Stranglehold demo out
- Thread starter SiC-Disaster
- Start date
Except Max Payne and Stranglehold aim for 2 completely different things IMHO.
But i agree, Max Payne is more my style too

Noir is cool and all, but this is Hong Kong Heroic Bloodshed. And it's got Yun Fat Chow reprising his role as Tequila, c'mon people.

Just played the demo.
There are no graphics options, controls are kinda annoying too: if you walk into something Tequila will slide over it, and with control he will duck behind it... Now you can see the trouble there in a run and gun shooter, right?
Action is kinda cool, not as cool as Max Payne though cause its to over the top, but i like the fact all debris keeps lying around. A minus to that is that bodies DONT stay, so in the end when you look back you see a thrashed level but no bodies, wich is kinda lame. Kinda makes you feel like a hooligan with no life.
Other then that, i like the precision aiming feature, where you can target parts of the body for a 1 shot kill.
You dont have to reload however, wich i liked in for example Max Payne 2 where you'd reload with a swirl in slowmotion and then proceed on killing enemies, wich was cool.
However in John Woo movies they barely ever reload, perhaps maybe only outside of action but never in action lol, so... I dont know, it should be ok in that case but it still feels weird.

I'm trying to download it off filefront and I'm getting 0.2 kb/s. For a 2gb demo that takes ~2811 hours apparently.

Downloaded and installed the day it came out, went to go start it, and crashes my comp. It'll show me all those stupid .bik videos at the beginning, then during the menu loading screen (where it shows the controls) it just turns my comp off. Did it 3 times, then after that I said **** it and uninstalled. Never had a game do that to me before with this comp. I have my latest video drivers, and yes my 7600 GT supports shader model 3.
To answer Arto's question; this game most likely needs shader model 3 since its a UE3.0 game.

It's getting downright embarrassing how FAT games are today. So much content for so few hours of play. Will Wright has a point.
