This is according to the developers and several reviews. It all really depends on your playing style (and the difficulty level you choose).

So 8 to 12 hours. Never trust developers on that.

Hitman games are not that complex, they're just different to most games.
If Double Fine can make a competent Hitman clone like Stacking, it can't be that complex.

This week there will be a community event @IOI. Some forum members have been invited to play the game. More impressions will follow. IOI has arranged everything: hotel, the flight etc.
You can say what you want, but IOI is one of the most generous developers in the business.

According to this article, it's Steamworks. That's quite a deal.

A cynical person would say they're just buying opinions. But any developer that acknowledges fans on a forum is nice to me.
Eidos Montreal and Double Fine are great with their fans. Especially Eidos Montreal over Deus Ex Human Revolution, having to deal with all the hate over 3rd person, cutscenes, auto-executions, art style, UI, difficulty. Imagine a forum full of Derrick01's.
They changed something (I forget what, UI?) to cater to fans and answered loads of questions on the forums in a video series.
Just to let you know before you put money down on Vegas for that, my instincts have never been that off before.

Made the item glow an option switch which saved the game really. It still had a load of design issues but the game would have been completely ruined with forced glowing.

ugh, the buggy checkpoint system is going to be annoying as hell.
Ya when I played morrowind the first thing I thought was, "this game is great but I wish it was dumbed down completely, take away the RPG mechanics, quests are way to complicated, and make dungeons a straight path."
Few years later I got skyrim! Perfect
I haven't really thought about this but one of my favorite things in Hitman is shooting someone in the face with my fully upgraded silenced Silverballer and having them do a backflip because of the stupid ragdoll physics. I'm going to assume they've made things a bit more realistic in that respect.

Oh yeah, that was pretty hilarious.
Agreed. I'll definitely get my money's worth with this one.
Across all platforms, I must have sunk about 200 hours into Blood Money.
So many parallels to Conviction, lol.
I feel like I'm missing something here.
for those interested, 4PP is playing Blood Money (PC) right now.

The review said that one level was an outlier, so hopefully that bug only happens there. Still pretty dumb, though.

It's frustrating watching players just run around aimlessly killing everyone. Guy clearly has no clue what he's doing.

A lot of people play Hitman games this way. They always try to make it out without any trouble but often ends just like the guy on stream.
Chip eatin' motherfucker.
Wat. That's really early.
edit: so he gets review copies according to his other video. Hm.

Oh my God, hahaha. I wish I could see that. Sounds hilarious.
I'm doing that in Hitman 2

Talk about a potential crises adverted. That would have killed the series before the first preview. What were they smoking when they even thought about such a stupid idea?
What are you even talking about? I have a perfectly fine job and have no desire to work in pr ect. I just like hitman and wanted to talk about it. Id rather you didn't go calling for my head.
I have no idea what this is about.

Not many games go for bullet wounds:
I love them, you get to see the consequences of your violence. Loved pumping lead into all the Kane and Lynch characters as they just flinched to dozens of holes on their face XD

They were coming down from the Kane & Lynch high.
K&L2 was awesome (well, aside from gameplay and gamedesign, those were complete shit).
Shanghai was great and they were great as beaten down, pathetic antiheroes.
Also i love the three legged dog idea+homeless man, although ofcourse not in an Hitman game, i hope they keep it for a new IP or maybe K&L3.
LOL, is this a joke post?
No.
I think as a game it's shit, but they nailed the atmosphere and "feel" they were going for pretty damn good.
If i were to review it i would give it a 6/10 or even 5/10, but i'd give the presentation a 9/10.
And since his post was specific about concept ideas and style (not gamedesign) i said that K&L2 was awesome (implying: in that regard).

I value his opinion, because like me, he only (at least mostly) cares about single player game and storyline. Very few of us left.

OK, I misread it then. Sorry.
lol, nonsense. Derrick has good taste and sticks to his guns. I'd take 1 million Derricks over these Call of Duty teenagers that need to be spoon-fed shit and can't enjoy a game unless you press A for awesome.
I'm feeling the love here <3
If it helps I think Far Cry 3 (next big game coming up) might only be kind of bad.
