CJ didn't inherit the awesome R1/L1 wall-hug-and-peer-out shotgun to
the face technique, but his hiding in the shadows and stealth throat
cut moves are directly inherited from the original Manhunt.

Manhunt was developed circa the same time or earlier than Vice City.
The junkyards that CJ sees in SA evolved from both Manhunt and VC.

The Manhunt action figures in Zero's RC Toys Shop....

Many of you may not have liked/played the original Manhunt game.
Snuff films and criminally insane killings may not be your thing.
Others will remember the heart pounding excitement of playing and
completing this awesome and innovative game.
As a R* gamer and psycho, I completed Manhunt twice on fetish,
and twice on hardcore. What a rush it was. Good clean family fun!!!!

So, this will be a good year for me.
VCS ported to PS2, GTA:IV for next-gen,
Mercenaries:World in Flames for next gen,
and now Manhunt 2, for PS2 - PSP - Wii.
What more could any gamer ask for?

By the way, Rockstar's 'Bully' is funny as hell.
Worth the play-through. It's not GTA or Manhunt,
but it is very funny in a R* way.

I didn't post it here like I did the VCS for PS2 and Manhunt 2
threads, wasn't sure if anyone except YeeChang Lee and
myself were the only Mercs players. Sorry! Here ya go.

From my GTA Domain Forum write-up:
====================================================

Mercenaries 2: World in Flames
Pandemic Studios will be back in '07 on the PS3 for the
World in Flames.

http://www.mercs2.com/

There's screenshots and stuff, I joined the Forum.
They are some pretty cool guys, and some of the
young Pandemic CG artists, etc.

The new game will take place in Venezuela, with more action, more
challenge, new vehicles and weapons, and more chances to take ExOps to
the next level.

Mattias Nillson is confirmed to return in the next game.
Reliable sources confirm Chris and Jen will be back as well.
The newest playable character and controversies are listed here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercen...World_in_Flames

Currently, Venezuela has no need for the world's oil fields,
and political pressures, they are a self-sufficient country.
It will be interesting to see how they are exploited in the new game.

This looks even further away....2007 holiday season.
That's like a whole year away from now.

So, Mercenaries 2 is coming to the 360! Wo-hoo!
http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/766/766680p1.html
*does dance of joy* =)

Have to admit this was the last reason I was even thinking about maybe
getting a PS3 at some point. Now there really really REALLY is no
point any more.

The last 2 versions of Gran Tourismo also kinda left me cold, which is
a shame. I shall miss GT, but hey-ho.

XBox360, PC, and PS2/3.
Will be a fun game with lots of fire.

Today I got the Pandemic Studios News Email.
All the latest dope plus other cool stuff:
http://www.mercs2.com/html_emails/mar_2007_pandemic.html
(Hope you can see that^ page)

Similar to the Rockstar Email list.

If you really LOVE Mercenaries
those Pandemic news bulletins come
from signing up at the www.Mercs2.com site.
I think it is setup by the actual Pandemic artists.
But you can go there and see cool stuff
anyway even without signing up.
I just signed up to see the bonus art.

Looking at those screen shots, I can't help but think that it's gonna
have some similarities to Just Cause, which will be excellent as I
think JC absu-fcuking rocks (really, it does. try it. it's cheap to
buy these days).

I don't know how I feel them moving away from the drab look on
Mercenaries I, as I thought that really set the game apart as
'something completely new'.

Can't argue with tropical locations though, starting from VC, stopping
off along the way at Far Cry (yea its fps, technically), and
culminating with JC.
2007's gonna be a good sandboxing year. =)

Have you finished ANY races in Just Cause?

That's all that I and many friends have left.
Everything else long since done.
Those races - there's a hidden method to completing them.
Otherwise - F#CK!!!!!
Live and learn I guess, just like any other game skill....
<The Just Cause races are VERY difficult, maybe the only difficult
thing in the game>

As for Mercs2 - Can't wait!

Finished everything in Mercs, after starting new game,
<Playground of Destruction mode after the initial 52/52 captures>
except a couple of challenges.

I heard and read that Far Cry 1 was outstanding,
plus source code for free.<edit>
