played a bit of the demo last night, looks awesome (well on my card anyway ;) ) looks like a really great game, when i get some time , ill jump back into it.

I've played two. Didn't like it too much considering the extensive use of the sewage system and too much hiding. Same with Splinter Cell. I prefer the Max Payne way, run into a room with Dual Ingrams and then see who's the b!tch.

I really liked hitman 2 ... and this demo is a biig biig disappointment for me.
It's awful I tell ya

The menu is full of bugs.. it seems to be a big bug itself. I turned all the graphics down and I still had like ... 10-15 fps (hitman2 ran perfectly well on my machine) and the game does not seem t be any more beautiful than v2 was.

The demo is exactly like a leak. The menu is crappy... kinda half-done. The game is buggy as hell. Objects floating, disappearing, flipping normals.
And the gameplay has not improved at all. The dood runs kinda freaky (or as I could tell at 10fps).

I'm just telling you... I was really disappointed :-/

Just finished off hitman 3 today :) Now I have to play through on a harder mode and go for Silent Assassin. If you beat Hitman 1 and Hitman 2 I suggest playing it through first on medium difficulty, the easy is much easier than hitman 2's "easy mode" (and the "hard" much more hard). This is probably my favorite game series ever, and I love it! Maxtr0sity: Yeah, sounds like the hitman series isn't for you if you aren't into stealth :D

Hmmm, do you think, perhaps, that these are related? :sure:

I haven't played the demo yet, since I'm at home and not at my uni house. But what are your system specs?

Pretty different, wouldn't you say? :sure: As for 'bugs' - what do you mean by 'menu bugs'? Graphical anomalies such as flickering and misalignment? that could be issues with your system/graphics card. Either way, with such higher specs, I'm not entirely sure why you're so surprised that it didn't run as well.
