Not sure if somebody slipped this into the other Stranglehold thread, but this interview with John Woo has more "new footage" than interview, so watch it if you're interested.

Simply put, I thought the game looked like ass in the trailer posted a few days ago, but watching some of this and the more deliberate gameplay segments, it seems impressive.

 

[Cold-Steel]

Really cool footage, I was hoping for more of the Massive D system (the RPG going off is wicked).

My favorite part is when you see him jump off the balcony and land perfectly on a tram cart and he's shooting at bad guys while the physics of the cart carry him to safety.

 

[C- Warrior]

I thought the whole shoot any and everything and have it stay destructed bit was pretty cool.

 

[Goreomedy]

Holy shit this looks good. Why the hell didn't they feature Massive D in the trailer recently released? It's incredible. And I love the interaction with objects in the environment, like the completely fluid jump-onto-a cart-and-shoot-while-sliding motion. Er... which was just mentioned above.

 

[Foil]

I really want this game. Looks like a lot of fun.

 

[bbyybb]

This makes you think what a next gen max payne might be like.

Nice destructability in the environments and physics.


Cheers.

 

[Pedigree Chum]

Lookin' good, will keep my eye on this one.

 

[OatmealMu]

Thank God for persistent destruction. I got turned around so many times in F.E.A.R. due to environmental damage disappearing.

 

[Regret Truth]

Looks dope! 8 player multiplayer should be a blast on LIVE.

 

[Captain N]

Yeah, this game is looking good and while multiplayer could be fun..I doubt it. I love how you can slide over tables and still shoot though. It's looking really good so far.

 

[Mrbob]

Wow. This does look great.

I loved the part where Tequila jumps on the cart and starts shooting off of it. You can destroy all the enviroments plus use the enviroment to your advantage! TEQUILA TIME!

 

[bbyybb]

I want the Hall Of Mirrors Max Payne 2 mod on this games engine.

 

[Willy Wanka]

This looks excellent.

if multiplayer is like the John Woo inspired halflife mod (forget the name but it had the hard boiled hospital as a map) then it will be fun as hell. the amount of sleep i lost playing that mod was just ridiculous.

I was thinking the exact same thing when multiplayer was mentioned. The Specialists is a great mod and lots of fun

 

[Pedigree Chum]

So wait, this game is confirmed to have multiplayer? I hope they pull it off well, cause it could be a hell of a lot of fun.

 

[anotherworld]

i really hope they fix the framerate....

 

[AgentOtaku]

this game looks reaaaly ruff at this point (mostly animations), but also EXTREMELY promising...so hopefully they can polish this one into a real sparkling diamond by the end of the year

 

[kaching]

Please, Midway, don't go under before you get this game out. Hold it together.

 

[u_neek]

Looks really good!

Was it really that good? Well I do have faith that the multiplayer can be done right, but I just want to see some more single player videos before I judge the multiplayer(which I need to see something on)

 

[golem]

do you mean action quake/half life? those mods were some good fun for a while...

i hope CYF's face gets much more expressive... it really looks unnatural to see him express no emotions in his digital form

 

[eso76]

after learning this comes from the same team which gave us psi ops, this has become one of my most wanted titles : )
Ps3 only ?

 

[DrM]

Ps3 only ?

'Coming to all next generation consoles and PC'

 

[TTP]

i really hope they fix the framerate....

Devs aim for a rock solid 30fps. They want scenes with *lots* of people in them.

 

[Deg]

That is awesome. When is this out?

Maybe not enough violence however. Its John Woo so i expect more violence.

 

[Blimblim]

Very nice indeed, but I hope they fix the animations. Very stiff, very almost not transitions.

 

[Hydro_Alexis]

Has potential but as it has been said before the animation needs work.

 

[dante786]

still needs work, but its not coming out till winter so theres plenty of time. for some reason i found this footage to be way more impressive, im pretty psyched about the game now.

 

[Goreomedy]

The thought of tearing through a Natural History Museum, Dinosaur bones popping, adobe huts toppling, stuffed animals exploding, the "evolution of man" exhibit falling like a set of dominoes... it brings tears to my eyes.

Does it look to anyone else like these levels have been set up as arenas, instead of linear "get from point A to B" stages?

 

[Ghost]

jumping on a cart and sliding across the room made me say wow.

 

[Father_Brain]

Midway definitely needs to iron out the animation and framerate issues, but overall it looks quite promising.

 

[MattKeil]

Drooling over this? Really? Over The Outfit of all things? Hating on Splinter Cell 4...when did GAF declare permanent Opposite Day?

Seriously, what looks good about Stranglehold? Step away from the "Hard Boiled was awesome" nostalgia and try again.
