Impressions – Hitman


Hitman is a serial simple concept: you are given a target to assassinate several ways to achieve your goals, and it is up to you to choose the approach that best suits you. IO Interactive has so far been able to repeat the experiment with the variety of the situations, but it seemed difficult to go further without leaving the basic idea of the game that is murder. This is exactly what we offer studio with fashion Contracts revolution in continuity.

The first stage of this revolution is to place the player in the shoes of master of the game while he is playing. Dropped onto an open card containing dozens of targets and many ways to eliminate them, it is your responsibility to set up three targets in the crowd.
Once your chosen victims, you will eliminate the way it suits you: your choice of weapon and disguise with target will be recorded, as well as the extraction point by which you enfuirez after completing your plan.

You will have the feeling of having accomplished a mission while having actually played the role of creator. Indeed, each of the murders will be credited with a number of points, and the contract that you just created will be offered on web servers of the game you set specific conditions that increase the difficulty of the contract: the player must he strictly adhered to murder you ? Give yourself a bonus in case of perfect discretion ? The assassins around the world will then have access to your contract and will try to be as efficient as you.

This is the second step in the evolution of the franchise. We know the current trend of developers to develop their game with a multiplayer mode, engine purchase as a synonym for the player greater life. If Bioshock 2, Mass Effect 3 Max Payne 3 or have tried it efficiently but without genius, we can only show admiration for the work of the intelligence developers IO Interactive. Mode does not require simultaneous connection, it is a simple system challenge, but you may lose many mind.

Because it is a real part of puzzle mode Contracts invites you. Between the time of completion of the contract, the number of alerts triggered suspicions and loyalty and of course the killings requested, a score will be awarded to those who will try and match.

Needless to say, succeed the first time to match the fixed score ask all the talent and insight of a master assassin accustomed to the franchise. So you have to quickly visit the map in a first course in order to identify targets and how to kill them before embarking on the contract itself in a second test.

There is a way, an attempt disguise is not good, we panic and kill the first object that is found in our way, the desire to equal or even exceed the master always being stronger. The tension felt playing is much higher than in the countryside, because we know here is better than another, and that is not just reload a backup: it is our assassin honor is at stake

The excitement that comes over you is similar to what one feels when trying to beat the record of a friend on Trials Evolution. We know it is useless to take, because the slightest mistake can cause us to lose this High score that is reaching, but the excitement is still tremble at our arms to finish the series murders perfect we just do. Then do it again.
