America is vigilantly protected by brave superheroes: Spider-Man, Captain America and other fighters for justice, patrolling day and night. Spaces of space – under the reliable protection of green lanterns and guards of the galaxy.

What remains the mother of Russia in this world of superhumans and superheroes? Build intrigues against the states, send spies and spread the ideals of communism in their rear? For the most part, just like that – let's not forget that the Silver Age of comics fell on the “cold” war.

But the years go, the foundations are breaking, and it is time for us to remember the most outstanding Russian characters from the pages of Marvel comics and DC: brave heroes and inveterate villains. We take only the original universes, otherwise in others, almost every famous hero has got a Soviet “twin”.

Sorry, Superman-Communist, but today without you.

The spy that I loved

Many of the "Russian" heroes did not get beyond the comics, but some have more than once appeared on large screens. The most famous of them, of course, is Natasha Romanova, she is a black widow, a beautiful red -haired spy. Settled in the p.AND.T., The girl looked in time and stood on the path of a superhero. Thanks to films about the Avengers and the charm of Scarlett Johansson, playing her role, the Black Widow gained simply incredible popularity.

It’s a pity that the creators could not dignily reveal this image. But there is something to tell! Take at least youth and how the spy was prepared from it, or the story of how it got into.AND.T. Alas, Natasha was remembered only by her captivating grace and strange inconsistency in love affairs: she built her eyes Barton, then flirted with Rogers, then sympathized with Benner ..

The story of the spy Natasha Romanova began when she barely turned eleven. After the death of her parents, she ended up in a specialized boarding school, where she was taught the craft of a secret agent. Interestingly, Natasha began to study at the end of the thirties, and she should be no less than eighty. It is well preserved?

No, the fact is that during difficult preparation for her position (yes, the Black Widow is a position), Natasha took drugs similar to the serum of the Super Soldate, who once made Rogers Captain America from the goner. They gave her improved reflexes, strength and unlucking body.

However, Natasha is not the only one who was in the role of a black widow. When Madame Romanoff joined Bronze Casino sister sites the.AND.T., At home, they immediately began to prepare her replacement. She became the deadly beauty blonde Elena Belova. The former Black Widow was for Elena and the idol and the main rival. The desire to surpass his predecessor in everything sometimes went beyond the reason.

But call Elena the villain language will not turn. First of all, she was a patriot and believed in what she was doing for the country. More than once fate has forced Elena shoulder to shoulder with Natasha to fight against a common enemy. As a result, Elena also left Russian intelligence, realizing that she was only a pawn in their games. She became a free agent, but, no matter how ironic, she remained a puppet, and over and over over and over the treacherous villains used her in their plans. Still, the share of a Russian woman is heavy. Even in this wild-Dick West.

Apple from the apple tree

Brother and sister Rasputin have already become an integral part of the X -Men team. Petra, better known as the colossus, you could recently see in Deadpool, but, I admit, showed this steel giant too much one -sided. So who is the actual hero Petya Rasputin?

The future superhero was born in the village of Ust-Ordynsk near Lake Baikal. Big family, collective farm, birches are noisy … But unexpectedly, the guy manifested mutations: the skin turned into steel, and physical strength increased tenfold. At first, Peter tried to hide his capabilities, but in order to save his sister Ulyan from the tractor, he had to reveal himself.

Soon, Professor Xavier found out about this and invited Peter and Ulyana to be among the X -Men. Rasputin did not immediately agree, he did not want to awaken his strength at all at all. But Peter put the opportunity to help other mutants in first place.

And did not lose. In the years spent under the command of Xavier, the Colossus saved his friends many times and even sacrificed himself (though superheroes do not die for a long time). And his exploits did not go unnoticed. Peter is not very sociable, but for all mutants, the colossus has become almost the best friend. Because under the mountain of muscles, an incredibly bright and kind soul is hidden. Colossus can rightfully be considered the "heart" of the X -Men team.

► like this, according to the creators of the comics, a typical day in the Russian regions passes.

Together with her brother, Ulyana left for America and became part of the friendly family of mutants, where they took care of her and day after day was waiting for her strength to appear. When this happened, no one seemed to anyone. Ulyana's ability to create portals through space and time.

And the problem is that these portals pass through the other world Limbo, full of monsters. It was there that Ulyana for many years was held captive. Ulyana learned his magic and fled. From a defenseless girl, she turned not only into a mutant with incredibly powerful abilities, but also in a powerful sorceress with a magical sword. Together with Peter, they went a long journey from Siberian forests to space expanses and parallel worlds and became an important part of the X -Men team and the entire Marvel universe.

► Peter and Ulyana, it happens, quarrel, but their family ties are always in the first place.

Siberian Avengers

The "cold" war ended, the Soviet Union has broken up, and Russia had before ever needed spiritual support. The Russian government decided to go along the beaten path and get its superhero team. Winter Guard, or Winter Guard, has become a complete Russian analogue of the Avengers: here you have your captain, an iron man, and even a hulk.

Our “Captain Russia” – Red Guarder stood up at the head. Unlike Rogers, Nikolai Krylenko did not accept any serums, but was born a mutant with the ability to save and reflect any energy. But he borrowed a shield from the American colleague, although he ran to the role of the Red Guard with a sickle and hammer.

The company was compiled by the crimson Dynamo – the Soviet answer to Tony Stark, as well as one of his first sworn enemies. However, so many people have already visited the costume of crimson Dynamo since that time that everyone has already forgotten about eternal enmity.

Another member of the team was a dark star that controls the energy of Darcfort: telekinesis, flight and creation of objects from dark matter (we see something similar in a green lantern), as well as the possibility of teleportation. Well, what avenues without a Hulk? Here his role is played by a big bear, or Major Ursa Major, Bear-Wonder Workpiece. Moreover, after turning, he remains in his right mind and solid memory.

Almost all members of the winter guards used to enter the team of Soviet super -soldiers and were more likely antagonists than heroes. But now they are strongly standing guard of the world and calm of their native country, where they are loved and revered.

► It would seem that our Winter Guard and American Avengers were destined to at least once go in a big battle, but, except for a couple of fights with a halk and several skirmishes, the teams will coexist quite peacefully.

Iron curtain DC

Alas, the DC universe loses Marvel in Russian characters. Truly memorable among them, once or twice and despited. Most of our compatriots in the DC comics appear either as members of a large team, such as Anya Savennovich from the green lamps, or as supervision of supervisor with a clear bucket of cranberries. But there are a couple of pleasant exceptions.

Meet fire! Russian scientist Mikhail Arkadin was in the very center of the explosion at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, but did not turn into a handful of ash, but into the very embodiment of nuclear energy. Such as it – firechers – during an accident or experiment absorbed a huge dose of radiation and gained the ability to control matter at the molecular level: turning water into fire, earth into air, and machine guns into balloons.

Having received such power, Mikhail decided to be a hero in the service of the state. Now his name is abiding fear at anyone who will look askance in the direction of Russia, because the fire is not used to ceremony with the enemy. If the enemy deserves death, he will receive it. In a word, a harsh comrade.

And there is also a red star – no less, the first Russian superhero in the DC universe, which appeared in 1968. Leonid Kovar, along with his father-archaeologist, was next to the place of falling of an alien ship, where extraterrestrial energy made it a superman. All according to the list: inhuman force, speed, flight and rays of energy from the hands.

Of course, the party led about this and decided at all costs to “protect” her superhero from the influence of the West. But by chance, Leonid still met with the "young titans", and later joined them. The Red Star was a real patriot, because he was constantly rushing between friends and homeland. And he soon returned to Russia to guard the peace of his country.

But not all Russian superheroes served their native land. The Red Trinity appeared as a result of an experiment to create a Soviet ultra -fast man. Of course, they could not overtake flash, but the heels trampled pretty much. The Soviet government, of course, recruited them, but after meeting with Flash, the Trinity, without thinking twice, moved to America.

What can organize people running at almost the speed of light? Of course, courier service! "Capitalist courier service". In this field, they achieved simply incredible success, which is not surprising. Still, our resourcefulness is not to occupy.

► there are, for example, red rockets. It is better not to meddle in Russia while they are in the service.

Brother for his brother

Another couple of relatives, this time on the side of evil. Sergey Kravinov, aka Craven, is quite famous due to the frequent appearance in the animated series about Spider-Man, as well as as a boss in a good Spider-Man: Shattehed Dimensions. This is a greedy hunter who dreams of hanging a spider's head in his living room.

But his brother chameleon is in his shadow. The irony of fate, not otherwise, because in comics, Chameleon always tried to impress his older brother, but remained in the background. Although his story is no worse than any other villain of the Marvel universe.

Dmitry Smerdyakov was an illegitimate son Kravinov Sr., moreover, not very beautiful. Due to constant bullying, the boy hid his face under the hood or mask. From the whole family, only brother Sergei talked with him, and then more often ridicule. But Dmitry was talented and loved to amuse his brother, portraying his father or neighbors.

Later, mimication grew into something more serious. Dmitry could only copy a person’s voice, behavior, habits, movements in a minute, and with the help of makeup – and appearance. Thanks to this gift, he became an agent of secret services and continued to hide his face, and soon he generally abandoned his own appearance, preferring a faceless mask.

But even years later, he still depended on Sergey, still expected approval from him. Therefore, I decided to help Craven with Spider-Man Hunting. So thanks to the parker for reunite the brothers and gave them something in common-the enemy.

► Alexey Sitsevich, known as the rhino, is another Russian Verzila, forever chasing the spider. Recently, he became a good small and even managed to save Parker a couple of times.

Our brother Russian protoed a torona path even to the worlds of Marvel and DC, and moreover, he got a job very well there. Feel free to share your opinion in the comments and tell us what Russian characters from the pages of comics are remembered for you personally.

[Bullet]] To achieve reliable physics of tanks, the developers made a number of changes to the Arma 2 engine.

Ever since the Operation Flashpoint has come out, the idea has the idea to make the same hardcore shooter, only in the scenery of the Second World War. We all know the story of Red Orchestra, which developed from an amateur game in professional, and now in her footsteps Iron Front: Liberation 1944. This is a project grown out of mod on the Arma 2 engine. Slowly, he is overgrown with a plot, a settled setting and a physical tugging engine of artillery guns.

Our interlocutor

Vasily Patelaros

Job title : Art director

Previous work : Designer, illustrator

About yourself : I like to work a lot!

They say German

For the first time in history, a shooter about the Second World War (the action of which takes place in the territory of South Poland) is engaged in German and Russian companies. Financial support and promotiveness – on the German team X1 Software , more or less known to addons to Silent Hunter 3 And " IL-2: Sturmovik ". Russian developers from AWAR.

[[Bullet]] is amazing why the full -fledged “OFP about the Second World War” is released only now, and not ten years ago.

The original mod was made for the first Armed Assault , and then adapted to ARMA 2 (future founders AWAR were engaged in this). The new mod attracted the attention of the German publisher and will now proudly be released in a separate box.

To transfer the fighting of ARMA 2 from Chernorussia of 2009 to Poland 1944 is not as simple as it seems. This war has other rules, other distances for the use of firearms, another technique. Here you can’t just camouflage American marines under the German Die Soldaten, and the Chernozat rebels are under Soviet fighters. “Yes, our task is complicated,” agrees Vasily Patelaros, the art director of the project. – After all, we make an extremely authentic military simulator. The entire physical engine was converted, our tanks should behave precisely as the cars of the Second World War, and not the ones you saw in ARMA ".

Liberation

The main feature that the developers are ready to talk about now is a full -fledged story campaign for the Germans (there were only 10 missions for the Soviet Union in non -profit fashion). In general terms, the plot can be presented according to historical documents: we will witness the defeat of the German Army Group "Center".

[[Bullet]] The scale and details are impressive. Whether the developers will be able to save such a picture before the release?

So, Poland in hot summer of the 44th … by books like the “moment of truth” by Vladimir Bogomolov, it is easy to imagine the battles in tiny occupied towns: we stand with your back to the wall and palm with the window from the “shmaiser”, until the grenade is thrown into the room, and when it suits enemy https://sister-site.org/kaboom-slots/ reinforcement – we retreat into a dense Polish forest.

[[Bullet]] You can not only fight the Germans, but also play for them. If you want.

“Southern Poland is mainly fields, hills and villages, but we will also have city battles – explains Vasily. – you will have to fight for every building, you can go to almost every house. It will also be tactically using the features of the area: say, attack an enemy convoy from the forest. Keep in mind that in the Second World War, all shootings are carried out at medium and close distances – the weapon at that time was inaccurate and unreliable ”.

In the Soviet campaign, it will be possible to pilot the diving bombers "Pe-2" (familiar on IL-2 "pawns") and manage the heavy tanks "Joseph Stalin"; Also, both sides will converge in a plot of multiplayer.

Victory Parade

“Both single campaigns are new: original maps, exclusive equipment, fresh combat scenarios. The number of missions for the Germans and the Russians is the same ". The scale of the battles is very different: in some missions, German formations will be cooked in the Russian “Cauline”, in others we will manage small groups of Soviet intelligence officers in the enemy rear.

[[Bullet]] branded kilometer shootings from ARMA is better not to wait – weapons of seventy years ago are much less accurate than modern.

Although we spent half of Arma 2 in the Abrams tank, the physical model there was not much different from the one that was in Battlefield. In the Liberation 1944, the fighters of the Wehrmacht and the Red Army use a new, much more advanced model of damage.

[[Bullet]] here obviously suggests itself to abandon the grenade.

This is how the developers describe this: “Each combat unit has several vulnerable places. Say, you can use a lot of ammunition without even scratching the tank. And you can kill the crew, destroy the engine, set fire to a fuel tank … or even blow up the car with one successful hit in the charmed ammunition – even the tank falls off at the tank! The mass of parameters is taken into account: for example, the thickness of the armor, the angle of the projectile and the distance to the target ".

Arma 2 in historical setting – this idea has long asked for a game (which, you see, it would have met several times less people if the mod remained non -profit).

The developers approach the issue so seriously that it is possible to find out in Iron Front Arma 2 features perhaps by a branded Spartan interface. Liberation has even its own editor in which you can construct mission and campaigns. In general, while Red Orchestra shoves the way to the release, she has a very dangerous competitor. Together with a seasonal confrontation Call of Duty And Battlefield is waiting for us a much more rare struggle of two hardcore military shooters.

We will wait?

Grown up to a full -fledged game of mod, turning Arma 2 into a hardcore shooter about the Second World War.

Percent of readiness: 60%

Real Iron Front

Listen to us, the youth of the countries occupied by Hitler!

In the fateful for Germany in 1932, on the basis of military detachments of the Social Democratic Party and German trade unions, the Iron Front was created. With its help, the current President Paul von Hindenburg won the elections with Adolf Hitler and Ernst Telman (in his election fraud, who relied on brown shirts of assault detachments and a clever fist of the prohibited union of red front -line soldiers).

Iron front -line soldiers were engaged in demonstrations, street battles in the working quarters of Berlin and drawing a black circle with three white arrows. The image invented by the Russian emigrant Sergei Chakhotin symbolized the three main opponents of the front: National Socialists, Communists and the Weimar aristocracy. It was also very convenient for them to cancel already painted swastikas.

The anti-fascist organization lost relevance in 1933, after Hyndenburg Hitler’s invitation to the post of Reichscanler; but the symbol flickers on youth clothes in our time. All on the defeat of Hitler Germany!

The formula of the game

Hitman: Absolution

75% Hitman: Blood Money

15% Deus Ex: Human Revolution

5% Splinter Cell: Conviction

5% scenario -sophisticated

Steel voice, iron endurance, golden hands. Branded equanimity, as well as complete indifference to someone else's fate, was considered inseparable from the legendary killer for twelve years. Shell to protect against worldly passions. So: the shell cracked. Eidos Interactive took on the role of fairies and set out to turn the bald wooden Pinocchio into a real boy, from flesh and blood. The object, as usual, did not ask.

[[Videoid_10294]]

“Ah, what a bald head … I would like this!"

Suspicious speeches from the lines of the Danes have been poured for a long time. About terrible, chilling things – plot, drama. Why scary? Yes, because there is nothing more dangerous for free gameplay than a strong script. It is like a vertical of power and decentralization – do not get along together. When you need to throw the hero into a huge terrarium and bargain “Look!", The plot is tightly squeezing his hand and leads the attractions. In general, the struggle of the two elements. And this struggle in Hitman: Absolution can be traced from beginning to end.

► Fireplaces – not a trace of the buses "Delorian", but the route of the movement of a person. Soon the character will fall into our paws.

Since the reference Blood Money Agent 47 has not forgotten so many tricks – only peeping in the keyhole. Where big loss – card. Instead of a detailed plan of the level with markers of inhabitants, security, police and goals, a named laptop of forty -seventh shows detailed information on committed outrages, inventory, the purpose of the mission with comments and trials, for which the final account of the mission (for example, “chameleon” is increased: to get all possible costumes in location).

The principles of the game remained unchanged. There is a kid in an expensive suit, and there is a person who linge in this world. He does not want to die, so he protects himself with security, police or simply mistakes in crowded places. Fans of shooting can forget about the stealth genre and with corpses to https://sister-site.org/pink-riches/ pave the way to the target. Audertia of quiet passage, as usual, penetrate the holy of saints with the help of a disguise – the same chip that makes Hitman special.

► double mirrors – the best invention of mankind. So the Hitman likes.

Hitman traditionally uses changing clothes. All NPCs at the level are divided into several social groups: guards, servants, cleaners, etc.D. Naturally, their access level is different – they will not be allowed porpoles into cordoned premises, and an electrician – to the police station.

► Counting the ribs in hand -to -hand combat is hard, but fun. Context-dependent buttons are slightly confused.

Impatiented in the kitchen – lick the cook and a foam on the back of his head with a chock. Or a bottle. Yes, anything-sneaking up to someone from the back, a true silent killer, expiring saliva, will definitely suffer, choose a way of neutralization. In Absolution, there were even more (although syringes with sleeping pills almost disappeared), and the main one – to strangle with their bare hands. Not to death, but to fainting. Because extraneous murders spoil the rating. A branded string-decoration is worthy of only the purpose of the contract! As for the rest … They will be carefully strangled by powerful and affectionate hands Tobias Ripper to the accompaniment of his quiet "shhh". There is no time to be gentle? Well, then turn your neck like a chicken-broiler, remove the uniform from a lifeless body and reincarnate.

► Before the forcibly laying bainki, agent 47 overturn the victim to the ground. Very prudent.

THIS IS INTERESTING: "Manual" reprisal clearly inspired Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Adam Jensen, however, “euthanized” the victims much louder than his genetically modified competitor. And did not leave them to snore in a reconciliation place, like "Openced" Corvo Attano.

Put on their board? It is time to eliminate the goal. The killings in Hitman have ceased to be stunningly diverse, but their number will still envy the whole dynasty Assassinov. Hastering entities may not fool around with creeping and shoot the target from the Silverboller with a silencer, maniacs – cut off an ax, throw a knife, blow up. Accidents also remained, but often intra -game statistics simply call them reference murders and does not give the highest rating. There are gas stoves, and high balconies, tension fences, can with fuel oil, gas station … The top of the grace is to provoke a shootout. Well, a falling chandelier as a symbol of the concept of "accident".

Here are bananas, there are no bananas ..

Nominally Absolution is wider and deeper than their ancestors. But the schemes mentioned above work not everywhere. Not every chapter with a clone with a strangle receives an order. More than once or twice, you will be offered to “get around the cops”, and indeed our Zhivchik with a barcode often converts into game unusually from the hunter.

As a rule, these levels look like several intertwined corridors. There is no saving faceless crowd here, the killer is left alone with law enforcement officers or organized crime. The legendary killer runs from corner to corner, hides in garbage boxes and generally behaves atypically: either as a tipsy Solid Snape, either as a bum Sam Fisher. Clear, such episodes are annoying, and there is no stimulus to pass them without noise and dust. At the same time, it will not come out to pile up to all reiders a la Steven Sigal-trampling-s.

Another extremely important aspect – disguise – also suffered from innovation. In a nutshell: all techniques know each other in the face, the substitution will be spotted in two accounts. They pulled the overalls – if you please other guys in the same form to bypass by roundabout paths. The rest of the people will not say you words. Also with all segments of the population: the cops will calculate the stranger with the icon by the mile away, and the bandits or club bouncers will only smile and joke after.

On the difficulties above average, this “realism” will show its sharp rotten teeth: the rate of face recognition will reach the ugly magnitude. Second – and anxiety. Two – and kaput. Hitman: Absolution, instead of arrogant walks in someone else's suit, offers running running from shelter to shelter. Rolls, hide and seek around the corner, gatherings in the closet – just not to catch my eye, because it is fraught with universal anxiety. The way out, although not the best, is to play in medium and low complexity-then the costumes will allow, albeit cautiously, but openly move along the location.

► Red arrows indicate those who suspected the Hitman. The ax, by the way, can be thrown into the head – lovely, the truth?

These two seemingly deadly strokes managed to compensate. Instinct – an analogue of Bruce Wayne's detective regime in Batman: Arkham City – allows you to see through the walls of people (and the goals – through half a card) and the ways of their movement, notice important details of the environment. And most importantly – deceives enemies! A suspicious bandit looks at you? Squeezed the button, forty -seventh shyly turns the face pale and floods the hat on the eyes. Voila – a bandit scratches the back of the head, but the stranger does not touch. It looks played up, but useful. And it is spent at a frightening speed: two or three spying will devour the entire scale of the instinct, and then the mummarly killer with all the guts. On high complexity, the flair dry out instantly, and the passage is difficult by an order of magnitude.

Instinct can be spent more fun. For this, a system is disposed of like Mark & Execute from the notorious Splinter Cell: Conviction. Stopped time, chose goals, shot everyone in half a second.

This is important: In all parts of Hitman, it was always possible to survive during the mission. But in the first two, say, loading the preservation before the start of universal panic, you could face this same panic, although it should not be. In Contracts and Blood Money, the number of conservations was strictly limited depending on the level of complexity. Absolution managed to combine both approaches, only instead of saving here control points. The higher the complexity, the smaller. Each acts once – to return to the point and you can’t survive again. Finding points is difficult. Moreover – after loading the level will “roll back” to the starting version! Cut enemies will again patrol the territory, as if nothing had happened. Especially happy when you neutralized a twenty man, accidentally sensed and decided to replay the last couple of minutes.

Alien among his own

Usually a person recognizes a familiar face in a quarter of a second. So the eidos was still done. Dared to get into the skin of a cop? Prepare for the fact that “colleagues” will need only a couple of seconds to look at you point blank to take it to clean water. So that this does not happen, do not stand a pillar. Use the environment!

Layman

The purposeful gaze of the agent is 47 who you want will make you doubt your own safety. Even in an ordinary suit is not a sin to pretend to be a hose. Take the brochure and look at her, not the victim.

Cook

Nobody sits idle in the kitchen. The cook is moving away from work and does not even pretend to be busy with something? So his conscience is unclean. So, his black soul does not belong to the culinary cause. So this is the same – so they will calculate you.

But the alignment changes if the same one rises into the samovar pose and lowers his eyes to the ownerless pan, in which, in addition to the spoon, only the success of his operation is cooked. Colleagues will appreciate the resourcefulness and take a cold-blooded killer for an ordinary kitchen loan.

Cleaner

“Oh my god, dirt! Let me remove her!" – it is these thoughts, according to others, are spinning in the head of the guy with a mop, who almost wiped a hole in the parquet. What an annoying mistake! Meanwhile, the false earner is viciously looking around, thinking whether he will have enough cartridges to get to the exit?

Police officer

You can’t just take and deceive the law enforcement officers. The form is not enough – you need to know professional habits. Of course, we watched enough crazy militants to cut down on the nose – donuts! Only a ponder closed in his hand will convince the sheriff of your professional fit. It is not necessary to have it: the flour spoils the figure. Just drill him with a crown look.

Found a dance floor? Jack! Call friends-cops soon and light the whole company to the old, but cool music! When you get tired, you can leave funny policemen to hang out in order to walk around the surroundings with impunity, purring a funeral marching under your nose.

Never Stirlitz was so close to failure

So it turns out: in the same hitman we will play in fits. Open levels alternate with linear races, only the latter still more. There are few landfills for checking the skills of the killer: China-town, striptease bar, provincial town of Hope. This game begins only here in these compact locations with a small but working ecosystem. In some places you will find entire crowds of passers-by, among which Heathman is hiding no worse than Ezio Auditor. Not a couple Mardi-grade festival from Hitman: Blood Money, but still. However, attach yourself: after rare fraguine, the plot again drags the bald to the gorge.

► Never still ventilation has been so believable and useful.

Oh yes … The plot that decided to humanize a soulless tumor. Not to say that Hitman suddenly became a deep character with a confusing network of motives, fears and desires. It’s just that Diana Bernwood, who coordinated the action of the bald clone, managed to stir the wrong string that strangles, but those strings that are stretched in the soul. Over the years of collaboration, Heytman got too strong to her.

When Diana handed over the agency to the powerful of this world and our impassive pro received an order for her, he began to worry: how is it like that? For so many years shoulder to shoulder, and … but it is business. But Mrs. Bernwood, taking advantage of the right, so to speak, the last desire, bequeaths his killer to look after Victoria, an extraordinary girl who needs to be protected from the agency. Here, forty -seventh again ceases to be tormented by vague doubts and flies towards a new goal.

► The boss is not very happy to escape the forty -seventh of the ranks of the agency. Which, mind you, looks like a shift even after a recent defeat.

THIS IS INTERESTING: The principle of "Sherche la Fam" is especially loved by modern developers. So, a male fire under number 47 is chasing a stolen Victoria. The main character Deus Ex: Human Revolution is looking for scientist Magan Reed from Sarif Indastries. Korvo killer during Dishonored is followed by a stolen princess. Sam Fisher at Splinter Cell: Conviction suffered from a stolen daughter. However, the ancestor of tradition is still alive – how he saved Mario his lover, so to this day and saves.

► I am sure that Victoria is able to go herself. But someone clearly decided to increase the degree of love and tenderness, hoisting the girl in the hands of Hitman.

If you break away from the stone emotions of our hero, the local script is not bad. Traitors betray, former bosses are eager to punish the fugitive, bad guys want profit. Spectacular scenes and other attributes of that contradictory phenomenon that youth calls “kinz”. Well, an extraordinary (exactly, capital) young lady with innocent eyes, because of which they didn’t untie the war. Here it is already smells of not rough hands from the Eidos Vikings, but by the soft paws of the Japanese from Square Enix, which prefer to wind drama and atmosphere. And not replace the story with a set of briefings.

Wholesale and retail orders

A widely advertised contract system is not an empty phrase, as we feared it. There was no multiplayer in Hitman, except for the record table in Blood Money. "Contracts" allow you to create missions yourself and put on display.

So, contracts. They are created by the same players as you, based on plot missions. How? Just in words and it is difficult in practice: we choose three NPCs at the level and appoint them victims. We kill them with a certain weapon, in a certain suit, hide or do not hide the body, arrange a brawl or turn everything quietly – your result will become the terms of the contract. For example, they stabed that cook in a cozy corner, blew the werewolf in uniform, threw a certain criminal face from the balcony, and someone else should repeat the same thing to the exit. So the contract turns out. They saved, named, released.

The fulfillment of the conditions is awarded with cash bonuses: you can buy improvements for weapons or disguise for earned dollars, which could not be dispersed in the campaign.

At first glance, the system is doomed to failure. The goals eliminated according to the plot are in general of the condominium from active points, where it is necessary to arrange a tragedy. Of course, if you have chosen a random person, no one will rebuild the level so that he gets into all traps intended for the original victim. This is not as bad as it seems: wild conditions force to think something outstanding with improvised means, and not put pressure on all the buttons, having studied the location by heart. The problem lies in another. To pour for hours over Hitman: Absolution, it would be nice to become her passionate amateur. It is much harder than becoming a fan of the same Blood Money, where without any contracts the scope for hooliganism is much wider.

► Gloomy one -eyed type with a patch on the nose Patiently waits in the bar. His Patlata PSYICH PARENTED went to "equipment" for work.

It is strange to say this: Absolution is better than the previous part – the Standard of the series. But not entirely! The arithmetic mean does not justify our hopes. Only a few chapters are what we were waiting for – a hospitable sandbox, albeit smaller than before.

Everything else is a mixture from a clone conviction, Max Payne 3 and random scenes that we observe from shelters (the very innovation that suggested from the announcement). With amazing graphics, by the way, – interpoplatformation came only the blues in the background in some situations. The question was whether it was worth sacrifice to the scriptwriters to sacrifice, remains open.

"It’s tome to Kick Ass and Chew Bubble Gum!"

For many years, American cinema taught us that a bar is the best place for a glorious fistun battle. Without fear, enter the beer. Forget for a minute about your killer entity. Remove the strangle in a distant pocket so as not to lose. One awkward blow – and one and a half hundred visitors of Kantina instantly recall the old grievances in order to tie the asses to neighbors, boss, postman and there that is the bald dick, from which it is written that he is not local! Hey Bobby, turn on something funny!

Boobs

They flashed everywhere at a party in Hitman: Contracts, They shone where necessary and not necessary in Hitman: Blood Money. In Hitman: Absolution, they finally gained physical shape. Let them sway like jelly, and only vaguely resemble their real prototype with the movement, but the attempt is counted. And not one: the dancers have in the Fox Bar, the girl’s girlfriend has a cowboy from the village of Hope, at the saints, and even the belly of Verzila Sanchez, swaying like jelly -like breasts.

FINE

Instead of a whole Hitman, we are treated with a cross between the simulator of the killer and having nothing to do with our expectations of races in close corridors. The canonical open levels, although they crushed, remained rich in interesting finds. But the corridors drag absolution down.
