By that I mean Rockstar North, the studio behind the Grand Theft Auto series. This website is not what it appears. Here's the skinny on the game:
It's called Manhunt, and it's Grand Theft Auto gone survival horror. You're a criminal on death row and your lethal injection is faked (you're sedated instead of killed). When you wake up, you're in an abandoned slum called Carcer City, a city wholly owned by an extremely rich man who throws criminals in there for his sick entertainment. Like a reality show, cameras are everywhere. It's your job to survive and get the hell out. That said, this is not your teenage child's GTA. Rockstar North says they're making a serious game - and think about how the cartoonish violence of GTA had everyone up in arms. This game is aimed at seriously disturbing the player - and they'll most likely succeed. Here are some more differences from GTA:
-Stealth-focused gameplay - you have a noise meter
-Much darker color scheme
-The roughly 20 weapons are much more low-tech, mostly blades and blunt objects (and plastic bags). Guns are rare.
-Details on cars are unknown This is exactly what the industry needs. It's GTA gone real, and this will force the industry to grow up and it'll force society to accept games as legitimate stand-alone entertainment. Expect some legislation to come out of this game (probably banning sales/rental of M-rated games to minors universally), but it'll be more than worth it.
