Aunque Square Enix e IO Interactive todavía no lo han descrito oficialmente, parece que el nuevo juego de sigilo y asesinatos Hitman: Absolution ofrecerá hasta cinco niveles de dificultad para ajustarse al estilo y habilidad de muchos jugadores.
Los detalles respecto a estas cinco modalidades aparecieron después de que Kotaku examinara a fondo una 'preview build' del juego que llega el 20 de noviembre.
Todavía no contamos con las denominaciones en español, pero habrá un grupo Enhanced (Mejorado) que engloba los modos Fácil y Medio para los jugadores novatos o eventuales, mientras que el grupo Profesional presenta las opciones Difícil, Experto y Purista para suponer todo un desafío a los veteranos de la serie.
A continuación copiamos las descripciones en su inglés original. Como puedes ver, el modo Purista elimina todas las ayudas y obliga a actuar como un auténtico sicario.
Enhanced: Easy
Supreme training and a physique enhanced beyond ordinary human capacity mean that your enemies are no match for you. By cunning or by brute force, you are unstoppable.
Players can activate additional checkpoints
Instinct regenerates
Instinct will provide hints
Enemies react more slowly than normal
Enhanced: Medium
You can rely on Agent 47's superior training and instinct. Remaining completely unnoticed can be a challenge, but you can always rely on your guns to get you out of trouble.
Players can activate additional checkpoints
Instinct does not regenerate
Instinct will provide hints
Normal enemy presence with normal reaction times
Professional: Hard
You like a challenge and your enemies will provide you with just that. They will be more numerous and with faster reactions. Evading your enemies will be difficult and you must strike with flawless timing.
Players can activate additional checkpoints
Insting depletes when used and does not regenerate
No instinct hints
Additional enemies with improved reaction time
Professional: Expert
You fight for every inch of progress, often without firing a single bullet. You don't rely on any help and accept trying many times before reaching your target...and perfection.
No player-activated checkpoints
Instinct depletes when used and does not regenerate
No instinct hints
Maximum number of enemies with fastest reaction
Professional: Purist
This is a challenge for a true perfectionist. You know every rule, every detail, and all environments by heart. Even then you will die trying.
