Kane and Lynch 2: Dog Days announced for Xbox 360, PS3, PC in 2010
Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days has officially been announced for release on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC in 2010.
Developed by IO Interactive and published by Square Enix/Eidos, Kane & Lynch 2 promises a “raw and brutal crime shooter” which is being designed to “take players on an even more intense story experience, following two of gaming’s most disturbed criminals, through the gritty Shanghai underworld.”
The most interesting aspect of this sequel is how the game will encorporate youtube-like amateur video “inspired by documentary filmakers and the user-generated era” which promises to give a “fresh perspective to the words ‘intensity’ and ‘realism’ in video games. “
It’s hard to decipher what exactly this will mean, and how it will be used or function in the game, but it’s definitely intriguing.
“Gamers are always looking for something new and that is exactly what they are going to get with Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days,” said Niels Jorgensen, general manager of IO Interactive. “A special thanks to gamers worldwide for their feedback. They are certainly in for a shock as we, with immense pride, welcome back our two dear, violent and somewhat unfortunate friends.”
Here is one example of the kind of “amateur video” you can expect to see in Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days.
And here is another example, via a leaked viral video before the game was announced.
