@alex Tweeted several times about this game, and he pointed out that the violence you commit in Hatred really isn't much different from the violence you commit in, say, GTA.
Thing is, I haven't played any GTA games, intentionally. I've started watching a Let's Play of GTA 5 and turned it off shortly into the intro. I own Payday 2 through PS+, but I haven't played it. "It's just a game," but I'm generally disturbed by games that encourage extreme violence toward innocents, especially without any redeeming goal or justification.
It's possible to have gameplay involving unjustified violence against people, but it requires some sort of pressure release valve: a veneer of parody, a slapstick quality, something. Who knows, Hatred must just be the video game equivalent of Funny Games--which everyone should make him or her self watch--but from the trailer that isn't coming through.
