"Ahahaha noooo ehhhhhhh wahhhhhhhh nooohhh uhhhhhh" I think I can confidently say I can skip this game for good Why do they even bother calling it "Tomb Raider"??? >_ Currently installing the TR 1+2+3 package from GOG. Probably the best one can hope for in a foreseeable future. “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

funcroc Posted June 1, 2012 Posted June 1, 2012 (It looks like a worthy successor to Blood Money. Really great.)
Malcador Posted June 1, 2012 Posted June 1, 2012 Ah, much better from IO in terms of promotional stuff, heh. Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra
C2B Posted June 1, 2012 Posted June 1, 2012 (edited) Considering the difference seen here between the game and the promotional material we should also give TR the benefit of the doubt. SQE seems to have some very markety marketing at the moment. Edited June 1, 2012 by C2B
C2B Posted June 1, 2012 Posted June 1, 2012 http://www.computerandvideogames.com/349919/previews/hitman-absolution-hands-on-with-the-nun-free-e3-demo/?page=2#top_banner And that was just one level. One level that, thanks to extraordinary freedom, complex set-ups and fish-based kills, could last hours. And that's forgetting collectible security tapes and goals encouraging re-runs (the Chameleon challenge, for instance, rewards wardrobe changes with points, but IO aren't yet saying what they're for). In true Hitman fashion, each scenario, from hotel to orphanage to small mountain town, welcomes both tiptoeing agents and AK-wielding maniacs. Equal parts devious and ingenious, this is not only Hitman, but the best Hitman. Make no mistake: Absolution looks absolutely bloody brilliant.
greylord Posted June 1, 2012 Posted June 1, 2012 I want to go in shooting and see if I can take everyone out now that they mention it...in game of course.
entrerix Posted June 1, 2012 Posted June 1, 2012 a few comments (some responses to old thread): yes new tomb raider looks like uwe boll's Deliverance the original star wars DID have a "dirty" feel to it. Mos Eisley anyone? the original dark forces will still be better than 1313. kyle katarn will not be outdone i played hitman silent assassin back on the ps2, i LOVED that game. I'd really like to play a shiny new high quality hitman game I'm really excited for the sequel to Castlevania Lords of Shadow, that game was actually pretty damn good, and I imagine the sequel will be even more aligned in tone with traditional Castlevania games. I'll probably be buying this on day 1. Killing is kind of like playin' a basketball game. I am there. and the other player is there. and it's just the two of us. and I put the other player's body in my van. and I am the winner. - Nice Pete.

Volourn Posted June 1, 2012 Posted June 1, 2012 (edited) Announced settlement between ACTI and the Dynamic Duo... My thoughts: So... Activision has admitted to knowing they were in the wrong and are now paying off their enemies as they don't want their CRIMINAL behaviour to become official public knowledge. And, the greed of the duo shows up as they don't want to fight the good fight despite all their big talk. Edited June 1, 2012 by Volourn 1 DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
sorophx Posted June 1, 2012 Posted June 1, 2012 Warner Brothers was the first thing to throw me off balance. only then I actually bothered to read the video title. shame on you D: 1 Walsingham said: I was struggling to understand ths until I noticed you are from Finland. And having been educated solely by mkreku in this respect I am convinced that Finland essentially IS the wh40k universe.
GhostofAnakin Posted June 1, 2012 Posted June 1, 2012 Every time I see a Hitman game (or any game that requires stealth), I get excited and end up buying it, but then quickly get frustrated because I suck at stealth, and often times the majority of the game requires missions to be tackled that way or you fail.

Guest Slinky Posted June 1, 2012 Posted June 1, 2012 i played hitman silent assassin back on the ps2, i LOVED that game. I'd really like to play a shiny new high quality hitman game If you liked Silent Assassin, you really should try Blood Money. I too loved SA but BM is the best Hitman game to date. Looking forward for Absolution, it first seemed like some shooter but that E3 walkthrough made it pretty clear it's still the Hitman I like.

I like the hits from Contracts the best, the level design from SA, but Blood Money feels like the most well rounded. Although the clown level was a bit too strange for my tastes. I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"* *If you can't tell, it's you.
Azdeus Posted June 2, 2012 Posted June 2, 2012 Tomb Raider trailer. "Ahahaha noooo ehhhhhhh wahhhhhhhh nooohhh uhhhhhh" I think I can confidently say I can skip this game for good Why do they even bother calling it "Tomb Raider"??? That was awkward to watch, and I can't imagine watching the game-play itself will be much more entertaining. And what's up with the fricking Captain Obvious commentary? Why the **** does'nt she just shut the **** up?! Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L. Mencken

I generally look to mechanics before graphics, now the Hitman series has been pretty consistent with theirs. Basically the same inventory, similar tactics across the games, and crappy AI.

entrerix Posted June 2, 2012 Posted June 2, 2012 I don't know why I never tried blood money, I'll have to give it a go when I finally get bored with diablo 3 Killing is kind of like playin' a basketball game.

Currently installing the TR 1+2+3 package from GOG. Probably the best one can hope for in a foreseeable future. So, to appeal to the PC (politically correct, in this instance) crowd, they toned down the overt sexuality and upped the torture porn aspect? WTG. Also, can't remember the last E3 when there was absolutely nothing I was looking forward to learning more about. Edited June 4, 2012 by Nepenthe 1 You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep.
