Hitman 3?

Following up on recent reports that a Hitman movie is possibly in the works (story), ScreenDaily (thanks Worthplaying) has another story up about future cinematic possibilities of IO Interactive's assassination series, which includes a tidbit about the next installment in the game series as well: ""IO Interactive is currently developing Hitman, 3 set for a spring 2004 release, but it is too soon to say when the film might be ready and if its release will coincide with the new game."

Now that planetside is out, Hitman is the game that gives me a big stiffy every time more info comes out. The only thing I didn't like about Hitman 2 was that it ended. It perfected everything that was great about the first Hitman. If this game is just more Hitman 2, I'll be satisfied completely, but I have hope it'll be even greater.

Can't wait.

I thought both Hitman games were fun.

However, the second one, while I didn't necessarily think
it was trying to emphasize guns over stealth, kinda forced
it on me.

I only have so much patience. Waiting to see which way
people move for 30 minutes or so is interesting for the
first half of the game, but by the end I stopped caring
about stealth and just mowed everyone down.

A better design decision would of been to make that VERY
difficult to do. I just couldn't get back into the stealth
thing towards the end of the game. Maybe they just made it
to easy to do.

Still, I'll definitely check out Hitman 3.

I'd suggest buddy from Transporter/Lock Stock/Snatch - Jason Statham. He'd be slick, and after seeing The Transporter, I know he could handle himself in a bruhaha (spelling?).

well I found hitman 2 to be basically perfect for my playing style. I mean you could play a level by only killing the target, or by killing everyone. each is fun in their own way =)

i downloaded the demo for hitman2, loaded up the game and set the controls to my standard control scheme of olk; (the lefty version of wsad) and started the level. first thing i did was hit the inventory button to check out what was there for me to play with only to come to find that the inventory navigation controls are hard coded to the default movement buttions so every time i wanted to swich weapons or anything i had to move my hand to another part of the keybord. granted that alone is not big deal but it is a sure sign of the type short sided programing mentality that takes a great concept and turns it into a mediocre game. i have a sneaking suspision that #3 as well as the movie will be of the same half hearted effort.

"The third edition of the game has a $43.3m (DKR300m) budget."

I sure hope that's a misprint. Most games don't even bring in near that much.

I must have been one of the only people who beat Hitman 2 with Silent Assasin all the way thru, cuz the ending clearly showed that a sequel would follow

Anyhow, loved Hitman 1, IMO Hitman 2 perfected it, if Hitman 3 is just more of Hitman 2, I would easily be satisfied. Only bad thing about Hitman 2 to me was that it ended.

In regards to the movie, tough casting call for Tobias. I think my picks would be Edward Norton, Colin Farrell, but I think J.K. Simmons would be perfect for it.

"Hitman Codename 47 and Hitman 2 - Silent Assassin sold 600,000 and 1.8 million copies respectively."

I wasn't aware Hitman 2 sold that much; no wonder they're making a movie.

Loved Hitman 1. I had trouble with Hitman 2, especially those pesky Ninjas. I wonder who the enemies will be now that every cultural group known to mankind will be offended if portrayed as the "baddies". Guess that means ol' Tobias Reiper is gonna kill alien robots this time around.

I thought Hitman 2 played better actually, but only on the highest difficulty setting, where stealth was a neccessity instead of a useless option.

I don't think it lacked style either. Some of the missions, like the one where you kill the fat guy in the hottub, were fairly complex.

...the first one had a number of problems, yet it was still received well and sold respectfully.

The second one improved a lot of things from the first game and received even better reviews and, I would presume, increased sales.

That is not to mention how it is a multi-platform title, earning even more money in the process.

Hitman = Money

Money = Happy IO

Happy IO = More Hitman

Hitman 1 was awesome, I loved it. But Hitman 2 just sucks so much. Hitman2 might as well not have a storyline its so poor. Your a freaking hitman not James Bond!!! Why does Hitman 2 encourage guns before stealth Mowing everyone down shouldn't be an option. It affects the gameplay, and it shouldn't have been designed that way. The first may have been bloody impossible to some, but the sense of achievement you get when you pull it of is unmatched. If you wanted the perfect hit you had to be perfect. simple. Hitman 2 is so easy and the missions are crap. None of the missions in H2 come close to Traditions of the Trade.

There was a genuine sense of character development in the original story which was helped by the excellent storyline and targets...
Compare the target personalities to the original Hitman..in the original u have like the dentist where you had to get hold of his bomb, only to find he could be having lunch, going for a swim (under the eyes of that huge female ttendant), enjoying the sauna or playing in the casino. And even when succeeding here, you had to kill his brother. All the time, you'd be under the eye of loads of guests, security guards, and a SWAT team waiting around just in case. So that only left getting out of the hotel with a large bomb in a case.

Or how about Lee Hong? Where if you decide to try and poison him when he's going for a meal, 9 times out of 10 his bodyguard will taste it first and then all hell broke loose. Then he'll run of to someplace else and his guards will be on full alert. All the targets in H2 seem a bit shallow. No ingame cutscenes sucked as well. They added loads to the sense of being a cool assassin where you got shown your assassination. You don't even get a frikkin Sniper case, how lame is that??

Hitman 2 is like Nolf 2 was to Nolf 1. Took away everything that was good and made it more mainstream (though unlike Hitman 2, I still love Nolf 2).
