Hitman 2 Q&A

Gamespot UK has posted a Q&A with Jacob Andersen, lead designer on Hitman 2. Of course the most important question is about quick saving, and it looks like they still want to do something silly like limit the amount of saves. Other questions are about what Hitman has been up to since the first game, the game's perspective (different for PC/Xbox/PS2), the music, and more. Thanks Blues.

GSUK: Can you give us any example of any of Codename 47's new homicidal methods? JA: How about an interesting scene where he dresses up as a surgeon to make sure a heart operation on a mafia boss goes wrong? This time we decided to focus on the need to make killings as precise as possible without damaging innocent civilians or being caught. ...
The interview also comes with 5 images from the game, though they are all concept art.

    This game will rock if Eidos doesn't push it out the door before it is finished.

    Having a save or two in the middle of long missions might be nice. Restarting the final jungle mission 15 times because you stepped on a tree branch is not fun.

    #14, One could repeat your arguement for most FPS games. "Ok, I'm going to save before I go rocketjump/rail combo this guy around the corner. Ok I did it! Time for a quick save." Ehhh. The problem with quick saving in the original is because there wasn't enough content to last but 5 hours of gameplay. gg Eidos.

    #10, Depends on how bad Eidos fucks it up. They're a bunch of baffoons. I'll say it *could* own, as long as IO is left to do their job. Hitman 1 could've been GOTY for 2001 if it wasn't pushed out the door for holidy '00.
