This thread has been linked to the game 'Manhunt'.
Ah what the heck, I can wait for Project Gotham 2 for a few more weeks! Just ordered Manhunt after reading through quite a few reviews. Gamespot gave it a highly respectable 8.4 whilst the completely over rated IGN gave it 8.5! Read a few more reviews from rather unkown sites but they were all around the 8-9/10 region saying it was very close to the Hitman games with splashes of Max Payne and Splinter Cell creeping in. I have backed this game since it was announced to be something decent and by all accounts its definitley one hell of a game.
A lot have mistaken this for just an out and out Rockstar game with no thought required to succeed. They couldn't be any further wrong however. The stealth system sounds brilliant and the game in fact discourages you from going head on into a fist fight due to the difficulty and the amount of personnel who will appear to back up their allies. There are a wide variety of weapons to choose from and each of the close combat weapons comes with 3 stealth kills depending on how long you choose to wait for the kill. By all accounts its much easier to grab a stealth kill in Manhunt than it was in Hitman 2 or other similar games. ou simply hold down the X button for however long and it will reward you with a cinematic and supposedly completely sick fatality.
A few complaints about some of the shooting sections were saying how difficult they are due to the enemies taking cover and flanking you where ever possible. This and the fact that in the later sections of the game you basically go up against a series of fire fights which some will supposedly grow tired of. From a visual and audio point of view its apparently one of the best games on the PS2 yet dispite the awful screenshots Gamespot have said the game holds its own when seen up and running.
Overall it sounds like a top notch game and when I receive it in the next few days I will comment on how well it plays and how similar it is to the Hitman games.
I just hope it doesn't disappoint!

Same thing? Hahahaha.
You silly sod. Slow Motion has been knocking around for donkeys years. The Wachowski Brothers brought Bullet Time forward. You muppet.

Bullet time = slow mo.
Same thing. You'll realise that when you decide to eat humble pie, install the patch and give it a whirl. Since you're clearly incapable of doing that, I'll just laugh at your childish ignorance, and keep on laughing as long as I like.

Its says slow motion not bullet time you big 'tard. John Woo was doing slow motion way back but it was the Wachowski Brothers who brought the Bullet Time feature forward.
I don't know whether to laugh or feel sorry for you.
Pathetic.

OK honey, while you read the official patch specs, including the slow-mo bullet-time feature, I'll go lick my imaginary wounds wondering why that spec doesn't actually exist in your little world, you complete and utter spacker.

Considering you are probably some bearded nerd sat there pondering over the fact why the boys on the end of the road always use to run away from you then the unloved chat forum feeling is probably mutual. Then again pathetic people do pathetic things so instead of crying over spilt milk over the "none existent" Hitman patch try to make yourself respectable and at least contribute something worth reading to the thread. Either that or please do carry on humiliating yourself, after all its probably something you have done all your life so why stop now?!
You can be derogatory all you like, but given that it's born from your complete ignorance regarding the patch, it only serves to make you look yet more stupid than you already have done.
Of course, to make you look clever, I'll pretend that it doesn't exist. I'll also rub my chin and nod my head at statements like "how he holds the gun" in reference to a character system.
Wouldn't want to wound your overstated sense of personal pride, hurt your feelings and leave you feeling insecure and unloved because you completely lost a little argument with the bad man on a chat forum, would I?
Ponce.

Rockstar as a whole aren't great, but the UK division has certainly gained it some status for their talents on Vice City!
Anyhoo, think I'll check some of the reviews out tonight then take a trip over to *cough*Gamestation*cough* tomorrow!

As I said, and as you chose to ignore, the first patch available for Hitman activates bullet time.
Or were you too stupid to notice, and have never taken advantage of that fact?
Can you be that stupid? I'm beginning to think it may be a possibility.
