There is no better premise than revenge my friend.
this looks so much better than GTA 5
[QUOTE=Marik Bentusi;40467675]Dead wife is the go-to easy option that's been done to death tho, from Adam Jensen to Kratos and beyond. Overexposure greatly lessens the dramatic and emotional momentum of narrative devices, sometimes even to the point of becoming cliché and dragging you out of the experience with a thought of "oh, right, this again".
I'd rather have your ex-cop that's fed up with sinners running purgatory and starts operating outside the corrupted system, which of course sharpens his conflict with his superiors. Finally one day it spirals out of control and here we are. You can both see his noble intentions and those of the people wanting to arrest him as a threat to the public. If it's emotional drama you're looking for, you could always pick the token old friend inside the force that becomes something of a nemesis because he wants to arrest Pierce to stop him from himself, to prevent him from unknowingly becoming who he hates. There, everyone has a good reason to hunt each other and they're neither completely right or wrong for sticking to their beliefs behind their actions.
It's not difficult to write up these (and better) grey-and-gray scenarios if your writer just stops being lazy for a second.
There have been hints at a more substantial backstory, something about him actually monitoring his own family in paranoia (and according to this trailer it was justified). I hope there's something interesting to be found there rather than just a plot excuse to get over with.[/QUOTE]
I liked the way Sleeping Dogs did things with the story
[QUOTE=S31-Syntax;40467338]Dishonored's thing was revenge, fantastic game.
And honestly, what else could the premise have been?
If not revenge fueled by some tragic event that motivated the character, then what? He found the phone and he's fucking around? Just "decided" to become a vigilante? Ex-Cop who's trying to change the "system"? Even in the last case there, some event has to happen to make him want to do that, [I]something[/I] has to motivate the character. A loved one being killed by something or someone related to this network is the most surefire way to do it.[/QUOTE]
Death Note.
[QUOTE=BloodFox1222;40467625]They could have just gone with making him a straight-up chaos loving anarchist. revenge because of a loved ones death isn't exactly a new or interesting idea.[/QUOTE]
Yeah there's not enough games where you are just a straight up "bad" guy. Always try to do some stupid justification to appeal to the dumb audience.
And like Scot said Dishonored had a really neat lore and setting but the story was shit.
[QUOTE=DrBreen;40470081]this looks so much better than GTA 5[/QUOTE]
Why not both?
[QUOTE=Irishman23;40466789]21st of November?
Seems pretty close to the GTA V launch in September. Wonder what this will do for sales.[/QUOTE]
Same thing that happened to Max Payne 3 releasing on the same date as Diablo 3.
Disaster.
Oh man! Collectors edition you get a map of Chicago! How amazing!
I am so looking forward to this game.
Just by looking at the .gif the game looks amazing.
Well, looks like this one's gonna be the start of my figurine collection.
Jeez, If this has multiplayer that would be pretty fun, Having to do crimes but not getting killed/caught.
[QUOTE=legolover122;40471330]Why not both?[/QUOTE]
Because GTA 5 won't come out on PC when it's released.
My God, that is one sexy trailer.
[QUOTE=theseltsamone;40471619]Well, looks like this one's gonna be the start of my figurine collection.[/QUOTE]
No articulation, I'm not putting it in mine.
[QUOTE=SPESSMEHREN;40473061]Because GTA 5 won't come out on PC when it's released.[/QUOTE]
What? They never even said that.
[QUOTE=TurtleeyFP;40473345]What? They never even said that.[/QUOTE]
They HAVE said that PC will not be out the same time as console.
[QUOTE=Ridge;40473396]They HAVE said that PC will not be out the same time as console.[/QUOTE]
All I remember is them refusing to confirm anything about the PC version, then delaying the entire release to November. Did I miss something?
The trenchcoat, the voice, the way he swaggers when he walks with his hands in his pockets, reminds me of Rorschach.
This game better have mods. It better.
Looks like a movie
At first I wanted the map, then I remembered the tablet companion app which is better than a paper map anyways
if this game is done the way i think it is it will probably be one of those games you keep coming back to.
i imagine just freeroaming and messing around would never get old. you have an endless supply of bounties right? it's basically like gta4's freeroam but with all these cool sleeping dogs mechanics plus there's an actual goal (claiming bounties). also all the technological fuckery you can do.
[QUOTE=KillerJaguar;40474322]Looks like a movie[/QUOTE]
Well its a trailer so its kind of supposed to showcase it like a movie. I mean some trailers don't do the whole movie thing, but most have that "Insert action scene skip with char. voice over here"
The song:

Just remember people, don't let the hype get to you and preorder. Just be a little patient.
They keep showing the MC on top of trains, I wonder if you can ride inside them, would be less conspicuous than riding on the roof.
[QUOTE=Ray-The-Sun;40473091]No articulation, I'm not putting it in mine.[/QUOTE]
Well you want them to articulate so you can put them in cool poses, but this one's already in the coolest pose possible, so it's not an issue.
[QUOTE=Valdread;40478446]They keep showing the MC on top of trains, I wonder if you can ride inside them, would be less conspicuous than riding on the roof.[/QUOTE]
Id rather ride on top than be trapped in a box full of big brothers cameras
Looks like it will take full advantage of next gen and pc hardware unlike most games.
Fingers crossed.
Can't wait to play this with my broken ps3.
