Hope News Time issue two is out and features the Barbecue Season. But the two new screenshots of Hitman: Absolution give us another perspective for that story.
you better be able to off that guy at the barby and take his clothes. the video from a while back made it seem like disguises where some sort of limited use ability that you can only use on certain character types. if that's the case then...well...lol

Agreed, I fear they may have changed too much for the sake of change.

I believe there is roughly one outfit change per level. The game will point you to the specific character vai blips on the mini map (all relevant locations will be detailed). Once you find him, there will be a special button prompt for you to allow you knock him out and change into his clothes. Each level/outfit will also have "safe zones" where you are undetectable by enemies, such as a cop near a box of donuts. The outfits will be context sensitive just like the kills. If you are in the right position, following the button prompt will allow you to watch a cutscene of Agent 47 offing the bad guys in very cinematic ways.
There will also be one "special weapon" (non-firearm) per level that you can use to kill bad guys in one certain location only, such as power cables, syringes, etc. This will be done through the use of QTE's. Also, Agent 47 has super powers now, and can see enemy silhouettes through walls.
Of course, I am just basing all this off the fact that the devs stated that Splinter Cell Conviction was a major inspiration for this game. None of that wack stuff is actually true.......

I see the negatives in games that look shit. What can i say.
I can see why some might be worried from the videos and such. But I've read and heard alot of what the devs say about the game & I really can't imagine this being the "conviction" of the Hitman franchise.
It should be a nice healthy evolution of the series.
I just dont want this to be "dumbed-down" for little kids to be able find the objective. I hate all those path-finding, enemies showing shits. I want minimal hud and enhanced work with knife.

I can't stand the way people think accessibility is about "being dumbed down for kids". It's not. It's about being more entertaining to a bigger audience. They've already confirmed that the harder difficulties will remove all the hud and all the accessibility features.
I also like how much people complain about the "instinct mode" that reveals enemies paths.... I mean did you not play the previous hitman games, because they had this thing called a map which showed the real time movements of everyone.

Well...if they said there will be no such things on harder difficulty, then its ok. What else to say. It looks like You took it too personally. Relax.

not the same at all, one lets you SEE THROUGH WALLS, real time, and act in real time to avoid threats (dumbed down for kids as you said). the fact you had to open your map, observe movements and then act blind afterwards make them totally different things. 47 shouldnt have xray vision, dude aint superman. but then again, this clearly isnt 47, it's jason bourne, just like fisher became jason bourne in SC:conviction. utter wank.

How does that make them totally different? Their function is almost exactly same. The extra advantage of the instinct mode is muted limiting usage according to the meter.
47 shouldnt have xray vision, dude aint superman. but then again, this clearly isnt 47, it's jason bourne, just like fisher became jason bourne in SC:conviction. utter wank.
So it's ok to have a map that monitors the movement of all NPC's in real time, but a limited ability to see enemies paths through walls makes it a big dumb kids game? Visually it looks a bit goofy though. but whatever I don't see anything wrong with it.
I can see your point about 47 seemingly being more like Jason Bourne or "batman" with guns in some of the trailers, but I am still confident the end result here will be a solid Hitman game, but we'll see.

But still having awful geometry, corner cutting.
Look at the wheels and characters arm in that screenshot,lol.
