Just wait next time he will be in his 60's but sound 30 and he will be able to call air strikes in

^Not to be harbinger of bad news but I wouldn't get too excited if I were you. Apparently it's poo :(

From the PC gamer review

62/100 - A passable stealth game, but one that betrays almost everything that, until now, has made Hitman great.

No saving, checkpoint system is awful - even an AI glitch can lead to you having to restart the level, also doesn't save data such as disguises or items you've left, and guards killed will respawn

Three-quarters of these levels are purely about traversal, getting from A to B to move the story forwards, and if you're given anyone to kill, it happens in a cutscene or scripted slow-mo event. The other quarter do give you a target to kill, and a choice of how, but that segmentation (of the levels) means you're operating in a space that isn't as rich or complex as a typical Blood Money mission

I desperately hope the reaction is strong enough to convince the developers to change direction, because I couldn't stand to watch the series die like this

Oh deary dear, that is pretty damn damning how could the developers get it so wrong and ruin such a good formula?

I'm sure even if those things were true and game breaking you wouldn't mind.

no offense but you throw "fanboy" around alot and are pretty quick to point someone out as fanatical, but very accepting of things that are outside the normal play style of a series.
