PS3 exclusive Stranglehold content

"We saw a lot of great games at E3 last week, but one of our favorites was Stranglehold, an action title that had some great ideas about how to be more like a movie while at the same time not giving up the interactivity of a good game. We knew for a while that Midway was going to take advantage of the extended space provided by Blu-ray on the PS3 and include the movie prequel to game, Hard Boiled, on the special edition disc. But will the movie take advantage of the format? News from Evil Avatar gives us the good word:

Short and sweet. There was some confusion, but I just got confirmation that the Special Edition of Stranglehold on the Playstation 3 will indeed include a Remastered Hi-Def version of Hard Boiled. There was some confusion on whether the movie would be in standard definition or not."

Cool a movie and a game I like where they are going with that one...

[lVlemphizStylez]

you arent seriously anticipating a game with this guy in it are you???? I'd play a game with jet li before one with him...

Mr. Fat is amazing! He is a pioneer... Jon Woo does not just chose some random joe shmoe to play a part like this. In the movie or the game...

[lVlemphizStylez]

= / it looks kinda cheesy IMO...

I guess you haven't seen The Killer then...

Btw, this isn't news. It's been posted long ago.

Hard Boiled is an amazing movie. This game looks amazing, can't wait for it to come out! Hey has anyone here seen "the killer" by John Woo and Mr. Fat? also an amazing movie!

I hope the PS3 version of the game is not poorer than 360's in anyway, as the PS3 Collectors Edition is the best version as far as content goes

[MK_Red]

Now I definitly have to get the PS3 SE. Remastered HD Hard Boiled!? I would buy the thing even if there wasnt a game on disk let alone the full sequel, Stranglehold.

that one day MS realizes benefits like this one to be able to incorporate material like this when having access to a Hi-Def Disk format. Just think if this became a trend. Like if they came out with the game "300" for PS3 or 360... and you get the movie too. We can only hope

[ShiftyLookingCow]

Stranglehold is a special case. I bet 300 the game would suck totally.

[MACHone]

They did make "300: The Game." And yes, it sucked. Totally.

[ichimaru]

i guessv it iss kinda fair, 360 gets a demo

[THX7168]

What do you mean? The PS3 is also getting a demo. It won't be at the same time but it will be released on the PLAYSTATION Store.

I don't see motives to preoccupation on the hi-def or standard image, since we can just upscale (yes, it's not like one is as best as the other form, but is a way).
