Stranglehold devs talk about its interactive environment

We were recently treated to the downloadable demo of John Woo's anticipated game Stranglehold starring actor Chow Yun-Fat. The tidbit of what's shaping up to be a bullet-riddled blast got mixed reactions. For those of you who weren't too happy with what you got your hands on, maybe these words from the developers can change your mind.



Aside from the wide array of cool moves you can pull of as Chow Yun-Fat in Stranglehold, emphasis was also placed on creating a vibrant world full of interactive objects and environments. Taking out the bad guys isn't limited to just pumping them full of lead, as you may guess. The game places premium on sending them to the afterlife with style. To reward you, you'll be given more stars for better-looking kills. It's like getting stars from a pre-school teacher if you're nice and smart. Kinda....

Stranglehold comes out later this year on the Sony PlayStation 3, Microsoft Xbox 360. and the PC. PS3 owners in North America will get a free Blu-ray copy of Hard Boiled, an early 90's movie directed by Woo starring Chow Yun-Fat which is a direct inspiration for Stranglehold's content.

The fact that you uncontrollably interact with every waist height surface in the game and preform and ass-slide is quite annoying in my mind, and the easiest way to kill enemies in the demo was just to interact with the millions of objects connects high above.



It's a fun game and all, but it's nothing I'd lable next-gen.

actually, the movie will be on the SAME BluRay disc as the game. that's what they say in some of the "interviews."



i'm guessing it's easier/cheaper that pumping out two bluray discs per collector's edition.
