    Me too. Though I don't think that Square Enix has the first clue what makes a good Hitman game. If I had to bet money, I'd say this is going to be more like Absolution than Blood Money. We'll see, I guess.

        Great to hear. Blood Money and Silent Assassin are two of my favorite games of all time and have been itching for another game like it.

    Me too but they never seem to get the series just right, despite the premise being perfect for a game

  I'm honestly surprised this got made considering how badly the last one missed the mark. Here's hoping they remember that the best Hitman is non-linear Hitman.

    Much larger even more open sandboxes than previously for sure, as we've already promised in a fan letter a year ago. It's full on old school hardcore hitman.
