Hitman: Absolution – Agent 47 Hiding in Plain Sight

For those of you that are fans of the Hitman franchise, have you ever wondered why characters in the game are so completely oblivious to a giant bald man with a bar-code tattoo?

Well, I’m here to tell you something exciting. After you watch this fan made cartoon starring our favorite shiny-domed assassins, Agent 47, two things will happen. 1) Your perspective will change; you’ll find the enemies in the Hitman series absolutely brilliant in comparison to the police detective in this video and 2) you’ll forever long to complete missions as Agent 47 “disguised” as a donut. I guarantee.

Hitman Absolution: Hiding in Plain Sight reminded me of Venture Brothers, and I mean that in a good way. I’ve only seen the show a few times, but the style seems very similar, and in particular, Agent 47’s facial expression reminds me of Brock Samson. Again, that’s a good thing. When the camera slowly panned right to show Hitman dressed as a donut, I lost it. Though it makes absolutely no sense, I thought it was a great touch, and I urge IO Interactive to take note and include the donut costume in the game. If they want, I’ll even shave my head and dress as Agent 47 disguised as a donut for Halloween to help promote the game.

IO, Take Note…

IO Interactive has subjected us to some really shitty marketing for Hitman: Absolution lately, and I can only hope that the next time their marketing department ramps up for the release of a game, that they take a page from Harry Patridge’s book… the creator of this awesome cartoon clip. This was a lot more original, and a hell of a lot more entertaining than some of the stuff the company has used to market the game recently.
