The first gameplay footage for Hitman: Absolution hasn't made its debut yet – not officially, anyway – but some of the title's gameplay details have emerged.
The details come via the latest edition of Xbox 360 World, courtesy of NeoGAF:
- 47 can still dual wield pistols
- Fibre wire is confirmed to make a return (no mention of syringes yet)
- The AI will wait in ambush should you start shooting, they will no longer run towards you all at once as they did in Blood Money. Not too sure about this as they don't really go into any detail. If the AI is able to wait for you to come to them it could once again suggest a more linear level design.
- A hint that there will be a gun customisation feature, but it will be much different to BM, no longer allowing the player to max out weapons after 2 or 3 levels.
- Instinct WILL be rewarded for stealthy gameplay as well as silent kills etc. It sounds like
- Instinct will also be rewarded at the end of each level and carry over into the next level.
Hitman: Absolution releases in 2012.
