Hitman 4 Q2 2005

Eidos has announced that the next game in the Hitman series will be released Q2 2005 and its working title is Hitman 4.

I am working my way through Contracts and am loving every bit of it. I am playing through on Expert and getting Silent Assassin on most levels. Honestly I'm finding it a little too easy, being a veteran of Hitman 2.

A couple of things I want to see in Hitman 4 are: Real Time Entry and Exit wounds, Bloody drag marks depending on the amount of blood spilled during a kill, jets of blood squirting onto walls when slicing a throat with a knife, make it easier to drop victims down manholes. And go back to the Hitman 2 inventory system when you didn't pause the game to access a new weapon.

Eidos should push the boundaries like Rockstar did with Manhunt (but don't go quite as pornographic) aim for realism and it won't lose.
