New Manhunt 2 trailer a great way to start the day

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.

ShortFuse @ Apr 13th 2007 11:11AM
Bah, another kiddie game for the kiddie Wii

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.
arrrgh @ Apr 13th 2007 11:55AM
Usually im dead set against EVERYthing jack has to say, but that was pretty harsh Matt...
as for the trailer, can we PLEEASE get Wii games that actually USE the hardware, not the gimped ps2 version? pleeease
Ken @ Apr 13th 2007 12:25PM
@Jack
Don't worry. I'll play it on the Wii, and pretend each guy I kill is Matt. I got your back!
eb @ Apr 13th 2007 12:56PM
The second resident evil UC trailer looks fantastic. I'll get RE4 and UC instead of this.
DEEZNUTZ @ Apr 13th 2007 1:57PM
I love all of you gays, ah, I mean guys.
Tom @ Apr 13th 2007 2:10PM
Too bad this game doesn't have online multiplayer. That way Jack, Ken, and Matt could get all this pointless rage outta their systems and kill eachother for real... in the game.

"Jack of No Trades: remember our agreement?"

"Plus im too damn serious and stressed outside of Joystiq anyways."
Oh, I'm sorry to hear. I'm just messing with you Jack. Don't take it the wrong way.
Matt @ Apr 13th 2007 5:56PM
I don't actually have a Wii. I just close my eyes to "jack" into my slaughtering simulation.
gir @ Apr 13th 2007 11:02PM
Oh I see whats going on with Matt.
Looks like someone has a crush on Jack.
