Hitman's Agent 47 has a new handler, Benjamin Travis
A new video promoting Hitman: Absolution released today which introduces the new character of Benjamin Travis, who becomes Agent 47's handler in the International Contract Agency, the secret espionage group always at the center of all the action. Travis replaces series regular Diana Burnwood who, based on information in this trailer, has had a kill order issued against her by the Agency, which I would guess has something to do with all of her double-dealings in Hitman: Blood Money. Something tells me Travis isn't going to wind up being a very good guy. Maybe it has something to do with the psych evaluations flashing past in the video which suggest he might be a little unstable and that, sometime prior to becoming 47's handler, stopped being evaluated altogether. Yeah, that bodes well. Did you know? You can now get daily or weekly email notifications when humans reply to your comments.
Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)This bastardized joke isn't Hitman. I look forward to the one that follows after this, possibly with more spiky hair and melodrama.
Am I mad? You bet your candy asses I'm mad! Still looks good to me. I'm fucking devout with my Hitman too. As long as its not as drastic as SC: Conviction (change-wise). I quite enjoyed conviction but they took away a lot of my favorite parts of SC. A QR code appears in the video, if anyone's interested, and links to this site: http://www.barcode-society.com/ I thought splintercell conviction was fantastic despite the changes. I've never even played a hitman game somehow I am interested I'n this. @Vitamin: I fully agree. It just... Didn't feel the way I wanted it to. Chaos Theory is still my favorite. Just a case of change where I didn't want it. Still a great game though. Definitely better than double agent. Only sc I did not like and never finished. @Vitamin: I fully agree. It just... Didn't feel the way I wanted it to. Chaos Theory is still my favorite. Just a case of change where I didn't want it. Still a great game though. Definitely better than double agent. Only sc I did not like and never finished. If you watch the Diana trailer, Benjamin Travis is the one who sets up the hit on Diana, and now he is 47's handler... Eeeeeenteresting.. So.. there are contracts then? Because that's one of the major changes that they've been talking about. No contracts. Don't see how this guy is going to fit in unless he double-crosses you right after the first mission.
I'm so down over this game :( I wasn't interested in this game until I saw the PAX East gameplay demonstration panel.
