It's Tequila Time
Stranglehold Info & Screenshots on Voodoo Extreme is the press release
announcing development of Stranglehold, an Unreal-engine third-person action
game due in Winter 2006. Described as a "spiritual sequel" to
Hard Boiled,
John Woo's classic action movie, the game will feature Chow Yun-Fat returning as
Inspector Tequila in virtual form and Tequila Time, a variation on slow-mo
bullet time described as "innovative," perhaps the result of drinking too much
tequila. The first
preview for the game is on IGN, and here's a bit from the announcement:
Acclaimed action director John Woo presents Stranglehold, a stunning
3rd-person action adventure videogame for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC. A
"spiritual sequel" to Woo's action masterpiece, "Hard Boiled," Stranglehold
redefines the action gaming experience with its acrobatic gunplay, thrilling
cinematography, frenetic combat and incredible Massive Destructibility (Massive
D). Chow Yun-Fat reprises his signature role as Inspector Tequila, pitting
gamers as a take no-prisoners cop waging a personal war with Hong Kong crime
lords. Tequila's loyalties to the force are tested when his ex-wife is kidnapped
by the Russian mob in Chicago. Tequila struggles to balance his duty to uphold
the law with doing what it takes to save his family.
