What the hell was that? IO keeps reassuring long time fans of the series that you can still play it Silent Assassin style, yet offer no shreds of proof. That was over the top and most unhitman like. It's kind of how I would imagine Kratos dealing with a situation, should he have been sucked arse first into a modern day scenario. And the music was s**t too. Bring back Jesper Kyd! This new Hitman looks more and more wank with each showing. Not happy
there was a gameplay dev trailer on this site about a month ago which showed full stealth gameplay, tons of enemies all looking for agent 47 in a library and he was sneaking all over the place. Looked just like hitman of old
Everyone on here today appears to be whining about one thing or another. Cheer the f**k up or STFU. It's getting like people can't read a story or watch a trailer without getting their panties in a bunch.

It's not even a gameplay trailer. Calm down.
Its Christmas - traditionally the most depressing time of year so that's why everyone is whinging
Anyway this game still remains on my watch list. If you notice from this, He is trying to get to the girl and probably as quick as possible through a lot of armed men. Time may not be something he has so sneaking around and waiting for guards to pass by may not be an option. He is still using duel wield 'silenced' pistols though.
Lets just see how it develops, how these clips fit into the context of the story and what the final game is like before slating it.
This are teh best gaem evar! I entirely agree with every decision the big companeis make. Who am I to question their treatment of an old series. If they make it closer to CoD, it'll be even better! CoD are teh best gaem of allll tiem!1

Better?
Exaggerating extremes. Nice.
It's a trailer. Not gameplay.
After the disaster that was the Kane and Lynch series IO needs to deliver a game that appeals to more than just long time Hitman fans like myself they will be shutdown.
This is obviously just a trailer, I don't think anyone claimed it to be anything more. All I was saying orignally was that the whole idea of the trailer wasn't in keeping with the idea of the series and as such was kind of concerning.

This is a forum, what did you expect, everyone to be agreeing with each other? Grow a pair and stop complaining you wimp. The trailer is the sort of thing associated with a hollywood film, not a stealth action game series. IO keep saying we can play the game stealthily the way it should be played, and when they're showing us s**t like this, what's the f**king point, it looks terrible and tells us NOTHING about the game other than it's being dumbed down for the 12 year old COD players.

Didn't the gameplay trailer the other week, have tons of stealth and seemed to play like old Hitman...and was it me or did it look really nice too, that engine is looking pretty smart if you ask me.
I assume that they need to make the trailers more kick ass...to entice people in, broaden the audience, as my understanding goes you can either be a stealth meister or open seven cans of hells worms on people....hmm seems kinda right doesnt it, let you be either way.
I think what people getting their knickers in a twist boils down to is immaturity...and not actually check everything out relating to the game before speaking, its a common knee jerk reaction on this site for some people...sometimes it makes me laugh sometimes I just think its a bit sad.
Played all the Hitmans think this looks great myself, if you not happy please feel free to transport back to the CPC 464 days and see how much you complain then....pfft

Speak for yourself and don't use that gameplay video as an example of the game's original stealth aspects being used today. The level was completely linear and funnelled you to the end. This may have been due to it being designed specifically to show of certain aspects but I guarantee you that level will remain the same in the final release.
The only choice there could have been for that gameplay video was 1. Sneaking through the area the exact way the video showed and 2. Arming yourself by taking down the exact same cop first because he's the only one you will probably reach to get a pistol without running to someone else like a bullet sponge. The level has patrolling guards who follow the same set path the developers designed, so this does not allow you to have many different sneaking routes, merely one sneaking route and one action route. Hardly the same choice the original games allowed. Either the developer could have stealthed his way to the end the exact same way every time (sneaking past the guard he took as a hostage would have been impossible due to 6 or 7 armed swat members facing the exit door).. before going the action route because it is forced, or he could have run around like an idiot soaking up bullets.
That first level pretty much showed exactly what IO meant when they said scripted short sandbox sections connected via checkpoints. That sentence alone pretty much shows how it can't offer the same freedoms the original games had. You just cannot have a more scripted movie like presentation whilst keeping the same levels of choice IO's last Hitman games offered. It might very well be an okay linear stealth game but compared to the first games it will pale in comparison. That's what you get for trying to broaden the customer base. I fully understand publishers want to sell more but that comes at the price of the love that used to go into games development.

As a long time fan of 47, "The Original Assassin" doesn't quite ring my bell seeing as he's voiced by someone else.

Bit underwhelmed to say the least. That was a glossy, colourful Hollywood action cliche trailer for a dark, stealth series.
