Nobody told me, I'm happy with the distribution model

I speak for others

It will be a shame if all the trophies can be taken at once, at this moment I usually lose interest in the game and will not wait a year for them.

Strange shit, the music for the trailer, as I walked, was written by a certain Danish DJ Bjarke Niemann

Without revelations, the track, from start to finish, is a tribute to Kyud, like even a sample from the contract,

but even this scuffing >>>>>> fierce shit from the absolute, where the most memorable composition was recorded by Kavinsky for the trailer

Here, as in the case of Deus Ex, they propose to vote for collectors (follow the link for details in Russian and go to the off.site):

New Hitman showed me 26 chances to kill in 20 minutes

Tin, in short you can: 

 - throw off the chandelier

 - dress up as a bartender, add deadly poison to the drink

 - dress up as a bartender, add a non-lethal poison to the drink, the victim runs to the toilet, done (hitman contract, Fuchs, borsch)

 - build a trap from a heater in the garden, a generator, even an audio speaker

 - launch fireworks earlier than planned to create noise and attract the attention of the participants of the fashion show

 - simply kill with a pistol by removing the guards

 - detonate the victim with a remote bomb

 - climb underground passages in search of a good sniper point

 - distract the guards with a coin (hello blood money)

 - buy soda from a vending machine and throw it in someone's face, confusing it there

 - sneak into the security room and delete the recording from the surveillance cameras

 - leave the place both on foot, and by boat or helicopter

olsow translation of an article from a gamer's writing (via hitmanclub)

[spoil] This is what Hitman should be. I have a very clear idea of ​​how a cold-blooded hitman game should look and work, and I don't think it's very different from what other fans see. Silent target elimination in a sandbox world with an almost unlimited number of possible options. Everything.

During the demonstration of the demo level, IO Interactive turned on the free flight camera and showed me in detail the location - the castle in Paris. There are a lot of details at the level, and you will definitely not see all of them in one playthrough.
What you need.

Having risen up from the red carpet, the place where the level starts, the camera opens up the widest scope. A lavish party flooded with tightly interacting NPCs, stretching from the terrace, through the nightclub, to the catwalk with the fashion show, and even to the model's dressing rooms. There are main and additional entrances. Also on the level there is a basement, a penthouse and an attic. On the first floor, a secret auction takes place, during which members of the secret vie for the right to possess the classified information that your target, Viktor Novikov, is selling. There is a dock with a motor boat, a helicopter pad, and a tower on the outskirts of the location, which is an excellent sniper position. All in all, we have a sophisticated and detailed killing ground with many intriguing variables. These are the sandboxes that Hitman: Blood Money is known for. and that's exactly what we lacked in the disappointing Absolution. However, if we consider the location as a level from Blood Money, then in terms of audio-visual processing, it is worth ten years of waiting.
The IO team loves to emphasize that this game represents a return to the traditional values ​​of the Hitman series, and I must admit, I readily believe them, after being presented to me with an emphatically stylish level. However, the distribution method of the new Hitman is completely different from the previous games in the series - and, perhaps, in general from many other games.

In theory, the sales method presented is closest to a season pass for episodic games, but it can also attract its live component. Paying £ 40 will get you a piece of the new game in December. More and more new content will be added over the next year, resulting in a full-fledged game shaped through player feedback. As a result, the game will turn out to be bigger than Absolution, but in itself it is even more unusual. I asked the team to explain to me what it would look like and why they decided to release the game that way.

“It's pretty simple,” says creative director Christian Elverdam. “We're making a big game, bigger than Absolution. We want to say that you get everything for 60 bucks or the standard price, and you don't have to pay anything else. There are two ways to accomplish this. You can watch live how the game world opens and grows, happily wait for the next level and be one of the first to explore it. Alternatively, you can wait and get the whole thing at the end. Do whatever is more convenient for you. "

Early players will have a series of contracts in real time, which sounds very tempting. “If you start playing the game right after the release, you can participate in the small tasks that we are going to organize,” continues Elverdam. “Imagine a location like the one we showed today. Let's say at the end of the week you receive a text message on your phone, see an ad on Reddit or any other site, and see that "... the target has appeared in Paris and will be there for 20 hours." You only have a photo of the target, so you won't be able to find it using Instinct or the like. You will have to research the level and observe the target. If he suddenly gets nervous and runs away, you won't get him anymore. And finally, when you figure out how you are going to complete the order, your successful attempt counts. You have to make an effort because there won't be a second chance to improve the result. We are sure that there are many players who want to be the first. There will be many streams and discussions on the Internet. And if you walk like me, you figure out the method of order fulfillment and do as someone did in the walkthrough - but you still have tension when trying to complete the task. You have a sniper rifle and just one shot. This experience, we believe, will be new for the players. This is a different approach to the hitman simulator. You will miss the missed opportunities because the contract will not be renewed next week. " like someone did in the walkthrough - but you still have tension when trying to complete the task.

In theory, this is similar to daily challenges in Spelunky or an event in an MMO, and the frequency of the new game implies that the plot will be given in chunks - as in the Telltale Games games. A convenient way to draw attention to the game throughout the year without selling additional content. I can't remember any other games where a similar scheme would work and make sense.

However, let's not get distracted. So far, these are only foreseeable plans, and there is a risk that this method of presentation will lead to the fact that the game will turn out to be very abrupt and stretched. Personally, I usually play entire games in a period of one to two weeks, so I only take on episodic Telltale games after the end of the season, because I can not wait from one episode to the next. The challenge for IO is to show that their events are fun enough to go through as soon as they appear, instead of buying them all together at the Steam sale.
Also, this model should help developers get important feedback from players. “We humbly admit that we have a lot to learn during this time,” says Production Director Hasan Abrak. “We want to be able to customize the game even more carefully for our fans. This requires many conditions. We'll have to rethink everything. Including technology. The goal is not just to create the largest sandbox level, or to place as many NPCs as possible on it - although we are proud that we were able to do this. You also need to create technology that will develop and grow with the gaming community. We know how what works and we know how to manage it, but we still have a lot to learn. "

During the demo level, I observed the different ways in which Agent 47 can complete the task. You can use a screwdriver to loosen the fasteners so that the structure falls and bit someone, you can poison a cocktail in a bar. You can knock out the guards, whose AI now works individually, and not in a swarm, so that it becomes possible to deal with each NPC separately. You can use explosives, which opponents can defuse or bring into the room. Thus, it is possible to simultaneously distract the enemy and safely carry the weapon into the protected area.

I was also impressed by the words about mini-stories that play out at the level and can help you get to the goal. “We strive to create many different missions,” says Elverdam. - “The core of the gameplay will be the same, but in terms of the environment, each level will be different. For example, in the demo level, a fashion show takes place in a Parisian palace. There are many sub-narratives within this narrative. At the very beginning of the level, you can meet a journalist who is going to interview Viktor Novikov, and this information can be used when planning an approach. There is a KGB officer at the level who has a meeting with Novikov - also useful information. He has a loud quarrel with the chief designer behind the scenes, and if you do it right, you will be able to lure Novikov onto the stage. The levels will be crammed with such little narratives that you might find useful. We like to think of Agent 47 as a curious observer, eavesdropping and eavesdropping on things that can help complete the mission. Each mission is done in a unique tone, depending on the location and conditions, but there is always something that you might not expect. "

All this is much more like the classic Hitman than Absolution, but with an improved interface of the latter. “We asked ourselves, 'How do we make the best game in the series?'” Says Elverdam. “For starters, I had to look back at the past 15 years that we've been making these games. First of all, we determined that Hitman: Blood Money was highly regarded by many players. In fact, this is a big sandbox. There is a killer, there is a goal - and this is the basis, the core. Another example is Silent Assassin, where tone and world travel are important, and the plot makes it feel like the stakes are bigger than meets the eye. As far as Absolution is concerned, we had a lot to do for this game. We created a living world in which NPCs communicate a lot and feel alive. If security is looking for you or looking for opportunities to complete a mission, it is very important to pay attention to the world around you. We wanted to keep this trait in the new game. I think we also managed with Absolution to make a stealth action game where everything depends on the player and his playing style. Various games in the series merge together in the new part. This is the best way to explain what we have been doing since Absolution was released. " The game will also return to the "Contracts" mode.

The variety of levels is very important for developers. Paris is just a small fraction of what they will be working on for the next year and a half and beyond. “The different levels will help maintain a sense of global travel and high-quality commissioning,” comments Abrak. - “Another component is the gameplay itself. Some levels will be more vertically oriented, others with richer environments. It's also an important part of the locations. "

Hitman could get the series back on track. IO is trying to figure out what a 47's game should be like, and the studio is looking to fans as an important part of the creative quest. Despite the controversy over an unusual selling model, I'm glad there is a classic Hitman underneath it all - a delightful sandbox that can finally give fans what they've been looking for since Blood Money.

This is all sooo cool.
The only pity is that the day of the release will be distributed only in digital form. And cheap. As if there is a catch in something)

[member = 'Re-ally'], That's why we have everything else for 3.5k, because. they know that Russians will look for a catch in everything, even where there is none)

The main thing is that now the picture is normal, without shine, blur, bloom and acid scale.

No, now the picture is not the main thing in the upcoming hitman. Now the main thing is the good old mechanics, and not that shit from the absolute.
 

The game seems to cost 50 euros in Europe, they wrote somewhere. Nobody checked? If so, then our price of 2300 is understandable.

gameplay in very poor quality and in fast forward, but you can estimate the size of the map 

[member = 'Thief1987'] certify 40 pounds (55 euros)

An acquaintance of an acquaintance of an acquaintance played alpha, says that the developed praise to the old and new gods abandoned the crappy detection system from the absolute, when the security, only suspecting you, immediately starts to smack. The levels are really huge (not even levels, but worlds), the layout can take more than an hour. 

Alpha, by the way, ends on Monday, the beta campaign for preorders starts immediately after it

That would be another first-person view, that would be on the weapon under the ****)

The couple can’t believe it ...

Instinct ... but maybe they'll come to their senses and remove

everybody disperse

[quote name = 'themoderat' timestamp = '1436094132' post = '4884754'] Instinct ... [/ quote]

in ablysyushen at max difficulty it was not, so all the rules, instinct only for crayfish and casuals will be left

[member = 'kolian666'], I spent half of my childhood playing hitman, but I almost never played at max difficulty, I NEED SAVES

Um, through the walls ...

Beta for preorders next week?
