Hitman 5. Just kind of sends shivers up your spine doesn't it? Well you better grab a book because it looks like its going to be awhile before the IO Interactive assassination series finds it way back to us.
Danish developer IO Interactive is hard at work on the next game in the popular Hitman series, Eurogamer has learned.
The PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 title will be released "at the very earliest Christmas next year", one source told us.
The claim was backed up by retail sources, who have indicated to Eurogamer that a release later in 2011 "will be most likely".
The waters of presumption have been churning since some Hitman poster mock-ups found their way into the web last week. These have turned out to be nothing more than artist demo pieces that have no relation to any new game at all.
Of course we all know what IO Interactive has been working on, but I'm hoping that this has little bearing on what we can expect from Hitman 5. Run and gun is good but Hitman was always diametrically opposed to that type of game play. IO Interactive? Get it out of your system now. Then let me slowly, methodically, pick off my enemies without detection or mercy.

It would be awesome if it started adding splinter cell mechanics

I'm happy that they are at least working on it. I'm really excited on how they improve on the Hitman series. Since Blood Money was such a great game, i want to see it again but better!

Let's see what they can do with this game

All IO needs to do is refine Blood Money a bit to make the perfect Hitman game. Should be easy.

I just bought blood money and I can't wait for this next one to come out(even though I'll have college to do before I finish it :[ )

My only complaint about blood money was that you could only customise your core weapons! hopefully that will be fixed in hitman 5.

Hitman... One of the most engaging games despite the ill-suited mechanics.
I don't expect nor want a Splinter Cell, but something more closely linked to, say, James Bond meets Golgo 13.

That's a ways away, but at least it exists, and will be out a year before the apoolypse.

Quite a while to wait, but then Agent 47 always was a slow, stealthy one...

Well as long as they IMPROVE on what the Hitman series has done, all the disguise and multiple scenario stuff, instead of making a completely different game like Conviction did, then I am happy and excited to see number 5.
You just got to remember, if they are saying late 2011, I am guessing it will not come out until early 2012.

While I'm really glad Hitman's not a lost cause, I sure hope it is a heavily improved cause.Time to whip out a laundry list of things they need to improve on this game:
-The suspicion system needs to be reworked: its gotten better since Hitman 2+, but I hope its more accurate this time around.
-The AI needs to be improved. Security and whatnot do pretty hastily things if you dont do what your told: I.E not leaving an Area=right to shoot you or when enemies shoot you, cops think its OK to join in. Civilians also have very odd behavior sometimes and could easily flaw the game.
-combat in this game needs to be retooled.From handed to hand to shooting: it all needs to be fixed. they had the shootin g just right in contracts, so I hope it goes beyond contracts. for the love of god please don't get rid of the first person view mode!
- Add a cover mechanic. It doesn't matter if it's kane and lynch's cover mechanic: it needs one. nothing says stealth like going against a wall.
-carry a victim. Dragging can be hinder-some,so why not carry them: its faster!
that's just a little bit, but hopefully IO interactive proves to be successful and blow my mind with Hitman5!
