dogbert Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Take Two/Rockstar just announced Manhunt 2 for the PS2, PSP & Wii... New York, NY - February 6, 2007 - Rockstar Games, the world-renowned publishing label of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTWO), is proud to announce Manhunt 2 for the PlayStation 2 system, PSP system, and Nintendo's Wii™. Manhunt 2 is the debut title from the newly formed Rockstar London studio, which is developing the game in conjunction with series creator Rockstar North. The Wii™ version is being developed by Rockstar Toronto. Manhunt 2 will be available this summer. "With Manhunt 2 we have tried to create a game that stays close to the original concept of chilling suspense and stealth, whilst pushing the game design and storytelling forward," said Sam Houser, founder and executive producer of Rockstar Games. "We are also excited to have our newest development team, Rockstar London, working on the title alongside our two established UK studios, Rockstar North and Leeds." Should be interesting on the Wii... This was rumoured to be in development at Rockstar North (and then cancelled while they focused on GTA4) a while back & then rumoured at the ill-fated Rockstar Vienna.

Brandon H Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 I have to admit that I found the original Manhunt to cross my personal line of good taste -- and it usually takes a lot to do that. I probably won't be in for the sequel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probably won't be in for the sequel. I agree on the good taste bit, but I'll still be up for the sequel. Sometimes bad taste is good.

Dave C Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Wow. Wii-mote strangulation confirmed. No kidding. Odd choice for the wii indeed. Not exactly a family friendly title. Makes you wonder how creative they will get with new wario ware inspired wiimote positions: "The Stab" "The Slice" "The Strangle" "The Spike" "The Hammer" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan_E Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 And I can just see the photos on 'Wii Have a Problem' site..."I was doing the 'The Stab' on Manhunt 2 when my girlfriend got too close!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romier S Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 I have to admit that I found the original Manhunt to cross my personal line of good taste Understandable really and completely fair Brandon. I was suprised Manhunt didn't get far more attention from the mainstream media. It's by far one of the most gratuitously violent games on the market. Unabashedly so and far worse than any GTA or Saint's Row out there. (wouldn't mind resurrecting this excellent thread on the subject: Where do we draw the line? A discussion on videogame violence.) That having been said, I rather liked it in a sick and twisted sense. It has a terribly macabre atmosphere and it will be interesting to see what they do with the sequel. The Wii certainly opens up some really nasty possibilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derrik Draven Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 I ended up really liking Manhunt as well. That guy that did the voice of...Strayker???....in the game, REALLY helped sell the atmosphere. His voice acting was spot on for that character, if you ask me. Only thing that pissed me off about this game was me getting to damn near the end, and having the game lock up repeatedly right before I was to go up and get that guy filming all this shit. Oh yeah...PIGGSY!!! Man, talk about some tense gaming! I don't know why but that part where you had to go up against Piggsy just had me on the edge of my seat. Did the game end with you killing the main guy? If so, kind of a shame since I'd really love to see him somehow reprise his role as "the voice" in the second one.

His voice acting was spot on for that character, if you ask me. I'd hope so since that was the brilliant Brian Cox at work. You've more than likely seen him in the likes of Deadwood, X2, and the original Manhunt film as Hannibal Lecter (which was remade as Red Dragon).

EnemaEms Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Shocked this isn't a next-Gen title. Oh well, I'll be playing it regardless of the platform. I enjoyed the 1st one a lot. -Dean- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogbert Posted February 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Eurogamer have a 'teaser' trailer for the game. It looks like it's going to feature a different 'setup' to the original, though the teaser's obviously light on content. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starhawk Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 The first went a little far for my taste, as some have said here, but the teaser trailer gives me a good impression that I may like this one better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romier S Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 New trailer for Manhunt 2. It looks to veer quite a bit more into horror territory than the original. I'm definitely interested. http://gamevideos.com/video/id/10710 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starhawk Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 http://wii.ign.com/articles/792/792012p1.html Consider for one moment that in Manhunt 2 you can, Wii remote and nunchuk in hands, use a pair of pliers to clamp onto an enemy's testicles and literally tear them from his body in a bloody display. Family fun for everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foogledricks Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 Friggin Brits. We need to liberate them, finish what we thought we ended on 1776. Granted, Manhunt 2 is sounding pretty gruesome, but come on. No more so than friggin a Pulp Fiction film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
