How do you conduct these interviews? Are they phone interview transcripts or emails? How does it work?

Goddamn, I'm horny for this game.

I came to the Hitman series with Silent Assassin (number 2) and fell in love; the multiplicity with which you could achieve objectives, the inventiveness of using the surrounding environment to make the hits, and the general level design was all stellar. The plot wasn't fantastic, but that wasn't so much of an issue.
I replayed levels so many times to achieve Silent Assassin while amassing my armoury in the gardening shed of the church, it was quite satisfying to see all of the empty spaces get filled over time... it was tough work though.

I tried to play Hitman 1 but it's legendary poor control system and lack of finesse, as well as a host of cruddy maps (jungle portion) in the middle of the game, meant that I never finished it.

Contracts was a supreme disappointment - shoddy design, more limited gameplay, quite a few game-killing bugs and not enough of focus on providing a unique experience meant that it was a poor follow up to Silent Assassin.

The fact that it's a new engine, plus big motivators like the Notoriety system, make this sound like a new kind of beast - and that's just all kinds of hot.

Shack: Let's say I choose to go absolutely gun crazy during a certain level. How can I prevent dozens of citizens (and targets) from recognizing me in successive missions?

Rasmus: By killing them! The more violent you play, the more you would probably need to take care of business. Violence breeds violence in Blood Money.


Hahahaha... Hitman 1 and 2 had some of my best, most memorable gaming moments. I can't wait!

I love how they are Tomb Raider'ing this series. It might as well be called:

Hitman: Milk Money

I loved the first Hitman -- it was near perfect were it not for the hellish controls. However, every Hitman since the first has been less capable of making me really feel like a hitman.

I suppose its a push for less simulation and more point-and-click action for the console-kiddies.

I'm afraid to say how hot this game looks for fear of being thought a shill account.

I am so hot for this game. The Hitman series has always been one of my favorites. I even loved Contracts. In fact, I don't see what people see wrong with that one besides some of the rehashed levels.

Time to reinstall Hitman 2. I had a ton of fun playing it the first time around, but I never finished it.

After reading this interview, I understand what a travesty it is that I have never played any of the Hitman games. I'd like to give them all a go, starting with the first one. Does anyone know where I could nab a copy of the first three games for relatively cheap?

Every dude in these screenshots is totally buff and the one chick he's holding is a porker. :(
