Instinct slow motion

[iBN Demashq™ ☪]

is it possible to have the same feature of Hitman:Absolution where there's a slow mo instict aim shooting animation? that was amazing and would be awesome to have this feature in this Hitman series, why is it not in this series?

Because the games are supposed to be stealth.

Because Point Shooting was a mechanic for an extremely casual shooter, while Hitman is a tactical stealth game.

Hitman is a stealth series, combat exists so that you aren't failed when you break stealth. Absolution tried to be more linear, story driven and action oriented and fans didn't like that so with 2016 and this they went back to the stealth focus.
I'd even go so far as to say the combat is intentionally as 'bad' as it is and with as little features to dissuade people from playing as a crazed gunman and push people towards a proper professional assassin playstyle where a shootout is a very last resort.

Ye, hold left shift while aiming a rifle type weapon for tactical slow-motion.

Edit: You can only slow time by aiming sniper rifles, assult rilfes and shotguns don't count.

Because Absolution sucked. It never happened. The whole thing was a dream.

Didn't the people behind it even say they regretted having 47 as old as he looked in Absolution?

Actually Absolution is still canon, there are several references to it in Hitman 2016 (the mirror kills in the intro sequence, Blake Dexters brother talking about how he's now in charge of the company, stuff like that). It was still a bad Hitman game and it's story has practically no impact on the current Hitman games due to the 6 year timegap, but it's still canon.
