I remember how I was hiding behind walls in Hitman 2, shooting everything that walks around. :>

Yeah, I always felt that the second one actually allowed for more playstyles than the others. I'd sneak through some ("as intended") and then just go ballistic in some... usually the first? Sicily mission.

Ah, the war against the ninjas. 47 sucks with a katana, too.

Oh the memories of when everything went **** up in the whitehouse when playing Blood Money.....

Yeah, I got tired of trying to sneak through security and just went ballistic. Planting a bomb next to the car also worked.

I treasure the first time I managed Silent Assassin on that level..

So very disappointing.

This did sound pretty awesome though haahaha

 

But playing other people’s contracts is fun: some are very straightforward, but already people are adding entertaining twists. The last one I played insisted that I run into a town dressed in full samurai armour and kill a particular cop with a sledgehammer. Players will probably come up with sillier contract concepts once the game is out.

So very disappointing.

 

I didn't know how badly a Hitman game could be made before I read this. It sounds like even the first game is better than this.

I'll find out soon enough when it finishes DL.

 

To me it sounds like another example of story and cinematic presentation(never the purpose of Hitman) taking precedence over gameplay.

Wait, you can't walk around in the levels disguised? That is the best part of the game!

Interesting collection of texts.

A real gem is Ueda's "Game Design Methods of Ico" presentation at the end of the page.

Not much news related, but made me smile If you are good with console controllers you may have good enough hand-eye coordination, that you are apparently a perfect candidate to become perfect surgeon in operating robotic surgery tools

All you need is to spend 2 hours a day with gaming

So it turns out Mirror's Edge 2 is in development, this makes me happy.

[Rosbjerg]

Interesting, I hope they stick to the formula instead of adding unnecessary filler.

[Gorgon]

Anyone tried Hitman Absolution yet.

[Gorgon]

Mechwarrior online is out

And there's another source engine mechwarrior project close(ish) to being finished. Forget the name.

 

If you are starting to feel that every game feels like the last one, same polish, same built for console interface, this might be for you.

[Oner]

It's "only" open beta, but yeah, playable.

[Mamoulian War]

Interesting, I hope they stick to the formula instead of adding unnecessary filler.

 

Or they make it "accessible" for broader audience

Since a while already. I am in the beta since founders packs were available and I have to say, I get more and more angry with every patch. They delay everything all the time (which wouldn't be so much a problem) and when the next patch is released, they nearly fixed nothing from the old bugs. Since 2 months already the game performance gets worse and worse and they still didn't fix the memory bug that a lot people are experiencing. I don't want to restart my client after every 3rd game, especially when playing in a real group, etc. It just annoys the hell and fun out of me.

Now there's processor leak too.

Dishonored is half price at GMG, you can then add another 25% off that with the voucher code they have on site, which brings it to $22.50.
