Gamin' NEWS! Hitman news and, hey, remember Binary Domain?


Here's some little updates on upcoming games of interest.

Gosh, I sound so smart when I want to.

First of all, finally some gameplay of the upcoming new Hitman game Hitman: Absolution.


I absolutely love this series.
It kinda disappear off track, so I'm guessing most of the current gaming generations has no idea what these games are like.
Always loved the interactivity, the rich and interesting universe/gameplay of the series. Where you could plan a dozen scenarios to execute your "contracts".
This one's still developed by series creator IO Interactive. (unlike Core Design with the Tomb Raider series, another classic from Eidos)

Check it out:




This one's coming somewhen in 2012.

And what's more to it, there's already rumors of yet another Hitman up next coming on the shelves.
Square Enix have already basically confirmed it, somehow.
You see, since Square Enix is barely selling games these days, and since they also acquired  Eidos alongside all their old franchises, they confirmed their plan to develop ten strong franchises.
And a copyright just showed up recently:


It seems another game starring Agent 47's coming, this one titled Hitman: Profession.
Probably developed either by another studio or back in intern at Square Enix.

Either way, I'm not liking much the idea.
That's like, with the upcming Max Payne 3 at Rockstar. Imagine another game coming up, this one's developed by Remedy. Which one would you be the most awaiting for? The "fake one", cash-in, developed by the publisher to make money on one of their ips, with a new direction, radical shift in the presentation and tone...or the other one coming up from the series' creators?

Anyways, here's something else.
Remember Binary Domain?
That random over-the-top 3rd person shooter from Monkey Ball and Yakuza creator?


Sega just released another trailer for it finally!



This one's coming up around February 24.
It's looking great, probably one of the sleeper hits of the year. (and by hit I mean fun playing good looking enjoyable game, not "money-selling" hit...)
