Hello

I really look forward to play Hitman as soon as it hits the stores, my only worry is whether it is going to be playable for mac or not, I have a spare windows (vaio) but i do not think it is powerful enough to run the game on full graphics etc. therefore i would like to know if anyone knew whether I'm going to to disappointed or not?

Thanks .

Will Absolution come out on PSVITA and there are no decent games out for it still ?
Would be awesome to be playing absolution everywhere you go !

[lukasz89]

Are the "Streets of Hope" and "The King of Chinatown" playthroughs, IX and II numbers indicate the order of the following levels in the game ?

Actually, both of these playthroughs are set during the same time period. However, the devs have stated that Hope looks like it is set in the fifties or sixties simply because it is a town that hasn't progressed with time. The Streets of Hope level takes place in a present day setting, but it appears to be out of touch with the rest of the world's updated technologies and cultures. I like to think of it as a secluded rural town that's been lost in time.

After watching the ComicCon 2012 of the GameSpot's stage demo, there are several unrealistic things that some of us prefer for it to be different especially when the game is played in an expert mode. The gamespot's video is at: comic-con.gamespot.com/video/6386855/
NIMONIMONIMO (that's me) said:
1. @14:55, Why police don't stop him & try to question him at all when he is walking away from an accident?
2. @8:36, that's a rough way of opening the door, should've made it a little smoother &/or more complicated so it would not make so much noise.
3. @7:21, how come that stupid guard doesn't even twist his head to see where the heck you are going?
Now Dreamagus also mentioned some interesting stuff:
1. @14:40 "The 3rd target went directly to inspect the thrown wrench...I think it would be more realistic if he went to inspect from where the wrench came before...I mean, anyone with a decent sight can see from that distance that that's a wrench."
2. @9:25 "The way 47 killed the guard that caught him in the garage terrace was also pretty unrealistic...the guy let him approach and then simply pointed his gun away while 47 stabbed him with the screwdriver..."

I appreciate the response, any chance you have a link to something with the devs stating this though?

This interview should answer your question. Your question is asked at around 9:20. I hope this footage helps you.

11.07 - guard the gnome?

What is guard the gnome? Maybe Hitman Absolution is like a porn movie about a player (snow white) & 7 different ways to reach the high rating.

He was saying garden gnome, not guard the gnome.

I don't know if you're still taking new questions but I have a few. Anyone can answer but I'd like a source if possible.

1) Can you replay levels/chapters/missions?
I don't like having to replay the entire game just to revisit my favorite moments.

2) Will there be any sort of challenge mode outside of the Campaign that is similar to Batman Arkham City's stealth Challenge Modes or Splinter Cell Conviction's Infiltration mode? I'm not asking if there's co-op, just a challenge mode outside of Campaign.

3) On ps3, can we choose whether aiming and shooting are mapped to L1 and R1 instead of L2 and R2?
I have the Sniper Challenge on PS3 and fortunately that gives you the option to choose, but what worries me is that the way it's displayed in the Sniper Challenge, it almost seems like it was an afterthought and added at the last second since it's not even in the "Controller layout" section of the menu. Since L2 and R2 were default in the Sniper Challenge, and I don't know if the Sniper Challenge's menu's will transfer over to the full game, I'm worried that small option will be left out.
This is very important to me; I won't buy a game that forces you to shoot with L2 and R2. I just can't play like that...

Please try to answer! Thanks! Cannot wait for this game! (assuming I'll be able to choose my aiming/shooting configuration on ps3!)

Yes. All Hitman games are intended to replay levels to get a better score or rating. When you complete a level/mission, you're free to play it again many times whenever you want.

[SirLunchAlot]

Hey, is it possible to release the Chinatown or Library mission for as a demo version? Because we all know this missions and it is a litte gift for the community

[sgg847]

Is Point shooting of orphanage demo absolutely identical to PS of the last one or all depends on guns in the hands?

[machdude]

- will there be multiple ways to attain the SA rating in each mission
- what are the benefits of the "high roller" suit (walmart preorder)

[Moose47]

how many missions did you guys make in the new game so far?? or how many missions is it gonna have??

IO Interactive hasn't revealed any details about online play in Hitman: Absolution, though lead producer Hakan Abrak is on record as saying that the team is doing something "very, very interesting... on the online side" in a 2011 interview with Eurogamer. Given the focus in the Hitman series on stealthy play and careful maneuvering, any crack at multiplayer would pretty much have to be something more than "shoot everyone who's not on your team" to be taken seriously.

Then I heard some rumors, reading & seeing post about this:
A newly released E3 2012 teaser image from Square Enix for Hitman: Absolution strongly suggests that some sort of multiplayer reveal is part of the plan for the yearly trade show. The image features a lineup of shapely she-assassins decked out with all manner of gear. Will Hitman: Absolution feature ladies-only multiplayer shenanigans?

1. Really? Why? The one game I could count on, not being screwed with... then you go a different direction. Fired 2 Main character voices & then the music Composer? Ouch.
2. Ever look at how many people actually play the multiplayer on those stealth type games? Very little. Hitman replay value very high! My splinter cell conviction multiplayer can't find matches. I have finished every Hitman game, those others... no. Not near as fun or challenging.
3. If you do have Multiplayer... Please NO ACHIEVEMENTS tied to any of it!!! If you do I will cancel my pre-order... along with all the true loyal fans.

So, my question is, as we all want to know:
Will there be Multiplayer? If so, with Achievements/Trophy's?

Thank you long time Hitman Buyer = every game - Hitman Codename 47 - PC,/Hitman 2: Silent Assassin - PS2, Xbox & Nintendo GameCube / Hitman: Contracts - Xbox / Hitman: Blood Money Xbox 360 & 2 soundtracks.
Pre-order - Hitman: Absolution

i hope you don't mean the "saints"...
sorry, i can't believe you are a real hitman fan if you don't know the saints trailer

Moreover your question has already be answered by Travis@IO:
___
Will there be multiplayer?
Agent 47 works alone
___


But id like to add two questions:

What can we expect regarding nvidia 3d vision support?
What about Steam? Can you add every retail key to your steam library?

Yes... yes I have seen the Saints trailer... with Actress Vivaca A. Fox the talent behind the leader of the Saints Lasandra Dixon in Hitman Absolution.

However... as it has been mentioned on a few sites in recent days, that a multiplayer is in the works... An answer from 01-30-2012, 09:28 AM doesn't help, if Eidos is heading that way online. Granted. We might not play as Agent 47 but, play as some other character online in multiplayer.

So, OnkelKuni thanks for not reading everything, understanding what was written (typed), the question asked and picking out one piece to call me out on? Really?
Please, find something better to do... than pick on a fellow gamer who is curious & waiting a good bit (6 years) for this title.

Thank you Eidos & IO Interactive in advance!

Is the Deluxe Edition of Hitman: Absolution available for pre-order in the US? If so, which retailers currently offer it? I have been looking for this and cannot find it.

PLEASE PLEASE REMOVE POINTING SHOOTING...IT JUST DOESN'T SUIT,IT MAKES THE GAME LOOK BAD

You DON'T HAVE to use it if you don't like it...

[Shadow47]

I personally like it. I find nothing wrong with this game. I see nothing that's not fitting. If anything, I like these new features being introduced in Absolution.

If anyone doesn't like a feature, don't use it. And if it REALLY bothers you, don't get the game. I'm trying to find the Deluxe Edition of this game. I'm willing to reserve it and spend the $$$$ on it. I'll always love this series.

This does not answer the question of if there will be Multiplayer. All it says is he works alone. What does that mean? It means we wont be playing with a bunch of Agent 47's on one team and a bunch of other people on the other team. Maybe it means no team games.

This really does not answer the question of if there will be multiplayer not - it simply states the obvious and people seem to think that is a "No."
