what the fuck am i looking at, splinter cell? when did he ever climb about shit and use sticky cover

[QUOTE=Kondor58;30406366]what the fuck am i looking at, splinter cell? when did he ever climb about shit and use sticky cover[/QUOTE] He did so when the player choosed to! He also went homicidal maniac under my control a couple of times

Only thing I didn't like about that trailer was the arrows pointing to guards, that looked out of place

[QUOTE=kaze4159;30406584]Only thing I didn't like about that trailer was the arrows pointing to guards, that looked out of place[/QUOTE] That is Instinct mode, if you are a new player you can enable that to help you on the way. But if you are a real Hitman player you can just disable that, just like the classic games

[QUOTE=Kondor58;30406366]what the fuck am i looking at, splinter cell? when did he ever climb about shit and use sticky cover[/QUOTE] Are you serious? Those things are just making it better and easier

Hitman was never about avoiding enemies it was about blending

Adding different game mechanics doesn't make a game worse than it's predecessor, I'm sure there'll still be ways to disguise yourself and blend, or if you choose you could just sneak around and kill your target. They're just adding more options for you, it's not a bad thing.

[QUOTE=Kondor58;30406366]what the fuck am i looking at, splinter cell? when did he ever climb about shit and use sticky cover[/QUOTE] Hitman always had a lot of climbing and jumping over balconies and shit. Almost every level had ladders, pipes and other shit you could climb.

Oh man the cop hostage scene looked amazing. And i fucking hope i'm not forced to shoot/kill trough levels, i want to kill a cop taking a piss use his uniform to gain other possibilities that yet again lead to even more possibilities.

Jesper Kyd isn't doing the soundtrack. David Bateson isn't doing the voice. The original I/O Hitman team isn't making it. Uhhhhhhh... [b]Edit:[/b] Well, shit. Info was still 100% correct when I posted it: [url]http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=433661[/url] Most of it's still right though.

[QUOTE=Kondor58;30406366]what the fuck am i looking at, splinter cell? when did he ever climb about shit and use sticky cover[/QUOTE] That isn't splinter cell, that's Conviction which isn't a splinter cell game.

[QUOTE=Strike 86;30407838]Jesper Kyd isn't doing the soundtrack. David Bateson isn't doing the voice. The original I/O Hitman team isn't making it. Uhhhhhhh...[/QUOTE] Seriously? Oh God I suddenly lost hope for this game :ohdear:

[QUOTE=Strike 86;30407838]Jesper Kyd isn't doing the soundtrack. David Bateson isn't doing the voice. The original I/O Hitman team isn't making it. Uhhhhhhh...[/QUOTE] Uh. If this is true I won't even look at the game.

[QUOTE=Strike 86;30407838]Jesper Kyd isn't doing the soundtrack. David Bateson isn't doing the voice. The original I/O Hitman team isn't making it. Uhhhhhhh...[/QUOTE] I'd like to know where you got this information.

[QUOTE=Strike 86;30407838]Jesper Kyd isn't doing the soundtrack. David Bateson isn't doing the voice. The original I/O Hitman team isn't making it. Uhhhhhhh...[/QUOTE] David is still doing the voice of 47 ( David Bateson will once again voice Agent 47.[10] ) Half of the original team is working on it (Its in good hands, pretty sure about that) And yeah, Jesper Kyd is not making the music, but that worries me that much

[QUOTE=Strike 86;30407838]Jesper Kyd isn't doing the soundtrack. David Bateson isn't doing the voice. The original I/O Hitman team isn't making it. Uhhhhhhh...[/QUOTE] Source?

I don't see what the problem is. In the level shown there's no possible way to blend in so the cover system works to avoid enemies.

I'm glad that now when you take a hostage police won't open fire.

[QUOTE=MasterG;30409782]This worries me.[/QUOTE] Actually, this is pretty cool.

[QUOTE=MasterG;30409782]This worries me.[/QUOTE] I think thats awesome :v:

[QUOTE=MasterG;30409982]It worries me because it would be very easy for them to force 47 to only get a disguise from certain scripted points in the level not by, say, knocking out a guard and taking his uniform.[/QUOTE] Oh, you're just being too pessimistic about this game. I'm sure it will turn out just as awesome as Blood Money or even better.

[QUOTE=Laserbeams;30409999]Oh, you're just being too pessimistic about this game. I'm sure it will turn out just as awesome as Blood Money or even better.[/QUOTE] Core Hitman mechanics (THAT YOU SHOULD NOT, I REPEAT, NOT EVER FUCK WITH): -Disguise as any adult male in the vicinity -Leave the thinking to the player, don't make important things shiny/obvious. -Barely any in game scripting or hand holding. -Make shootouts very, very undesirable. And that's pretty much how to make a good hitman.

[QUOTE=MasterG;30409782]This worries me.[/QUOTE] hey didn't you hear removing variety is all the rage nowadays

[QUOTE=MasterG;30411249]Yeah, choices are for nerds! The only choice today's gamer needs is "Shoot with gun A" or "Shoot with gun B"[/QUOTE] hold x to swap gun A with gun C

[QUOTE=Kondor58;30412021]hold x to swap gun A with gun C[/QUOTE] Screw gorderp freenoob and his 13 guns amirite?

Oh shh it will be fine.

I hope this dosent go the way splinter cell did. Conviction was a good game and I enjoyed it but it wasn't a splinter cell game as mentioned above.

[QUOTE=MasterG;30409782]This worries me.[/QUOTE] It didn't dilute the previous 4. why start now?
