Hitman Absolution‘s pre-order bonus sniping game has been a huge hit, tasking players eliminating an arms manufacturer and his entourage from afar. It’s been so positive, that IO Interactive is looking to ways to extend the experience and maybe even have a sequel.
“The response to Sniper Challenge has been incredible,” says art director Roberto Marchesi. “I can’t go into detail, but yes, we’re definitely interested in exploring that gameplay. The response isn’t falling on deaf ears, let’s put it that way.”
“The highest score we know about is past five million but our highest score internally was only in the high three millions. What we know is that, to get the highest scores, the first nine shots aren’t aimed at anyone. They’re all distraction shots, putting people in the right places.” he added. “I’m not sure I should talk about this, but our metrics are a really good way for us to understand the game because some kills happened in places we never expected at all and to get that five million score, they restarted many times!”
