MULTI Rumor: New Hitman coming - getting a reboot

[Soulhunter]

MPORTANT NOTE: This comes from a sketchier source than I normally like to use, namely, a user blog from GameReactor. I decided to check around TinEye, a bunch of other sites, and the official Eidos channels, and none of them have deemed it fake yet despite it being out for a while. Also, this sounds enough like other franchise reboots that, when combined with the quality of the rumored promotional poster, I thought it was believable enough to be worth posting.




I talked with an old high school friend over the weekend. He currently lives in Denmark and is a freelancer in the gaming side Eurogamer.dk. In a few weeks, he wrote cryptic messages and teasers to me. Yesterday, I finally know what it was about: Hitman 5. Or just hitman, the game apparently will be called.

Eurogamer comes during the month of December to do an exclusive revelation of the game, but you loved Clint is here to deliver the good news for a month in advance. Because I love you. And the hitman. As only the. Here are the summarized candy:

• Reboot the entire series and Agent 47
• Agent 47 now has stubble!
• Strong focus on story
• 47's "assignments" are open missions [like] in previous games
• The game also contains elements [when] 47 [is not] on assignments. These parts are more linear and are firearm-focused, cover, etc.
• The game is developed parallel to the other hitman movie
• You will get to play as more than 47 during the game, including a female assassin
• David Bateson borrow again the voice of 47

New Agent 47 doesn't look good. I don't mind a reboot... as long as it doesn't take the SC: Conviction route.

this could be really awesome!! the previous games tried to do too much with limited processing power. would love a truly sandbox hitman game with SOME AI !

That's one fugly Agent 47 . Doesn't look cool

Ditto. Hitman didn't have a solid base and had too many loopholes in the main story. But that didn't stop it from becoming one of my all-time favourite game

Edit: Wait. That doesn't look like a silverballer he's holding <_<

Kinda looks like some average thug doesn't have that style of the orginal.

AI was wonky at time but nothing game breaking. As for the sandbox... the game gave you plenty of options to go through a mission, entirely stealth or guns blazing with multiple paths if you explore enough. Loved the mission variety and the design of the environments.

They should have made something mature out of that agent. This agent looks like a teenage wanker.

 

[HOTSHOT]

first capcom rebooted dmc franchise with new looks of a new character and now lo interactive? who's next?

 

[Raptorian]

A reboot? Why? Origin story all over again? Atleast, IO is back to making Hitman instead to wasting time on K&L and Mini Ninjas.

 

[Ranger Taffles]

^ Yea. IO should not be too serious with K&L. Their focus must be better here.

HITMAN 5 OH MY GOD! I have waited so long for this, please be true!
And the new Agent is a total No-no-no-no-no-no-no ... no!

 

[FARSANG]

hitman 2 was best of all,rest were not that good.it will be nice that they put some efforts in this series and bring out something worthwhile.

 

[Shyber]

What's with the new character design trends, eh?
Max Payne into a hobo, Dante an emo and Agent 47 a homo?

Other than that, another Hitman would be epic.

 

[FARSANG]

"The game is developed parallel to the other hitman movie"

i think they redesigned the Hitman character to match the face of hero working in the movie.

 

[cobby]

aaaaaaa man they should stick with what they had

Hitman 5 Rumours Denied by iO Interactive

Following a recent spate of rumours concerning the highly-anticipated fifth instalment in the Hitman franchise, series developers iO Interactive have today denied that there is any truth to the gossip. Directly in the firing-line is some recent artwork, which had surfaced last week and taken as genuine confirmation that a fifth Hitman game is in the works. Not so, according to iO Interactive.

“The recent 'leak' of artwork for a new Hitman game is fake.” Stated a representative of iO Interactive on the developer’s official Twitter feed. “47 doesn't have a beard, dude.”

Homoboemos! lol

Ahh so its fake. Thank God

Good thing: We won't be seeing that shitty Agent 47.
Bad thing: Now that it's denied, will we ever see Agent 47 again?
