chill man. i think brutally violent games that grab gameplay devices from grand theft auto are extremely played out. this game doesn't interest me because its capitalising on the idea of killing people as a gameplay device, which, i'm aware has been a part of gaming since the first games. but this idea is getting old, and the fact that people are actually wowed at free form, non linear gameplay that, instead of instilling a sense of wonder in the gamer, instead just asks you to kill people in various ways...well, thats not something i understand. there are games out that absorb me into a world, and they still manage to be innovative. this is basically just an excuse for brutal violence posing as innovative gameplay, and i'm tired of that.

If the ai is decent this should be an interesting game. Read the preview then: If you look past the violence this game seems like it'll be able to support itself on some fairly intricate strategies. I'm thinking this game is gonna be like a Running Man type deal where you'll always be on the run and can't just stomp into a group of people and start wailing on them. Should be good.

Does look good. Looks like a good mix of games such as GTA3, Max Payne and Thief.

i read the preview. all i'm saying is that violence is fine in videogames, but only when it supports a plot or has some meaning behind it. this is just an excuse for senseless brutality, and the bottom line is, it looks boring as all fuck. vice city got boring after half an hour, and this looks like the same thing. i'm sure younger people will pine over it and say its the greatest thing ever once it comes out, but i'd rather play a miyamoto game any day of the week. little to no violence, actual innovation, and masterful execution.

whatever, i think that the gimmick of death needs to be more and more..... gta is amazing and will always be fun to play, but its not violent enough for me, I hope manhunt lets me chop some fuckin heads.
i own 13 playstation 2 games and 10 ps1 games, I know what I like. and I want variation, this is a game ive been waiting to come out.
and younger people? your going to use that?, thats weak man.

yeah really, i'm almost 28 and i thirst for violent video games. my favorite game ever, Counter Strike had virtually no storyline. it was all about skillz and killing. again, i had to remove it from my house because i was playing it like 12 hours a day for 3 straight months (while i was unemployed).

I'd rather play a new 3D Kirby game for Gamecube.
I am definitely looking forward to Max Payne 2 for Xbox though... it's getting great reviews and the first game was very smart, this one is getting better reviews (for PC) across the board.

Grand Theft Auto is a smart game... it's violent but it's got a certain pizazz to it, it's smart violence and well designed. It spawned too many halfwit games that lack substance though.
Has anyone played the new Xbox GTA's? Any notable differences other than that awesome custom soundtrack thing?

my main problem with hyper violent games is actually the same thing ophecks pointed out with gta. there are two many fucking rip offs that are just half assed imitations, and they crowd the market, pushing away potential titles that might actually bring something new to the table.
and i own ten systems and about two hundred games, so i think i know what i like as well.

zaphod: either way it doesnt matter really, I mean I doubt Manhunt is going to be a GTA rip off, it sounds nothing like it. Its like GTA meets Metal Gear Solid 2 or something..... kinda. I read the full IGN.com review and it sounded quite promising....
