So glad this series is moving forward. I picked them up during the awesome Steam holiday sale and it took me back to some good times. I always liked that you could take different routes and methods to completing your objectives, and they should be able to expand on that tenfold now with huge maps and a bunch of different ways to doing a mission. There's lots of room for the developers to play around and do some cool new things with the franchise. They should add a Bioware-like dialogue wheel for when you are in disguise, for example.

@Uncle Jesse Don't get excited just yet. These days development studios are not predictable when it comes to "moving forward".

As much as I love Hitman, I can see them turning this into either something closer to Splinter Cell or something closer to Assassin's Creed. I just don't know anymore, but I do want to like it.

@HardBoiled2009

No more HD-fied packs, please. I'd rather them focus their efforts on making a solid new product.

Besides, Blood Money is from this generation, so that's pointless.

@ItsameMatt03 The games are ported over by external studios, with minor oversight from the original developers if any at all.

yea what Epoque said ... or the Devs could wait till they are done with the new hitman game. then go do that.. but it's mainly external studios.

Also i for one am in favor of the HD Fied Releases and the biggest reason is i can buy the games i missed out on from the PS2 days

( Sly Collection Soon to be ICO * tho i have it on PS2 * and SOTC, then we have the upcoming Splinter cell which i have on xbox ** tho i never touched the 3rd one or 4th one but i will re buy the 4th one for the PS3 ** and then their's the splinter cell series ( which i know people said wasn't good remake ) but i don't care cause it rather own them then not own them .. and i will not buy them used on ebay or try looking for them online )

So long as they've moved this series forwards some. I've always picked up the Hitman series but they've never quite felt as though they've lived up to potential.

Hopefully they've picked up some tips from Assassins Creed (blending into crowds, not leaping face stabs) in the interim

I prefer Hitman's costume based stealth to the Assassin's Creed model.

@iHavePants - Oh I wouldn't want them to do away with the costume system; just that I would like if there's a bit more than that.

I have to say that it feels slightly conspicuous when you're trying to get the timing of a guard's pattern and you're standing in a corner with nothing else to do. Being able to blend in to the environment (whether it be in a crowd or by yourself with a newspaper for cliche) would add to that part of the game

Great series ... love these games, but the new title really has to bring more to the table than updated graphics. The formula is being to wear thin.

And people always wonder why I save my old guitar strings...

Finally another thing to fill the void only things like Dexter and Hitman can fix.

Oh the sweet, sweet art of murder. *picks up two pieces of wood and a .52 guitarstring, pure nickel*
Now let´s tune this to E...*puts on sunglasses*
around someones neck!
YEEEEEAAAAHHHH!
