[Derrick01]

I was sold when he beat that poor bastard with a payphone.

 

[iamvin22]

looks like fun. great pick up for SE.

 

[Blablurn]

im even considering day one for this. it looks great.

 

[MThanded]

The narration for that trailer is horrendous. Jeeze.

 

[Phloxy]

Already up on Steam as well, going to be so good!

 

[Wind's Howling]

Just Cause 2 meets True Crime meets Yakuza?

 

[RobotHaus]

I have a feeling this game will end up being incredibly average. But that's just my opinion, I have been wrong before. But right now it just kind of looks like a True Crime: Streets of Hong Kong.

 

[speedpop]

Blame me!

 

[op_ivy]

looks great for an open-world game. wasnt the hand 2 hand pretty good in the original true crime as well?

 

[PSYGN]

Nice to see GTA have some actual competition (if it's as open world as it seems). This is like taking a bit of the craziness from SR into a more realistic setting that GTA provides. Looking forward to it.

[mckmas8808]

I was sold when he beat that poor bastard with a payphone.

LOL! Same here.

 

[Data West]

The narration for that trailer is horrendous. Jeeze.

'Horrendous' really?

 

[Vlodril]

This looks better each time they release a video. I like that they added mini games, shopping etc.

 

[Aaron]

Trailer sold me. You can get a pre-order of the limited ed from greenmangaming.com for $36. Thus I keep my pledge to never spend over $40 on a game.

 

[rikichi]

Yeah, I'm hyped

 

[massoluk]

The fact that the developer is making combat system based on the movie Tom Yum Goong (The Protector) make me all giddy inside.

 

[Proposed Law]

"then there are the ladies"..
I lol'd at this part.

 

[Eggo]

'Horrendous' really?

The narrator is pretty bad, but the pay phone attack > all.

 

[KillGore]

This sold it for me lol

 

[ii Stryker]

Everything looks really good except the character models, talk about butter face.

Definitely keeping an eye on this one if the combat system is as intuitive as they made it look then I'm sold.

 

[Gbraga]

My body is so ready

 

[blahblah...blah]

"Use objects as you would in a real street fight". Awesome that they reckon their potential userbase has experience in street fights!

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Looks more fun than Grand Theft Auto games.

 

[The Broken Ska Record]

"Pain's on the line. Will you accept the charges?"

 

[Aaron]

"Use objects as you would in a real street fight". Awesome that they reckon their potential userbase has experience in street fights!

You mean you've never dropped a car engine on someone? What a sheltered life you've led.

 

[EXGN]

I'm really glad Square picked this up. It looks good in like a Just Cause kinda way, a game that's more fun than good.

I have a feeling this game will end up being incredibly average. But that's just my opinion, I have been wrong before. But right now it just kind of looks like a True Crime: Streets of Hong Kong.

Not... sure... if... serious...?

 

[luffeN]

Same date as Darksiders II for PAL.

 

[Clevinger]

damn, i can't wait for this

 

[ToLateToLove]

Looks great. Will get like a month or two after release for a bargain! Love the exotic setting.

 

[Blunt]

"Keep your friends close and your enemies closer!"


Good grief.


Actual game looks interesting though, I'll keep an eye out.

 

[iNvid02]

know nothing about this but now I'm interested

 

[MisterNugNug]

Looks great. Kinda wished the characters spoke Cantonese with subtitles. Love the setting, but I get pulled out a little bit when characters are speaking English.

 

[Linkhero1]

Doesn't look too bad. I'm just not sure about the slow motion stuff.

 

[Nibel]

This looks suprisingly good, really. I loved the original True Crime and its Honk Kong influence.

Will probably pick this up if user reviews are ok.

 

[mysticwhip]

Made my first GIF!

 

[maquiladora]

Man, that is heavily inspired by Yakuza. The combat, the violent environmental finishes, chasing, gambling, karaoke, "the lades...."

Can't wait.

 

[dreamer3kx]

Have to up that face value.

 

[Bison11]

This game looks awesome....I hope it turns out great. I can see myself really getting into this

 

[GotchaForce]

I love Yakuza and GTA and this looks great! Color me surprised.

 

[WrenchNinja]

This actually looks really good. Why did Activision drop this again?

 

[Red Blaster]

More games should be inspired by Yakuza

Hope it's good

 

[Cheesecakebobby]

It looks fun, but I don't remember everyone in Hong Kong speaking English, with an American accent, when I visited. They all spoke Japanese like in Shenmue II.

 

[Ridley327]

This actually looks really good. Why did Activision drop this again?

It couldn't be "annualized," they claimed.

 

[soultron]

The writing for the narration was kind of weak in parts, but it was a pretty enjoyable trailer. I'm much more receptive to this kind of marketing than I am a shitty dubstep trailer. Keep that shit for TV spots.

The game keeps looking better with every trailer they show. I'm considering picking this up now.

And yeah, everyone should be copying Rockstar's Design & Technology Series marketing stuff. I actually look forward to that stuff.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

"then there are the ladies"..
I lol'd at this part.

Same. So random.


This game looks pretty awesome though. I wondering about the bullet time feature though.

 

[.la1n]

I can beat someone down with a pay phone? Bought.

 

[TheOnlyMook]

This is my first time hearing about this game, but I am now fully interested. Looks awesome

 

[Man-is-Obsolete]

Game looks like a lot of fun, like that they have lite RPG elements with regards to buffs and clothing affecting those things as well. The simple things.

HOWEVER, this game is going to make headlines soon in a negative way when PETA finds out about the Cock Fighting minigame. I personally don't have a problem, but watch it will make waves.
