Game Director of Hitman: Absolution, Tore Blystad, invites you to enter the gritty world of Agent 47 as he (alongside Gameplay Director Christian Elverdam) shows off 17 minutes of gameplay from the ‘Run For Your Life’ playthrough:
Learn first-hand what it takes to create a living and breathing world, gain new insight into the creation and ambition for the game and get a taste of what players can expect when they enter the mindset of the original assassin: Agent 47.
Finding himself without weapons, the dangerous assassin Agent 47 must navigate his way through an abandoned Chicago library while the police conduct a thorough search of the premises. You can view the commentary below.
What do you make of the new instinct feature? The gentlemen talking mention it was added to give the player an advantage over incredibly intelligent AI, but I wonder how much of this demonstration is scripted, and how representative it is of actual NPC AI in the game. The decision to try to eliminate trial-and-error gameplay is a good one in my books, however. Make sure to let us know what you think of this in the comments.
This fifth entry in the popular stealth series is scheduled for a 2012 release.
