Manhunt 2 details


According to Cubed3, the latest issue of the Official PlayStation Magazine offers various tidbits about Manhunt 2. Unfortunately, it seems nothing console specific was announced. However, the setting for the game was revealed and it looks to be fairly intriguing:
The game follows a scientist known as Dr. Daniel Lamb, who is locked in an asylum by a the The Project, a group backing a dodgy drugs-based weapon program Lamb was working on. He breaks out, going on the run with on his his inmates, Leo Kasper, who introduces him to a sinister world of violence.

Games Radar also has a bunch of interesting information on the title, this time to do with the gameplay:
-Kills come in 3 deadly varieties: Hasty, Violent and Gruesome.
-Various environmental kills can be used to make the most of the player's surrounding area.
-Guns can be used in stealthy situations..
-The Director, gangs, CCTV cameras and death row dodger, James Earl Cast won't be present in the sequel.
-To ensure Lamb doesn't become detected in shadows, players can control his breathing using button combinations.
-Lamb is able to climb/crawl, a control addition to the sequel.

Hasty, violent and gruesome. Why do I like the sound of that?
