Following on from yesterday's full trailer, IO Interactive has let some fresh new screens for Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days slip onto the Internet. Although the selection is small, we get a good idea of what James Seth Lynch and Adam "Kane" Marcus will be getting up to in Shanghai -- shooting. Lots of shooting.
Interestingly enough, the screens seem to depict the same low-fi visual style as the trailer did, making everything look like it's been filmed with a bad mobile phone cam. It's not yet known if that's just for all the promo material, or if the game itself will have a similar visual effect. Could be quite interesting.
In any case, I still think Kane & Lynch has massive potential as a game series and I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Dog Days. I really hope it turns out well for IO this time around.

I also like the grainy style, and the setting.
hopefully, but i doubt, they learned their lesson. Hitman's formula isn't great so don't try and exploit a weak point.
But I'll amuse myself with repeating in a new thread: Yes, the Kane And Lynch stuff is grainy on purpose.
Yes, the game will be like that, going for what they want to be gritty and almost as if the game camera were something you'd see off YouTube (I don't really get the YouTube reference, I guess Sweden has bad internet connections).
But the actual developers told all this to Game Informer. So yeah, if grainy images or shaky cameras bug you, you can already write off Kane And Lynch from your games to keep an eye on. It's not just a trailer thing.
Me, I'm excited because I think IO are good enough developers to learn from past mistakes.
