Ok I was really looking forward to this game...but I just found out Jesper Kyd isn't doing the music, and David Bateson possibly isn't doing 47's voice. WHAT THE FUCK?!?!?!?!

Man, the music really made the series, and not having David Bateson would be a crime. Most of the screenshots look good, but what's with the helicopter shooting at him? I thought the point of the game was that 47 was practically a ghost, and this looks more like Splinter Cell then pulling off the perfect undetected assassination.

Well they showed the same level at E3, people are guessing it's just the tutorial. I hope so...

Wow check this out, someone emailed David Bateson asking what's going on, and here is his reply:

"Hi James
The truth is: I have no idea what's going on. No one at IO Interactive are taking my calls, e-mails or answering my sms. I go to bed and wake up to hundreds of e-mails all asking me if I'm still to voice Agent 47.
poo poo feeling inside, right now. Maybe I will know more on Monday
Kind regards
David"

Fuck this game and fuck IO.

Yeah, it appears they're entirely changing what the game is about - not in a good way.

I just read some magazine scans that make the game sound even worse. It seemed like a checklist of what to NOT put in a Hitman game.

-"Instinct" which functions like Detective Mode in Arkham Asylum
-Checkpoints during levels
-Parts of levels are set up like the stealth sections in Arkham Asylum
-Cover system
-No Jesper Kyd or David Bateson

All it needs now is some quick time events and it's straight to the bargain bin.
