MONKET posted:Death Wish.avi  Game is officially announced for March 10th! Pre-order now!http://store.steampowered.com/app/274170/  Nobody cares how edgy or PC you are about rape Hotline Miami is a top-down action game released in 2012 for the PC by Jonatan "Cactus" Söderström and Dennis Wedin. It delved into the neon soaked underbelly of 1980s Miami crime in an intense (and intensely violent) frenzy of hazy rage. Semi-recently Hotline Miami was announced to be coming out on PlayStation 3 and PS Vita on June 25 for $10/£7.29/€8.99. The PlayStation version comes with trophies, touch-based lock-on for the Vita, leaderboards, and earlier access to a new mask, Russel the Raging Bull. (It was noted that Russel would "probably come in a patch" for the PC later on. It's also a cross-buy title, so one purchase gains players access to both versions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKTXLwfvOTI  Set (Mostly) in the 90s, Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number is the sequel slated for release in  It wouldn't be Hotline Miami without a phenomenal soundtrack, and so far Wrong Number is living up to the first game. Some artists, such as M|O|O|N and Perturbator will be returning alongside new artists like Tape. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MfbdxS9o4j0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qXOw9R-EPU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svyCX2qHWXU Dennis Wedin has indicated that Wrong Number will try to evoke a greater range of emotions then the original with a stronger focus on narrative, while not detracting from the gameplay. The story will center on a variety of characters and points in time both before and after the events of Hotline Miami 1. Other then the thus-far announced Pig Butcher and the Fans, we'll be hearing about more characters as the game's release comes nearer. So far, it certainly seems more brutal then even the first game's astounding violence.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YcIgabcx-9Q https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oh3DV-2LaAg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=beUrlDwf56w Finally, Rock Paper Shotgun has their impressions thus far if you're into that sort of thing. http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2013/06/19/revealed-hotline-miami-2-wrong-number/ Time will tell if Wrong Number lives up to the first game, but either way, it'll be a ride. Edit:  Reveal trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qi_vTEHvuyk Sounds of animals fighting trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbf2zPbk5pY Several months after the release of Wrong Number, an enterprising fellow going by spncryn on moddb and Reddit decided to make a full-sized new game taking place 20 years or so after the events of Hotline Miami 2's final (chronological) scene. Midnight Animal features a brand-new story, new mask powers, weapons, characters, enemy types and even whole new gameplay features. It's been officially supported by Dennis Wedin and Jonaton Soderstrom, as well as a number of musicians featured in both Hotline Miami games, as well as some who weren't. Midnight Animal is currently set to be release August 16, 2016 with a shareware-style demo titled For This Dear Flag to come by the end of February. Midnight Animal will has been greenlit on Steam, and will be completely free. The creator has a Patreon which he has clearly stated won't impact the quality of the mod, but if you enjoy it and want to support him personally in his efforts after it's completion, it's there for that. https://www.patreon.com/spncryn?ty=h Visual altering masks examples:   Mod screenshots:   Cuntellectual fucked around with this message at 02:12 on Feb 3, 2016 |

Is it just me, or has HLM gotten REALLY buggy all of a sudden? I've never had any problems other then with Fun and Games when the game had just came out, but I can't finish Overdose now because the game keeps flipping out and dieing.

In light of the earlier conversations, this should hopefully prevent them from being an issue. http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2013/09/05/hotline-miami-devs-reconsidering-sexual-assault-scene The long short of it is, Cactus and Dennis Wedin reflected on the response to the contraversy. They decided to take it out of the demo, and re-asses if it'll be in at all. Also noteworthy is the term "female characterS". Sounds like there's quite a few characters yet to be seen. Lastly, I can't find the article, but Dennis mentioned the movie director had met Jacket during the previous game, and someone who completely had no source claimed that Pig Butcher is Jacket. It'll be interesting to see how it plays out. Requested_Username posted:So any word on a release date yet? "I guess you could say snow will be falling when the game is released", so assumedly Q1 2014. Delaio posted:-Zebra Mask - allows you to climb through windows Tony is "Fists of Fury - No Weapons". Which raises a question of the Producer-styled enemies returning. Cuntellectual fucked around with this message at 08:40 on Sep 17, 2013 |

So, the latest patch fixed a few of the bugs making the game really easy. Namely you can be shot when executing an enemy, you can be shot when you're right up against a guy and dogs will whip around to kill you. Unrelatedly, I tweeted Dennis Wedin asking if the Biker would be in HLM2 or not and he said that 'You'll find out!'. If the Biker and Jacket are both in HLM2 I won't know what to think.

This is a nice Biker cosplay. Simple and effective. Found it on Twitter a few days ago. Unrelatedly, apparently there was a few plot details leaked. Who knows if they're true. The director is the bearded man from the previous game. He met Jacket at some point and that inspired him to make the movie. Jacket is the Pig Butcher using an alias.

Satanos posted:Both stories will have happened. Cactus said something implying that. I'm wondering if we're going to play as the Biker in the pre-Hotline Miami levels from earlier in the 80s. Then again we might end up with the ninja girl from Showdown because there's more then one female playable character in this and none of the Fans are.

Captain Walker posted:Haven't been following this game but I just beat the first one. What a ride. Makes Killer7 look like fuckin' Mario. No word on a trailer or release yet? There's also a video called something like Hotline Miami 2 - B Roll that has some otherwise unseen cutscenes in it (which is an interview with the Pig Butcher's actor). Also they're showing it off at some convention now so maybewe'll see more. Delaio posted:Most recent thing I've seen was the ps blog saying it's coming out this fall. That's for ps4 though, and I'm not sure if it's getting launched on all platforms simultaneously. The HLM twitter said that "It won't be at PAX Prime because we hope it will be out by then."

The thing I'm really wondering about is Pig Butcher's in Jacket's apartment, as was speculated awhile ago, but Jacket's apparently not playable. Also, I wonder what era you play as the mobster in, and how it relates to 50 Blessings. It's going to be a wild ride. It'll be interesting to see if anything matches how messed up the execution of the mobster in the second level is. RandallODim posted:They actually showed him reloading too, which was exciting to notice when I watched the trailer a second time. He also appears to be holding a shotgun at another point so I don't know what to think anymore. Cuntellectual fucked around with this message at 01:01 on Apr 9, 2014 |

I've beaten every level as Nigel and now I can't play any other mask because I keep running backwards.  Captain Scandinaiva posted:Wow, The Fans look like a lot of fun to play. Do we have any information on who the unmasked guy is? Is he the actor in the snuff film? Nothing but speculation on Mr. Maskless. Another video showed the actor as being "Martin Brown" who was a kinda big black haired shaggy guy who apparently was a big star in mainstream movies. Another scene shows him in Jacket's apartment.

Flesnolk posted:Maskless guy's just outside the bar in that demo, too. Maybe that's where most/all of the playable people hang out, not just the Fans? Probably not Pig Butcher or the mobster. The eurogamer guy was suspecting that the blonde man might be an undercover operative, what with the cops showing up at the end of the department store level. I strongly suspect that the playable mobster is the one that the Fans kill. Re-watching the older stuff, he says "I quit. Didn't I tell you? Last week." and "I just want to go home". One of the other things was that Dennis Wedin used a plural for female characters in an early interview. I wonder if there'll be playable women other then Ash, and if that's the case, just how many characters are there? So far it appears to be 8(9).

Flesnolk posted:Yeah, the playable mobster is really obviously the same dude as the one who got executed by the Fans. At the very least the character model is identical; I mean, all the HLM1 mobsters looked the same too but none of them were major characters and I imagine weren't literally supposed to be assumed to look the exact same as each other. Wondering just how long this game's gonna be with at least eight or nine playable people. I could've sworn the skin tone was different. The mobster in Execution seemed to have really dark skin. Also no, they weren't literally supposed to look the same. I think Cactus talked about it just being an aesthetic choice to go with the hazy, frenzied horrifying and awesome violence in the game and the second game has that too but there's also more to it, which is why the enemies are somewhat more varied.

Flesnolk posted:HLM 1 was hard as balls but its difficulty was about as real as pro wrestling. Too many arbitrary "gently caress you"s as opposed to actual challenge. It wasn't even a "not aggressive enough" thing because there were times I'd just get instantly ventilated before I'd even had the opportunity to do anything; I sorta wonder if lag had something to do with how bullshit fast every enemy was whereas you guys seem to have had no trouble whatsoever. Whatever, hopefully Wrong Number will be less dumb about it. Wrong Number is not in fact any different, but it must have been lag or something. You could check an LP, even.

Accordion Man posted:The boss fights sucked though, but they're getting cut out in 2 so it doesn't matter anymore. They're not, but they're going to be more along the lines of the Director in Decadence from the sounds of things. Shame though. I honestly thought the boss fights were the highlight of the game. Cheekio posted:What are the rules to follow to get higher scores? You get a bunch of things listed at the end of your run but it doesn't say what their relative worth is, so I never really bothered to try. Find a dart. Disarm a mobster and throw all weapons away. Hit him with the dart until you get 6 billion Big Balls points. Serious answer: Exposure and combos basically go up exponentially. Executions and variety are good but they're secondary factors. Zack is the best way to get a high score.

Tin Hat posted:The boss fights were the most exhausting parts of the first game for me, they took too many hits and every time you restarted you still had to sit through their little dialogue, which broke the fast-paced rhythm of how the game usually plays. I dunno. The bosses didn't take many hits. The director was barely a threat as a combat shotgun meant he was no more challenging then a normal enemy. The biker was hard but my favorite part of the entire game. He just took two hits. The van you could do with a single combat shotgun, the police chief only took one hit and the last boss took 8 hits 2 per part.  Flesnolk posted:Hold down the right mouse button and it skips all cutscenes, including in-level dialogue. If you shotgun the director if it doesn't kill him you can go to the top floor again.

The more you rush down on them, the better your odds of taking them. Playing it like a crappy stealth game IS bad, so don't do it!
