For some reason I was expecting Silent Assassin. I hate this trend of re-booted games/movies in franchises just being called "Thing" and the reboot's sequel is "Thing 2" when there's already a fuckin "Thing" and "Thing 2"
It's another practice that works HARD against the notion that games are an artform. "If games are art, why are you deliberately replacing your old work with new? Titling them the same makes you look like you're trying to erase your previous work. What kind of artist would do that?" It really doesn't sit well with me outside of that argument either. It's lazy, stupid and enraging. Especially in the context of Hitman, as Hitman 1 and 2 continues the same story timeline established in Hitman 1 and 2. See where it gets stupid?
Its even weirder when you consider the only Hitman games to have numbers in the titles are both Hitman 2's.
You just blew my goddamn mind.
