Hitman: Absolution

After three weeks of following a breadcrumb trail Hitman ARG (alternate reality game), the first screenshot of Eidos’s upcoming contract killer game, Hitman 5 has been discovered.

 

Solving all the clues thrown at them, led the forums members of the Hitman website to this screenshot, which looks like a CG video grab and might possibly be taken from the announcement trailer for the game which will be revealed at E3 this year.

 

Eidos had earlier confirmed that Hitman 5 is in development and the world would get their first glimpse of the title over at E3 2011, which will take place in LA Convention Center in June.

 

The image shows our bald assassin, holding his favorite weapon and looks all sorts of awesome.

 

Hitman 5 will get a information blowout over at E3 2011 and Gamersmint will be there in person to cover it all for you, our dear readers.

Square Enix trademarks Hitman: Absolution

 

It’s been heavily rumored recently that Io Interactive have been hard at work on the next game in the Hitman franchise. The Square Enix-owned developer teased their next game announcement to arrive “fairly soon“. With a new Hitman trademark from Square Enix coming in today, we may just have the icing on the cake.

 

Square Enix trademarked Hitman: Absolution in the United Kingdom on April 20. We’ll take a jab in the dark and say this is the title of Io’s new game.

Tik gandu lygi bet na tipo vienas is IO darbuotoju paleakino kazkokio nauju ju zaidimo picus.

A series of images from an unannounced game have been uploaded by an employee at IO Interactive, revealing an in-game character, environments and a level design from what is presumably Hitman 5.

 

Could these be images from the next Hitman?The shots, which you can see by clicking the thumbnail to the left, were uploaded by Tore Blystad earlier in the month. Tore told us that he "can't comment which game we're working on", but that "the character shot is ingame".

 

Tore also said that the game had been "a loong time coming" and that an official announcement is coming "soon". It's got to be Hitman, right?

na blogiausiu atveju jei tai ne hitman naujo picai ,tai tada kazkokio kito IO zaidimo , kas yra taip pat gerai labai.

Hitman 5 engine 'has potential to rival the best'

 

IO Interactive technical artist Daniel Ben-Noon has stated Hitman Absolution's game engine could "rival the best" while writing in a forum thread on www.hitmanforum.com.

 

Replying to users commenting that AI in the Hitman games hasn't evolved over the course of the last 4 titles, Ben-Noon stated:

 

"Well, kl2 was the "swan song" of glacier1. For all its flaws and hate the title gets I would still call it the pinnacle of what that engine technology founded in '94 could do. Environment fidelity, imho, way surpassing army of two which was also set in shanghai.

 

"Without being able to tell you where and how far we will take specific new games, the engine technology that is glacier2 easily has potential to rival the best. So while living up to you guys' expectations is no small task, at least we are making some changes and improvements that can actually take us there."

 

Hitman Absolution is due for release in 2012. It is being developed for Xbox 360, PS3, and PC.

Hitman Absolution 'a darker, more stylised game'

 

IO Interactive has revealed a few new Hitman Absolution details, saying the game will feature a darker, more character-driven plot than its predecessors.

 

The developer has worked with a cast of a dozen Hollywood actors to bring the story to life, including Keith Carradine (Cowboys & Aliens), who plays the villain, and Marsha Thomason (White Collar), who takes on the role of Agent 47's handler, Diana Burnwood.

 

Game director Tore Blystad told the Hollywood Reporter: "We've designed a more stylised, more serious, and darker game this time around in both the story line and the visuals.

 

"The hope is that the movie will be going in a similar direction, and then when they both come out they will speak the same language. They won't follow the old Hitman games, but rather go with this newer direction."

 

He continued: "There are more central characters in this game than we've ever dealt with before and they all have names and an important role in the story, so working with Hollywood talent was crucial to us. It's important within the framework of the game for players to be able to connect with these characters."

 

Announced earlier this week, due for an E3 showing next month and set for release next year, Absolution sends Agent 47 "on his most dangerous contract to date" as he fulfils different missions throughout the US. A portion of the game has been confirmed to take place in Chicago.

naujas Hitman bus labiau tamsesnis ir bus labiau skiriama demesio paciam story bei vizualinei pusei. zaidimas neseks ankstesniu Hitma daliu ,bet suks nauja linkme. tikesimes kad gera kryptim pasuks. gal ir gera ideja is tikro dauguma senu seriju reebotint kaip sakant. pakeist daug ka ,ismest kas pasene ir padaryt labiau siu dienu ir realistiskesni geima. dauguma manau to tikrai nori.

Hitman Absolution New Details

 

- The main villain in Hitman: Absolution is Blake Dexter, played by Cowboys & Aliens star Keith Carradine.

 

- Agent 47's handler is Diana Burnwood, played by White Collar's Marsha Thomason. Diana is said to have a "close relationship" with Agent 47, Hollywood Reporter revealed.

 

- "Diana is 47's only true human contact," Thomason said. "They've known each other an extremely long time, and in the Hitman world, she is what Q is to James Bond. So she sets the assignments, tells him where to go and who to kill."

 

- "The character I play in Hitman: Absolution is as multidimensional as any well-imagined character should be," Carradine said.

 

- "The vividness of the world entered by the gamer hinges on detail. To fully engage the attention of the player requires nothing less than the most completely realized universe of geography and personality."

 

- Developer IO is working with a dozen Hollywood actors for the hotly-anticipated game, due out next year. - Actors are required to provide performance capture and voice over work, conducted in Giant Studios, which James Cameron used for blockbuster movie Avatar.

 

- IO has captured "complex scenes" with up to seven actors on set at once. Absolution focuses on the emotional stories that evolve, director Tore Blystad said.

 

- "We had actors like Marsha and Keith come in and do full-body acting with facial and voice being captured simultaneously in scenes. - "Some of these scenes were very complex with all kinds of props and interactions amongst the actors."

 

- Absolution has been built "from the ground up" by IO using its new proprietary Glacier 2 technology.

 

- Blystad described it as "more stylised, more serious, and darker this time around in both the story line and the visuals".

 

- Agent 47 goes on different missions throughout the US, with part of the game taking place in Chicago.

 

- A new Hitman movie launches next year to coincide with the film. Daniel Casey (Jimmy Six) has written the script. The film is said to have an original story and characters, "but will retain the look and feel of the new game".

 

- "The hope is that the movie will be going in a similar direction, and then when they both come out they will speak the same language. They won't follow the old Hitman games, but rather go with this newer direction."
