Don't worry guys, I'll cleanup the aftermath of everyone's merciless killing. It'll be fast. It'll be quick. And most of all, it'll be effective.

Am I being obtuse? Why can't the Death Count be Quantified? What Death Count? The in game deaths I presume? Am I just over thinking this?? :-D

That first game was amazing. I look forward to this game having its way with my cranial cavities.

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

I don't think it's co-op. I've heard that the two characters we see on screen together are brother/sister and control as one. The synchronized movement seems to fit that.

Goddamn am I psyched for this, and to drop an extra 10 on the soundtrack.

Also pretty psyched that there seem to be multiple different playable characters, all with different attributes.

Ok, that sounds... underwhelming.

Still, I really enjoyed the first game, so I am surely going to give this one a try.

I'm (positively?) surprised, that no "WOP WOP WOP" was heard during any point of that music. Still, they do have quite the challenge on their hands, if they want to top the first one's soundtrack.

Otherwise, it looked just as grand as the first one, except more actiony, sorta like a blockbuster movie sequel would probably be.

Sad to see a obviously talented group of people going for a really cheap cash grab like this.

I had enough at the end of the first on, and this doesn't seem different enough.

Not even the music seemed to stand out.

Went from a really different, super dirty kind of electro to what? Ultra bland kind of rocky dubstep?

What?

Edit: I have to add more the second time I read your reply.

Myself and many others wanted more of the game once we finished it and played through it hundreds of times so a new one with obviously new stuff in it is wanted and I'm not sure if we watched the same trailer but it looks like it has a good amount of new stuff and this is from watching one trailer that was really short. With that there was what one song on the trailer so mentioning the music is just pointless.

I wanted more and all of this looks awesome, including the music.

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.

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.

Hotline Miami is a horribly underrated game.

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.

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.

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!

Hope Day 1 on the Vita, only way to play the first one in my opinion

- 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'.

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