First game easily goes in my top 10 games of all time. So excited for this sequel.

@thecrocodilator: Same. I hope this actually comes out in the next few years!

It should be out sometime late summer, I think.

Holy shit, this looks amazing. The music still holds up as well, so that's good.

I'm ready. Whenever someone clueless about games says something like "I don't like how you can't just get in and play games, anymore. They're too slow," I show them Hotline Miami.

For the record, this has happened once.

I'm pretty excited - I hope they understood how important the music was to the first game. I still listen to the soundtrack all the time.

Didn't know the game had co-op... This makes it extra worthy.

They should really consider adding a local multiplayer mode to this.

- Stamp of Agreement -

I tried playing with a keyboard and mouse after I had already beaten the Vita version and couldn't get past the second level. Much respect to people with crazy gymnast fingers, but I don't have em'.

I really loved the first one from the music to the aesthetics. It was like a fast paced DreamWeb without any of the story and the action dialed to 900.

This already looks great. I don't know how he was shooting with individual arms but fuck it man, I want to do that!

Wasn't really a fan of the first game itself, but God the soundtrack was incredible. Pretty sure that was the only thing that got me to play through the entire thing. I'll be getting this as well just to listen.

Given its massive popularity on the platforms it is available on and the nigh universal praise of the game, I'd say it rated accordingly. = /

Regardless of anything, I need this game ASAP.

Also, that song was fucking DOPE! I need to know who it is and where to find it.

Those are some nice TV-static effects. Amazing in fact. But they're really jarring in an almost dizzying kind of way. I hope that kind of stuff doesn't intrude too much on the gameplay part of the game.

Can't effing wait. My Vita is exclusively a Spelunky/Hotline Miami machine.

So many new mechanics that are blowing my mind and make me so excited to get my hands on it. My only concern is for the story; I thought the original's story was kind of stupid - not incoherent, just sort of random, in a kind of "This is the 80's, so this makes sense, right?" way. The conclusion wasn't that great either. Either expand upon the conspiracy hinted at, or scrap it make it more relevant to the character.
