Hotline Miami or I am in awe.

[Trash]

Looks like a puzzle game met a murderous psychopath on meth. Strong hints of Drive, Dreamweb and Hitman are present with what appears to be 80's arcade difficulty. Not to mention I really do love those retro graphics. Yup, I am now officially Very Much Interested into this one.

[Excidium]

Looks p. cool.

 

[kazgar]

Looks interesting.

Wonder if someone's rang the phone number.

 

[Linden]

The combat reminds me of Tapan Kaikki. Ah, memories.

They should do away with the huge flashing POINTS thing, though.

 

[Wirdschowerdn]

I expected a real game and instead I got some banal shit indie-junk. I'm disappoint.

 

[Peter]

Looks interesting. Curious to see how far they take the stealth aspects of it, since right now it really does look like a kind of top-down Hitman.

Says the person with the shittiest taste in video games on these forums.

 

[Awor Szurkrarz]

Looks nice. I don't like the huge points, though.

 

[Luzur]

missing some Ferraris, 80's clothes and 2 Vice Cops.

 

[Wise Emperor]

Awesome. Looks like first GTA.

 

[sgc_meltdown]

Looks like if they made a good old school pulpweird action adventure game out of expanded GTA 1/2 combat

not really a fan of the shifting colors in the background and shit though, yes I get it your game is off-kilter

Really? I am not sure if GTA 1/2 are what come to my mind.

It looks a lot more like Dreamweb to me. You know, the top-down, cyberpunk game with strong brutal violence and a hero that sadistically kills innocent people without remorse (because voices in his head tell him to do so). Seeing how the trailer also shows a man forcefully entering rooms of unsuspecting people and brutally killing them in top-down perspective, I almost thought it was a homage to Dreamweb itself.

I still remember that moment when the hero of Dreamweb finds a rockstar and a woman having sex. He kills the guards, surprises the two in the middle of their business, and tears both of them apart with his gun. Afterwards, he hallucinates and sees an orb rip out of the rockstar's body. Very strange game.

 

[sgc_meltdown]

Very strange game.

so I've gathered over the years. My excuse in not finding Hotline Miami evocative of it is that I've yet to play Dreamweb.

Also the interface taking up half the screen is quite off-putting

Jonatan Söderström

everything makes sense now

I can only hope he will just gently cycle colors and not have any rainbow strobing

[Major_Blackhart]

Dreamweb sounds like it's a trippy nightmare of hellish macabre hallucinations and an ultraviolent reality thrown together.
Soundtrack gives me that impression anyway.

 

[Humanity has risen!]

Another pseudo-retro indie game with flashy, over the top colors. When will these guys ever learn?

It looks like a beat'em up Larva Mortus.

 

[Luzur]

Dreamweb is a fantastic trip, too bad it's "unfinished", it's like the game was being developed and then someone ringed the studio and demanded it to be finished in 5 days. Up until certain point, everything's perfect. From said point to the end it's the embodiment of a zerg rush.

Still worth the time, it's not even a lengthy game.

It's also one of the very few games I've ever seen that gives a strong sense of "shit, I just killed a man" to the player, you really feel the weight of being a loose psychopath with a gun and a bunch of hallucinations.

i remember it as very buggy, i think it was in the Hotel where there was a big chance it could hang on you, atleast it did for me a couple of times.

also this reminds me i gotta get my hands on a copy.

 

[Marobug]

Wasn't he making that monaco game or whatever it was called ? Looked pretty cool, I hope he didn't give it up.

That's someone else.

Also, I agree, Monaco looks like nice, silly fun.

 

[Whisky]

This looks pretty cool. Although it at first screamed, "Generic indy-game," the gameplay (And by that I mean, it looks like there's fast, fun gameplay as opposed to slow platforming with intermissions for pretentious prose) more than makes up for that.

 

[Garm]

The video reminds me of the True Lies for Sega Genesis.

 

[Peter]

Looks pretty damn good.

 

[Haba]

Uh... The guy playing it... Oh Jesus.

Also, we need more delusional games.

 

[Wise Emperor]

Bros if anyone liked the music from the trailer
