New Kane & Lynch trailer sets the bar high

We've been impressed with the IO Interactive (Hitman) title Kane & Lynch: Dead Men ever since the first trailer popped up nearly a year ago. While we haven't seen much in the way of gameplay, the trailers so far have shown that Kane & Lynch should offer a compelling story at the very least. There are emotional relationships, interesting characters, and, of course, plenty of action. The latest trailer is no different, giving us a glimpse at the life of Kane as he writes to his daughter prior to looks like an unexpected prison break. If the final game can live up to the cinematic caliber of the trailers (and judging from our E3 impressions, it might), Kane & Lynch could be a real treat.

Nice. Now I have to decide whether to get it to PC or Xbox since it has Games for Windows Live support (those addictive achievements!)

This game is single player only, right? Why would they make a game about TWO people and not make it co-op?! Especially in a time when co-op is "all that and a bag of chips" as the kids say.

Lharmon,

I think it does have coop. That being said I haven't heard anything about multiplayer which I really think they should do.

I have faith that the game will be good, I love the Hitman series, but the lack of game footage was making me a touch nervous. Last week when I finally got to see in game play I knew I was going to love it. I have a hard time figuring out if I want this more than Assassins Creed or just love them the same. So far I don't see any upcoming titles as being the middle child getting no love from ol' Neon Jebus.

The game does have co-op. In single player mode you only get to play as Kane though.

Is Kane schizophrenic? At times, it almost sounds like he's talking to himself.
