Hitman 5 – All Characters Will Be Distinct From Others

February 3rd, 2012 | Posted by hitman in News - (0 Comments)

It has been revealed by IO Interactive that the new Hitman Absolution game will feature individual personalities, names, and identities for every single character. This will result in over 2,000 pages of scripts and dialogue.

This means that every bystander, guard and enemy in the game will be completely unique. So there should be no more need to listen to the same lines over and over again, like in other games.

This will also differ to previous Hitman games where some missions had crowds of anonymous people milling about. Characters in the new Hitman 5 will also be more talkative.

The director, Tor Blystad has said that the final content will depend on how much they can pack into the game, due to the limitations of memory and logistics. But they will put in as much as possible, and have fully prepared for it. “We have a script of 2000 pages for the AI alone. It’s huge.”

Hitman 5 will be released sometime in 2012, though there is still no concrete date.

Hitman 5 New Screenshots Released

January 26th, 2012 | Posted by hitman in News - (0 Comments)

Some new screenshots have emerged for the upcoming Hitman game. The graphics look superb, and Agent 47 looks pretty badass as usual.

The screenshots seem to show him dressed as a clergy with the full collar. One of his disguises no doubt.

An axe is not just for choppng wood

An elbow to the face is a great problem solver

Always important to hide the dead body

The priest did it

Burn baby, burn

Body shot with shotgun. Feels good man

Sneaking and peeking round corner

Time for some S&M hanky panky

Co-op Unlikely To Happen In Hitman 5

January 26th, 2012 | Posted by hitman in News - (0 Comments)

IO Interactive, the developers of Hitman Absolution, had considered making co-op part of the upcoming Hitman game, but according to the game director, Tore Blystad, it just “never felt right”.

We can see how this may be the case. Agent 47 is a lone assassin, he does not need help. In fact, it would be strange to have this silent, mysterious, and brooding killer working with anyone else on a hit.

Blystad has said, “Agent 47 is a loner and we have never found a way to give him a partner, because to be honest, he doesn’t need one.” We wholeheartedly agree.
