Hatred

Can I rape things?

Eah, you can basically do the same thing in all the GTA games. Really don't see the big deal. It's more graphic, sure, but then again so was Prototype... So what's the big deal? It's the shock value of the idea of a game like this that's more staggering than the actual game-play. But I can guarantee that murdering pathetic "enemies" that can't defend themselves gets really old really fast.

Expect a lot of "videogames are the cause of every shooting ever" news reports when this comes out.

Looks disgusting. Shooting people in videogames can be fun and challenging, if it gets the right setting. But not if they want to make sure, you feel that you are killing innocent people. Postal was fun, because it was a parody, and the whole world was bizarre, but this is just some pathetic pscychopath developers work, for the same people.

the edge cuts me like a knife

also it's going to do terribly kek

It's got my interest, partially because I'm against censoring what can and can't be in games. Also, admittedly because I'm waiting to see the critics whining and media backlash once it gains more popularity/infamy.

lol

Looks vile. Like the first Postal.

I don't know. In my mind this increased violence seems like an attempt to gain publicity and/or save a niche among teens who want to be perceived as tough by playing a mediocre top down shooter.

Damn awesome, if it comes to steam i'm getting it.

Holy fuck, NO!

awesome

Going to be fun following this.

I'd Buy That for a Dollar!

It looks like it's gonna be a fairly well MADE game, especially for an isometric shooter....
But so terribly designed, the story, if that trailer's all it really ends up being, IS RETARDED!
If that's been the main character attitude all his life I'm pretty sure the police would have picked him up for minor crimes much earlier.
Though if they're really as scared and incapable as the trailer makes it look, who knows.
If they can't freaking shoot someone, or at the very least taze someone who's quite obviously about to blast their brains out, maybe they wouldn't be enforcing any lesser laws either.

This isn't a psychopath simulator, this is a "2edgy4u" teenage simulator. Also the dialogue sounds almost exactly like something I recently wrote for my ironically edgy RPG that I'm making.

A psychopath simulator would basically be Starcraft with the Sim's emotions. Just playing with people and seeing how angry they can get at each other and watching carnage unfold.

It really doesn't look like an amazingly fun game. I feel like I would get bored very quickly.

Have you played Postal 1? This trailer pretty much summarizes what's Postal 1 about. Yeah sure Postal 2 had a funny side but not Postal 1. It had some disturbing psycho diary entries of the main character before each level, very creepy music and the goal of each level was just to massacre everyone. There was even a counter how many people are still alive in that level no matter if they were police or civilians.

Will play while listening to Burzum. Edge 10/10

This just screams satire. It's like every 13 year old emo's dream videogame, there's no way that these devs are serious. It looks like a Grindhouse mockery of Newgrounds era shock games.

Postal might have had a sense of humour but it was literally about a dude going insane and going on a murder-rampage, and had deliberately dark tones to underline the guys madness. This is very similar, only a modern remake with graphics and budget to reflect it.

Besides, it's a smart business move. Controvesy sells and gets undue media coverage. Plus we already have over the top violence in games, just the lampshaded kind with "It's okay because they're the enemy!" or "They attack us back so anything goes!". The only difference this game has is that it acknowledges the horror of murder/killing and actually puts it into a context and light that makes more coherent sense. It may seem like it is glorifying psychopaths but it is actually more rubbing your nose in the subject. The only difference here is that it's both self-aware AND it makes a point of having unarmed civilians as targets, rather than just forgettable ragdolls waiting to happen with a token penalty for accidentally killing them (in ways that would in actuality be quite terrible).

Consider the actual gameplay factors that could be used here too. Sure, to start with, it would be a random "check out our graphics and edgy concept!", but work itself into progressively harder situations. Your psycho just wants to cause havoc and murder people, but the police are going to get involved quickly, and there will likely be civilians with sidearms or that might take up improvised weapons to defend themselves. It could turn into a weird kind of cat vs mouse, dog vs cat kind of game. Whether or not they make the game enjoyable without relying on simple shock value is a different matter entirely.

Put an appropriate age limit on it. Let the adults decide for themselves if they want to consume it.

Postal 1 wasn't funny in any way... but having watched the trailer for Hatred, I have to say it's much more brutal than Postal 1.

They should add the tagline: "If only he had video games to get rid of that extra Hatred, he might have become a respectable member of society!". Preferably in pink.
