Hotline Miami 2 was originally announced as coming out in 2013 and was pushed back multiple times, including a last-minute push back from a holiday 2014 release. Considering that the pig butcher was something they showed off so heavily when they first announced it and how in the final game he's practically an afterthought with no connection to the main plot it feels like they were going to do a straightforward sequel about the pig butcher but then came up with the story we got in the final game and scrapped most of it.

Wasn't it originally going to be additional content for HM1? I don't think they scraped any part of the pig butcher story, I think they just decided to expand on the content and create a much larger story. That's why the pig's story is mostly self contained.

Actually if you go all the way back to the first trailers for HM1, the Pig was the main character. So he's obviously an idea they've been sitting on for a long, long time here.

I just noticed something weird: the Panda mask is the only one that didn't appear in HLM1.

The guy behind the couch next to the boxes has on Rasmus, and inside the boxes is several masks: Jake, Aubrey, Dennis, Richard, Tony, Jones, and Richter. The barback is wearing a Dennis mask and there is Jake and Tony masks on the counter.

Who are you, mysterious panda bartender? What is your story?

Don't you get it? Jacket escaped before bomb went off. That's why Payday never goes to Florida and the West Coast.

Turns out prisons are also effective bomb shelters. Miami is now entirely ruled by violent criminals who escaped prison, but nobody notices any difference between pre and post nuke.

Yeah, Mark has been in Payday for quite some time. Hell, even before the Mark there was a pig mask with this description

I've been trying to figure out all the various songs for things that aren't levels. So far I've figured out:

Untitled (Green Kingdom) - main theme
dust - Level end theme
Blizzard - The Fans' theme
Wandering (Around) aimlessly - Evan's theme
Miss Minnie - The Son's theme
Black Tar - Newgame+/Bar of Broken Heroes theme
She Meditates - Fans outro theme
Rust - The Soldier's theme
Simma Hem - Jake's theme
Hollywood Heights - Pig Butcher's theme
Richard (Life Companions) - Richard's theme
Untitled (Dag Ungene) - Henchman's theme
Interlude - Rising intro cutscene (?)

Any additions/corrections anyone can make would be cool.

Speaking of Twitch, now that the Steam version of it is active, it's REALLY loving fun watching your friends play Hotline. I've never understood the appeal of watching other people play games online, but it's great watching people I actually know as opposed to YouTube losers.

I've been having a ton of fun watching my buddy take the game a few levels at a time while we joke around over mumble, yeah. Actually just been using the Steam streaming thing, which I think has less of a delay.

Yeah, that's what I'm talking about, the "watch game" or whatever function in Steam. We went back and forth watching each other play Hotline and Nuclear Throne for awhile, it's great

Considering Richter cares about his mom and should definitely have been aware of the Russian invasion years ago, he must've realized how stupid an idea it was to take her there. Staying in Miami isn't much better, nuke notwithstanding, but at least he knows the place well enough to avoid anyone who would take a crack at him.

He's still a wanted fugitive, so going back to Miami is right out.

Eh, I can sorta see it. It'd be like moving from east berlin to the USA. Yeah there'd still be prejudice and so on from the war but it's probably better off. Sort of at least,.

Pig Butcher was originally the main character and a lot of sprites are leftover in the game.

Little late on this but Guided Meditation is pretty much Manny's theme, it plays at all of his murder scenes at least, and Java which I really only remember playing in the intro to the first soldier mission
