Never trust a trailer for a game like this, stealth doesn’t make for exciting video so they never show it. Look at Splinter Cell Conviction, that could be played extremely stealthily but since it wasn’t exciting to watch, we got trailers that made it look as actionny as gears of war
This could be just a mix-up mission. You know, assassinating the assassins while defending the target. If that’s the case, and the majority of the game is still as choice-driven as the Hitman of old, it’s all good. Otherwise… balls
Hitman’s always been linear, but with many different options per level. I’d like to think this hitman will stay with it’s roots of having many overall posibilities and variations to tackle a level. I’d also hope that it’s long… even with quite a few hours of playthrough the games still never felt long enough.
