Manhunt 2

Belmont · 02-08-2007, 02:30 AM

it looks great to me i mean i love all game from cooking mama to silent hill. nintendo is doing a great thing letting their be more violent games on the wii. i just hope that the developers of any game keep the controls innovative and fun for every game i hope we dont start getting the same thing over and over and over. but they way things look now i think nintendo is going to rise up on top this generation. i just hope people dont lose interest in the wii but i dont think they will

I think you missused the term "hardcore gamer" A game with over the top violence is usually for the casual gamer. For example, a violent game like Def Jam is aimed towards the casual gamer. Hardcore gamers are looking for quality gameplay and often enjoy Zelda, Metroid, Final Fatasy. Nintendo has had Tons of Mature games in the past. This game might look weird for xbox if it gets put inbetween Harry Potter and Sponge Bob.

i agree on the term of hardcore gamer. i consider myself one and i like my share of violent games but i would rather put in another hour to my thousands i have already put on SSBM. and i want my games to have a deep story a violent game is nothing but a fun waste of time if it does not have a great story to back it up. thats what a hardcore gamer looks for. they like quality of the title over the mature rating

Here is Rockstars latest statement in regards to the nature of Manhunt 2 and their decision to offer it to the Wii console.

Quote:

“We believe Manhunt 2 is a great entertainment experience for fans of psychological thrillers and urban horror. Manhunt 2 is a chilling and compelling drama and is only appropriate for people who are old enough to play it.

Manhunt 2 builds on the success of the original Manhunt, a critically acclaimed and BAFTA-nominated title that has established a loyal fan base amongst adult gamers. We are aware that in direct contradication to all available evidence, certain individuals continue to link the original Manhunt title to the Warren Leblanc [the boy found guilty of murdering Stefan Pakeerah] case in 2004. The transcript of the court case makes it quite clear what really happened.

At sentencing the Judge, defence, prosecution and Leicester police all emphasised that Manhunt played no part in the case. We respect those who have different opinions about the horror genre and video games as a whole, but we hope they will also consider the opinions of gamers. The stories in modern video games are as diverse as the stories in books, film and television.

Rockstar submits every game to the appropriate bodies for rating and classification and in the case of Manhunt 2 it is clearly a game aimed at an adult audience and we anticipate that it will receive an 18+ rating.”

I for one am glad to see this title heading for Wii, a wide variety or different genre games will only add to the Wii's growing popularity... even though it's not gonna be an easy task for Rockstar

From a complete third person perspective, I would have to say that Jowie makes a lot more sense than you. No offense to you or anything, just an opinion..

I am actually going to look foward to this.

I think you guys bring up a really good point about the term "hardcore gamer"

What defines hardcore? I would say that along with the story depth that you were talking about, its almost an emotional depth thats a requirement for me. Under that definition, Manhunt, while having a less than compelling story, has a hardcore gamer appeal due to the range of emotions you feel as you sneak up behind an unsuspecting thug ready to gouge out his eye with a glass shard and subsequently step on his face. In this regard, its the ultra violent way that you go about it that provides that depth. That gruesome, gruesome depth.

I suppose it means something different to everyone.

P.S. Thanks to DeathMetalMaster for the backup.

I define hardcore through someone's dedication to their games. Remembering their favourite games and their favourite particular set-pieces - as opposed to playing very few games or playing lots but skipping all the cutscenes or not completing it etc.

i've always wanted to play the original but don't own a playstation so never got to. it's a good rental at the very least.

jowii i agree with you and E7ernal i agree with you too. i think if you actually feel like you are in the game and let hte game effect you emotionally then you are a hardcore gamer and i really agree with you E7ernal i play through great games more than once finding every little thing i can find i never skip a cut scene i can quote most of my great games. and after i get really good at one i start doing speed runs but with out skipping cut scenes cause that is part of the game and should be part of the run. but i think a hard core gamer i a person that is emersed ( sorry i know that is spelled wrong ) in videogames he or she gets every dollar they pay for their games out of them and they dont leave a good game unfinished.
