This could just be the vestiges of E3's ghost creating a bad demo, but I was pretty unimpressed by this. If Hitman allowed you to be as freeform as Crysis, this demo looked like Crysis 2, highlighting all the specific options that they crafted for you to use, and there are only maybe three of them rather than allowing you to get creative and come up with your own answers to things. But that's only based on what they showed. Then, regardless of the quality of the game, I still don't trust IO Interactive after the online shenanigans they pulled in those last Hitman games. But hey, I figured I'd share this reveal here, as it is in fact video game news.
Nothing is more exciting in a gameplay reveal than starting with 5 minutes of slowly driving a car.
But really this looks like Hitman trying to be Uncharted. It's not necessarily a bad thing but it does look too similar to their last games, just with more scripted action sequences.
