Snuff films?
How can fictional lore age badly?
The physical manual that came with the game is such a fun read. I love the world building and the idea of a huge yet secret organization that'd make you regret being born if you ever tried to get out of it.
How would you have a modern Manhunt work? Have the whole operation just stream the ordeal live via the deep web or some shit?
Yes
If you want to keep the original's story about staring in a snuff film for sickos? Yeah, a dark web streaming service should work. Maybe add in some gameplay gimmicks related to that, like having a RNG viewer "voting" about how you should kill your next target, or having random chat appear on screen as the player does something more brutal than usual, etc.

>WOOOOOOOOOOOW, THANKS FOR THE BITS

Zoomer manhunt sounds gay as frick
sounds even more kino. to make snuff films become enough intertwined with actual advertisements is almost a commentary on how corporations nowadays are funding/advertising for weird shit.
Nevermind. I'm convinced.
Fricking kek just imagining the grit and violence of Manhunt along side the vapid stereotypical streamer shit sounds like it would make some serious dark comedy kino. Shame modern Rockstar will never even think of going back to Manhunt.
Reminds me of an idea I made for Manhunt 3 a while back.
Having it take place in the late 2000s would be creepy
I was thinking about it taking place in present day, but that can be pretty good aswell.
>And now we go live to Critikal doing a reaction video of you fighting for your fricking life
>Hey Brotherman, you missed my hundred bomb earlier
>Am I gonna have to drop another 20?
I loved watching this fat frick's intestines fall out.
was he based on del toro?
doubt it, del toro wasn't really a big name back then.
looks slightly like Orson Wells to me.
CUT
>Similar setup to the original only it's all being streamed live
>At random times during stages someone will donate money and the director will relay a request of said donator
>Kill someone via this method with this weapon, brawl with someone, start using ranged more ect
>These requests can be ignored but viewers will begin to donate just to frick you over as punishment
>Intentionally giving away your hiding spot to hunters, disabling your mini map for a time, spawn in more hunters ect
Honestly would make the game way more tense and unpredictable, could be kino.
It would be funny if during a stream some viewer says something racist or offensive and gets kicked from the stream despite the kind of snuff shit they've been watching and being involved with.
>ban reason: you are crossing the line buddy
>ban reason: see you soon
>Banned viewer shows up later as an unwilling hunter and is absolutely shitting themselves because unlike the others they've seen what you're capable of
OH
>Unlike the other hunters he's not physically built for this kind of ordeal
>However because he's seen you in action he's also aware of common tactics you use
>He can detect you much easier than everyone else and less likely for fall for many isolation attempts
>If he even gets a feeling your nearby he'll alert everyone else
Maybe randomize it so that sometimes it's someone who IS built for it
I was thinking of the player first seeing him and feeling real sorry for him and then growing to hate him when they realize how much of a pain he is to deal with. That and it would make him stick out from other hunters who I'd assume he'd stick by as much as he can. If he's a priority target he'd need to be extinguishable.
>When you execute him show the chat cheering you on as you brutally murder him for being racist
>End up teaming up with him to escape
>Oh god, he's given Samboslayer69 a shotgun and they're over the fence!
>This is a hidden option if you managed to pick off everyone besides him
>You get separated next stage
>You later on find he was recaptured and was brutally murdered
>You can find the footage of it in a secret area
>Director and chat taunts you as you watch
Get with some lads and make a mockup as a mod for either the first or second game. Would be a fun project to toy with
I do gamedev on the side but at the moment I'm only a solodev and nobody I know could potentially contribute to a larger project like this. I do like this concept (some of the ideas in this thread are fricking great) and would be interested in writing up a design doc, maybe even as it's own standalone thing separate from Manhunt. Doing another project atm so I may look to see after.
Also these homies need to be in it
>I've got something on my gaydar haha!
it was a different time
>Bit where you're locked into a room and have to fight 1 on 1 like the original game
>Director later implies it's currently being reacted to for millions hits by normie streamers reacting to it
>They don't know the source and saying how totally crazy it was thinking it was just another fighting video
Oh
Streaming via the deep web is pretty much impossible.
Enough normies believe red rooms are a thing so it wouldn't be the hardest concept to sell.
It's possible if the quality is low enough.
No, it absolutely isn't. You need like 5 minutes to load a 30 second 480p deep web hosted vid. And that's on a good day. No matter the quality, streams just aren't happening.
I don't remember tor being that slow.
LARP better, moron
Welcome to the Game II was pretty spooky. The "dark web" aesthetic is barely touched despite how prevalent it was for a few years.
I like it
should be about a man going against a corrupt government while recording all the carnage
This game was disgusting and bad for children unironically. It should have been banned
We will never get manhunt 3.
this game was great until out of nowhere it becomes a third person shooter halfway through
>the streamers girlfriend joins the channel
>there are other streamers just like you and you have to fight them at some point and are often treated as bosses
Wasn't manhunt set in the 90's?
It had a few GTAIII cars randomly thrown in, so maybe. Carcer City is canon to all GTA eras, either a character or a piece on the radio will talk about the city.
It reused a lot of Vice City assets. Mainly the police cars, Little Haiti (ghetto) textures, props, and the entire layout of the Junkyard. It was developed at the same time as Vice City, which is why it shares so many designs with it.
It takes place during the fall of 2003, just two years after GTA III.
Manhunt 1 aged like fine wine
ok find me a livestream of a prison fugitive killing masked gangs right now
No, chat. I'm not gonna disembowel him. I already hit him in the knees with the bat. I'm not gonna. Okay fine.
But manhunt is itself set in the past. That's a moronic point. As moronic as saying researching crossbows in a medieval strategy game is poorly aged lore because we have assault rifles now. Doesn't make any sense.
Manhunt 3
VR snuff films
'true gore' came out in 1987, 'traces of death' and 'engineering red' came out in 1993, 'snuff video: volume red' in 1997, 'banned from television' and 'banned in america' in 1998. you could already legally access stock gore footage pre-2000s without the internet.
it wasn't just about gore. he was making bespoke productions, with porn-style plots and gimmicks, for a wealthy and depraved audience. it was more like the shit Marc Dutroux used to do.
Deep web vs Dark web
weeb web
We will never get a streamer manhunt sequel because of christchurch and buffalo
Just have the player play as an unwilling participant and focus on the whole dark net myth shit.
that one pig boss fight before the end really made me shit bricks
