Planescape:Torment is one of my favorite games ever. I am far less rabid than most, though. Honestly, I'd be perfectly fine if, for example, they used the Mass Effect universe as backdrop. (That'd be a really interesting question to ask in the post-ME3 universe, too. With so many dead, why do *I* matter?)
The Planescape setting is damned cool, but most of it's use in P:T was that it was fleshed out enough for all the awesome questions and characters they wrote.
I care not for whatever trappings the game has, I just care that it has the same kind of spark P:T did. Now, I have my doubts, but anything's possible.

At least the store, the only part of that site that matters, still has the same layout.
Did I ever tell you the definition of insanity?

THE FUTURE IS HERE DUDE, WHOA.
It's because it is absolutely nothing like any of the previous Hitman games and has cheap cash-in written all over it. I played the first 4 levels and then shelved it. I wasted my money, but I'm not going to waste my time as well. If it didn't contain the Hitman logo and agent 47 I would never have been able to tell it was a Hitman game at all.
That said, I would have been able to enjoy it, despite the fact that it isn't really a Hitman game, if it was at least a good game, but it isn't. Not only is it a bad Hitman, it's simply a bad game, period. Shitty game design, shitty level design, shitty gameplay mechanics. The only non-shitty thing about it is the graphics.
It is a dumbed-down, streamlined piece of rubbish and it is clear who Square Enix's target audience was. First Dungeon Siege 3, now THIS? Seems Square Enix is on a mission to dumb down everything they can get their hands on.
I guess it's back to playing a good Hitman game for me, so I'll head back to Blood Money.
Like I said, your opinion ( to which you are entitled). But my opinion is that your opinion is wrong. I find it laughable in fact.
I consider myself a pretty huge hitman fan (the series is in my top 5 of all time) and I find absolutely no fault with Absolution. Everything you mentioned I strongly disagree with, except the graphics, which are gorgeous.
Try expert or purist and then call it dumbed down again.
I try to change this by introducing my non-gamer wife to the wonders of videogames. I am trying to do my best to share the joys of games with her. She is too smart and has far better taste than me (she being artsy filmmaker with enormous knowledge about that old medium), so she immediately sees all the game’s bullshit that I, as an erm… “established gamer” am willing to overlook.
No, you.she's living, undeniable evidence that everything is shit
Reminds me of Gears of War's choices.
