We take an exclusive look at Kane and Lynch: Dead Men, the new game from the makers of Hitman. We get a hands-on with the new multiplayer, an exclusive look at some singleplayer levels and an interview with some of the team. In other words, we've been very busy.

Lets hope its not console third person.
Oh! it is... damn!

So the third-person is nowadays a "over the shoulder cam". Dont make any difference.. it still scks.

oh well. After seeing those photos I am going to give it an award for being the best game in the universe, just `cause what I says goes!!

/hehe, doesn`t actually look to bad though

Sounds good, I think games like Bioshock could have done with being third person.

Tim S · 7th Nov 2007, 21:09

it sounds awfully complex to me, but then I didn't get in to Hitman.

Jordan Wise · 7th Nov 2007, 22:06

never got into hit man but i must say this looks promising, however its more the singleplayer i'm bothered about, i look forward to that review

So just to confirm - the only co-op play available on PC is split screen? No LAN option?

/sigh

Pass.

Thats right as far as I understand it, yeah. Dissappointing, but not the end of the world.

Split screen PC? :O

Flibblebot · 9th Nov 2007, 14:20

How are they going to do split-screen PC? Does one person take the WASD end of the keyboard, with the other player taking the IJKL end? What about mouse control?

CardJoe · 9th Nov 2007, 14:49

From what I understand one uses a controller, the other keyboard and mouse.

Bagsey keyboard and mouse!
