LONDON, March 13 — If you’ve ever wanted to truly immerse yourself in a game, well Realm Pictures is perhaps an expert in creating what it calls ‘real-life’ experiences of video game.

Its track record was impressive enough that game studio IO Studios commissioned Realm to create a real-life experience for its new game Hitman.

Hitman’s premise sees you controlling a super-skilled assassin and locating marks. In the video, several people are put in isolated booths and made to feel as though they were the assassin’s handlers.

The results are somewhat amusing as the various teams take different approaches. Some go to great lengths to avoid hurting civilians, while one gamer was blasé enough to just let the assassin kill anyone in the way. The ‘Hitman’ franchise has spawned quite a few games, including a turn-based variation on Go. — Picture courtesy of Square Enix Montreal
