Post your questions to IO here

Oh, and how about 47's inventory, how many weapons can he carry at any given time? Is he only able to carry weapons of a certain size? For example, have you made it so that he can't carry a rifle in his pocket. Also, what role do cameras play in Absolution. Do they blow your cover if you are in a restricted area immediately? Do you have to find the video tape? Or, when you are in disguise, does it damage your mission rating? How many different melee move animations have been created for use in the game, I know I've seen a ton already, but I'm just wondering out of curiousity. Are there some missions that don't take place in huge crowds of people, but they still have the kill sandbox design, like King of Chinatown but with less people. Finally, in the final game, are we able to disable certain parts of instinct? For example, can we disable the paths the targets take, but still be able to use instinct to locate our targets or hide our faces from our enemies while in disguise?

By the way, thank you so very much for taking the time to answer our questions. This is just why I love IO Interactive and their games, because you guys listen to us. Thank you and I'm just dying to play this game, I've wanted to play it since the day I completed Blood Money six years ago!!

I think I posted a question on page 8; I'm not sure if you're going all the way back but heres my question again:

Is PC Version "Digital Download Only" because both Gamestop/Amazon is showing "download" no box

Thanks

Hitman Absolution on Steam PC have achievements?

[Kellerman]

When you say "Agent 47 works alone" as an answer to "Will there be Multiplayer?", is that the fancy way of saying there will not be a multiplayer, or multiplayer will not have any sort of "team games" like Assassins Creed or Max Payne?

[clack]

Ok there's another question.
I just saw this video here and I found out that there wasn't any animation when he holsters the guns. Is it going to get fixed?

good question here!!!!

will 47 be able to shoot through walls???????

realistically we can shoot through walls in real life... some walls we cannot... is this the case in absolution??

i know for me there has been a few times where im thinking...'when this guy opens this door im dead... i can't take another hit... and he knows im here... let me shoot through this wooden door... so i can kill the s.o.b.'

thanks ahead of time

it would be funny to watch these things in instinct as well

[mcescher1]

what kind of hand to hand combat does 47 utilize?? like... what style of fighting?? does he have an official style??

[TexanShooter]

Will you all be adding another stage or something else to the sniper challenge? Or is it just a dead end already lol. It's a long time from here to Nov.

[Silenter]

Hi, IO, all the best from Germany! I am really looking forward to Absolution, although it's tough to be patient until 20th November. But it's a good time of the year to play as 47 as I don't see it as a "summer game".

But, enough of that, here's my question. Will Agent 47 be able to behave kind of organic with his environment? Meaning that 47 can sit down, use chairs, read a paper or something like that. In the previous games Agent 47 couldn't do anything like that when waiting for an objective or supervising the area. It would add some big time of realism if 47 could do all that inconspicuously instead of just standing still, having turned his eyes to the wall.

Or maybe, if not for Absolution, is that a thing you plan to introduce?

Which week?

[tbcdlad]

Any idea of how huge of a role crowds will play in Absolution? I know that King of Chinatown uses them as well as a few other levels, but I was wondering if there will be any levels that are designed using the "kill sandbox" without crowds. Sort of like Anathema from Silent Assassin or A New Life from Blood Money? Thanks.

[Rekalty]

Will Hitman: Absolution have DLC? (New missions, weapons and such.)

[MasterSegos]

1.Does the Professional Edition including the Sniper Challenge except the ones its already told by the the announce?

[Sly Cooper]

Will this game feature takedowns from certain positions? example 47 hides in cover on a wall with knife, guard walks up and 47 grabs him and stabs him and hides body behind cover

[Royto2]

i have just received my code of sniper challenge but when i go to www.hitmansniper.com and entered in my information it said "Sorry you cannot access this site at this time" Could you be kind enough to provide me with a solution. Thank you

yeaaaaa

[JFarm13]

Whens the next demo coming out besides the sniper challenge maybe release the Chinatown?

[JFarm13]

I was thinking the same thing, I saw in the king of Chinatown demo that he was hiding behind the car so that's a good possibility

You dont have to use it, and the higher the difficulty the less you get so maybe the highest wont have it

They said that that was a bug they already fixed it

[tbcdlad]

Just a quick question. I know you guys haven't decided on whether or not there will be a demo yet, but I was wondering if you guys have a date in mind of when you would announce whether or not we will have a demo of Absolution before November 20th? Like is there a certain month in which you would make this announcement? Thank you for your consideration.

[JFarm13]

Is there a possibility that agent 48 will show up in Absolution. Maybe to kill 47??

Never mind I read something that tells me about 47 killing a series of 48s with a minigun

[Bane391]

In Blood Money when you switch weapons, it shows 47 uncover the weapon form his suit, however in the gameplay so far the weapon magically appears into his hand, this also happends when 47 picks up a weapon. Has this been done on purpose?
