Uwe Boll is probably going to get movie rights to this game.
Well look at people and how they play GTA V. When they get bored with story missions they start killing civillians and then cops but why? Is there a reason for it in the game?
Well with Trevor there kind of is, there you have a guy who enjoy killing civillian people. Without spoiling one of the side missions there is plenty of proof.
Then we can take infamous, yea you can go pure evil in that and totally kill civillians who has done nothing wrong. There is no context in the game for why you would do that unless you as the player WANTS to be evil and alot of people do. Its escapism and its great.

That concept sounds really cool.
Glad to see something new on the table.

Yeah, except it's not. You're not killing unarmed civilians in Manhunt, you're set loose in a what's essentially a movieset with sociopaths who've been paid to kill you.
They're two completely different games. I wish people would stop making this flimsy comparison.
I wish people would stop comparing this to manhunt.
The trailer doesn't look like the game has anything in common with manhunt outside of intense assassination moves... which is in like every game ever. Might as well call it top down shadows of mordor.
Did you even play manhunt?
The trailer doesn't show anything about stealth, or anything about the protagonist being forced to kill people against his will. or give off any kind of running-man esque vibe... and at least in manhunt 1 you're not killing innocent civilians by any right. I never played manhunt 2, so maybe this game is just like manhunt 2.
The trailer makes it look more like top down GTA rampage side missions or top down no russian from COD.
edit: High five soultron!

Wasn't his main motivation for killing hundreds of people to discover treasure and get rich?
Sure did!

Needs to be more Satanic and atmospheric to be very black metal I think.
It does though. Look at #2 on this recent Cracked article. Crime is way down despite what the Jack Thompsons of the world would say. Watching mass violence may desensitize people to it, but that also would make people less prone to violence. You wont get nearly as much of a rush doing something if you seen an action star in a movie doing it 100 times.

For all the violent video games I have played, I find this really tasteless and violent without reason. GTA has an overtly comedic and non-serious tone that allows it to have some class. This however is senseless killing and really doesn't seem to have a message outside of everyone deserves to die. I can't help but feel like this will also be plastered in the media.
For those saying it will help with anger or pent up emotions, I don't see how this is the case as it isn't a constructive relief of those emotions. It appears that it would only reinforce the views that they already had with the ideology that the main character preaches.

He probably already has the movie rights to this game.
Nah. Manhunt offered some sort of context. Sociopaths are who you're targeting, not civilians.
That spiel during the trailer opening made it pretty clear...this ain't that.
So again, what is this shit?

Well, it really is a modern version of Postal (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postal_(video_game)). I'm interested if they will attempt any type of meta commentary.

not edgy enough
wheres the kids?
Seriously though, I feel even talking about this is playing into their marketing ploy, so I'm uncomfortable even posting here.

Was the trailer that bad?
Can't watch it.
I just like the idea of playing the villain. The description made it sound like it would have some meat to it.
You think they wrote it badly on purpose?

Waiting for the Utah Saints remix to drop.
What, no gifs?
It's pretty brutal.
The woman execution with the barrel in her mouth is the worst one to me.

Will JaseC still buy it as a hardcore Steam game collector?

Happy for anyone to make any kind of game they like, but I hope this never sees the light of day. I don't think a game that appears (based on the trailer) to focus purely on replicating mass murder is going to be good for gaming or gamers.

Oh another isometric Zombie gam....wait WHAT THE FUCK.
It looks great though. Someone should remake "Crusader: No Remorse" like that.

I think the extent of my emotional reaction to this is just to roll my eyes at my monitor.
FYI rates of child sex abuse (like basically every other crime) has gone down dramatically since the rise of the Internet, so yeah, criminalizing possession has never been a good idea.
Likewise, getting back to the topic, I won't deny this game its right to exist. The fact that people are even discussing it is a good thing, since it gets people to think about if there is a line to cross where things are going too far in a video game, and all that. That discussion is a good thing.
Err hence why I asked for a scientific study somewhere on the last page >.>
I mean yes I understand both sides, but you argued science, so I'm asking for a scientific report.
Edit: And until you can prove that, I'm going to keep saying a game that is violent for the sake of violence is probably not a good thing.
This took me five minutes to find on Google. I've seen studies like this for years, always believed in them. There was a Penn and Teller BS about violent video games as well that brings up studies finding the same thing. As far as out dumb monkey brains are concerned, urges can be filled with real things or virtual things, the urges are satiated all the same.
That article up there talks about one. Cracked is pretty well researched though in my experience, especially from the regular columnists.

No way this is going to release one consoles because of Microsoft and Sony probably want nothing to do it. Valve probably wouldn't want the negative press either , but then again they could allow it. I can see this getting a AO rating probably won't release in the USA or many European countries like Germany .

I just like how honest they seem to be. Hell, I bet most people who play GTA go on pointless murder sprees all the time, I know I do (I say pointless, but the point is to have fun). There is no deeper meaning to that, I just like to play it that way as do millions more. This dev's just decided to forego all pretense and make a straight-up action-murder sim. I respect that.

Hmmm
usually i love these type of games, but theres something un-easy about this, maybe they are purposely trying to misdirect us, but gameplay wise it looks fun

Legit shook at some of the reactions here, I thought most of the people would be pro-violence, at least after what I've seen so far here.
I guess they just went for violence for the sake of it. Still waiting for that murder simulator.

You mean that thing at the beginning?
It seemed like a mix of cool phrases from edgy movies, all together, just for the sake of it.
I look at it the other way around, with him being motivated to find treasure and ancient cities like Shambhala, and fighting to stay alive from the other guys shooting at him who want to get there first. Drake never sets out to directly kill people, yet alone innocent ones. That's the difference.

You've never seen a trailer that didn't offer much context for the product?
I doubt the game just drops you into the street with a gun, I'm sure there's a reason this guy is pissed at the world. Also I was referring to the executions when I referenced Manhunt, yes I'm aware it's not the only game that has executions.
Yeah, it was. Like some 11 year olds came together and wrote their dream design doc.
Playing a villain with real planning and malice aforethought would be an interesting premise for a game. The videogame version of this particular fucked-up property:
would have more depth and engagement than a simple point-and-shoot-at-civvies simulator.
Again, this ain't that.
Wow. So the entire point of the game is to gun down innocent by-standers? I'm not easily shocked or offended (I mean, I like Manhunt ffs) but this seems so unnecessary and tasteless. I almost hope it gets an AO rating and isn't allowed on Steam, PSN, etc...
I mean, with all the shit going down lately, who in their right mind would possibly think we need an actual mass murderer "simulator"?

I don't care about the violence, the grim dark bullshit is what's keeping me away from this.
I'm sure I don't give a shit. For anything beyond "controversy for it's own sake", this game will need cover in form of rock-solid context. There's no there, there.
