dwarf Posted May 31, 2012 Posted May 31, 2012 Almost certainly a different clique of people who made the trailer, right? Big-budget 21st century developers likely have their own marketing divisions. You're more of an industry analyst than me, though.
Aimless Posted May 31, 2012 Posted May 31, 2012 The trailer itself will have been handled by Visual Works — the team that handle Final Fantasy's CGI — but my point is that this is the messaging everyone involved has agreed upon. I understand why it is the way it is, but that doesn't mean I have to like such barefaced cynicism. For comparison, look back at the and trailers.
gaggle64 Posted May 31, 2012 Posted May 31, 2012 I hate that trailer and if you like that trailer you are part of a problem, the problem, and a whole host of other problems around at the moment. I mean, just no. Just fucking no. Wrong time, wrong place, wrong bloody idea.
dwarf Posted May 31, 2012 Posted May 31, 2012 Just watched it, reminds me of Tarantino's childish Kill Bill films. They may as well have spunked into a tissue and retitled it Hitman: Wifebeater.
EEVILMURRAY Posted June 2, 2012 Posted June 2, 2012 I didn't mind the trailer. It's just out of place for a Hitman game though, would probably suit a Batman/Assassin's Creed game.
Cube Posted June 2, 2012 Author Posted June 2, 2012 There's a recent developer interview here which actually make the game sound like it's a Hitman game.
Aimless Posted June 2, 2012 Posted June 2, 2012 Oh, I'm not worried about the actual game; I think it looks great. Doesn't change my opinion of the recent trailer, though. For those who dislike GT's trappings:
dwarf Posted June 2, 2012 Posted June 2, 2012 Games have really made graphical leap this year, this in particular looks phenomenal.
gaggle64 Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 Oh dear. Oh dear oh dear oh dear... Yes - they've called their group of killer stripper nuns "The Saints". I'm sure it's a literary reference.
Dog-amoto Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 This is getting good reviews. Who'll be picking it up?
Magnus Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 (edited) I'm getting it, but I'm a bit more wary than you. Reviews like the PC Gamer one don't exactly make this sound like the sequel to Blood Money that I wanted. I saw one person ask a guy who'd reviewed the game if it was really true that everything you've done up to that point in a level resets when you load a checkpoint, and he said that it was, but that's really only an issue if you go back. And why would you ever want to go back? ... In a Hitman game. Edited November 20, 2012 by Magnus
Jimbob Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 I'm probably going to get it in the new year, got enough games to clear out before getting new ones. Mainly Halo 4, NBA 2K13 and Assassins Creed III. But once thats done, this will be purchased. It does look pretty good and it's one game i'm looking forward to playing.
Cube Posted November 20, 2012 Author Posted November 20, 2012 It's sounds like it's a really good linear stealth game.
Retro_Link Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 IGN gave it a 9.0 and Gametrailers a 6.9!
Magnus Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 It's sounds like it's a really good linear stealth game. The linear Hitman levels are always the best ones!
heroicjanitor Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 I keep thinking the title says Hitman: Abortion and then picture some seedy future where abortion is still illegal and people hire hitmen to assassinate their foetus
Magnus Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 Your mind goes to some dark places, Herojan.
EEVILMURRAY Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 I'm on the fourth (I think) level and enjoying it, even if it's ball bustingly difficult trying to get through undetected.
Dcubed Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 Been playing it myself and it's great! When they say that there are countless ways to go about each assassination, they aren't kidding! It might be more linearity designed than past games, but the sheer depth of the level/scenario design more than makes up for it
EEVILMURRAY Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 The Library level is simply frustrating when it comes to using stealth. Everyone is watching everyone else, so the moment you kill someone, someone else sees it. Bloodbath mode ACTIVATE. But the beginning level was shocking! Kill Diane! That's a twist you would expect at the end of a game.
Cube Posted November 21, 2012 Author Posted November 21, 2012 But the beginning level was shocking! Kill Diane! It's a shame they told everyone about it in February.
Magnus Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 Well, I for one am shocked that we have to kill Diane, Diana's lesser-known sister.
EEVILMURRAY Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 Exactly, there's no way Diana would betray the agency. It's a shame they told everyone about it in February. I was so awesome I missed that announcement. One mission got so hectic I went into "Fuck it!" Fire at will mode and created a sexy bloodbath, just to collect a few fuses.
