Inside Hotwire 3D

Stranglehold is an exhilarating third person action shooter based on John Woo’s influential action film, Hard Boiled Run. You play as Chow Yun-Fat known as Inspector Tequila. Your goal is to take down organized crime bosses who stepped over the line when they took your family. Some of the key features of the game include dual-wielding, stunt-laden gunplay combined with destructible environments that are spectacular in scale. Using a highly modified version of the Unreal 3.0 engine integrated with the Havok physics system, Stranglehold will breathe new life into the background and characters with stunning graphics.

Incredible physics make it possible for everything in the world to be destructible and interactive, allowing for an ever changing battle ground depending on how players approach different situations. In a typical John Woo fashion, you will be running up railings, swinging on chandeliers and leaping onto moving objects, all without interrupting intense gun battles. You will engage in intense gun battles in matrix-like episode, and maneuver through unique piles of debris, which persist in the environment. The project is currently in development at Midway’s Chicago studio by the critically acclaimed Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy team, led by industry veteran Brian Eddy. The game is slated this summer.
