I always thought it was that Jacket won the fight, but didn't actually splatter Biker's brains out all over the floor

Biker still has his wound from when Jacket's winning (but not killing) blow smashes his helmet open

I was planning on doing a Hotline Miami costume. Maybe get a random animal mask and make up a character.

Or put on 200 pounds and get a snake mask and nunchaku :v:

If you're talking about the throwdown it's basically the Biker fight except you have to dodge until you get a weapon thrown in. He will go down in a single hit from that.

To answer your question with a bit of sincerity, no one knows. It was rumored to be March 16th but since that has come and gone, no one knows, and no one from Devolver or Dennaton is talking.

Releasing incomplete/unstable content with warning labels or w/e pretty much always guarantees a flood of loud complaints about how incomplete'/unstable it is. Even if there's a barrier that you have to click through that says "THIS ISN'T FINISHED YET"

I'm not entirely sure what it is, but it's kind of one of my favorite parts of the song. The best of the lyrics I can decipher is this. The first two lines I have almost no idea about, but my guess is.

e: I guess it's hard to describe but the sample very much sounded like an old style western animation soundtrack. The Internet Archive usually holds all kinds of stuff like that and it would probably be the kind of place people would go for strange, obscure samples.

My google fu skills are excellent :madmax:

Someone's theory from reddit:

Some guy posted:

Sorry for repost. So, I have a weird theory about Abyss that will probably be instantly disproved, but hey, that's the fun of theories, eh? So In HM1 we have two branching timelines: Jacket wins the battle at Phonehom, and Biker wins the battle at Phonehom. So indulge me for a sec, HM2 follows Jackets story right?, in HM1 we saw Jake's body in hot&heavy, which takes place long after neighbours, right? What if Biker's timeline is the one where Jake collects the floppy disk for Evan to find, and then dies in the 50B HQ as opposed to the spa in Hot&Heavy? In Abyss, why is 50B HQ in disrepair?, after all it was supposed to function as a bomb shelter, right? So why has 50B abandoned their sole method of surviving the nuclear blasts. Because 50B are no more. The Janitors are dead. Biker killed them. All the various animal masked assassins have stopped getting phone calls and now feel lost, they seek each other out and locate the HQ and start living there as a way of re-initiating the Miami killing sprees. Abyss takes place in Biker's timeline. It is it's own level that basically serves as a sequel to Biker's story, it's the last mission in the "continue game" level select, just like Biker's were. This theory also explains why there is a guy wearing Jacket's Richard mask, Jacket is dead, he died in Phonehom, and somebody took the mask off his body just like HM2 Tony did with HM1 Tony. Thoughts?

Makes sense to me. I thought it was interesting.

Where'd the bomb shelter thing come from? It's been a few years since 50 Blessings came under heavy scrutiny what with Jacket's rampage and criminal investigation, no wonder they'd abandon their old digs and go underground. It always looked more like a creepy paramilitary compound than an actual emergency shelter, anyway.

The fact that the killers in the back are sporting 19 of the original HLM masks (with a chance for some of the missing ones laying around, like Earl, Graham and Jake) gives me the vibe that it's a fourth wall something-or-other where your search for answers is countered by the first game personally telling you to gently caress off.

e: did the first game have any reference to a NE 101st Street? That's the only other address we can see on the disk printouts.

He doesn't have either, it stood out to me when I went in to screenshot and count the gang. It's an actual mask and not an Uncle Richard story trip.
