IO Interactive explains storytelling in Hitman: Absolution

A new video from developer IO Interactive goes into detail over how they’re telling 47’s story in Hitman: Absolution, and how they want to make sure the player is well motivated for the kill.

The behind-the-scenes look features some of the cast who were involved in full performance capture in Los Angeles. Actor Powers Boothe even had to figure out a ‘cool way to smoke’.

The dev team explain what it takes for them to tell a story in a video game like Hitman: Absolution, which releases on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC November 20th.
