    Fun Fact: You can actually find James Earl Cash’s beta model in two levels.
    1. His head on a spike outside Starkweather’s Mansion.
    2. His body crucified on a cross-shaped tree in the same level.
    3. His body again in the Darkwood Penitentiary, where you can easily find him on the electric chair. And it’s also possible to find beta Cash’s body on the stretcher.

    the first Manhunt was such a massively well made game that was pushing boundaries the industry wasn't ready for at the time, hence why the sequel got so nurtured, its a shame we likely wont see anything from this series again be it HD versions, remakes or sequels because the company is a little ashamed of what this games tone does to their image, when people accuse your company of making games aimed at making kids into psychopaths......it doesn't help having games where you intentionally play as Psychos with no choice but to murder, yeah its not a good look on paper ^^;

    My thinking on Camhedz (if they were a thing in game) would be that they are a sign of your sanity slipping.
    Like- they are either paranoid halucination of knowing you are being watched or a side effect of violence you commit and the reason you were made to commit it, but the latter one would be fitting for a different character than one you play as in Manhunt

    • @jisoochrist

      Agreed, Cash was just a merciless crook, henious enough to be put on deathrow, that was aware of his situation and just wanted to escape
      Danny on the other hand was a helpless brainwashed guniea pig that couldn't remember half of the things that happened pre-volunteering for the Project, and became even more paranoid and violent as the story unfolded, so the camhedz would've fit him better, as another hallucination and a sign that the Project was always watching him

    Tbh Manhunt aged surprisingly well. The first game still looks somewhat decent and it's hardcore af. Grainy vhs filter really adds to a snuff movie theme they went for. The ai of the enemies, the insane OST, clever stealth mechanics and sheer difficulty of melee combat really amplify the terror of being hunted. It's a very brutal survival horror they just don't make anymore and I can't recommend it highly enough.

    As much as i would love to see another Manhunt game in the works i seriously doubt it would ever happen. And the major reason being is the Adults Only rating is essential the " Kiss of Death" to video games ever seeing a release date on consoles since Mircosoft, Sony and Nintendo refuse to publish games that carry the AO rating. Furthermore many major retailers don't allow AO games on their shelves. The only other option would be for the game to be released exclusively on PC only and sold online from the developer website.

      Same I played Manhunt 1 first, but only for like a few minutes for me as much as I liked it I just wanted to play another game but Manhunt 2 really showed how insane of a company Rockstar was many people said Manhunt 1 was brutal but Manhunt 2 came even more brutal. People said, "This game is shit." The media buried this game in shit and pissed on its grave. Society put this game 20 ft under. While the people who played this game tries to dig it out. Manhunt 2 is a very unique game like Manhunt 1 and it deserves a Redemption more than any other horror game. You don't fight demons but you fight Madmen, Terrorists, Agencies hell even the own police. No other game can replace this game in horror not even The Evil Within which is much more tamed compared to this game..

    The Leo Kasper with the sleeping pad is supposed to be him when he first activates in Danny’s head. There was so much more planned for Manhunt 2 that never saw the light of day because Rockstar Vienna was closed down without warning. I’m also led to believe that the violence really did have a point like the first game, but the rush to release and focus on GTA 4 and EFLC hindered it. Manhunt 2 should have been terrifying with its MK-Ultra story but in the end it was just a dud. What was even more unusual was it almost seemed like a perfect fit for Rockstar to take a stab at government agencies in the same manner as their GTA games. Domestic Disturbance was meant to have you play as flashback Danny, since by then he was revealed to be Leo and the twist was over. He had to kill three project scientist and they sent their successful experiments out to kill you. Rockstar did a terrible job hiding the twist but the moment Danny killed Pickman was supposed to be the big reveal. But they changed the Danny skin to Leo, and never changed the voice actor.
    More weapons were features in this game to suit Leo as he can use any item at all to kill somebody.

      Ya the game felt super rushed to me. The short length and the weird enemy patrol patterns that almost seem broken are big signs that they were probably in a rush to kick it out the door. Not to mention it feels far more linear and less ambitious then the first game. I still think it was decent but it really needed to be longer and the plot could of been better I could see the twist from a mile away pretty much right at the beginning. The first manhunt really felt like a masterpiece to me I would still really like to see a third one but I doubt it will ever happen with how fragile the world has become.

    The first Manhunt has got to be one of my favorite games period, my favorite Rockstar game alongside GTA San Andreas. Excellent atmosphere, original premise, very good soundtrack, FANTASTIC voice acting, and hilarious too, interesting enemies, just a great game all around, in my opinion at least. Its nice to remember how I first learned about this game while I was waaay too young for it, telling my dad how much I wanted it but being unable to find it for the PS2, even ending up playing Manhunt 2 for the Wii before finally getting it for PC. I'm not particularly upset that the series will most definitely not get a new title, there's already enough in the series for me to enjoy, although its always nice when these games get more love. Something I do want to say is the reason why I personally think the series won't continue, and it's not because of the violence, believe it or not a lot of the sensitive people from the US have finally realized that violence in videogames doesn't actually influence how violent someone is, the reason why the series won't continue is simply money. As everyone should know by now Rockstar Games has changed, they care more about money than about their fans, which wasn't always the case, the insane way they've milked the cash cow that is GTA 5 and Online should be enough to prove it, but the way they fucked over modders because of the rushed disaster that was the GTA Trilogy Definitive Edition just to get it shipped on holiday season and removing the original trilogy from digital stores so that you HAD to buy the Definitive Edition if you wanted to play those games just makes it obvious. The Manhunt series isn't the same as GTA, or Red Dead Redemption, or even Bully, the amount of time, effort and money that would have to be put on a Manhunt 3 that is of Rockstar's standards of quality would be too much and simply not worth it when they could be putting all those resources on a new GTA, RDD or even Bully 2, or of course, milking GTA 5 for another 5 years. If I somehow could get a wish to make the series get a new game I admit I would be selfish and wish for a Manhunt 1 Remake, not a remaster, while a brand new story would be cool I have to be honest and say that with a series that's fundamentally "get behind the enemy unnoticed and kill them in the most brutal way with the most unconventional item you can come across", there's only so much you can do without changing the core gameplay while also giving a reasonable as to why you're sneaking up on the enemies instead of just using a gun, that's why the original Manhunt worked so well, Cash didn't stumble upon the setting of first the game, he was put there, he's outnumbered, outgunned and has most odds against him and he knows it, that's why executions are so effective, and why everything felt so natural and realistic. In the end, Manhunt will always have a special place in my heart, and I will continue to enjoy it for what it is and what it achieved, maybe one day contribute to the community and be the one that makes that remake, who knows.

    I still reckon they cut the clowns because they were too close to the smileys. Considering they had the babyfaces, I don't think having Gacy was gonna phase them. Similarly, the camheads would've been a touch too cyberpunk. Still annoyed that they didn't have the tramp killing binbag and surprise boss at the end of a level where he's dodging the lost. There's even an easter egg about him in some cut content for GTAIV. Can't remember the vid I dug it up on though.

I’d say Puppet Combo, Who’s made games where you play as the killer, but it would be stuck on Patreon forever and left unfinished. My advice for them is to not make anymore new games until the others are finished.

    Leo was suppose to be the protagonist in earlier versions. There was plot with puppet show that was project's way for activating sleeper agents (people that were experimented upon after visiting brothel or other place that belonged to the project). That's why Leo (or however protagonist was called) started killing in his pajamas in the middle of the night (probably it was different version of domestic disturbance). As for the camera it was probably for documenting his assassinations for the project as in some versions of psp Manhunt 2 there were models of puppet with toy camera and toy butterfly, so I can imagine that this puppet was instructing us what to do before going out to carry out the orders. After this puppet version there was a version with one timeline (that's where domestic disturbance was third level) and this version had infamous killing the family (or at least Danny's wife) section in not burned down house (it was burned after watchdogs came in looking for Danny as some unused audio hint upon). There was also version with two real protagonists which another few unused audio files indicate for (Leo reacting for being hit). Even the version that was published was heavily cut (museum or student campus levels for example). Shame. This IP has so much potential... Manhunt and The Suffering are my favorite IPs up to this day. There is nothing like them, but I hope that sooner or later they will be back.

    I'm not into actual real gore video's. In fact, i avoid those as much as possible. Those actually disturb me.
    With that being said, this game is fun lol. (As counterintuitive as that sounds).
    It's very simplistic, yet difficult.
    I really like the executions. It doesn't disturb me the least bit. Actually pretty satisfying.
    I really liked the Camheds concept. I was inspired to cosplay them. But it never happened.
    I'm surprised nobody cosplays as these character's. They're very unique and off the wall unhinged. How would you not want to dress as one of these barbarian's for Halloween?
    The environment has always been a favorite of mine. I really cherish the dark and gritty, city maze like labyrinth's full of alley ways, rooftop's, canal's, abandoned stores and malls, graffiti and trash everywhere, and just this decrepit style.
    They made The Warrior's exactly in the same sense. Which is probably why i LOVE that game as well.
    Even Bully shows remnants of that environment in the Greaser's and Townie's territory.
    Hell, even in Midnight Club 2, a literal arcade racing game, has alley ways and some grittiness in each of the cities.
    Another reason why i really like this game is because it's all about melee combat. With gun's being placed later in the story.
    I'm terrible with gun's in fps. I felt i stood a better chance with melee weapon's. So this game really gave me a chance to finally get up close and personal with the enemies. And since they were the bad guy's trying to kill you, you didn't need to have any sympathy for them. Afterall, you were placed in this hell. Now forced to try and escape and survive by doing these things.
    Sucks that so much content was cut out. L
    Imagine this in multiplayer online.
    I'm sure this is another reason why i also like the game Condemned Origins and Condemned 2 Blood Shot.
    Those actually had online. (I really missed out on that era). Imagine a First person game, but designed like manhunt, and with Melee weapons in multiplayer online only.
    A full lobby. Underground. Dark. And enemies coming out of the shadows to kill you with a pipe and machete...

    A Manhunt 1 and 2 remaster would undoubtedly be splendidly magnificent to give it a more modern appearance with graphics such as Dead Space video game series. The trouble would definitely be the severe brutality of realistic graphical violence, thereby increasing controversy due to portrayal of verisimilitude violence of viciousness contained therein. I'm a massive Manhunt fan i really wish Rockstar employers and employees would cease to put so much time into both Red Red Redemption and Grand Theft Auto with their online elements, they should develop Manhunt 3 and additionally remaster Manhunt 1 and 2 come on stop playing around and do it.

    A lot of this video is dedicated to how "disturbing" and "controversial" the series is but if you separate it from its reception at release, its honestly not. The "grotesque" executions we see are pretty obscured most of the time and are outdone in terms of violence by more modern game's that don't even really strive for ultra-violence, even chocking someone in the recent Hitman games is far more gruesome. And even if we don't feel it now you can't deny the ire the GTA series experienced from the mainstream was far harsher even if its subject matter was tamer. In the end it was all cherry-picking, especially when in retrospect Postal 2 came out the same year as Manhunt and is WAY more taboo by today's standards.

      Manhunt is more about presentation than the violence itself, Mortal Kombat while being significantly more violent presents itself in a fantastical way while the manhunt games feel more gritty and raw
      Another thing is your encouragement to be more brutal and the player knowing the fact that he chose a more gruesome execution purposefully to get a better score , In Hitman one can argue for efficiency since Agent 47 knows how exactly to kill someone as fast as possible, but manhunt's executions are slower for sadistic purposes
