Hitman Gets Real In This Latest Video Promo

Hitman

A new video for Hitman has popped up and it shows what it would be like to play the role of Hitman’s handler in a real life scenario

The first “episode” of Hitman has launched today and many gamers are out there giving more than the Prolog missions a go. Some of you are holding out to see what the world is on Io Interactive‘s new title. Some are like us and giving the game a good go before giving our full opinion on it. Thankfully while those of you who are waiting to see if you should pick up Hitman or not it looks like Square Enix has given us a fun experience to look at in terms of a live action version of the game.

At first you hear live action and you think of the Hitman films that didn’t do the franchise a great deal of justice. This isn’t that kind of thing though. As it turns out it looks like a few streamers were asked to come and play the role of Agent 47’s handler and they were able to dictate what he should do in a real live setting. What you are about to see are real humans acting out the action we will get to virtually do in Hitman as the episodes flow out over the next few months. Enjoy.

This has to be some of the best use of marketing in a while here for Hitman. While it does look like a mess for a few people there it does look like the actors and everything were able to react in such a way that we would want in the game directly. Yes, you could drag a whole dead body to a finger print scanner as the game would dictate but in this Hitman he was able to “cut off fingers” as needed. A much wanted addition to all games to work around some of the awkwardness. I only wish I could have been behind the screens…

What do you think about this “experience” for Hitman here? Is it something that you would want to see more of or is it a waste of time and money for all of those involved? How do you think everyone did on both sides of the screen? Let us know and discuss away in the comments below.
