Gross new Hotline Miami trailer fits the mood

Wear something fancy

Pig masks. Are they ever not terrifying? This trailer for Hotline Miami, a mix of live action and footage taken from the top-down action game — or, in Devolver Digital’s words, the “top-down f*ck-’em-up” — seems like a natural fit.

It’s at this point I remember that designer Jonatan Söderström (aka “Cactus”) is involved with the project. Uh huh. Hotline Miami is launching soon through platforms like GOG.com, Steam, Get Games, and GamersGate, so if you intend to pre-order, you’d best get on that before October 23.
