It's Full of Vice!

Hotline Miami, a brutal 2D top-down shooter set in the neon '80s, is available for pre-order with a 10% discount for the next two weeks.

***Warning: this game is for adults only***

Every shot is deadly. Keep your composure, be lightning fast. Kill without mercy. Crush their skulls, gut them, decapitate, blow up, cut them in half. You will find yourself pushed beyond the limits of humanity. Wear your mask. Don't forgive. They're scum--the worst kind you can find in 1989 Miami. Will the bloodshed ever end? You tell me.

Hotline Miami is a as-gory-as-pixels-can-be high-octane action game set in alternative 1989 Miami. The top-down stealth shooter mixes lead pipe or katana-driven close combat and intense semi-automatic or shotgun-pumped gunplay. The game is extremely brutal and unforgiving; both in terms of what the masked antagonist is doing on screen and difficulty level. Make one mistake and it's your brain on the wall. Make no mistake and the satisfaction from completing yet another level is huge. Rarely you find a game that packs so much heat and delivers so much joy.

Dozens of weapons, battles with Miami's underground bosses, animal masks, neon corridors, pumping soundtrack, and fantastic visual style--all that and more in Hotline Miami, available for pre-order for only $8.99 until October 23 at 9:59 AM GMT.

All I have to say is: haters gonna hate. I saw this video and I am convinced that this game is just right for me.

F1ach: Looks like shit, pass.
I think that's the whole idea of the game - it is challenging and gore and bloody and difficult - it's not a "feel-good" game....

Starmaker: cactus is one of the devs, a very talented designer of "experimental" (mindfuck) games, which I like as long as I'm not the one being trolled. I love how the game looks (delicious gradients), and I will play it at some point in the future, having had the mindfuck "experience" "spoiled", simply as a difficult shooter game.
Ok, I think I understand what you are getting at. Maybe this game's a bit more "normal", because it's a commercial release? I don't know...
I think I'll look into some of his other games now ;-)

gameon: Net Yaroze game i think: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QX3FlFU2Dws

Fifeldor: Goddamn, thanks. It was Psychon, not Psycho.

Edit: The nostalgia, that PSX opening screen and music...
No probs. I might still have the old demo disc in my garden shed, lol. It had loads of net yaroze games including an awesome football ("soccer") game, and a lunar lander style space shooter which allowed you to use your own music in the background. Can't remember what it was called, but it was fun.
i'm waiting for Thursday

hitoshinji: Come on GOG, bring GOOD OLD GAMES, not this.
I was hoping X-Com would be released before the Firaxis' title hits the shelves of shops...
Graphics look meh, but the game itself looks like fun. Wishlisted for now :)

That's right, I nearly forgot that this Thursday there's supposed to be that announcement about a special deal with an indie developer.

This? I thought it was on the 18th, along with the conference.
Hopefully the dev will release a demo. The video I saw ages ago wasn't enough for me to form an opinion on the game.
