The new Hitman, looks totally sweet.
The demo is available there, and on filefront. It contains the first level, which is sort of a training level.
Big differences in store;
This game takes place in America, instead of various former nations like previous games. Someone is taking out ICA operatives and personel, so 47 sets up shop in America.
Controls are pretty weird at first. Instead of E being a HUGE scroll through to do anything action-wise, there is like a three key layout sorta thing. I can't really explain, but you get used to it.
Instead of being totally useless when you're unarmed, you can now headbut people in the face and disarm them. Then, if you so choose, you can whip them around and use them as a human shield. You can only knock them out after you're done using them. But you can always plug them in the face after they hit the floor.
You can also push people, and punch people. I pushed this one dude down the steps, and another off of a balcony. I also used a syringe to poison this girl's drink. You can hide in closets, and hide bodies in containers.
This game has a notoriety system, and instead of displaying bland stats at the end of a mission, you are treated with a little newspaper article detailing all of your suck or awesome. Depends on how you play.
If you're going to be a mass murdering ****, your notoriety goes up and newspapers will begin to churn out more and more in the way of an identifiable portrait. Apparently enemies will begin to react, making the life of an assassin a little difficult.
No more awards, instead for being super stealthy you make more money to afford better equipment and upgraded weapons.
If you screw up, apparently you're able to clean up the crime scene a little. Erase CCTV tapes, dispose of bodies, etc.
Over all, it was enough for me to pre-order the game. I don't usualy pre-order games.
