Manhunt is a true example of an great horror videogame where human is a true monster and no any other fictional monsters can be lot scarier that human itself.
One of the things I like about this game is that they don't try to paint Cash as a misunderstood hero or whatever. He's no better than the enemies you kill and the game knows it.
He's far better than much of the enemies. Remember, Cash is a death row inmate who already has experience in combat. It's just he's shown as an anti-villian that happens to be the protagonist.
@@Manhunt811 I'm not so sure about that. Cash was a death row inmate prior to the main story, meaning he's committed at least one act of first-degree homicide and he seems to be a pretty violent person as he still goes to town on enemies even when performing low level executions. Cash may not be as bad as Starkweather and his cronies, but that bar is exceptionally low. He's not really an anti-hero. He's more like an anti-villain.
Forget GTA. Manhunt is Rockstar's most infamous game that nearly destroyed the company. On the plus side, it is the best and most realistic horror game around, though challenging at times. I still have my PS2 copy and beaten Hardcore with all stars. Such a shame we will never get a game like this ever again. Oh, who can't forget Piggsy?
Been playing this game for 20 years. I play it at least once per year, usually around Halloween. Man I wish Rockstar would remake this one. Or at least remaster.
It's more than ridiculous how Rockstar's best game never had a proper remake or something.. now I perfectly know that the game for some narrow minds was too violent and blah blah so completely abandoned by the developers, but c'mon all this is just ridiculous. I don't even care about the next gta VI since I already know that it'll be a online business only so all the more I would prefer a Manhunt's remake tbh.
"’It may sound surprising, but there was almost a mutiny at the company over that game. It was Rockstar North's pet project - most of us at Rockstar Games wanted no part of it. We'd already weathered plenty of controversy over GTA3 and Vice City - we were no strangers to it - but Manhunt felt different. With GTA, we always had the excuse that the gameplay was untethered - you never had to hurt anybody that wasn't a "bad guy" in one of the missions.

@@DarkLordVortex The only way that Manhunt 3 could be released, and this is unlikely, is if Rockstar sold the rights to another company that was less concerned about the financial impact of releasing such a game. The only issue with this is that it could open up that can of worms that Rockstar has tried so hard to close. If Manhunt 3 releases, people will remember Manhunt 2, and Rockstar could look guilty by association.
My cat watches me play this game and then imitates Cash by hiding behind stuff in the shadows and then attacking when we're playing with her mouse on a string on a stick toy. It shows me the simularities between psychotic seriel killers and cats.
It would appear that Starkweather chose his candidate quite well, if not too well, as this would eventually become his downfall. Cash is an extraordinarily dangerous individual. Alongside being proficient at stealth, he is capable of easily inflicting fatal injuries using even the most simple, everyday objects such as the plastic bag or wire, and is equally skillful with firearms such as the assault rifle or shotgun. Cash also seems to dislike the tramp, but it could likely be due the fact that Starkweather, who constantly teases Cash (due to his family being murdered by the Innocentz under Starkweather's orders after he rescues them), tells him the tramp is his "new friend"

3:11:14 The idle soundtrack for Graveyard Shift really sounds like the Recreation deck from System Shock 2. Perhaps it's a homage to the game, both are survival horror games afterall.
This game have always reminds me of 1970s horror John Carpenter movie like assault precinct 13 along with escape from new york. It's impossible to make a game like this now days with all this political crap.
Rockstar staff had enough nightmares with this game back then, lot of legal issues. Its violence is very low for today's standards, but Rockstar had enough pains with Manhunt, so I don't think they will touch it anytime soon.

@@ToddHoward70 yeah I overplayed the shit out of the re2 remake. Awesome game with loads of replay-ability I highly recommend replaying manhunt on Xbox tho. It was ahead of its time. It gets better and has more variety as the game progresses. It felt like the developers were still figuring out the formula and full mechanics of the game while the story was progressing. That’s why the game sucks so bad and is so boring in the beginning. It grew on me eventually because of the gritty aesthetic and some of the violent kills. The head dismemberments with shotguns are actually in some ways better and more detailed than RDR 2 and that says a lot!! . If you don’t like stealth tho, you won’t like it. Gun play is not that bad tbh if you like the old school gta games. It’s basically duck and cover combat with brains and blood splatter on walls.

Yeah unlike say.. the suffering.
Mega dr salvador from re4:
No one will care
It is the most realistic one you'll ever get. Nothing but all the bad stuff that happen in real life.
And the person himself can literally turn into a monster. Let's remember the penultimate boss Piggsy.
One of the things I like about this game is that they don't try to paint Cash as a misunderstood hero or whatever. He's no better than the enemies you kill and the game knows it.
Actually he is better but more anti hero like cause stark weather forced him to these stuff and he never wanted to all cash wanted was freedom

I remember watching my best friend play this when this came out. We were around 10 years old, give or take a few years. What a time to be alive
When this was new (I was 9 then), I watched my now-evil father played the whole game. Fun times.

Hell yeah,bully's next part should be out too
It's weird that rockstar didn't worked on animations in gta san andreas as good as in this game
I think this game needed more realism than gta to make it immersive and scary
Manhunt uses the same sound effect from GTA III when a weapon is picked up.
Yep, in fact Rockstar used a lot of the same stock sound effects and textures in many of their early 3D games.
Same universe.
