1080p Hard Boiled with Stranglehold

As was confirmed some time ago, the PS3 will be receiving a Collector's Edition version of action shooter Stranglehold this Fall.

Packaged with the standard game, we'll also get behind the scenes footage and the full Hard Boiled movie, directed by John Woo.

However, confusion ensued when trailers released on PlayStation Store were worryingly low res.

Midway has cleared up any fears by confirming that Hard Boiled will be remastered to 1080p for the PS3 version of Stranglehold.

The Xbox 360 will also be getting a special package, but it will only contain the behind-the-scenes footage.

hopefully this movie-based game is good

that and hope PS3 gets a good port, PS3 CE is the best edition for this game

[timmyp53]

I mean who in the hell thought it was DVD quality? If thats the case the 360 would of gotten the movie pack in in also.

A was a little worried too when I saw the preview. In truth its not going to be the best quality BR around since its such an old movie but still an excellent edition and plenty of reason to get the PS3 version if you have the choice. Its a shame they didnt pack "The Killer" in too, even though its not the same character, it is Woo/Fats best.

Is the game in 1080p as well?, because thats definitely a factor for me now since I got a 40" Bravia 1080p. I just got The Darkness on PS3 (had to wait a month longer than the Xbox version) and it looks great. Nice game. Good to see BluRay actually making a difference.
