I dont know it it is because of the poor resolution or the levels or whatever but there isnt one screen there that i like:( , theres jagged edges around everything, weird colors, and textures dont look so great. Doesnt look better than H2 at all:confused: .
Anyway thanks for the info:) .

[Conker The Squirrel]

Keep in mind that these are Xbox screenshots. On PC it will always look quite a bit more crisp and sharp. Although the very first screen, i like it alot . But that is the PC version.

[Alexlovesguns]

Yes i noticed the gamespy logo on the 1st screen and it looks better, but the rest does looks terrible.
And like promissed it looks very dark, even reminds of SC or MP2, wonder if we will get some day exotic levels like India?

[Conker The Squirrel]

Most of them don't look too good..i know for sure that the PC screenshots will look alot better.
All the shots before these that we've seen and we were impressed by was all PC, so that sums it up .

Also, IMO the 3 siberia shots (one from inside a building with the light) they DO look very nice, the nice foggy/blurry kind of effect and everything.

I think they look great. I'm not a graphic whore :p Gameplay is the thing that matters, which is why I'm far more interested in Hitman, than say, Half-Life, FarCry and Doom3.

I agree! I dont care about the graphics as much as the game play although good graphics are a bonus for a good game. IMO the graphics look pretty good and appears will be the same or better then H2. The only thing is with these xbox screenshots you can see where the anti-aliasing on the PC version will help make graphics look crisper and get rid of the rough edges.

The gameplay is King in Hitman . I'm not worried about the gameplay, i know it's gonna be KILLER!!! I just hope IO will fix one particular thing and that is the dead animations. In Hitman 1 they were perfect but they messed up with Hitman 2. Bodies would just lie flat on the ground when shot dead,instead of a death animation. And still in these contracts movies it shows the ridiculous impact of the Silver Ballers, i hate it..the bodies just fly backwards , it's just to damn unrealistic, they should just give guards deaths and decent death animation.

Oh and is this gonna be the final Boxart? Would be a pity, cause the boxart that was supposed to be used looks SO MUCH cooler.

Very intersting Screen Shots, But I notice in 2 of the screen shots, 47 was draging what appears to be another one of his "brother" how dose that work? Hm........... something to think about. Also, I think the layout, is looks alot like hitman code name 47, but overall, it dosen't look bad (actually quite good) But even though some of you complained about the graphics, if you look closly enough about the snow and rain effect, it is actually amazing looking with the reflection and all, so I am not too worried, just want to game soon.... Still 1 month away........

I think the screenshots are ps2 and not xbox, and the jagged edges are alot more noticeable when the resolution is very low. I would really like to see some 1240x1024x32 screens from a pc version to have an idea of how the game really looks like.

I care for both and i would be glad to see improvements in both aspects of the game, but it looks IO improved a.i. big time for contracts so its all good:) .

[Conker The Squirrel]

I believe the source clearly said that it was the Xbox version they played and remember , screenshots never do a game justice.
Wait for movies:)
