I was actually very excited, then I realised I could be play my magnificent piece of kit which is the Pippin. I'll take Racing Days over any of this new dribble getting released.
Is it meant to be campy? The Hitman games are on my ever expanding "to play" list among the games I haven't played yet, so I don't have a frame of reference. If they're rocking like a Boondock Saints level of camp, this would be pretty cool.
If not, then goddamn are those the worst assassins ever. For christ's sake, did they roll up in a yellow school bus?

@PippinForLife I like you. You can stay
Colour me skeptical about this. Everything I've seen, gameplay included, is pointing to this being the exact opposite of what I want from a Hitman game.

I can't handle all the stealth and disguise gameplay. I reckon the game will be as good as Blood Money when it comes out but all the shooty-shooty videos they've put out aren't remotely interesting.
I want to see him throw some middle aged jogger into a garbage truck while disguised as a clown for Christ's sake.

The biggest thing that annoys me is the addition of an Arkham Asylum/City-like "nightvision" ability for Agent 47. The hell is that shit?
Trailer was pretty cool in an absurd way - I don't even understand the need for nun disguises though. It seems like an attempt to be edgy just because.

Killer hooker nuns? Well, I was entertained, I'll give them that.
I should be angry at this, as this trailer is totally not what Hitman ever was, but I'm not. If they pushed the old formula as far as it could go, maybe it really is time for a reinvention. I'd rather be pleasantly surprised by a new formula with old characters(like Splinter Cell: Conviction) than disappointed with the same old thing, but done slightly different(Splinter Cell: Double Agent).

I always hate it when the latex fetish nuns blow up my hotel room. Can't a guy just get a good night's sleep anymore?
Honestly, I see this trailer as an attempt to grab attention by throwing in Christian symbolism and violence towards women in skimpy outfits. It's not that I'm offended, but the trailer itself is a bit campy and stupid for a "Hitman" game, and honestly, I'm starting to really lack faith if this is the kind of thing they're doing to grab attention from the press and potential players. It's a desperate attempt at regaining relevance when another assassin series has overtaken it's popularity. I've always liked these games, but from what I've seen so far, I'm not particularly impressed, and this trailer cements that opinion.

God damn that is a fine looking trailer.
I enjoy people complaining as well, sexy aint never hurt no one^^
And it hardly feels out of place either, Blood money had alot of kinky fetish style missions after all.

Welp I'm still open to this game. I'll agree with Fugly Duckling as I loved the freshening up splintercell got. They don't show the stealth cause they think stealth makes boring trailers ... Well at least I hope so.
HAHHA U GETT IT?? THEY'RE DRESSED AS NUNS, BUT, HEHE, THEY AREN'T DOING CHRISTIAN THINGS! THEY ARE ALSO SEXY, WHICH NUNS AREN'T NORMALLY
Seriously, this is Saints Row humour. Fuck off.

The atmosphere and gameplay of the demo trailer seemed evocative of a lethal Arkham Asylum, which works for me. The set-pieces were attention grabbing and original, while the gameplay showed the promise of a robust variety of options for addressing each threat or situation.
I've played most of the Hitman games and walked away with very "meh" reactions, but it seems as though the technology of home consoles is finally on par with the unmet ambitions of previous entries into the series; and for that, I'm very excited.

Looks lame as fuck to me to be honest.
But then, I get very annoyed with shitty assassins and shitty battle practice in general. But then I wasn't supposed to look at that, I was supposed to have my brain switched off at the sight of stockings and a female hit squad in completely ridiculous poses.
I very much doubt this game will be for me.

"The original assassin"
HAHAHAHAHA, ASSASSINS CREED, THEY GOT YOU GOOD! THEY GOT YOU REAL GOOD THERE MAN HAHAHA!
>_>

Also, in case no one noticed or wanted to notice, Agent 47 shows more flesh than all of the assassin nuns combined.
"Whatever side of the discussion you inhabit, feel free to check out the video. Excited? Uninterested? Offended? What do you reckon?"
I'm strangely aroused.

I was going to make a plan on the "Original Assassin" line at the end and how it could be possible that these Nuns will never be in game and that this is just a hype trailer for 47 himself because he's the best and no one's better (save for Max Payne [obvious bias, Max isn't an assassin])...
But the BoboTheMonkey made a stupid and I hung myself.

Hitman: Absolution
Absolution: An ecclesiastical declaration of forgiveness of sins.
bit of a stretch to link Absolution with sexy nuns with guns but hey who cares it only a CGI trailer they always pretty pointless in the long run.
the 15 minutes gameplay footage for way back sold me that this is just blood money next gen which is all needed to know

Just to clarify, I wasn't going for a gender comparison there, although it's certainly applicable. My thought was that this is much more evocative of Tarantino's style than anything I'd associate with traditional Hitman gameplay.
I mean seriously. Once you have to fistfight hooker nuns in the parking lot, you've pretty much failed at the whole stealth thing.

I have hopes it'll be just like the old hitman games.... but its just trailers with rocket launchers, explosions and such sells to stupid people.
Not even squenix can fuck up hitman... right? right? :'(

Are they supposed to be terrible assassins? If they were a car they'd look great but run like shit on too much gas, and get you nowhere.
This may be the stupidest trailer I’ve ever seen, not even the logistics of what happened in it, but everything, the idea, the concept of what is happening here, I just, I can’t even....
My head hurts, I am stupider now than I was before I watched that video, I feel like my brain cells are committing suicide.
I mean, what the fuck was the meeting like when decided this was a good idea!?
“Hey let’s put this trailer together, I’m thinking we should have a bunch of nuns get off a school bus, but then they’re all hot and in eight inch heel s, and then woah, they have guns, and a rocket launcher, and then BAM, they’re actually sexy latex dominatrix assassin nuns! But then 47 is all “fuck that noise, bro” and he runs up and beats the shit out of them, and then *sniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiif* and then he’s all badass and killing them and punching them in the face and everything’s on fire, and even though it’s a stealth game and he saw them coming and could have just walked out the back but he beats them up anyway because doesn’t give a shit, if he had a piece of shit right now he wouldn’t give it to anyone dogg, that’s how much of a shit he doesn’t give right now. So what do you think?”
“Get that man a promotion.”
I feel like Apu when he heard about Billy and the Cloneosaurus, I just want to go on forever about how every aspect of this entire concept is wrong!
It must just an excuse to have dominatrix-nun booth babes at E3, it has to be, it’s the only logical but still stupid as hell and sleazy reason I can think of. Ugh, my head.

That said, they do follow 47's rules of disguise. Just put on the clothes and don't bother to cover up your very obvious features of (in his case) baldness or barcode. >_>
On a more positive note, I like how he seems to have done away with the bar code. That could turn out to be interesting. Shaving your head à la Max Payne doesn't really hold a candle to removing several layers of skin from the back of your neck.
I am indeed offended... by the sheer stupidity on display.
Who the fuck thought this joke of a trailer was a good idea?

I've never played a Hitman game.
I like this trailer for two reasons: it's pretty entertaining, and also because it's pissing people off. Just look at Handy's comment! Hilarity!

That was seriously fucking terrible.
I am not even opposed to them changing Hitman up a bunch. Chaos Theory was my favourite Splinter Cell game and I loved the shit out of Conviction. If Hitman is a nice change of pace and let's you tackle missions head on or stealthily, that'll be cool.
But this trailer. Fuck. Second worst trailer this year next to that shitty Ghost Recon trailer with that plastic woman in it. I know they want to appeal to 12 year old boys, buy come on.

I'm really growing uninterested in this. Blood Money is one of my favourite games and this looks to be the complete opposite.
Yeah, wow, consider me offended; on an uncomfortably deep level.
To me, that trailer exhibits what is wrong with this new "golden age" of gaming.

Can you imagine the costs and time put forth to train killer nuns?
Bad Guy #1: Fernando, we have lost all our killer nuns.
Bad Guy #2: i Ay dios mio! I told you we should have trained killer priests.

This is not the game I'm looking for.
I don't mind absurd campy shit, I just want Hitman to be a stealth game.

That SAME IDEA was pitched as the season finale of House M.D. too, but they went with just the burning building. Gregory House should have beat up some leather nuns too.
I really don't know how to feel. If this game is going to be a comedy than they were successful, if they were serious they messed up big.
This is the stupidest thing I've seen all year, Not sure if that's a good thing, or a bad thing.
