IO have just released a new Behind The Scenes video, this time we take a look at Hitman Sniper Challenge.




Enjoy

47 in a Chinatown-like level. Holy shit yes.

It's good to know that the Sniper Challenge is an incentive to preorder, which will not be available if you get it after. There's obviously a rich amount of re-playability. Can't wait for it to arrive on PC.

Great idea behind the Sniper Challenge.

Love the theme composition/melody, too.

I like that at 1:26 and 1:55 and few other parts you can see gamplay behind the dev. looks like the Chinatown mission from before, nothing really new, but still cool, I like that they do that on purpose.

There's a girl who just stands behind 47. Maybe it's just a random crowd bot but she also might be Victoria for exampel that 47 must lead through the level to safety

wow that would be awesome!

I like 47's idle animations if the player doesn't do anything. He starts wiping dust off his suit, fixes his shoes.. just like he used to do in Codename 47.

I hope not... I really want to be able to play a level like that at my own pace without so much dead weight.

[Agrafagr]

you are right

[Barboku]

I hope the sniper challenge is not the only time in the game when 47 holds a snipe.

[Eraser]

Loving it. It's like a film experience with seeing the all you wonder development people.

I hope the sniper challenge is not the only time in the game when 47 holds a snipe.

From the early Q&A with Nick:

Will there be missions large enough for using a sniper Rifle like previous Hitman installments?
I think it’s safe to say that the sniper rifle will be making a lovely comeback.

Given the large number of upgrades that will carry over from SC into Absolution it's pretty clear the sniper could play a substantial role in the game, if it's your weapon of choice.

[[Agent_47]]

Do we think the W2000 Rifle will make a comeback? or do we reckon the Kazo has replaced it?

Its good to think that even before I start playing the game ill have a good selection of weapons, the Kazo and the weapons from the professional edition
