The deadly and infamous assassin "47" returns in the new game Hitman: Absolution. IGN Editor Ryan Clements was lucky enough to get some time with the title and goes over the major changes developer IO Interactive has made to the series play style. Gone are large, sprawling levels and cluttered mini-maps, replaced now with a streamlined "Instinct" view, in which 47 can predict the path of enemies and the layout of maps. Will these changes breathe fresh air and innovation to the series or hurt its fan loved sand-box freedom? We'll have to wait until later in 2012 to see, as there is no official release date yet from publishers Square Enix/Eidos.
