Square Enix have released sixteen minutes of gameplay footage taken from Hitman Absolution.
The video finds Agent 47 unarmed and being tracked by police, his only hope of escape being bookcases that have a boarded back on the bottom two shelves. Curiously, the rest of the bookcase is open both sides (see for yourself at 4m 05s), perhaps persons of a small stature only like taking books from one side.
The video shows some lovely lighting effects (check out the rain on the windows) and sly humour as the sneaky Agent quietly subdues a Policeman standing next to a ‘Silence please!” sign.
The footage also shows a helicopter attack, Agent 47 dressed as a policeman and a man in boxers shorts running off with a suspicious looking pot plant.
Maybe it’s his favourite Begonia.

Looks excellent.

I loved the hitman games, love those stealth style games, probably why I love MGS so much. Had all the PS2 games and Silent Assassin rating on all levels, been chomping at the bit for a next-gen Hitman, cannot wait for this.

I like it. Never played a Hitman game before, but this looks really impressive.

That was phenomenal! I especially loved the way the music dynamically changed with the action, like when he shoots the chandelier. If they can keep up that level of quality throughout the game, then it is a day one purchase for me. Very exciting!

Rain on windows looks amazing, however the glass should retain it & the dirt on its surface when broken(ocd.) Looks stunning overall, never had a doubt it wouldn’t. All prev hitman titles were ahead of their time & gampelay was also at a high level too.
Happy there’s a stealth game mode, which deactivaes the ability to see through objects, that would’ve been a game breaker for me, had you been unable to disasable. Change of the appearance of glass not a g.breaker lol, but don’t do it again ty:)
