Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number

[Zevak]

I just finished A+ing every normal level on 2. Tried hard mode and this is a different game. I played the first two levels before going to sleep, and now the levels feel alot more like a puzzle. It's like the feel of some parts of the final level carried over. I like it.

 

[DimitriAwsometh]

Not the most impressive, but seeing myself there fills me with glory.

 

[Jimbob]

Wow, I just found out its possible to get an S rank in this game.

 

[Jimbob]

This is the best I got,

[Jimbob]

Anymore news on the level editor?
And I did better.

gg
At least those leaderboards aren't hacked beyond belief like the first game.

 

[Jimbob]

I don't know about that, I saw some people beat levels with characters that shouldn't be possible.

 

[DimitriAwsometh]

Well, not hacked as much as the first game.

News on the Level Editor!
http://dennaton.blogspot.se/2015/05/hotline-miami-2-level-editor.html

Spoiler

- All the characters from Wrong Number and the first one are back and can be selected, however, they fight fixed factions for each level, as in, you can't make a level with the Fans and have them fight the russian soldiers from the Hawaii segments, or have the Son fight the prisoners from the Richter levels, etc. Also, they censored a name in the character selection:

- Custom music tracks cannot be used to avoid copyright infrigment issues (Steam Workshop compatiblity and all that), and the music from the first is less likely to appear since the license of the tracks were only for the first game and not the second... at the moment.

- You can create cutscenes, and specify actions for each NPC frame by frame, create custom VHS tapes for the level selection, campaign names, even add Credits.

- There won't be a leaderboard for custom levels.

- Only a few select weapons from the first game are back (Possibly the Drill and throwables like the brick and ninja stars).

- Sprite editing is something they are trying to accomplish, but if it's coming, it won't be coming alongside the release of the Editor.

in the long run, it looks i am making a sims house only with gorier results... :v

What character do you think the censored one is?
I can't think of anyone it can be.

Richter's Mom, calling it right now
...

ok, for real:
Ninja Girl, the body guard of the Mafiya Boss from the first game

Im starting to think the Hobo from the first game.

I have some other ideas of who could it be...

- Jacket with the hospital gowns from the "Flatline" level in the first one, maybe to make god forsaken Stealth levels.
- The crew members from Payday. The crossovers from PayDay and Hotline Miami have been mostly on Payday, so I guess it would make some sense that now characters from Payday appear in Hotline Miami.

Spoiler

- The creepy eyed masked guy/Pardo with a mask/Miami Mutilator

Spoiling the next one because it is WAY too far fetched.

Spoiler

- THE DRIVER from the movie "Drive".

Dennaton Games explicitly stated that this movie, alongside Cocaine Cowboys, were the main inspiration for Hotline Miami, and in the credits of the first game in the Special Thanks segment they thank the Director of the movie "Drive".

 

[Jimbob]

Probaby Jacket from the hospital,
It was the only one you could actually play as.

 

[Kai]

Just played and beat this game. I thought it was fun. That is all.

Ninja Girl, the body guard of the Mafiya Boss from the first game

I hope you're right


edit:

or what if it is the Gang leader? lol

 

[Jimbob]

As long as we can just hit the floor and have someone else kill for us, Im down.

 

[RPG]

I just realized something else...

Spoiler

what if it's the janitors and they play as an alex & ash clone?

 

[Caleb]

I really want to have the option to select one fan. But Weddin said that feature might be available in the future, but not right now.

 

[Wisherman]

My money's on the new character being the ninja girl, as RPG already said. She seems like she'd be easy to make sprites for, considering how she only uses a katana and throwing knifes. Maybe someone can make some Kill Bill levels in the editor.

Or maybe it's...
