GSY Preview PC PS4 Xbox One

A few weeks ago, Square-Enix invited us to a press tour event in London to play Hitman. Well guess what, we prepared a full English video preview including our impressions on the game. On the French side, you'll also find a written article which might have some more information we didn't have time to mention in the video. Be comprehensive, this was pretty much improvised and recorded in one shot.
Note: One negative point we didn't mention in the video is the AI once you are detected. It felt rather scripted in the build we saw and it was easy to fool them.
Update 2: Corrected video added with proper black levels.

Thanks for the preview. Are the black-levels correct? Could be a grey 16-235

We didn't capture the footage, it was given by Square-Enix.

It is looking a bit worse than Absolution.

i'm not sure absolutions "Instagram filtered" visuals amounted to a better looking game personally.

I was actually blown away by the quality of the visuals here. EDIT: Just saw the comment that you didn't capture this footage, so I strike my question.

The visuals are incredibly crisp, wow! Driftwood, do the game look like that during gameplay (on PC) or is the video touched up/doctored in any way?

I wasn't in London, I just gave my voice for the video. :(

I'll ask.

What I do know is that the build they were showing also ran poorly on PC, around 40 fps on powerful rig if I'm not mistaken. And there were crashes and bugs too.

I don't like the giant "SUBDUE" prompt on the back of characters.

This looks like a return to form.

Is there a first person option still?
