Gaijin von Snikbah Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 I suspect someone has been taking names to get this game on Wii.
Librarian Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 I never finished my ps2 version.. but it was pretty disturbing the first time you snuffed someone with that blue plastic bag or shard of glass.. they went all out on this one.. there will have to be more substance to this follow up if im going to buy it
4q2 Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 Agree all the way with the comment of how sick and wrong this game appears at first glance, but that whole thing (possibly, dependent on how mentally balanced you are) justified itself when you realised how sick and wrong your enemies were. Killing is killing at the end of the day, it will never be a good thing graphic or non graphic. For me it was a game of stealth at heart and I have never really found another to match it. The one thing here is N has a good weapon on their side with this title.....the weapon of controversy, literally proven to be never a bad thing.
Dcubed Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 Wow, didn`t see that one coming! Just goes to show how much things have changed from the GCN!
BlueStar Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 The original was dull and repetitive, relying on shock value rather than gameplay to sell. You never know, maybe they'll put more effort into this one but I don't see why they'll bother seeing as how it'll sell like hotcakes regardless of quality thanks to the Daily Mail.
christophicus Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 This is great news, I dont really know tto much about Manhunt, But its good to have Rockstar developing for this Wii, if only to remove the stereotype of nintendo being for kids. I am intriegued by manhunt now, since people have been describing it as kinda like SAW which I though was an absolutely amazing movie. One thing though. Do you think rockstar will have the balls to go the full way and have the player actually doing the motions when killing someone, I mean it is slightly different form just pulling a trigger. i really hope they go the full way and make it as graphics as possible,particularly the motions. This game needs to get as much publicity that its on the Wii as possible.
The-chosen-one Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 when this game comes out i will buy it for shure i played manhunt before and liked it i hope they make 2 with better visuals more indept storyline and more freaky killing also an online mode would be awesome Just kill all your friends online haha

As for the motions hmmm not sure would be really good tho
Pit-Jr Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 when this game comes out i will buy it for shure i played manhunt before and liked it i hope they make 2 with better visuals more indept storyline and more freaky killing also an online mode would be awesome Just kill all your friends online haha The pairing of the words 'Manhunt' and 'Friend Code' suggests that that will never happen
Kurtle Squad Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 Proof. Straight from Rockstar HQ. "The Wii version of "Manhunt 2" will be vastly stripped down and will use the system's Mii characters in the game, to save processing power so that the environments will look wkd." They'll look like a drink??
christophicus Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 What you dont think raockstar should go go the whole way?
raven_blade2006 Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 Great news to see Rockstar finally taking an interest in the Wii. I suspect Reggie and the fantastic sales have somthing to do with this. Lets hope it continues because third party support of this kind has been lacking on Nintendo platforms in the past. Variety is the key to success here.
DCK Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 Ugh I hate this news for two big reasons. First, Manhunt was a filthy game which only sold due to its extreme media attention. Secondly, we're only getting this game because PS2 -> Wii is easy porting.

Gaijin von Snikbah Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 Actually it is not a port. And friend codes will not likely happen. I cant see how it could.
Owen Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 Manhunt was extremely gritty, but also very good. I hate to say it, but i think Wii needs these type of games to continue being successful. I'll be buying Manhunt 2 for Wii. I also hate to say that i enjoyed a game where you killed people so brutally, but hey! It's not real. Overall? The announcement was a surprise.
DCK Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 What do you mean by filthy? The concept. Creative ways of murdering innocent people in the most brutal fashions just for the entertainment of others. That's filthy.
ZeldaFreak Posted February 7, 2007 Author Posted February 7, 2007 The concept. Creative ways of murdering innocent people in the most brutal fashions just for the entertainment of others. That's filthy. Thats not, filthy though. Thats cool, funny if they open it up more from the original.
DCK Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 Thats not, filthy though. Thats cool, funny if they open it up more from the original. Do you realise what you're saying?
Hellfire Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 Well it's like this. People like zelda freak think it's cool because it's violent. I hate that sort of thinking. However, violence in art (movies, books, etc...) is viable, if only responsible adults make contact with it. So, I have no grudge against sush adult content, only that games shouldn't rely on them.
SimonM7 Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 The people you kill in Manhunt are hardly innocent. Oh and don't bunch me together with zeldafreak because I'm defending this game, I think he's nuts personally. I reacted the same way you guys do when I first heard about the game, but actually playing it is different. Thinking Manhunt is a game where you murder innocent victims for shock value is about as accurate as GTA being a "cop killing simulator".
4q2 Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 Well it's like this. People like zelda freak think it's cool because it's violent. I hate that sort of thinking. However, violence in art (movies, books, etc...) is viable, if only responsible adults make contact with it. So, I have no grudge against sush adult content, only that games shouldn't rely on them. Damn right regarding the correct ppl making contact with such material. But we would have a pretty one dimensional set of games and films if it was'nt relied on. How many games rely on killing being the object ? I dont see the true difference between pumping something full of bullets (ie. Nazi in CoD) or suffocating someone with a plastic bag...Go back to Smash TV, the only reason it wasnt as shocking is the technology wasnt able to give the graphical edge. Whether we agree or not, the technologies being set up now are going to make each one of the games based on killing more graphic and realistic, its what ppl are asking for and the debate with better graphics is pushing the whole industry towards....why slice someone with a sword if you dont see the wound and bloodshed? Its a setup for a good debate, but i'm firmly more for the freedom of expression, Im fed up of the state trying to control what the hell I do with my spare time.
SimonM7 Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 I dont see the true difference between pumping something full of bullets (ie. Nazi in CoD) or suffocating someone with a plastic bag. Really? What about lethal injection and strangelation? What about bludgeoned to death or drowning? Surely there's a difference, especially in how inhuman the act is and subsequently how graphic.
