Xbox 360 PS3

It's been a long time since Midway released the CG trailer of Stranglehold during the last E3, but finally we get to see some more of this quite awaited game from the Psi-Ops developers. I'll just say that it's missing a few birds to get almost 100% of the typical John Woo scenes :)

John Woo (and his movies) are from Hong Kong..it's not Japanese Cinema.
i was kind generalising i shoulds have put aisan cinema ,then would that have made you happy ?

no need to get all smart ass about it is there ???

i love hongkong cinema, japan cinema, and korean cinema...especially jhorror

you might think its a terrible generalisation and wrong but asian cinema transcends territorial boundries.

I'm with Ferret, you gotta see that interview vid. Its quite nice and has some features from Max Payne, but probably gonna mix a bit of Dead to Rights with it's own twist. Don't know how it'll truly hold up, but the game looks pretty good from the int vid ths far.

"Jap" is a common DEROGATORY term in English for someone of Japanese decent..common enough that you should know as much, especially if you're english speaking and a fan of Asian cinema. The only reason offense was taken is because you used offensive language..and not only that, you're using it on the wrong group of people entirely.

It's like calling an English man a "Frog"--it's wrong--on multiple levels.

When i said "Just name it Max Payne 3" I didn't say it in negative or positive sense but neutral :) I really dont care if some game copies another game as long as it's fun to play. I bet Saints row will be great altough its ripped of from gta, even the radar looks exactly same :)
Actualy .. Saints Row is from the same creator of GTA ..so does "Crackdown".

no offensive words were used, i cant help what YOU find offensive. what one finds and or deems offencive is purely objective..(ie one mans meat is another mans murder)

(why is it deemed offensive if a white man walked up tolets say snoopdog and said .."yo wasup my nigger" now would that be offensive because he is white?, but it is deemed ok for dr dre to say to snoop the same thing and no offence would be taken??? (because he is black)thats a case of double standards. snoop may not be offended if the white man said that but someone who over heard him say that might...?? you get me ?...its all objective


if you called me a "frog" i would laugh my socks off ..why because i am english and frog is only DEROGATORY to the FRENCH... not the english.. you could have said ...ROAST BEAF..LIMEY..POMS.. but they wouldnt have bothered me either. and if you DID call me a frog...who cares. i would laugh at you.

you could argue that those words could cause offence IF and only IF they were used in an offensive manner..ie tone of vioce or you know the actual persons pollitical view point, pesonallty and or intention to cause offence....so just get real since you neither know any of those things about me you cant comment.

and fyi i do know alot about asian cinema...i jusdt happened to make either a typo/or just too quick to post.or just plain and simple i made a mistake.....either way. ddont be so quick to 1 judge
2 condemn and
3 mock

its neither makes you look big or clever

It's being made by the Psi-Ops team so that means at the very least it's going to be a rental.

I'm worried about these vehicle sections and multiplayer. But if they'll pull it off it'll surely be tons of fun.

Check out the 'Feature 1' movie here: http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/action/stranglehold/media.html?mode=all

This game looks really very promising.. I loved Max Payne with it's action and slomo's, and this looks like a next-gen Max Payne game.. And on top of that it's developed with the help of mr. John Woo himself!! It also runs on the new Unreal 3.0 engine and uses Havok physics, so it will look absolutly beautitfull and you can destroy almost everything in this game (more then in Black).. Just check out the end of the feature movie on Gamespot how you can shoot stuff and how the level looks after a firefight, now that is truely awesome sh*t!! :D

And luckily for me it comes out on Xbox 360, PS3, *and* PC.. So I can play it on either my Xbox 360 or my PC, whatever I think is best (probably PC since it's a shooter, even if it's 3rd person).. So I might have found my 3rd must buy PC game for this year next to UT2007 and ET:QW.. ;)
