I hope the changes are for better. And if they make it sandbox... it could be epic! they just should do it right. Sandbox games are easy to screw up, thats why more care should be taken. :D

Yup...lets not forget Just Cause 2, an epic fail by Square Enix.

^^
the thing that surprised me was that they did not learned from their mistakes. Just Cause had worst driving and it didn't change in the second.

^^ May be Square Enix wants to show us the result of drunken driving (Issued in public interest by Square Enix).

At-least this agent should have some hair on his head. That can add more interest in the game.

No giving him hair would be horrible. That would take away his personality. I just want him to more like human and not alien and he should be ruthless and cruel by the look like he doesn't care about anything at all apart from his job.

Have a lot of fond memories attached with the series. I had been waiting for the next Hitman for ages! The Urban Legend is Back. woot!

But i am disappointed, to say the least, after seeing the E3 trailer.

Probably Square enix's effect.
Press X to perform assassination?

it is more like - Press X to butcher every person in sight in a fighting style copied off some Bourne film. C'mon, where is the silent assassin.

Another theory - perhaps the woman is Diana, and Hitman has come back to re-unite with her. But why killing the guards then?

BloodMoney was the best stealth game i played now Absolution will be enjoyed more in HD graphics
Ever cared to try Splinter Cell series??? One of the best Stealth game although Stealth in that game is completely different but if you like Stealth game then you should also try that. :)

IGN reveals the Gameplay footage:

My eyes are bleeding by the amount of screen tearing present in that video. Visuals seem to have gone through a massive over-haul. Lighting effects are amazing. I can't really comment about the gameplay as there is very less footage to play around with.

The gameplay looks amazing! Creepier face though, which is good but his face just needs to be a little wider.

New details released:

* Game is primarily set in Chicago
* Begins with Agent 47 on the run from the Chicago police
* IO’s Glacier 2 engine supposedly offer fantastic facial animations
* Use of cover mechanics.
* Bigger focus on staying hidden, rather than staying in disguise (sounds a lot like Splinter Cell: Conviction so far)
* Instinct mode highlights enemies and their patrols through walls, like Arkham Asylum’s detective mode.
* It’s powered by silent take downs
* No big scale map screen as in previous games.
* Mini map still highlights points of interest
* New threat meter is a grey circle that wavers in directions where enemies may spot 47 (again as in Conviction)
* There will be lots of improvised weapons players can use that are unique to each location
* Players can take hostages as human shields as in previous games
* This hostage taking prompted some complex AI patterns in the demo, with cops fanning out realistically to keep sight of the target.
* Levels will be divided into checkpoints for the first time.
* Some stages will be as large as in old Hitman games, others will be much smaller
* New structure allows for greater variety and complex set pieces, as well as story driven moments
* Having a disguise doesn’t mean you’ll be able to fool everybody
* Plot will be more personal to 47, with the Hitman knowing some of his targets.
* 47 and Diana will have new voice actors
* Hand to hand combat will be involved.
* Instinct mode increases disguise effectiveness. As cops in the demo questions 47′s movements while he’s disguised as a police man, he enters instinct and uses his police radio to fool them
* Each disguise has safe spots, like a box of doughnuts for police men.
* You’ll be completely safe in that disguise for as long as you want
* New engine offers on the fly editing for AI. AI can also affect group behavior now.
* Whatever you do, the AI will react to that dynamically
* The way crowds will be used will be different

Hmm...Sounds to me more like Splinter series with some modifications. Story will play big role in this one and if story has nothing then this game is would be nothing unless it copies things from other games real nicely which most games fail to do.

i think the AI will have a greater effect on the gameplay...will be highly immersive and intense....can't wait for this on:)
