A new video interview of the Midway developed next generation third person actioner, Stranglehold has just popped up on IGN. They sit down and chat with Brian Eddy, the games director to talk about this spiritual successor to the John Woo directed Chow Yun Fat vehicle, Hard Boiled. It's a surprisingly in depth interview that covers the various environments that we can expect to play in, as well as gameplay mechanics such as the Max Payne style slow mo (shun) gunfights, vehicular combat, and multiplayer. It also helps that the interview includes a healthy amount of gameplay footage as well as some cool as heck clips from the movie Hard Boiled for comparison. The game footage looks amazing, with Tequila (Yun Fat's character) sliding over table tops, swinging from chandeliers, running up banisters, all at the same time there's chunks of wall and shards of glass just flying all over the place. I was a little skeptical upon the trailers initial release but this interview has certainly piqued my interest.

(And yes, there are doves)

» he looks cool

i really think that 'tequila' chap looks like chow yun fat. i know he's supposed to, but i reckon the quality of a model in a game is determined by how long you have to study them to figure out who the hell it's supposed to be. and i felt this guy was an almost instant 'hey, it's that guy' reaction.



anyone care?

» not another pos title

ok, from looking at all the other games for the ps3, this game looks kinda lame. The screenshots have horrible anti aligning as well as lacking enof detail and realism compared to other killer titles. Im not happy w/ this one as well as Posession for PS3. Posession shows to the be the most not next gen material on the PS3 yet, plus it does not look like anything we havent played before. Not happy w/ some of these developers...what are they thinking? Are they realy that dull?

» Not all the ps3 games you have seen are actual...

most of the ps3 "demos" or "bull-shots" aren't even what the games will look like.



I think the only vid to trust would be MGS4....I also think that these "work in progress" pics will undoubtly change....they are still working on it...



and remember...it isn't just graphics that make a game.
