GAMING NEWSHow Hitman: Absolution Will Tell 47's StoryPosted on Wednesday, October 10 @ 11:04:48 Eastern by Daniel Bischoff
I don't know about you, but I couldn't really give a shit about Agent 47's back story. Aliens, clones, alien clones? I can't keep up! There probably aren't any aliens in the games, but for all I know, there could be! IO Interactive wants to change this attitude in Hitman: Absolution and they're aiming to do so with more cinematic flair, tons of cutscenes, hollywood actors, and highly technical motion capture equipment. Game Director Tore Blystad says in the trailer above that "in a game like Hitman where there is so much gameplay, there's so much within the game mechanics to challenge the players, the cutscenes become a break between those challenging gameplay moments." I don't think IO has any trouble creating interesting, funny, or involving characters. It seems like nothing is sacred when it comes to NPCs, so I'm interested in seeing the way Agent 47 weaves his way through the total lack of sanity around him. Hitman: Absolution is coming to Xbox 360, PS3, and PC on November 20th. Square Enix is offering up a free game download, the Hitman Sniper Challenge, to anyone willing to preorder ahead of that release date. More from the Game Revolution Network Comments

And given that Io's last game was the shittiest pile of trash I've played in years, there's not a snowball's chance in hell I'll preorder. They can keep their Sniper Challenge. I want cold, hard evidence that Io is no longer staffed by rhesus monkeys.

I'm still excited about this title, if only for Contracts mode where you play through a level in a totally free-form setup and shape the objectives other players will have to complete when they run through your Contract.

Its only redeeming quality was its mercifully short length.
