Trivia[]

• Richter is (at first optionally, later canonically) the second victim that Jacket has spared so far in the first game, the first being The Girl

  He shares with Jacket and Biker the trait of being a 50 Blessings operator who survives the events of both Hotline Miami games through to the end of the series. Biker, however, is never actually shown to die and apparently fled to the desert, which — barring military bases — is an unlikely target in a nuclear war.

  .

• His name may be a reference to the secondary antagonist from the 1990 science fiction movie Total Recall, as Jacket has to remember who he really is and is secretly affiliated with Richter, similar to the relationship between Quaid and Richter in the film. In the movie, the transition to Mars is Richter shooting a rat with a submachine gun, and Quaid kills Richter’s girlfriend with a submachine gun later in the film.
• Richter’s first level, First Blood, is the first 50 Blessings operation depicted in the series chronologically (April 2nd, 1989). It may in fact be their first targeted hit in 1989 Miami, making Richter the «original» masked maniac.
• Richter is the only member of 50 Blessings to have their first and last name revealed.
• Richter’s three unused ShotgunDead sprites show him as apparently having a full head of long red hair.
• Richter has an unavailable animation of him turning the pump action shotgun like Manny Pardo.
• Ironically, people who are figuratively referred to as ‘rats’ tend to be shady, disloyal, treacherous and selfish, which is contrary to Richter’s own personality, as he selflessly risks his life to protect his mother, and even apologizes to Richard (mistaking him for Jacket), for murdering The Girl. The rat mask probably more accurately parallels how Richter sees himself.
• It’s a common saying that a rat will do anything to survive. This is likely where Richter’s choice of mask comes from.
• Killing someone in the bathroom with a silenced Uzi is likely a reference to the death of John Travolta’s character in Pulp Fiction, Vincent. In the movie, Vincent is shot in an apartment bathroom by Butch (Bruce Willis) who uses a silenced MAC-10, a similar weapon to the Uzi.
• Jacket knows what Richter looks like before ever seeing his face, as Jacket only first saw Richter’s face after confronting him in jail. The outro to Hot & Heavy has Richter recognize Jacket. It’s possible the two met before.
• As a result of fan in-jokes, some fan art depicts Richter as wearing blue mittens (supposedly sewn by his mother) as opposed to the blue leather tactical gloves he canonically wears.
• Richter, Manny Pardo and The Son are the only three characters in the game (excluding H.M. Hammarin

  Richter can fight the following factions: Mobsters, Security Guards and Prisoners.

  , who is exclusive to the level editor) that encounter more enemy factions than any other character in the game.

• Richter has the third highest body count out of the playable characters in the series, behind The Son and Jacket.
• Richter actually has two stun animations in Assault in Hotline Miami. If Jacket hits him the face with his fists or with a melee weapon then Richter will lie on the floor with a bloodied face and with a few teeth missing. If Jacket actually shoots him then he will sit on the floor holding the bullet wound in his arm while his face is unharmed.

• Richter’s car, scorched as a warning for disobeying the 50 Blessings Organization.
• Richter’ sprites found in the level editor.

Melee Weapons[]

All melee weapons, with the exception of the drill, trophy and briefcase, are one hit melee kills. Because of this, the best melee weapons are those that strike fast with a decent range. The knife is unique in that it is the only weapon that can function as a lethal melee and thrown weapon.

Melee Weapons:

• Knife (both games, seen in Level Editor)
• Baseball Bat (both games)
• Lead Pipe (both games)
• Golf Club (both games)
• Crowbar (Hotline Miami weapon)
• Pool Cue (Hotline Miami weapon)

Statistics[]

In Hotline Miami, this weapon needs to be unlocked before it will spawn normally. It has a magazine size of 30 with a very high rate of fire but is fairly inaccurate. The Uzi is used by waiters and will randomly spawn once unlocked, and the unique Silenced Uzi is wielded by Richter, as well as the player when wearing his signature rat mask.

In Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number, The Uzi is commonly found in the hands of gang members, as well as (during Apocalypse only) mobsters. It has the same magazine size as its Hotline Miami counterpart, except it does not require an unlock, and has a much slower rate of fire.

Hotline Miami Masks[]

At the beginning of most of Jacket’s chapters in the first game, the player chooses a mask for him to wear. Jacket has 26 unlockable masks in total (27 on PS3, PS4, PS Vita, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch), each providing a unique effect, except for the default mask, Richard. The effects include, but aren’t limited to, making door slams lethal (Don Juan), inverting the player’s walking controls (Nigel), and giving the player a drill at the start of the chapter (Carl). Masks can be unlocked by getting sufficiently high scores, as well as being found in certain chapters. The player can see whether one already has the mask for a given chapter in the chapter selection screen, although not all available masks will be shown there (e.g. Carl in Chapter 8.)

PopMatters получил версию игры для PlayStation 3 9 из 10, а обозреватель Эрик Суэйн написал: « Hotline Miami по-прежнему представляет собой интроспективное сюрреалистическое погружение в сознание маньяка, который живет в неоновом блеске конца 80-х. убийство групп головорезов по приказу голоса по ту сторону телефонных звонков, что в какой-то мере достаточно, чтобы заставить вас убить всех, кого вы найдете по адресу, указанному этим голосом. Вы все равно выбираете маску животного, которую хотите надеть, прежде чем входить в них зоны убийств, и в вашем распоряжении по-прежнему есть разнообразное оружие, чтобы колоть, стрелять и пробивать себе дорогу сквозь толпы русских головорезов и полиции ».

IGN дал игре оценку 8,8 из 10, подчеркнув ее «поразительное сочетание быстрого ультранасилия, насыщенного, захватывающего сюжета и блестящей презентации». В своем окончательном вердикте для игры, рецензент Чарльз Onyett заявил» Горячая линия Майами «s импульс тайны строит вплоть до его финала, где рыча цинизм предлагаетсякачестве оправданияпочему все это оборудование неонового пуха и басами, яркая кровь и раздробленная идентичность была запущена в первую очередь. Однако оправдание также обезоруживающе простое, та же самая причина, по которой четвертаки были сброшены в аркадные машины, построенные в конце 80-х годов, которые Dennaton Games так явно уважает. Зачем беспокоиться о Hotline Miami ? Потому что это существует. Потому что это весело. Потому что он заслуживает того, чтобы в него поиграли ».

Пиратство

Отвечая на вопрос Eurogamer о проблемах с пиратством , Грэм Струтерс из Devolver Digital сказал: « просто чувствовал, что не хочет, чтобы люди играли в глючную версию его игры, даже если она у них есть. Он хотел, чтобы они получили патч. Он в основном сказал: «Я не собираюсь критиковать это, это факт жизни. Было бы неплохо, если бы парни нашли это в себе, чтобы заплатить за это, но это мир, в котором я нахожусь, так что вы знаете, вам просто нужно принять это то, что есть ». Его разогнали до такого ошеломляющего уровня, и, учитывая размер файла, я имею в виду, вы не можете быть удивлены, не так ли? Вы могли бы передать эту штуку на самой маленькой в ​​мире карте памяти. Итак, она была передана на экстраординарные уровни «.

Trivia[]

Members[]

Corey (Zebra)

Corey’s Roll Dodge.

The first of the playable fans. She is extremely agile and has the ability to Roll Dodge. This allows her roll and dive, becoming temporally invulnerable, rolling under gunfire, avoiding melee attacks and knocking enemies back when entering a room. Corey wears a Miami Dolphins jacket along with khaki pants and purple knee protectors.

Tony (Tiger):

His punches are lethal, but he cannot — or rather, doesn’t want to — use any weapons other than his fists. He is able to kill fat enemies by first knocking to the floor and then performing a ground execution, as well as being able to catch dogs mid lunge, albeit with a protracted execution animation. He wears a black t-shirt along with tan body armor, knee pads, and cowboy boots. His mask consists of nature’s «danger» colors, red and orange, and may have been a pillaged mask from the first game’s «Tension» chapter.

Alex (#1) and Ash (#2) (Swans):

Sister and brother, respectively; she uses a chainsaw while he uses firearms. The player controls Alex while Ash (ideally) follows close behind, and both characters’ attacks are in complete control. They wear green football padding as body armor (with orange shoulder pads for Ash) and Alex wears an orange backpack. Alex is the only one of The Fans to be seen without a mask over the course of the game; her face is a color swap of The Henchman’s girlfriend. Alex and Ash can be seen outside Jacket’s trial protesting.

Mark (Bear):

Starts with a pair of MP5s. He is able to aim in separate directions by holding down the right mouse button (holding down just the right mouse button will spread the guns horizontally, while holding down the right mouse button and left shift will spread the guns vertically), and has a full magazine of ammo for each gun in reserve. After his ammunition is depleted, he mounts his firearms on his back and reverts to using other weapons normally, effectively giving him a quick-burnout mechanic. He wears a blue shirt and a teal kevlar vest.

Hotline Miami[]

• Biker rides a red sports bike.
• In Crackdown two police cars and a SWAT van are parked out front as the player exits the level.
• During the chapter Deadline, a black van crashes into the building and its driver and passengers attempt to kill Jacket.

• In Showdown the Father is shown to own two Lamborghini Murcielagos, one purple and one green.

Продолжение

В интервью с Джонатаном Седерстрёмом и Деннисом Ведином для Eurogamer создатели пролили свет на возможное появление нового игрового контента в будущем. Когда их спросили о готовящемся загружаемом контенте , создатели ответили: «Я думаю, что мы собираемся сделать довольно большой проект. Вероятно, он будет примерно такого же размера, как и полная игра, так что, вероятно, мы будем взимать плату за него. Это будет похоже на продолжение, но основанное на сюжете. Мы не хотим раскрывать слишком много, но, вероятно, в нем будет больше игровых персонажей, чем в первой игре. И еще пара разных историй и ракурсов. Много Многие люди спрашивали о редакторе карт для создания своих собственных этапов, поэтому мы смотрим, возможно ли это сделать. Я думаю, было бы действительно здорово позволить людям делать свои собственные этапы ».

Что касается нового саундтрека, Седерстрём сказал: «Я еще не уверен в отношении второй игры. В прошлый раз у нас было девять разных музыкантов, записывающих саундтрек. Похоже, некоторые из них могли бы написать больше треков для сиквела, но мы тоже смотрел на некоторые другие группы. Хочу, чтобы он оставался свежим ».

Намекнув, что сиквел может быть еще далеко, Седерстрём настаивал на том, что он по-прежнему привержен работе над исправлением и исправлением оригинальной игры. Официальный Твиттер Hotline Miami опубликовал фотографии титульного экрана сиквела, раскрывая его полное название: Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number . 19 июня 2013 года на YouTube-канале Devolver Digital был выпущен первый тизер-трейлер сиквела. Изначально игра была анонсирована на 2014 год, но в итоге была выпущена 10 марта 2015 года.

Hotline Miami Collection , содержащий обе игры, был выпущен на коммутаторе Nintendo 19 августа 2019 года, и Xbox One 7 апреля 2020 года.

Серия комиксов Hotline Miami: Wildlife из 8 частей, опубликованная Behemoth Comics , была физически распространена в магазинах комиксов и традиционных книжных магазинах Simon & Schuster и Diamond Comic Distributors, начиная с сентября 2020 года. Изначально комиксы были выпущены в цифровом виде в 2016 году. .
