It looks like Agent 47 payed a visit to Josh Wiggins at his garage, or the poor mechanic died in apparent accident if you believe the fourth issue of Hope News Time. Hitman: Absolution will be out worldwide on November 20th.

I want to play this game right now! Agent 47 is the man.

November release is so far away...

new footage seems less impressive now in hindsight, but that reveal level on the "library?" level walktrough is so much impressive, and the genius usage of post-processing, that even if the game was dissapointimg, i'd want to play it just for that cinematic piece of sweet pie. And the Sniper challange is visually really good looking and packed with so much detail. The sniper pose on A47 is cool as hell.

That delicious dark humor. "Literally stuck between 1st and 2nd gear".

so hitman now goes to the effort of covering up his barcode. i wonder if this is just for when he is in disguise.

So far, all these parts of him in HOPE, South Dakota in disguises he's had the barcode bandaged up. Maybe it's this particular place?

You'd think he'd just get it removed, would surely make his job easier?. Now instead of guards looking for a bald guy with a barcode on his neck, they can look for a bald guy with a suspiciously placed elastoplast on his neck...

But it's skin colored, you'd have to be right next to him to notice it.

It defiantly always seemed odd to me that someone would tattoo the back of a bald clones head when his sole purpose was to be a anonymous hitman.

That's definitely more an iconic thing so that the character is recognizable from far away to the player than for realism.

I'd say the whole bald head, black suit, red tie, twin ballers look was iconic enough tbh. I saw the barcode as a symbol of his production. But you'd think given his occupation, he'd have had it removed a long time ago...it's always seemed odd to me given the entire franchises gameplay revolves around masking your identity. Hello bald guy with a barcode tatoo...not exactly subtle...lol.
