I'm in the UK, will we actually get this on PS4 tomorrow, or have to wait until Wednesday? I have a US account so if need be I'll buy a points card and get it from that account tomorrow. I need it!

Man... I'm trying to rise above feelings of entitlement, but I can't help but feel a little deflated after finding the Dennaton tweet stating that the level editor would not be included with the game at launch.
 
I got the soundtrack this weekend, gonna listen to it tonight. Looking forward to playing through the game this week too yeahhhh. Does anyone know if this one has more story than the first?

Multiple storylines and a level editor (coming in spring). Should last you a while.

I really hope some of the soundtrack stays the same. I'd truly want the menu music, Deep Cover, post level music and all the sound effects in between to stay there, that's probably unlikely but it'd still be great if they keep some of that in.

Turned one of my old posters into a possibile tee, just for fun.
And for the hype, of course. :D

Might post it on Design By Humans / Qwertee / whatever, if the feedback is good.

All the music is new and that is great.
 
I'm guessing the level editor is just going to be for the pc version and not on any of the Playstation ones?

The editor will be on PS4, but not Vita.

I feel like we should put that in the OP.

Wait a minute... when was it ever stated that the editor would be coming in an update later in spring? I've never heard any of the devs even hint at that. If that's the case, what was with the year-plus delay that was supposedly caused by getting the editor finished?

It also says so right on the Steam store page.

are you sure? not all the tracks appear on the 3x vinyl (26 Vs. 40), additionally Jasper Byrne released a slightly tweaked version of the "Score Screen" song a month ago. Which is a close enough version that'd I still consider it as a song from the original game.

yeah, his Hotline Miami 2 EP is here:
http://spacerecordings.bandcamp.com/album/hotline-miami-2-ep

Has remastered versions of previous tracks.

And none of the music in Hotline Miami 2 is "new" as they are old synthwave tracks they've just licenced. Carpenter Brut tracks for example are from 2012.

ah true, they scour band camp for the stuff they like

i keep dreaming theyll ask to license something of mine off band camp
 
I think the game is only 500mb so it will only take five or ten minutes to download normally. Also come the fuck on with that midday release, I want to play at midnight (or whenever it's first unlocked by a VPN).

Yeah, that is pretty shit. I was hoping to play at midnight.

Digital console releases suck as they are 90% of the time locked to when the Store updates :( Us europeans get punished by a 24h+ delay with the PS-Store updating on wednesday evening.

Some big games do get exceptions or they allow you to pre-download the game and it will unlock upon midnight. Would love this feature for digital only games too like this one.

I pre-ordered on Steam, I think it unlocks tomorrow afternoon. I expected midnight tonight.

I was tempted to get it on the ps4, but then I'd have to wait until Wednesday, wouldn't have the choice of kb+m (how I prefer to play Hotline) and guaranteed level editor.

it's totally up to people's preference, i am one of those who felt the Vita controls were superior to the PC controls.
Some hate the console controls though. So you'll have to try them out for yourself.

Lock-on aim and wild spray&pray mechanics are more prevalent with the analogue sticks :D can't be as single-shot-accurate like with a mousepointer.
Thanks mayne
