Remember that game trailer that was released just before E3? The one depicting some sexy nuns who were actually assassin's out to kill Agent 47, getting murdered by 47? That caused some controversy. Tore Bylstad told an audience at E3 "We’re sorry that we offended people. That was truly not the intention of the trailer." According to Tore(that's an awesome name), the Attack of The Saints trailer will actually be a scenario in the actual game. The Nun assassin's are sent by the agency to kill 47(for whatever reason). Of course the CG trailer only showed one possible outcome of what could happen... which was 47 killing every single one of them.
That isn't how Hitman games normally work anyway... there are multiple ways to finish missions. The trailer was also picked I think mainly for hypersexualised imagery and violence. I have no issues with that but with the accusation of exploitation being thrown around... that the trailer is a cheap exploitative marketing stint for the male demographic, younger gaming audience... it gets to my nerves a bit more. Surely sexy nuns in skin tight outfits isn't so practical in the first place. I didn't like it much. What about you guys? The trailer a bit much? Or hot air over nothing? The offending trailer below...
