Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days demo

I quite liked the first game (although it suffered badly from virtually-invunerable-helicopter-itis in the Havana level.)

Still, now K&LDD is out, we can look forward to some news about Hitman 5 sometime soon.

Awesome demo, IOI know how to make uberstylish game. The handheld digital camera look is just so great. Gameplay is ok. Going to get it when it is 25 euros.

Hitman 5 isnt being made by IO its now been moved over to Rocksteady games. They are making it there.. as well as Batman : Arkham sequal.

Quite enjoyed it. Got a nice atmosphere to it, just wish it was a little less linear.

Posted some screens in the High Res thread.

Don't like all the pixelation and graphical effects that look like there's something wrong with your graphics card. Gameplay was meh, generic cover system, kill all grunts move to next area kill all grunts etc etc...

I thought my GPU was overheating.

Played it.

It was both biff and meh!

Even the mouse control in the menus felt floaty, a bit like a Wii mote.

shaky camera can be turned off in the options. It could be in the PS3 demo anyway

I loved the first one, was amazing imo. Story was great, characters were good.

tezmo · 27 Jul 2010 at 15:53

Yuck. I think I would rather be lied to like Calneon than watch this blimmin' thing tick by at 100k/s :/ From the comments above it sounds like I should probably cancel it anyway - booooo.

The police bots seem to move out of sync like there teleporting or sliding ,didnt expect it to be buggy

Edward01 · 27 Jul 2010 at 19:06

Quite enjoyed it. Love the characters, storey and setting, the first one suffered from just being rushed out with poor AI and hit registrar etc.

Cover system isn't great, and I wish the guns had a bit more feed back, I like the way you can shoot through cover but when you actually hit someone it isn't terribly satisfactory, they just sort of sink to the floor.

Liked the first, not impressed by the demo for the second though.

Like the way you can lie on the floor and shoot.

Wrong. IOI are making it.

Correct. The Rocksteady angle comes from their motion capture studio being used by IOInteractive, but that's all they have to do with it.

Grabbing this now, slow though

I haven't enjoyed any of IOI's games since Freedom Fighters - which rocked.

I agree (except for Hitman: Blood Money which was great). They should have put the resources used for K&L into doing Freedom Fighters 2. It is highly worthy of a sequel. God knows why they did another K&L.

if this didnt have the crappy local host thing id probably really enjoy it
oh and mute
oh and people sliding in and out of cover
and the constant crashes
