I liken this chunk to BM's Death of a showman, albeit we are starting the level at the point where 47 has already taken down the three guards via the sniper, is outside and is on his way to kill Joseph Clarence and the mission ends where he kills the swing king.

Without playing the level in BM, it would be wrong to assume that the level is only that chunk above.

Like Habit said, there's no reason to assume that the snippet seen in the clip is all of the entire level. There may as well be things before it and after it. Unless the devs have said otherwise, at this point in time, we don't know.

alright, i understand you dont like Absolution
but i dont understand why

please explain why this is a train wreck, you could have a good reason as to why

and explain what your thoughts on Hope/KOCT as well

Don't ask or expect Hityutz to explain anything. He's just a troll with no weight behind his words.

[Friedmann Kaiser]

it's like watching a trainwreck...i'll be keeping my eye on how terrible this game is becoming.

Most obvious troll award goes to you!

I actually like RFYL. It's not a sandbox, but at least it has some classic Splinter Cell-style stealth. This level, on the other hand, seems much more straightforward.

Hmm.... I really have no response I guess if you prefer that one you prefer that one. I personally thought the orphanage looks like a cool level, and since this in only one checkpoint out of the level I feel like there is a lot more we aren't seeing.

It's entirely possible. I can't judge what I can't see, but the portion shown in the video here just isn't that interesting.

[MrPistolLaw]

Maybe this piece wasn't designed to "advertise" Hitman Absolution to the masses, but instead provide other people attending the CES 2012 show a brief glimpse of some technology and a little bit of what Hitman Absolution is about?

For myself, this sneak glimpse into this level is a treat.

I'll agree with you on that. This is why I compared it to the first checkpoint of rfyl. Both are merely portions of a level without a target. I personally think that rfyl is the latter half of a mission where a target has been killed and 47 is escaping. The orphanage is a mission showing off the first half of a mission leading up to an assassination

I am very eager to find out what will happen when you fake surrender and dont kill the cop. Will he arrest you. It would be cool when you could be arrested in a Level and can break out like in Splinter Cell Three. In one Mission where the opponents use taser they can arrest and interrogate you. After that you can crack the handcuff and pick up your Equipment to continue the Mission

That would be cool but i got a feeling it would just be like "Mission Failed" rather than letting you try to escape

Very long, very awkward silence as they stare at each other, not sure what to do next because it hasn't been programmed.

In seriousness, I think if you're caught in a restricted area, 'fake surrendering' will result in you being escorted out of the restricted area. If you're caught visibly armed or committing an act of violence, then more likely a mission failed screen.

I guess if you have a weapon, and have committed some violence, or the police or guards are actively trying to hunt you, then you would be disarmed, and taken to some prison or some other sort of enclosed area. In between, you could get a few chances to fight back and break away from them. Otherwise, if they took you up to the prison or enclosed area (police van), then you would get a cinematic of 47 being sent to jail, and the mission would fail. Just what I think.

Good point. I'm also kind of intrigued by that as well. The one thing I'm interested in finding out is if there is a possibility of enemies seeing through your fake surrender, where they would try to kill you.
