Too many people were let down expecting them to repeat and refine the formula. The disguise system is kind of wierd, but it's okay once you're used to it.

[QUOTE=QueenSasha24;38613008]Did anyone else notice the [sp]subtle Resident Evil reference in "Death Factory" with Dr. Valentine and Dr. Ashford's names?[/sp] [editline]27th November 2012[/editline] I'm assuming the next new game is going to be a sequel to Freedom Fighters, since they said in like 2007 it was on their To-do list after Hitman and Kane&Lynch.[/QUOTE] Oh I'd totally buy a Freedom Fighters sequel, assuming it had some coop or splitscreen elements.

I think I'd like a spin-off or expansion of this game with a [sp]Grown up Victoria[/sp] as the assassin, I just think it'd be kinda interesting playing as [sp]her since she's only 15 in Absolution and already has nearly the same physical abilities as 47.[/sp]

Didn't they mention the next Hitman would be something different from what we have in mind? What if that is an actual possibility?

I haven't payed much attention. What is the verdict? Is Absolution good?

[QUOTE=DaDillsta;38615069]Didn't they mention the next Hitman would be something different from what we have in mind? What if that is an actual possibility?[/QUOTE] I'm more worried about the DLC for Absolution. People have mentioned it should be Blood Money type levels when it comes to the contracts and I think that would fill the void people were missing in Absolution. I agree with that statement 100% but we should be vocal about this to IO.

[QUOTE=stupid07er;38615121]Except that the whole point of the game is that you're saving her from a life as an assassin.[/QUOTE] You're "giving her the choice you never had", there might be a little possibility, but it will make all of 47's efforts pointless.

[QUOTE=BlackRainbow;38609817]What? I'm pretty sure there are animations for using the fiber wire.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Hellborg 65;38610484]He means you still can't see the fiber wire when you strangle someone.[/QUOTE] Yeah, i meant this, sorry if i wasnt clear. Like, you'd think that if they didnt want to animate it around the neck for fear of clipping, they could of had physics on it like 47's suit and tie.

[QUOTE=tom1029;38615100]I haven't payed much attention. What is the verdict? Is Absolution good?[/QUOTE] Very good. Graphics are great, world is lively and detailed, characters are pretty good (although some personalities/stereotypes are exaggerated) story is meh. Gameplay is very solid aside from the silly scoring system which honestly doesn't impact the game much aside from buying very expensive weapon parts with.

I was thinking they should make a game like Hitman where instead of hitting men, you serve them subpoenas

[QUOTE=Demeschik;38615253]You're "giving her the choice you never had", there might be a little possibility, but it will make all of 47's efforts pointless.[/QUOTE] Except it would be her choice instead of being forced and manipulated into a puppet for her whole life. [editline]27th November 2012[/editline] Oddly enough one of my favorite parts of the game is where you get a new suit. It was a really nice break from all the sneaking and murdering.

Just bought and installed the game. Got into the tutorial mission and there's no sound. Anyone else get this bug?

[QUOTE=12kTeddy;38615892]Just bought and installed the game. Got into the tutorial mission and there's no sound. Anyone else get this bug?[/QUOTE] Try restarting the game.

Where do I get the Chipmunk disguise?

[QUOTE=peterson;38616600]Where do I get the Chipmunk disguise?[/QUOTE] in the part where you [sp]just come out of the mines, and need to infiltrate the building with all the mines on display inside. it's in the back of a building to the left of the building you need to infiltrate.[/sp]

[sp]It's impossibru for Victoria to become an assasin, since she threw that USB that powers her(even though it was earlier stated that without it, she can't even move, yet now she can peferctly can, goddamn weak-ass symbology THAT DOESN'T FOLLOW THE GODDAMN STORY, SAME AS THE GODDAMN BARCODE REMOVAL SCENE, GRRR.)rendering all the debate moot.[/sp] Party pooped.

As far as I can see it, she wants to do it, but she hesitates and doesn't end up doing it. Can't even see anything dropping down in the video.

[QUOTE=12kTeddy;38615892]Just bought and installed the game. Got into the tutorial mission and there's no sound.

[QUOTE=Nemisis116;38624130]Sometimes my game cut out sound after I paused for a bit Just go into the sound options and slightly move the master volume bar, it put the sound back for me[/QUOTE] I heard some people mention that disabling the Steam overlay fixes sound when they have it.
