http://www.pocketgamer.co.uk/r/iPhone/Hitman/news.asp?c=51832 While there are no info at all on what the gameplay might entails it's good to know that Hitman is indeed coming to iOS.
I hope they will stay loyal to the 3rd person stealth genre and dont make it into a free endless runner game with IAP called Hitman: The escape.
looooool!!! or hitman rush!! anyway good to know they are going to port hitman and many other brands as the article says! hope other editors will follow! and don't worry i m 100% sure its gonna be a real hitman game for mobile.
I just was reading a bunch of scam threads and nearly paniced when I saw this. Thank goodness I slowed down.
It's called Hitman: Sniper Assassin. Besides, Square Enix Montréal is also working on Lara Croft: Reflections for mobile. From what I know, apart from Deus Ex: The Fall and Bloodmasque, Square Enix is also developing the following mobile games: Hitman: Sniper Assassin, Lara Croft: Reflections, Deadman's Cross, Presidents' Day, Smoothie Swipe, Slime Shot and Rise of Mana. Let's take a look at these images (some hints on what these games are or on which they are based): * Hitman: Sniper Assassin (based on Hitman: Sniper Challenge?) * Lara Croft: Reflections (based on Tomb Raider (2013)?) * Deadman's Cross (the sequel to Guardian Cross?) * Presidents' Day (a card game?) * Smoothie Swipe (a Fruit Ninja-like game?) * Slime Shot * Rise of Mana (a version of Circle of Mana?)
Maybe it could top down like Monaco-esque, so you still have multiroom levels and set up accidents, etc.
Wait hitman sniper assassin is already out! Oh my mistake, it was Sniper Challenge! It was a pre-order bonus for Hitman Absolution. I don't think they would be porting it to iOS. Or they would have to make it bigger than that version... Lara Croft is reall interesting though!
It's not a port. It's a related game. Deus Ex: Human Revolution --> Deus Ex: The Fall. Hitman: Sniper Challenge --> Hitman: Sniper Assassin. Tomb Raider --> Lara Croft: Reflections.
Yeah I could see it working. It's not gonna be super great because it's kinda limited in its concept but it's a first step.
I'm going to use a bit of hopeful logic here and say that they have stayed true to Final Fantasy on mobile, and also ported the XBox/PS3 micro version of Lara Croft, so there is hope for this being a decent version, or even a port.
I think they should just port over a full Hitman game...I think they could make an old game like Hitman 2: Silent Assassin run quite smoothly on iOS. I have zero expectations for this to be a good game.
Hahaha! I hope they dont make it into anything but the 3rd person stealth action game that made it a classic.
He actually posted that info a while ago on another thread. He does very good research. And has good sources. All his info is golden. Definitely one of the most reliable posters I've seen on any forum.
