It's all good.

Okay -- I'm down with not hurling insults at anyone. However, I probably won't even be coming back to this forum if David Bateson is really gone.

I have little need to rehash old games -- because I've already gone through each of them about a bajillion times. So, if Bateson really won't be back, then I won't even go to freakin' YouTube to look at the latest trailers and videos of the game.

I don't care much for "reboots." I didn't go to the new Star Trek movie, won't bother with the next Spiderman, and didn't like The Dark Knight. If someone isn't dead, don't fire him.

Thanks.

See, now this is an example of how not to post.

1. It doesn't bring anything to the table, other than you're upset. By the time a child is three we expect them to communicate more clearly and provide more information than this.
2. It signals you are not interested in discussion or taking on new information yourself, only in having a tantrum to try to get your way.
3. It condition people to pretty much disregard all your posts as they're clearly written only for yourself.

If you want to post like this, there are many free blogging services you can use.

Too many people in here seem to have this opinion. They could just reskin Batman AA (I'm seriously scared they've done this) and they'd happily buy it.

That seems unlikely as:

1. Does not have a cape to glide with
2. No information on 47 having acrobatic fighitng techniques
3. Hitman games have always had multiple locales, Arkham Asylumn had one
4. The HUD interface in the trailer was significantly differently to that in Arkham Asylumn
5. Hitman: Absolution has made a point of extensive use of shooting, Batman just punches people
6. Arkham Asylumn was heavily marketed on the colourful characters in it, Absolution only has two recognizable characters to date: 47 and Diana

This is why statements like this are likely to be disregarded.

Probably not the best of threads to get into this but I can actually see where he was goin' with that, but definitely not all the way in thinking they'd just re-sking batman. But the first thing I thought about when I saw 47 going in and taking down all the guards in diana's house in the trailer with unarmed martial arts perfection was Batman AA. The instict mode sounds similar too, but it's kind of a vague power/ability/game mechanic so meh.

You could also say the demonstration of a series of stealth kills made it like Tenchu

47 hitting people and the ability to see through walls through an ability does not make it a clone of Arkham Asylumn. It's pretty obvious under any amount of observation.

Compare these two statements:

"Absolution looks like a total Arkham Asylumn clone! I will not buy it."

"I don't think I'm interested in another game where I hunt henchmen by following thier movements through walls. I'm also concerned that the new game will be too action orientated."

One grossly exagerates things to the extent it makes you wonder if you came to the conclusion yourself or you just saw someone else mention AA and decided to hump on the band wagon. The other expresses your concerns.

Which do you think is better communication?

[Sketch]

I'm not sure I want to know what humping the bandwagon is.

I can't remember if it was the zombie easter egg or the shoot the circle see half naked dancing guys easter egg but no one had found it before some guy posted it here on his first post. Was it ever established if that was a employee?

The fact is we all have opinions on how this game may or may not go. Good and bad. Even though its too early. However the fact mods on this forum were given early access to things and that we see posts on here from employees show that they do give a shit about the long term fans. This is a new game and they want to reach a new audience GOOD! I cant belive how many 'hardcore gamers' I met who have not played any of them. Lets not start lynching people over a 10 second clip a year or two before the game comes out

The Official Hitman Absolution Game
The Hitman games doesn't dipend of the people ho buy the game, but from the markets ho buy it from the IO. Yes. Lets say 1.000.000 people buy it. This just means 1.000.000 markets just buyit first and they are reseal it. So if you buy the game or not. The Hitman sale goes good any way

It's a copy from Facebook. I even have a printscreen of the conversation.

this is really difficult to read. are you claiming that "The Offical Hitman Absolution Game" whoever that is, is in any way related to io?

i refuse to believe that. the massive spelling mistakes alone, the non-sense and badly structured sentences are not from io. no one with that bad a vocabulary would be in a position to speak on behalf of us.

there is a lot of non-sense being said on this board, but this has to be some of the worst

There's no way IO would allow someone with such a poor grasp of the English language to operate their official Facebook page.

[Symbiote]

What point? Some guy who isn't an IO employee tells you, in his own way, that 'they' don't care about 'the fans' because they can still have good sales figures whether they cater to us or not.

Is your point that a statement made by someone not connected to IOI is an admission of guilt from the developers?

I am out of this forum.

Good thing.



Anyways, Having an IOI guy responding to a post so fast on a unofficial forum shows that they actually do care a little about fans. (say that in one row and you'll be out of breath lol)

[Sean Rubin]

I suggest Paris Hilton voicing 47

At this point, she would probably do a much better job at it than the new guy.
