Hitman: Absolution will be the fifth entry in Square Enix’s flagship stealth franchise, and it’s become quite clear through the demos we’ve seen thus far that the developer plans on reaching a wider player-base by implementing new features and components not previously seen in Hitman games.
Most notably, Hitman: Absolution will feature a “point shooting” system in which a slow-mo sequence will activate, giving you time to tag all enemies within view and subsequently take them out with one lethal shot each when time resumes. We saw a very similar system introduced with the upcoming Splinter Cell: Blacklist, ironically another series that has traditionally always placed much more emphasis on stealth rather than gunplay.
