The Hong Kong Massacre Sure Was Bloody

And let us not forget that thy hotline of miami was just a contained indie version of the first GTA, no idea is original, plus the seemingly John Woo angle might take it a whole different direction

Im 13 and I've only played 2 video games in my life so this is definitely a clone

So the only similarity between this and Hotline Miami is the perspective, right? That, and both developers being Swedish.

It very much has a lock on.

Adieu by Revin Goff. Lucked out on that link on a Youtube upload of this trailer. Definitely my speed. I hope the game can differentiate itself from Hotline Miami, but if the worst case is just a straight up Hotline Hong Kong, I'll still be down for it. John Woo and violence based twitch puzzles sounds like lightning in a bottle.

If someone can earn a decent living from a game like this, then what incentive do developers have for pushing forward and bringing new ideas to the table if all you have to do is copy, paste and receive praise?

This looks pretty cool, comparisons to Hotline, sure, but this clearly features heavy gun play and at pace.

I'd tap that.

I dunno, half of what made Hotline Miami so great was the atmosphere, the strobing lights, clanky music and general weirdness of the entire thing. This game seems heavily focussed on the gunplay... I dunno, there are more enjoyable games I could play if I just wanted to shoot stuff.

So you just ignored the whole part of me saying that this is no way ripping off Hotline Miami 2? This is as much of a rip-off of Hotline Miami as Hotline Miami is a rip-off of something Crimsonland or even Smash TV.

If this game can elicit the same feeling that the office levels in Max Payne 3 did, I am definitely in. Comparisons to Hotline Miami are inevitable, but calling this a clone? C'mon now.

Call me crazy, but I agree...

.

As much as I loved H.M. and am not against the idea of another one, the sequel has failed to stir up any emotions so far.

Sure... why the fuck not.

Top down Max Payne? John Woo movies are clearly another influence.

They really shouldn't put out trailers until a game is either out, about to come out, or at the very least has a release date. As if the wait for HM2 wasn't agonizing enough, now this one is going to be on my mind too. D:

If only it had a bullet time dodge/slide as well, that would be great.

Don't know if anyone has already mentioned it but there's a developer diary/thread over at TIGSource.

Looks cool. Bloodiness reminds me of Project: Overkill, though not isometric.

I could only just see this notification but laughed my ass off.
