Imagine a game like Shenmue, but with better graphics, and more importantly - GUNS!!!!!
Imagine a game like Metal Gear Solid, but with a masterful cinematic 150 piece orchestral sound track running through it.
Imagine a game like Resident Evil, but with flowing camera angles, third AND first person perspective views.
Imagine a game like Tomb Raider, but with a bounty hunter as your lead character, who's job it is to track down some bad guys who have killed your boss.
Imagine a game like Driver, but with a souped up Harley Davidson hog as your mode of transport.
Imagine a game with all of the above, but with online capabilities as well, so that you can race your hog against other players online through the city streets, and for winning you get to download new maps to your console, new weapons for your bounty hunter, new items to help you explore further into the city.
Drooling yet?
It's out at the end of this summer. From Amuze software. It's called Head Hunter.
And the funny thing is....
It's coming out on the DREAMCAST!!!!
Go buy a Dreamcast now if you haven't picked up a second hand one on the cheap, because this is the kind of game that gamers queue outside shops for at 4am in the morning.
This is the kind of game that should be hyped to the hilt, because you simply can't hype it enough. Whatever you say about it, the game WILL be better.
And finally, this is the kind of game that really pushes the Dreamcast to its VERY limits. People will be saying that this game was the one that stretched the power of 128-bit gaming to its fullest extent, in the way that 32-bit gaming finally met its match with Metal Gear Solid on the PSX.
It's about time it happened. And if they can do this on the Dreamcast, just think what they could do if they made a version for the PS2 or the Gamecube or the X-Box. The next gen consoles wouldn't be stretched too much considering their power, but Head Hunter will surely be one of the most sought after games by Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft early next year.

I've played and finished Headhunter, and I think it's a near-perfect adventure game: a cross betwixt Metal Gear Solid & Res Evil with a bit of motorbikey stuff thrown in. It'll sell by the truck load when it comes out on PS2. Another quality title first on Dreamcast.
I havent read all of this thread so if it's been said then sorry, but
Headhunter is being made for the PS2, and it's an upgrade on the DC version.

I didn't. I paid someone else to do that for me whilst I got on with playing Final Fantasy IX on my PS2.

*waits for FM to say"i did!"*

A game more anticipated than MGS2? - I find it hard to believe, but then again, everyone's entitled to their own opinion I guess.
I thought the DC version was supposed to support online play in the form of motorbike races or something?
Was that just untrue, or did they simply not incorporate it?

Amuze Software developed it, and it was their first ever title on any platform.
Reason I'm popping this thread is to check my theory about the hype, Headhunter didn't exactly get a great deal of press (couple of front covers on the Dreamcast mags but that was it really), but I really wanted this game badly because it just looked so good.
Now I've got it, played it, and still play it. I touted it as my most anticipated game of 2001, and I have to say that it certainly lived up to the hype (except it has no online functions, hey ho, nothing new there, most of the last releases from Sega in Europe didn't have online functions).
Going on the basis that there's no smoke without fire and that FM is always right, my next highly anticipated game will be MGS2: Sons of Liberty.
So there you have it. MGS2 is gonna be good no matter what you read about it in the meantime :)

It sounds really good. Who is developing it?
