[Multiplatform] Rockstar's making Manhunt 2 for the Wii, PS2 and PSP

Moving this to General and edited the topic title appropriately.

I'm still cautiously expectant of this. On one hand, Manhunt was a unique, brilliantly built game with exceptionally strong setting and audio design, superb structure and genuinely chilling concept, not to mention Brian Cox's voice was such a big part of the whole experience, it simply can't be done again. On the other hand, the first game was far from a large commercial hit, so there's got to be more to this sequel than a committee meeting, and it might just turn out to be something really special.

Either way, I highly suspect Daniel is some kind of mental patient, or at least held at some very corrupt/messed up ward. The story won't necessarily revolve around snuff films this time around, a manhunt can be done in other circumstances as well.

Just as long as they don't try for some bullshit freeroaming crap, I'm sure I'll like it. Probably not as much as the first, but hopefully it'll be able to stand on its own rather than simply look less.



EDIT:
Just realized no one's linking the official teasers or site.

When I spoke of Daniel, I of course mean Daniel Lamb from the teasers, who's apparently the protagonist of the game. Wimpier looking than Cash, Juan hilariously pointed out last night he looks like me.

I wonder if they'll bother with a PAL version at all? Did the first one get banned over there? They released it here for a few months before deciding to ban it.

"Here you go QUICK QUICK"
"Oooh, OOOH"
"Haha no, so sorry little Timmy, too slow. I'll be taking this"
"But but but, I just paid for it!"
"Hahaha"

Didn't they ban 18-rated games entirely now? ;_;

Either way, first game was released here and we've had no issues about selling 18-rated games here, so hopefully anything in the UK or US won't affect the rest of Europe (except Germany lol no Smash Bros or FF7 4 u), but we'll see.

I'll probably order the US version from dvdvboxoffice anyway. Unless of course that gets a brunt snip as well.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

It's not even a rumor when the guy just makes a sourceless/nameless "quote" and comments "Wow".

I think it's a load of bull, but people not familiar with either game are already taking it as if it was official.

I know Rockstar doesn't shy away from pushing the limits, but it's not stupid, and rape/necrophilia is something even they wouldn't do.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

But the interactivity of killing in games is apparently relevant only when the graphic content is extreme.

Observe EA's Medal of Honor games and Black, with their lack of blood (granted, Black is M, while something like Frontline is T). The act of shooting someone in the head it precisely the same, but the result is less realistic and could be considered more damaging on the frail mind.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I'm getting mixed info on the leaked Manhunt 2, though. Uploader will write hyperbole about uncut dutch (because lol not banned in NL, as if that matters when the rest of europe didn't get it either) version, while another talks about leaked beta. And I dunno about you, but leaked beta aren't that finished most of the time.

Granted, I still intend to download it, just in case eventual the European release will be touched up as well.

I was speaking idiomatically.
