I seriously doubt I will ever play New Game + with Corvo. I'm not big into mods, cheats, or God-Mode. So for me, the question will probably be unanswered.

However, I researched more into the subject. Art direction and story elements were obviously approved and worked on in a collaborative element with Harvey Smith and other Arkane Studios devs (which we already knew).

Taking that into consideration:
 * The comics are considered canon, and except for a few art pieces on the covers of certain comics, Corvo nearly always appears sans hood when he wears the mask.
 * The live-action trailer was filmed with developers from Arkane Studios and a film crew; during said trailer Corvo never wears a hood, even @ 1:17 when the actor mimics the iconic cover of the Dunwall City Trials DLC.
 * The devs made Corvo's doppel without the hood.

Therefore, the question becomes when does he actually wear the hood in-game and not just in concept art, since it seems to me Arkane Studios is highly leaning toward the 'hoodless' version in everything Corvo does.
