New Manhunt 2 trailer a great way to start the day

by Justin McElroy { Apr 13th 2007 at 10:15AM }

We love the smell of post-stabbing eyeball goo in the morning. It smells like Manhunt 2. There's no finer way to wake up than a strong cup of coffee, your favorite morning paper and the creepy, disembodied laughter of children.

The trailer's about what you'd expect, with lots of quick cuts, murders and shouting. There don't seem to be a lot of plot reveals here, but there is at least one hanging, one bludgeoning and one stabbing with an unconventional object, so it seems like all is well aboard the HMS Manhunt.

Congrats Manhunt for being one of the last "decent" Playstation 2 games :P

Side note, Wii controls for this will be interesting. New ESRB descriptor in the making, "Interactive Slaughtering".

I can't wait to play this on Wii and pretend everyone I slaughter is Jack of No Trades.

Looks like the PS2 version to me. I wonder if the graphics will be better for the Wii? (not that graphics matter or anything like that).

Matt

Thanks. I have never met someone as nice as you.

Jack of No Trades @ Apr 13th 2007 10:58AM

Also Matt

Do you want me to remind you on how your playing a system with last gen AI and Graphics. Sorry to make you cry.

its not even out and it looks really outdated

ShortFuse @ Apr 13th 2007 11:11AM

Bah, another kiddie game for the kiddie Wii

C. Grant @ Apr 13th 2007 11:13AM

Jack of No Trades: remember our agreement?

Jack of No Trades @ Apr 13th 2007 11:15AM

Yea, im just ruffling up Matt's features a little bit.

jaysins @ Apr 13th 2007 11:26AM

First one was pretty fun once you got into it hopefully this one will be better.

@C. Grant
It's ok for Matt to make a comment about acting out slaughtering Jack of No Trades but Jack can't bust his chops about the wii even tho there is some truth in his statement? I understand Matt was joking but come on, a little fairness would be cool.

jaysins @ Apr 13th 2007 11:28AM

Oh another note, your either new or I just started noticing your posts Justin McElroy, but your posts are great. They crack me up and are usually a bit out there. Keep it up.

Why not just comment on the trailer at hand and grow up a little bit?

Jack of No Trades @ Apr 13th 2007 11:36AM

Mark

Why grow up and be boring?

It makes the day alot smoother to joke around and poke fun.

Plus its Friday the 13th.......wooooooooooooooahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhwooooooooooooooooahhhhhhhhhhhboooooooooooooo

Jack of No Trades @ Apr 13th 2007 11:39AM

Plus im too damn serious and stressed outside of Joystiq anyways. It nice to go to a place where you can joke around.

Ed @ Apr 13th 2007 11:50AM

Wow, how many other games can you ripoff in one trailer? Half Life, The Suffering, Resident Evil. I'll pass, thanks.

vidGuy @ Apr 13th 2007 11:52AM

jaysins, Jack's comments here are fair, but he's been known to troll for fanboy flame wars. It'd be the equivalent of a poster hijacking every thread with
"Enjoy paying for that slow-ass BluRay player with shitty, tacked-on motion controls and a hand-crippling controller." or "Have fun being a slave to M$ and its $400, 700* powerbrick and mindraping online fees." We know the Wii isn't a graphical powerhouse, and we don't care. Get over it.

On the trailer, meh, I'd rather watch a trailer of gameplay than a minute of cutscenes and logos.
