A lot of new details regarding IO Interactive’s latest Hitman title have emerged. What’s more, we also have the first screenshots from the game for you below.
Here’s the dope on Hitman: Absolution:
• 47 is more agile and easier to control, he’ll be able to grab on ledges and balance around edges.
• The game will feature an integrated cover system integrated, human shields will also be making a return.
• Hiding in dark corners makes 47 invisible to suspecting enemies.
• Silent Assassin rating can be achieved by killing targets only, optimally the cause of the death should be accident.
• The game will have a film-noir flair to it.
• Dynamic music, expect it to keep changing everytime you play a level.
• Environmental objects can be used to dispatch enemies; Good examples are: strangulation with electrical cords, the good old chandelier and even a Bong.
• Glacier-2 engine returns once again, using a crowd system to showcase dozens of people on screen.
• Detailed graphics, fantastic lighting, fluid indoor/outdoor transitions will be on offer.
For casual gamers, there is also an “Instinct” mode which can be turned off on higher difficulties.
Advantages the “Instinct” mode will bring:
• X-Ray vision
• Orange glow highlights position and routes of nearby NPC’s
• Highlights usable objects and special actions
• Enhances certain abilities (for example makes it harder for enemies to see through disguises)
• Using Instinct costs energy that can be replenished by performing “Hitman” actions like stealth killing foes.
