the slowest download to date. about 4% in 30 minutes.

2 - I wonder how this is going to play?
Unregistered - #47 05.24.2006 17:43
I for one hope it is nice! I am a rarity in that I loved the first title (PC only) for the hitman series....after that it went downhill relatively fast.

So, heres hoping this one is good!

i have done 7% in the last hour, this was worse than the halo 3 trailor. All i can say is it better be worth it.

4 - Live = crawling
Unregistered - ouch 05.24.2006 17:56
16%.....timed out....start download again now at psuedo 54% (which in non ms math equates to 16%)

The race is one...who will be first to play?

You can play the demo of Hitman. Waiting for downloads is a waste of time.

6 - One more thing I was among the first ones to play this game so you lose.

hmmm. i'm from germany ... wtf - the game is already out.

Unregistered - shotty 05.24.2006 19:29
For the guy from germany. There is a law in your country that forbids the use of red blood in video games which is why Hitman is not available in Germany. Maybe they will make it black or orange and then ship it. I personally can't imagine playing a game that uses any colour besides red for human blood but maybe it's possible.

10 - I love how dumb i can be sometimes, lol
Unregistered - Xgamer 05.24.2006 21:06
62% and counting, wake me up in another 2 hours, lets see if it's at 75% then.

I could be out doing something, like like like naaa I like being inside playing with myself.

Well i'm now at 2 hours, 30 minutes and I've gotten 96% downloaded. Sure hope its worth the wait but, like all 360 games with the exception of Top Spin, I'm sure it will be.

whats most upsetting about the demo is the videos they put in. Im all for watching some good videos but not in a demo. I dont really care for plot, just gimme the basics to get me amped to play. Im guessing half the size was for vids.

personally, the graphics are not that great, but ill still buy it for the gameplay.


13 -
Unregistered - shotty 05.24.2006 23:06
The graphics are alright but the game play is really fun. Its an open type of game with A LOT of swearing. By open I mean there are a lot of ways to kill people and dispose of them.

14 - Training Demo
Ugly American 05.24.2006 23:06
It is the training level. For just training, it was pretty fun. The newspaper at the end to summarize your mission is fun. It only took 30 min to download, so sweet all in all.

THIS GAME BLOWS

The benefit of demos. Splinter Cell for the xbox 1 had better interactivity and graphics. Trust me on the graphics I have a HDTV, they're horrible compared to 360 games at launch. It was the most uneventful and waste of time I've ever had with my 360.

It is an open game sure, like any of that genre. After one try those clever rope cuts and explosions that take guys out loose their 2 seconds of satisfaction real quick. The explosions, physics, and characters are all CHEESY. It's like picking up action figures and running them through the most linear game possible. This could easily be the worst graphics on the 360. It shows big time.

Hardly next gen.

5/10

Wow. What an AWFUL "game".

This game gives Final Fantasy a run for its money in the linear gameplay department....

Go to point A, press 'A'...

Now to to point B, press 'A'...

Now go to point C, press 'A'...

The graphics weren't bad, I just cant imagine playing a game this tedius.

18 - why it takes so long 2 download hitman demo
mikeblow63 05.25.2006 08:53
it depends on what time of the day you download demos it took less then 10 mins to downdload hit man demo download in early morning or in the middle of the night when is gears of war demo coming

19 - No, pretty much the worst game yet
Unregistered - Mo 05.25.2006 08:54
I echo all that was said about the graphics. This is the most pathetic display of visuals I have seen on my HDTV. Shiit, even the agent's head has a million jaggies. AT LEAST GET THE FOREGROUND TO BE SMOOTHE!!!!!

Just another sorry port disguised as next-gen. I will NOT be fooled. FUUCK OFF HITMAN SERIES FOREVER!!!!!!!!

and FUUCK FOREVER FANTASY XXV11VVXXMMXX TOO goddamn it.

I DON'T BELIEVE THAT YOU GUYS ARE TALKING ABOUT HOW HORRIBLE THE PS3 GRAPHICS ARE, ESPECIALLY GENJI2. THIS GAME LOOKDED NEXT GEN COMPARING TO ALOT OF 360 TITLES, SUCH AS;CRACK DOWN, TONY HAWK, THE OUTFIT, AND TDU.

PEOPLE THE PS3 WILL WIN BECAUSE OF THOSE 15 EXCULSIVES THAT ARE ALL COMING BEFORE Q2 OF 2007:

PS3:
MGS4
FF13
RE5
ASSASINS CREED
DMC4
RATCHET AND CLANK
TEKKEN6
KILLZONE2
VIRTUA FIGHTER5
HEAVENLY SWORD
PROJECT IM


23 - STOP
Unregistered - Vincent 05.25.2006 10:11
I am so unimpressed by that list of PS3 games! I really wish you people would stop showing it. Metal Gear is horrible!! Horrible , they never stop talking in that game! NEVER! FF was old in 1988! It's played out! Get over it. These games you are touting as good aren't really that good. On top of that they are all sequels of TIRED FRANCHISES! What is so next gen about 6's and 5's and 13's? Tired Old Broken Down Franchises!

24 - It's a port but will be fun
Unregistered - Xgamer 05.25.2006 10:54
Yes, it's just a port but still it'll have some fun gameplay too and remember this demo is just a training level that's why it's set up that way. Gameplay wont be this way.
I'll buy it, but it should be 39.99. In fact "ALL" ports so people know there ports should have to come out as 39.99 per MS. This would put a stop to this soon I think.

To the ps3 game list guy: are you an F'in moron, those arent games that are exclusive to the ps3, XBOX 360 is getting some of those as well. Do you know what exclusive means anyway's ??? Resident eveil 5, Xbox 360 gets and maybe your ps3 if it ever comes out so this is not exclusive, just a lesson in schooling for you. Instead of looking at your weak list, you better be loking at weather your even going to see a ps3 at all. A problem system like that isnt coming out in november, bet me. Feb. 2007 is more like it. If at all.


25 - lol
Unregistered - blackhwk 05.25.2006 11:00
nice try #22 but i think no one gives a sh:t about it.

26 -
munish 05.25.2006 11:09
#22 is stupid, some of those games are coming to 360 like residemnt evil 5 and project IM. Some are probably comin out too like assassin's creed, devil may cry 4, and a new final fantasy game(i dont care bout this one though)

27 -
Unregistered - FreeMonk 05.25.2006 12:04
Right, I'll deal with #22 first.

PS3:
MGS4 - Looks pretty sweet, and I wish like everyone else that this was coming to X360.
FF13 - There WILL be a final fantasy on X360. It's not announced, but they'll be one
RE5 - Multi-platform
ASSASINS CREED - Shown on a 360 behind doors at E3. This will come out for 360
DMC4 - Confirmed by creator that this is coming to X360
RATCHET AND CLANK - Boring boring boring. Got old by the last game!
TEKKEN6 - Same again, boring. I'll stick with DOA. Plus Namco have had a very poor time lately with titles.
KILLZONE2 - Ha ha ha. Don't make me laugh. Nothing shown at this years E3, so what makes you think this is going to be out in 2007 before E3??
VIRTUA FIGHTER5 - Excellent game, shame about this one as well.
HEAVENLY SWORD - Very pretty, but seen it before in DMC
PROJECT IM - Never even heard of this!

Other than Virtua Fighter 5 and MGS4, everything else is either coming to 360 or will be exactly the same as the previous game with prettier graphics.

Let's list the X360 exclusive titles:

Lost Planet
Dead Rising
Chromehounds
Viva Pinata
Dead or Alive BV2
Halo 3
Fonza 2
Mass Effect
Too Human
Bioshock (E3 game of the show for many many magazines and internet sites)
Gears of War
Alan Wake
Huxley
Ninety Nine Nights
Enchant Arm
Blue Dragon
Test Drive Unlimited
Saints Row
F.E.A.R.
Crackdown
Golden Axe

PLUS all the exclusive Live! arcade games like Street Fighter 2, Contra ect that will all be online compatable.

Out of the games I've listed (21 games total) only 2 are sequals. Out of the very small list you stated, 7 of those are sequals! Shows that Sony have originality. All notice I never added any multiplatform titles. All are EXCLUSIVE to the 360.

So stop coming over with your crap, and face the facts. MS is doing a fine job, and a better job that Sony are doing at the moment. All Sony are doing is spitting out lies and speculation, and disappointing there fans (me included). At least MS tells it like it is and offering gamers a new gaming experience with the new titles there releasing and with there Live content.

NOW...PHEW!!

Hitman - Disappointed. It looked ok. Nothing spectacular graphically, but I never was expecting a pretty next-gen game. Gameplay feels ok, but handling can be a little choppy. Just after taking the guys out with the sniper rifle, getting though the windows were a nightmare. Took ages to do the animation. Doubt if it's because of the demo, because the game ships this week.

Overall, maybe a rental. Definatly not a buy after playing the demo.

Oh, and check out this link PS3 fanboy!! This proves that Sony yet again lied to you!

Tekken 6!!! Looked very pretty in CGI, but real graphics!? UGLY!! Poor Poor Namco!


29 - HA
Unregistered - Vincent 05.25.2006 12:39
Wow Freemonk I think I can sum it up... PS 2.5 Anyone? That really looks like original XBOX graphics that is quite BAD. I am becoming more and more Fanboy as I realize sony should be ashamed of themselves. Isn't false advertising illegal in most countries?

mgs4 will be crap, if previous games are anything to go by too many long cut scenes.

getting back to hitman, very average again.

first: to the guy with the 360 gamelist
1-of the games that i listed only RE5 is OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCED for the 360.
2- Assasins Creed was not running on a 360, because simply no body saw the damn 360 running the game, and go to game spot.com and read the article about assasin's creed running on a ps3 dev according to the game developer.
3-Bioshock is coming to ps3, and so might be huxley.
4- some of these games are on PC.
5i didn't state all ps3 exculsives, such as warhawk,motorstorm,formula1,NFS:carbon,eyedentify,fetal interia, and alot more.
6- Project Im is only confirmed for ps3, and will at least come to ps3 first then the 360.
PS3; regarding of its price have the following features that 360 doesn't have:
Blue Ray Player.
Motion sensing technology
60 GB Standard
Free online service
Wifi
Web browsing

PS3; regarding of its price have the following features that 360 doesn't have:
Blue Ray Player ( why would you refuse a $1000 technology , even if you don't use it now, maybe in the future when BR movies become cheaper)
Motion sensing technology ( even if sony copied from nintendo, MS is the only Company left without the Tilting technology)
60 GB Standard (better for RPG's like Obivion that loaded every 4 seconds)
Free online service (MS charges $70 for XBL, while sony will deliever at least all the basics of live such as downloads, ranks, stores, and music, for free.
Wifi ( i have a HDTV so that is really a plus for me and everyone that is going to buy one )
Larger 3rd party support(the 360 is gaining some support but still they didn't reach the sony's level, which have twice the support)
Web browsing ( i know you could do that in your PC, but what if u don't have 1)

-now if you calculate the money you need to upgrade your 360 it will be alot trust me




33 - THE REAL deal
Unregistered - aSYLUMCHILD 05.26.2006 00:17
OK lisen dont lisen to eny of those other people up there they have no clue what there talking about. First off the game has its ups and its downs. The grafics are pritty poor for those of you who looked at the @$$es of the "dancers" in GTA SAn andreas they were very miss shaped just like the same in this game lol So yes the Grafics do suck! The game play is the BEST part of the game though. You can chose how ever you want to play the mission you can run threw shooting or take your time. Nothing is holding you back of course you get a better ranking after you finish. Ok one cool thing I did like abotu this game is after you beat a mission it shows a a newspaper (frount page) and you can read it for instance I killed 14 people shot mabbe 4 of them and the rest a stangled well in this news paper it said (who ever) was found dead today along with 14 other members of his body guards also dead we found 4 bodys with 4 !HEAD SHOTS! and others had standled marks around their necks or bruses on their head(meaning I based someones skull in with a hammer)We found many bodys hiddin inside of crates and large boxes we are dealing with a very intellagent man that uses perstege thinking and cunning. ARMED AND EXTREAMLY DANGEROUSE (NOW FOR INSTANCE YOU you ran threw jsut shootin the Heck out of everything then it would say somthing like Acrazy mainyack ran threw slaughtering many people HAHAHAHa well you get what i mean). I Am a big fan of HITMAN games and you should defently give it a try and stop lisening to all these other TWATS


34 - I agree
Unregistered - Me 05.26.2006 06:34
The graphics here are a disappointment, this is not Splinter Cell, BUT the gameplay is excellent. Fun, fun, fun... Cheers
