47 doesn't have ICA tattoo or you can see the tattoo in previous games .

Okay, I stayed away from this forum wary of all the whining. I thought that the direction IO was taking was the right move despite the cries of the most diehard fans (with the possible exception of David Bateson's replacement.)

But WTF was that?

Sure, the Hitman franchise has always had gratuitous sexualization.

However when it presented itself, it was proper and logical in setting and scenario. 47 had to eliminate someone who happens to run a brothel, frequent a stripclub, be a sexual sadist, attend a vegas show etc…

When 47 faced off against previous sexy vixens their attire made sense. In Silent Assassin Charlie Sidjan happened to be a horny rich prick who hired scantily clad women to guard him. In Blood Money's Dance with the Devil mission Eve and Vaana disguised themselves as showgirls to get close to 47.

Then there's this.

These women are walking in broad daylight in nun uniforms (which isn’t even an inconspicuous disguise, the point is to not stand out) before stripping down to the very tactical and practical choice of fetish gear and high heels. Then they blow up and shoot up the motel in broad daylight, in full view out in the open!

This is something I would expect from the likes of a Japanese developer or fighting and fantasy games. Hitman may have always had campy over the top moments but it’s always had one foot on the ground with realism or believability. This just makes no damn sense.

This was nothing more than an excuse to render and showcase hyper sexualized females and show them strangled, punched, stabbed. and blown away with big phallic guns. This isn't mature, just something to titillate immature teenage boys.

PS: I have to compliment the beautiful visuals. But I have to do the same thing with Michael Bay movies.

anyone else feel like the closing the eyelids thing was a bit inappropriate here?? i know its a little thing to scrutinize but idk... i feel like 47 just blasted all those nun chicks in a parking lot... while the hotel is burning... who cares if that chicks eyes are open?? ya know?? they just shot a f'n rocket launcher at your a$$... lets make this respectable and close the one chicks eyes... they keep lookin at me and freaking me out.... seriously?? sorry guys but this video came off a bit cheesy, played out, and too mainstream for me... my opinion... we still have a lot to see i'm sure / i hope

[mcescher1]

*Idea* instead of closing the dead chicks eyes... what if 47 pulls her shirt down... and squeezes her nips... and then drives away on a segway..

Nogarda can you pull that off??

I think it might have something to do with the fact that, their all assassin's and 47 has a mutual respect for them sense they are just doing a job they were paid to do.

+ Latest Weapon Models 100%
+ Each Women Characters 100%
+ Every Animations 100%
+ Engine/Wind/Shock Wave 100%
+ Slowmotion Scenes 100%
+ Some Scenes looking really realistic 100%
+ Each Girl has their own story 100%
+ Music still fits to the Hitman Series 100%
+ This is my world 100%


Pros & Contras within the trailer:

+ 00:11 Perfect Music fade-in
+ 00:25 I like the movements, no, I love it
+ 00:28 Perfect Eyes, Perfect wink
+ 00:36 Smoothly Appearing weapons scene is simply and brilliantly solved

+ 01:40 She is best with knives, her revenge
+ 01:44 Amazing scene, you see her feeling pain (in her eyes)

+ 01:49 Hitman needed to do this
+ 01:54 RIP
+ 02:06 I see crucifixes, very nice
+ 02:20 Story begins, I guess

- Wallpaper missing at 01:01 (last frame from the frontside)
- Dropped Suits of the Girls are kinda missing in Video
- Hitman appeared in middle of nowhere at 01:21

Overall:

Francais, anglais ? Fais ton choix. Désolé de dire ce que je pense et de ne pas du tout adhérer à ce genre de bêtise.

My venom will spit again if necessary...

I think the trailer is amazing, pretty much looks real!
This really captures the hitman games dark humour, but still retains the gritty and realistic side too.
Cant wait to see what will be at E3!
I reckon they will show stealth gameplay

I know right! The trailer looked epic! Can't wait for E3!

Some people just don't get it. Watch this interview. It will explain a few things about the "missing stealth" issue......

Hey guys, a little new info about Absolution at E3, or a big one as you wish, IO will present the demo "King of Chinatown" tomorrow but also a new level called "Streets of Hope". It reminds me something...

Woops... I think I posted in the wrong place ? Sorry for that !
