Totally awesome game coming up for Next Gen Consoles and PC...
It's "presented" by John Woo and it's called "Stranglehold". I might have told a few friends reading this about this game before but today I found some footage of what the game is going to be like and I think it's going to be great. It's almost like it takes Max Payne and bumps it up to the next level. Besides the typical moves which I do in most first and third person shooters that control similarly and that is running and shooting independently (For example, circle around a person while keeping your gun trained on them) and dodge around using those techniques and jumping.
Max Payne added diving to any side while shooting in another direction and being able to slow it down with bullet time to get the drop on other characters this adds even more to that. In Stranglehold as you can see in the video I'm embedding you can for example do a combo move by running sideways.. kicking off a wall, sliding on a rail.. falling onto a cart and having it slide across the floor from your momentum all while shooting in the desired direction. Those are the types of moves that I'd be excited to make use of in gameplay especially when the weapons will also destroy the environment so it's like you are controlling a hong kong action flick. I can already tell this game will be hellah fun for me.
If the controls are good I can see me wanting to get as creative as I can with the combo moves in the game.. and that's because I used to be so into playing certain fighting games over and over trying to discover new combo moves.
Plus the graphics are going to look very good because they run on the same engine as Unreal Tournament 2007 although this video obviously doesn't do it justice.. especially to how good Chow Yun Fat looks in the game. Only thing I'm not so sure about is whether or not Stranglehold will have multiplayer because I wonder how the bullet time would work in multiplayer. Multiplayer was not in either Max Payne games which had similar gameplay. This is one of those games that I get really excited about because I feel it brings something new to a tried and true genre just like how I got excited over Prey.
They say Chow Yun Fat is reprising his role from the John Woo movie "Hardboiled" which I don't remember seeing so I'm going to want to watch it.
