Looks as if it'd get old fast. Hotline Miami worked due to the aesthetics, gameplay wasn't anything to write home about.

It looks nice. However, I would someday like my stylized, gratuitous violence to return to the first-person perspective that it used to take quite readily.

Looks fun but needs to be more fleshed out. So far it seems to be repetitive and too reminiscent of Hotline Miami - i'd like to see this game developing into something more unique.

Has potential. Obviously aping off of Hotline Miami's success, but is trying to go in its own direction stylistically. Will have to add alot of variety to the guns though, seeing as it looks as though the main focus to the combat will be gunfights.

I like guns akimbo guy just shooting one gun into a wall for no reason 90% of the time while he aims the other one. Maybe you should just aim bro

I'm sad that this is the closest thing I'm gonna get to another John Woo/Max Payne-like third person shooter. Aside from the cheaply made Double Action: Boogaloo. But I want it.

I think they're going for that classic John Woo look, where there's sparks and fragments of shattered glass flying into the eyes of all the actors and stuntmen.

You might be right.



It always looked silly in John Woo flicks as well, but there the cuts don't make you linger on them for so long.

It's much more subdued in John Woo's movies. I see your point (post 16). The discharge does look ridiculous. I like all the destruction, though.

Well it looks better than your average Hotline Miami clone, but I don't know if I'd want to pay full price for admission.
