Saw a shot of the interrogation interface there, hopefully it's more engaging than the Punisher system was.

It looks nice, but does anyone know if it'll be that interesting to someone who hasn't watched the show?

Then again, I haven't watched TV in years (save downloaded anime), to busy playing games.

This game makes me feel vulnerable, because I know I'm going to buy and play through the whole thing no matter how good it is. I predict it'll be about a 6.5. That's an odd prediction, but that's how I feel. But even if it's -4, I'll still play it.

Be good to me SCEE.

He almost looks like Max Payne. "They kidnapped my daughter, and now I'm pissed!"

It would be so awesome if you had to beat the game within 24 hours and if you died or let any important characters die you had to start all over, even if you were on hour 23.

[Scaryboy]

No, that would in fact be anti-awesome.

[Chagrinful]

Wow he carries a semi-auto gun in almost every screenshot, just like the show!!!

[Grimgrock]

It's more like "My daughter went and got herself kidnapped due to a complete lack of common sense..." or "My daughter was cornered by a mountain lion..." ...and now I'm pissed.

The really funny thing is that it is more likely that he is more pissed at her for getting kidnapped again.

Love the show so I hope the game PLAYs well, cause the graphics is mediocre at best :/

I guess I am the only person on earth who found the show lacking, predictable, cliche and occasionaly boring.
Hilarious how the episodes that happen "in real time" and depict events that happened in an hour are actually 41 minutes long (including the credits)...

[Vega]

DevDict, you're entitled to your opinion but I'd just like to point out a flaw in that events do continue to occur during commerical breaks, we just don't see it. They typcially cut to commercials while people are driving somewhere or some other boring thing is going on. They always show the little clock on the screen just before commercial breaks and after commercials break and there's always been 4 or so minutes elapsed (however long the commercial break was).

No idea, but while the plot of the show is gets quite complicated, each of the four season are largely independent, taking place on a different day sometimes years apart. From what I've read, the plot takes place after the end of season 2 where at the end we see the president attacked with some biological agent (it seemed sorta tacked on to the last fifteen minutes). Season 3 starts like 3 years later and we don't really find out what specifically happened. It's like the writers changed their mind and decided to go in a copletely different direction, so I'm really curious about the video game to find out what happenned between seasons 2 and 3.

And I don't find the show at all predictable, the writers seem to go out of there way to make the most implausible, out of the blue plot twists. It's like they use a dart board to figure out who's a bad guy (and the real mastermind behind todays terrorist attack is, uh... Chloe, yeah that's it, bet you didn't see that coming).

[RMan]

Yea, I was kinda hoping that one of the later seasons jumps back and covers a day that happened between season 2 and 3, that way they could have an excuse to feature characters that died in season 3. Personally, I like the show and the game looks promising, but it's all about the execution with a title like this, the concept and style is already pretty well known.

It's more like "My daughter went and got herself kidnapped due to a complete lack of common sense..." or "My daughter was cornered by a mountain lion..." ...and now I'm pissed.

That made me laugh uncontrollably. Thank you.
