Hitman: Blood Money sets sights on Xbox 360


In a stealth attack maneuver worthy of Agent 47, the fourth iteration of Eidos' Hitman series, dubbed Hitman: Blood Money, will be released on Microsoft's next-gen Xbox 360 system, in addition to the previously announced PC, Xbox, and PS2 platforms. The real coup de grâce is that it will be released alongside those versions this spring!

Executive Producer Neil Donnell said, "We are thrilled to be able to deliver Hitman: Blood Money on Xbox 360," continuing, “The development team at IO have engineered and developed the game to harness and exploit the latest in graphics and game technology so Xbox 360 is the ideal platform to demonstrate this work in HD. Gamers will be in for a real treat when they get their hands on this game and are able to fulfill their wildest Hitman fantasies.”

We'll have to wait and see if Blood Money has that GR:AW-licious, next-gen look or that disappointing current-gen port look, this screenshot ain't saying much.

[Thanks, Alex]

1. I am definitely going with port, how many times will we have to see a game come out with its current-gen counterparts and be told it won't be a port. Start building up from the bottom and put some real effort into it. Not EA effort, more like Ubisoft effort.

2. I agree. I'm getting sick of the past generation/current generation console crossovers and ports.

Make it either for this gen or last gen... but doing both will fail in quality!

3. I loved the first Hitman -- it was near perfect were it not for the hellish controls. However, every Hitman since the first has been less capable of making me really feel like a hitman.

I suppose its a push for less simulation and more point-and-click action for the console-kiddies.

4. yeah i'm going with current gen port-like graphics, which is, pretty much what it is. the hitman series has always appealed to me, but when it came to playing the games the gameplay never felt quite right, what you could do was really cool, but the controls never felt very tight, unlike splinter cell, and that put me off the games, i don't think that they will remedy that loose control for the current gen games nor even there 360 version in which they are 'harnessing and exploiting' the 360's power...pfft, only ubisoft do that properly...

5. I am so hot for this game. The Hitman series has always been one of my favorites. I even loved Contracts. In fact, I don't see what people see wrong with that one besides some of the rehashed levels.

6. Am I the only person completely uninterested in this series?

It has never appealed to me.
