Hitman Absolution screens

[Acid Burn]

Do you like 'em?




P.S. They are not pre-rendered.

[JackGordon]

Nice, very atmospheric.

[auric]

I'm interested as to how he got up there.

[Acid Burn]

Jump from the balcony (left bottom corner)

[auric]

Can u imagine if its Assassin's Creed style?

[Irate Iguana]

Screens look good. The police uniform in the first pic could be a Chicago police officers uniform.

Hopefully they keep that far away from the Hitman series.

[Acid Burn]

Noooooo. I tried playing the first AC game, but I didn't like it.

That is why should try the 3rd game or wait for the 4th.

never judge by the first, when it comes to gameplay.

significantly improved from the 1st.

I dig the colours and atmosphere, but though I really like the Assassin's Creed series I hope there's not too much of its climbing and jumping aspects in Abosulution.

[BeardedHoplite]

Oh, I think I see an FNC on the first screen!

[Sam_kain]

woooooooooooooooh, that is amazing, i am touched, it feels like it is going to be a hit, especially the 2nd image, very stealthy, and the 1st pic very action-y, just wow

How did you confirm it? 47 is using the same shuffling animation for a small ledge as was in previous games.

I'm thinking more climbing like in Splinter Cell but not mandatory to complete the level like more climbing pips and out of windows using ropes.

I played the demo of Conviction and I didn't like the cover system because he could just get a head shot with out peeking out. I liked rainbow six cover system or Gears of War if theres an aim button this time around.

What do u mean without peeking out?

after we select where to shoot, he came out just enough for both his hands & eyes to see the target & shoot.

I don't recall him just raising his hand & shoot.
like Ezio in AC:Brotherhood how he shot someone behind him with a crossbow because when I was aiming at him, he ran behind me & Ezio just follow him with his hand & shoot, while he face the other way.

Frankly, cover system can only improve Hitman. It's not like we will have to switch perspectives when getting in and out of cover. Or like we will have health regen that forces us to take cover for a second and heal full hp. Ok atleast I hope so!

So far, screenshots and atmosphere look good. And I'm glad the first screenshots are in the dark and subtle instead of guns blazing room screenshot.

Yeah, those screens look good, but what advantage does 47 have being on that ledge, unless he can peek around it and shoot? There's nothing around to jump to except the balcony he came from.

There is another balcony to your right, i believe he can jump there but when the guards turn around or else they will notice him

On 2nd thought it is kinda far away, so i am just like you, i don't know , maybe he can climb down ?!

[auric]

are u all sure that's game graphics?
looks like drawing to me.
especially the colouring, concept art?

or comic.

in anycase, if that is cover system, yay.

Two of the admins at hitmanforum.com got to see a few minutes of the game already and said that it does look like that ingame.

[BigBoss]

Odd camera angles. I wish we could just see some with the full hud.

Isn't the HUD usually one of the last things to get finalized and/or presented to the public?

[auric]

Is that he's hideout? i hear someone mentioned he's being chased but from where?

if its his hideout, I wonder if its layed out with traps or not
if he wants to come out clean, most likely not.

[7h30n]

What I meant by best cover system, I mean the implementation. Not the easy mode it gives.
Simply pressing right mouse button puts you into cover very fluidly and you can nicely move around the cover. I also liked all the slides into cover from far away. Cover system was quite precise (in getting you where you want it to) and extremely fluidly animated.
Well, that's just my opinion.
