Some of you have been asking for further facts on Stranglehold. Well here they are:
Signature Cinematic Action
Stranglehold allows gamers to play a John Woo-directed action blockbuster movie. Dual-wielding, stunt-laden gunplay combined with massive destructible environments ensures that Stranglehold will be a true tour-de-force. The environmental interactivity and two-fisted gunplay all come online, bringing the experience to a whole new level.
Amazing Gunplay & Stunts
Gamers will experience smooth flowing gameplay, such as running up railings, swinging on chandeliers and leaping onto moving objects, all without interrupting intense gun battles.
Blockbuster Hollywood Talent
Featuring the cinematic flare of acclaimed action director John Woo, Stranglehold will also benefit from Woo’s direction on storyline, camera placement and cutscenes. Starring international action-star Chow Yun-Fat as Inspector Tequila, the game’s cast is also comprised of other A-list Hollywood talent.
Environments as Weapons
Using the Massive D™ physics engine, bring the world down on your enemies, carve your own realistic path of destruction through environments and maneuver through unique piles of debris which persist in the environment.
Intense Gun Battles
Engage the enemy in Tequila Time™ by targeting and firing in real-time while the world dramatically slows and enjoy the exhilaration of running up railings, swinging from chandeliers, and leaping onto moving objects - all without complex controls.
Unreal 3.0 & Havoc
Using a highly modified version of the Unreal 3.0 engine integrated with the Havok physics system, Stranglehold will breathe new life into game environments and characters with stunning graphics. Incredible physics make it possible for everything in the world to be destructible and interactive, allowing for an ever changing battle ground depending on how players approach different situations.

Hi,
Can anybody confirm that the ‘360 & PC versions are going to be available (3?) weeks in advance of the PS3 release date?
Seems to be a recurring theme with PS3 titles…
BFN,

Don’t bother buying this game unless you have a US playstation 3. Midway are being pricks and only releasing the special edition of the game with a free copy of hard boiled in the US and to ad insult to injury they are putting region locking on the movie so you can only play it on a NTSC PS3.
When i posted on the Midway forums and asked why they were putting a region lock on the movuie a developer came on and told me that the eruos will still buy it at the special edition price because they are “dumb fucks and should be happy to even getting it released in PAL regions”. i was then banned and my post removed.

Thats definately annoying about the region locking; still, the game looks pretty good. I guess I’ll wait to see what other people make of it before I bother buying it or not.

This isn’t a port. Multi-platform since the beginning.

I’m not buying it unless it includes a UK version of Hard Boiled, it was a big selling point for me and to have it not included is enough to make me not buy it.

…so we’re not getting the SE with the movie over here in PAL land? Is that correct?
Can Threespeech confirm this?

Doesn’t look like se coming to us here in Europe.
Lucky me I bought my Ps3 when I visited US December 2005!

Just buy the movie on DVD, it can be found for less then the $10. extra charge and it’s not HD anyways.
