I think it's means "pick-up", to show you that whatever you're standing over or next to can be picked up. Which is useful if you're looking for the hidden masks because they kinda blend in with the scenery.

Ah excellent, thank you!

I find it kinda funny that people who are apparently fed up of waiting keep making Dial Tone trailers in different engines. Looking forward to the Minecraft one, myself.

Though to be fair it's a really good trailer. Watch it again.

It's apparently cross-buy as well. So I guess another thing to do while waiting for Destiny.

So does that mean if we already own it we can just download it on ps4?

No release date yet, however.

For a few, brief moments it said the release date was tomorrow.

Also I just recently got into Carpenter Brut and coincidentally one of their tracks is the trailer song. It's a small, violent world. :allears:

I'm kind of concerned that it'll end up being a 2015 release. I hope that the dev time is indicative of a fairly longer game. The number of chapters in HLM was about right for Jacket but with 8+ characters to play as it'd need to be longer I think.

I was just thinking that before, yeah. Especially with how radically different the characters play.

That's a thing as well. I hope you can replay levels as any character.

I'm thinking that a quirk of the detective is that you can't execute enemies. Because the player clearly knows how to do executions, he does them immediately on the next stage, and when he's the detective he starts off by walking over top of downed enemies as if he's trying to execute them.

It might've changed, but earlier footage and the 2 level PAX demo a friend got a hold of has the detective execute people with guns.

His levels take place during or prior to HLM.

I also realized it was him, not the blonde guy, who was shaving in the Dial Tone trailer. :v:

Had to fix your typo. It's a fantastic crossover. Namely since Overkill seems to love Hotline, given how many Hotline related masks there are in the game. Especially Peter, the latest free mask, being a straight-up rip pretty much.

The stealth section is bad, but did you ever take the time to notice the stark differences between it and the rest of the game? It may be consequential rather than deliberate, but it does a good job of showing why Hotline Miami works.

Because throwing knives into dudes' faces is a great way to come down from the coke binge that is Hotline Miami.

It's deliberate I'd imagine, as Cactus/Dennis Wedin both said on Twitter that they were satisfied with the level.

The Biker levels are the best part of the game though. I hope we'll be able to use him or his playstyle in HLM 2's level editor.

I guess I had fun in HLM when I figured I could just run and gun and now have to slam my head into the wall until I lucked out and got through. At the end it became obvious to me that there was an exact way of having to do something and that totally sucked the fun out of it. Thought I had finally gotten through the game then I get the biker levels. I can't pick up weapons and if I lose my throwing knives I'm pretty much screwed in regard to dudes with guns. Of which there are always more than you have knives.
What I'm saying is that by the end the way I had to play the game, or the way the game was making me play, was not how I had fun the rest of it. So I have up, again, in the second biker chapter.

Diesel Fucker

Yeah the biker levels are more "puzzle" orientated than Jacket's levels. You have to pick and choose exactly where to use your knives otherwise you're hosed.

It's still pretty boss charging through a room cleaving dudes in half though. I guess it's pretty much the knife but with a bit more range, but the fact you leave such a blood mess in your wake doesn't half make you feel more tank-like.

Dear diary, I got another erection today at work. SO embarrassing, but kinda hot. The CO asked me to fix up his dress uniform. I had stayed late at work to move his badges 1/8" to the left and pointed it out this morning. 1SG spanked me while the CO watched, once they caught it. Tomorrow I get to start all over again...
