Cloud Ghost posted:The PTSD bit is what really invalidated HM1 Jacket. For me anyway. I always perceived his characters as just some guy who's a bit unhinged and really good at killing,. Both of those are still true, but in a way that's too real. He's now unhinged because he suffers from a serious mental disorder and is really good at killing because he's a war veteran. It's not that HM2 Jacket is inherently a bad character. Without HM1, I'd think he's fine. But I preferred his character when he was more akin to a Slasher villain or an ambiguous Driver type of guy. Having his actions linked to something more sympathetic just sort of makes HM1 a bit uncomfortable. I don't think you entirely understood HM1 in the first place if that's actually much of a change. It's supposed to be deeply, deeply uncomfortable.

So has anyone made a story guide yet that places the events of both games in chronological order? Seems like it would make it a lot easier to piece it all together.

First all the stuff with the Ghost Wolves happens. Then HM1 happens. Then everything else from HM2 happens. Right? The only tricky part is that HM1 and HM2 are themselves both non-linear. (And HM1 isn't even wholly consistent, although most of that is resolved by being Jacket's coma dream)

Irony Be My Shield posted:Jake's stuff is from before HM1. I think some of Richter's might be too? Jake's stuff could kinda take place anyways, but yeah you're probably right. Richter's stuff, yeah. At first I was thinking of Richter but then I couldn't think of what exactly was in a different time. But yeah, that stuff with his mom and where he first starts working for 50 blessings is pre-HM1, because that's before he gets sent after Jacket. In HM1 Jacket and Biker's stories happen parallel, and in HM2 the fans and the son's stories happen parallel.

Here's my rough version: Hawaii invasion San Francisco bombing. Richter's missions Hotline Miami 1 (possibly coinciding with Richter's missions) The HM2 stuff is sort of interconnected. The Fans/Henchman/Son definitely ends before Pardo. Pardo comes across the aftermath of the Son going nuts. Jake's is a bit of a weird one because Evan examines his personal affects, and Pardo is definitely on the "You should focus on the Miami Mutilator" kick rather than the Fans/50 Blessings.

Ddraig posted:Here's my rough version: Pardo and Evan and Richter all live to see the Nuke, so their stories end last. But Pardo's story begins long before The Son dies. He's investigating the actions of The Fans as he's busy doing his own work. I figured Jake was like The Fans or Martin Brown and came after Jacket, but I guess he could be more like Jake or Richter too, just part of the initial 50 blessings phone calls. I guess he'd have to be since the phone calls stop, in retrospect. Somebody needs to just write down all the in-game dates.

Irony Be My Shield posted:You find Jake dead in HM1. That's right. I keep forgetting because he wasn't the character he is now back then more than just a dead guy with a mask, and because I triggered the special ending for Jake the first time where he dies to 50 blessings guy, so in my head that's how he dies in canon, but in reality that's a bonus and he dies in the battle and then his body is left for HM1.

Isn't the final cut the only level that doesn't give a date? Ignoring that it obviously takes place at the same time as the detective's nightmare.

Tony, the last surviving Fan, is shot dead by Detective Pardo. ▪ 27th (?) - Detective Pardo has a nightmare in which he, exposed as Miami Mutilator, fights his way through a police station and gets shot down at the exit.

Dennis Wedin did an AMA. http://www.reddit.com/r/HotlineMiami/comments/331up5/i_am_dennis_wedin_of_dennaton_games_ama/ Pertinent information: - We already knew that the level editor would let you play as Biker and Jacket, but now we know that Jacket will be able to wear any mask from HM1 as well. - Custom intro and outro cutscenes will be possible. Custom characters and sprites will not, but they may add it in the future... maybe... probably not. - The story of HM2 was mostly made up after the fact, though apparently they knew about the photo/Beard's history beforehand while making HM1. - Dennaton is taking a break from game development, but they already have their next project lined up. It's a new IP and isn't top-down. - Wedin's favorite level from either game is Execution, his favorite song Sexualizer. - HM1 music in the level editor probably isn't happening. They've had some problems with the record labels of artists in the first game, meaning they probably won't be able to reuse it in any context. - Pig butcher was never meant to be in HM1, despite all signs to the contrary. - Dennaton doesn't really care about Bloodbath Kavkaz, though they did ask them to remove the "Hotline" from their name. - Future of the level editor on the PS3 version is uncertain.
