Hitman Absolution E3 trailer has nuns with guns
Square Enix has released the E3 trailer for Hitman Absolution, featuring an attempted hit on 47 and a group of assassins dressed as nuns. We’re not joking.

After a tease yesterday, Square Enix has unveiled Hitman Absolution’s E3 trailer ahead of a massive showing at the event next week.
The clip shows Agent 47 under attack at a motel from a wetworks team dressed as nuns, sent by 47′s old agency the ICA. They’re apparently called “The Saints”.
The video was made by CG studio Visual Works, who made the infamous Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Tomb Raider CG trailers, under the direction of developer IO Interactive.
Watch the trailer above. Hitman Absolution launches on November 20 worldwide for PS3, 360 and PC.

Some guy killing a bunch of sexy girls… I dunno. I liked the girls, I just didn’t like the part where they all got killed.

How DARE IO Interactive do something that I don’t like? Don’t they know I am the BEST QUALIFIED person to tell them how to make their game????
This should be EXACTLY like the previous games. ALL games should stay EXACTLY the same as their previous iterations.
But, again, ye all rant on Call of Duty.
Fucking hypocrites.

@61: ?
Who here tells IoI what to do? We only ask the question: Is there a need for the female assassins to dress like strippers?
Reading would’ve helped you understand that, but instead, you choose to be offended.

the 88 stuff in his name speaks for itself…everyone knows what that stands for right? (88 stands for HH stands for heil hitler). then albo prolly stands for albino, what he probably thinks is the whitest of white…i am a very tolerant guy but this is just too much. thx for banning.
edit_ok i see. the 88 stuff was dicussed already thx anyway.

I read all of the above comments with great interest (I also had no idea what 88 represented other than a poker hand), especially after reading an online article called What The Hell Is With That Hitman Trailer? It was written by a woman who said “it fetishizes the violence and sexualises the women.” Mind you, she did go on a bit and 400 people said she was ‘uptight’, but hey! I just figured the comments were mostly written by young blokes.
But chicks with guns? What’s not to like. Who cares if they’re dressed either slutty or nice? I thought that was juxtaposition. No matter how you try and dress this thing up – no pun intended – chicks with guns shifts products because everybody is talking about it. You can’t buy better publicity than that. I had to watch it again. Purely in the course of research I’ll have you know, but I think it’s nothing but clever marketing. This advert is doing its job very well indeed.
