This is a nice Biker cosplay. Simple and effective.



Found it on Twitter a few days ago.

Unrelatedly, apparently there was a few plot details leaked. Who knows if they're true.

The director is the bearded man from the previous game. He met Jacket at some point and that inspired him to make the movie. Jacket is the Pig Butcher using an alias. :iiam:

So, the latest patch fixed a few of the bugs making the game really easy.

Namely you can be shot when executing an enemy, you can be shot when you're right up against a guy and dogs will whip around to kill you.

Unrelatedly, I tweeted Dennis Wedin asking if the Biker would be in HLM2 or not and he said that 'You'll find out!'.

If the Biker and Jacket are both in HLM2 I won't know what to think. :psyduck:

Both stories will have happened.

It doesn't have to make sense (though I think it does).

Cactus said something implying that.

I'm wondering if we're going to play as the Biker in the pre-Hotline Miami levels from earlier in the 80s.

Then again we might end up with the ninja girl from Showdown because there's more then one female playable character in this and none of the Fans are.

There's a (fantastic) British anthology show called Black Mirror, and the episode White Bear is incredibly HLM-esque. Not just because it features homicidal maniacs in animal masks with improvised weaponry, but because it touches on the same themes of audience participation ("Do you like hurting other people?") and genre conventions that make HLM so great.

Is it the official(?) Jacket jacket that one nerd shirt company was doing? I was thinking about getting that one, but the end result really didn't seem to look right color-wise, I wasn't feeling the type of letter they used, and it was pretty pricy for something that felt off to me.

I know they wanted to go off of that one promo poster, but even that didn't feel like it clicked somehow.

Nah, I got a cheap jacket from China.



Me and a friend of mine who does art direction on films bloodied up the Jacket and hosed up the bat after that one was taken.

The jacket is a softball jacket from a local school (Crescent Valley Softball) found at a thrift store. I wasn't around when he put on the blood, but I think it was food coloring/water/corn syrup from a spray bottle. It looked great but make him sticky as hell.

I found the jacket at Goodwill. It's from a local high school, I'll bet there's something similar at any thrift store.

I put homemade fake blood into a spray bottle and had a friend fire it at me at an upward 45 degree angle or so, then hung everything up and let it dry (fans blowing on everything) for a few hours. After that I laid the pants and shirt out flat and thickened up a few spots that I felt needed it. The jacket I had hanging the whole time, the vinyl material of the coat let the blood make that streaked look.

I think the only reason I got it to work with the spray bottle was making the blood myself. I used this recipe: http://www.wikihow.com/Make-Fake-Blood

I ended up using over a bottle and a half of red food coloring before I felt it was a deep enough red to add some green and I didn't add any blue, ymmv.

Satanos posted:

To me both stories fit together nicely.

Jacket fought Biker and lost. Biker stomped on his head but didn't make sure Jacket was dead. Jacket afterwards dragged himself to his apartment to find the rat sitting there. The Janitors, scared that Biker could've followed Jacket somehow, sent the rat to cut off this loose end. Jacket survives and spends the next few levels following the false lead that the Janitors were feeding him about the Russians. When the Russian wheelchair guy spoke with him, he gave the impression that he didn't know what the gently caress was Jacket about. Some random rear end in a top hat/hitman that has been jumping their operations for some reason. Biker, while living quite the indulgent lifestlye, he comes off as someone that doesn't take drugs or at least has that vice under control and has a clear enough head to track the Janitors down. Jacket was hosed up from the beginning.

Well, I'm sure we all had fun with Hotline Miami, but really. It's old. It's yesterday's news. And the sequel will just be more of the same.

We need something innovative. Something different. Something that is in no way a transparent Russian ripoff.

It's all about Hotline Kavkaz now.

If it's a prank by Hotline Miami's creators it looks like there's a little too much work put into it for that. If it's a deliberate rip-off it looks too similar to the real deal to be safe from copyright claims. I am very conflicted about how I'm supposed to take this.

Most recent thing I've seen was the ps blog saying it's coming out this fall. That's for ps4 though, and I'm not sure if it's getting launched on all platforms simultaneously.

There's also a video called something like Hotline Miami 2 - B Roll that has some otherwise unseen cutscenes in it (which is an interview with the Pig Butcher's actor).

Also they're showing it off at some convention now so maybewe'll see more.
