who's played this game yet?
it's so sick.

the kills have this weird blur to hide all of the gruesomeness, but I heard there's a code for codebreaker that gets rid of that on the ps2, I wonder if it's possible to do it on the psp with cwcheat?

I've been waiting for this game for ages.

I'm one of the few people to get hold of the original Manhunt on the PS2, so i really wanna see how this one goes.

Was that you who posted on QJ aswell? Regarding removing the blurs and stuff? Awesome isnt it!

yeah, I'm so glad there is a way to remove them. they took so much away from the game, you couldn't see any of the killing.

but investigating the games files more all of the .ini and .txt files can be modified real easily to change a TON of stuff. it's like all the configuration files from the console gta games. I think you can make it so that there is a mission select or something in the menu. I think it's the levels.txt file, and setting it to 0 will enable it. I'm not sure. I just want to get the blur removed first. then I'm going to mess with all of them.


oh, and the second level freaked me the fuck out.

Awesome. So you haven't removed the blur yet?

I haven't reached the secound level..but if it freaked you out..its going to make my pants go brown. ^_^

I removed the blur just now. it all worked.
but don't use the same .ini file for all the levels.

extract each separate one from each level and modify them separately.
each level has different settings for weather and stuff and using the same one will ruin all of it.

but it looks so much better when you can actually see what's happening.

with the blur I had no idea what was going on some times, but then with it removed I was able to clearly see the shovel used to cut the guys head off.

Alright, so this is what i dont get:
2. Extract PSP_GAME\USRDIR\GLOBAL\LV LSETUP.INI and PSP_GAME\USRDIR\LEVELS\A0 1_ES\GLVLSET.INI Do i have to do it to both?
3. Open this files (with notepad) and find
Code:

# ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# [GK] execution colour ramp options: flash fadein (sec), flash duration (sec), flash fadeout time (sec)
EXECUTION_COLRAMP_TEXTURE FE_execramps
EXECUTION_COLRAMP_FLASH_T IMES 0.25, 0.6, 0.3
EXECUTION_COLRAMP_FADE_TI ME 5.0

delete this strings. What string? You mean those sentences?
4. Replace original file in PSP_GAME\USRDIR\GLOBAL\LV LSETUP.INI
5. Replace original files in all levels in PSP_GAME\USRDIR\LEVELS\ with GLVLSET.INI
6. Save iso




SO basically, i gotta extract every GLVLSET.ini in every level and delete those selected sentences? I wanna clarify before i go ruining the game lol

yes, remove the 3 strings.
you need to delete

EXECUTION_COLRAMP_TEXTURE FE_execramps
EXECUTION_COLRAMP_FLASH_T IMES 0.25, 0.6, 0.3
EXECUTION_COLRAMP_FADE_TI ME 5.0

from every ini file.
I'll upload a .rar containing all the files already modified for each level.

http://www.sendspace.com/file/msroji
just put each file in the appropriate level using umdgen. (I needed to use umdgen 3.5 because 4.0 wasn't showing me the files)

I can see this turning into another "Hot Coffee" incident, cant you!. They added the blur so that the game would pass under the AO rating, and even be allowed in England, and so if a hack comes out to remove the blur (as you've shown above) then R*'s gonna get it in the neck!

well, the thing with hot coffee was it was a hidden art of the game, that was left out.
the thing with this is it just removes a filter censoring what was already there. and it only does it through an illegal means of using the iso.

jack thompson can get mad over this, but it's not really R* fault.

I suppose, but I can still see this getting out of hand.
Remember with the hot coffee thing, some old lady tried to sue R* for having it in game, even though she bought the game for her under 18 grandson, who then downloaded the mod. She tried suing R* even though she was also in the wrong.
I can just see a lot of parent groups getting all up in arms if this mod gets big.

true, but the big thing with hot coffee was that the content was undisclosed with the esrb. they didn't know it was there.

they knew the killing is in this game, and a patch to remove the censoring isn't that uncommon, lots of games have it. even the sims had a patch to remove the censors from the games. I believe Jack thompson got pissed over that though.

oh well.

I think once I've beaten the game I'm going to try and hack the values to remove the filters from within the game, and not through the iso.
then, if anybody is interested and wants to code the .prx that'd be great. the sdk doesn't want to install for me. the .prx will probably be easy, no special scripting or anything, just setting a bunch of values in the game automatically.

Vette do you have the full ISO?

If so, could you please upload the .pmfs of this game?

I downloaded a riped version, and without the cut scenes after each mission i'm not really getting the story.

Thanks for the unbluring thing too, i got it working. :)

I'll see if I can upload the movies.
I extracted all of the, and they come out to around 200mb, I'm raring them, and I'll see the size. I have a horrible upload speed of about 50kbps so uploading 200mb would take forever.

I doubt it'll be much smaller, but I don't really like uploading anything past 50mb.
it'll probably be better to see if anyone with a better upload speed could do it.

edit: yeah, it's 200mb for all of the movies. I'm uploading ti to megaupload since it's too big for rapidshare and it seems to be going pretty smoothly. I'll see how it works out.

edit: my isp dropped my upload back down, it was going at 100kbps before, but it's back to 50. my isp is known for doing this to prevent the sharing of torrents. which is lame. because it affects the whole upload speed.

I'm unable to upload it right now had to close it. if you still need them tomorrow I'll have the time to let them upload.

Oh. Thanks for trying anyway. Just do it when ever you have the time.

Are the cutscenes good? Like, worth you uploading and me adding? They seem to show very key parts of the story..and i dont feel to miss the story line of a game thats driven by such a good narrative.

the cutscenes are pretty good.
and do add a lot to the story. And tell you what your objective is in the mission, but I never payed much attention to them.

I'm on what I think is the final level. and it's freaky. I'm not going to spoil it or say what it's about since it would ruin the whole story, but it's going to be hard to beat. I've tried a couple times and it's real difficult. and like mission 2, this one is freaking me out.

edit: is seems T2 has already responded to the hack to remove the censoring. Good idea getting a head start on the inevitable Jack Thompson attack.

holly shit this fucking rocks!!!!
iam uncensoring mines ^_^

Can you upload them today please?

yeah, they should be up in about an hour.

thanks.

here it is

Ahh your awesome!!

Thanks alot for that! Now i can enjoy the game properly.

I just completed the game. the final mission is so odd.

damn it i cant unceser mines vette can you send me the modded files please?

Dude, its on the first post:
http://www.sendspace.com/file/msroji

I added the cutscenes. It adds alot to the game!


How many more missions after "Assassination"?

there are 7 more levels to the game. but 8 more if you count the alternate ending.
you're only half-way through.

edit: I just rechecked some missions and you've got quite a ways to go. but the good thing is you didn't miss any of the big parts of the story. the movies start to get good towards the end of the game.

damn theres no chainsaw ;_; i relly wanted a chainsaw

btw look

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HyLxDLB15mc

yep, no chainsaw.
there was supposed to be a nailgun, but you can see they took it out.

they left all of the stats and stuff for the nailgun in, but it's just cancelled out buy a "#" on each line.

but still, there are plenty of weapons to have fun with.

:_: stupid buzzsaw that'll work i think

I drilled through a few extra missions over the night. Really great game. Its a shame it wont fit on my 1GB, so i have to keep removing my music on my 2GB to play it.

Is there anything you can do to the .cso to make it less then 1GB? It comes up to 1.15 i need it to fit on a gig..

the full cso is less than 1gb. but not small enough to fit on a 1gb stick.
I think mine is like 980mb or something.

the onyl thing would be to rip the movies. I suppose you can rip the movies from the missions you already beat. that should take like 100mb away.

heh.

I just formatted my card, without backing up my savegame.

Thank god i backed up a savegame of the mission "Assasins". So now i need to start all over again. <_<

the .... fucking.... storys..... FUCKED UP!!!!!

ill bitch about the ending but i dont wanna spoil things

but the games still awsome

How far from the end am I in "Broadcast Interrupted"? These missions are pretty fucking annoying when I don't have a weapon to execute someone with.

yes you do
w8 till one of them get close to the booth you start in and brake the glass and then stelth kill a bitch

did you play the alternate ending aswell?
I like it a bit more, the original graveyard ending isn't like the rest of the game, with the objectives and stuff.

and bball:
breaking the glass will give you a glass shard as a weapon.
then knock on the wall and stay where you ware. when some come close wait till they turn away and execute them. then grab their weapon, or break more of the glass for more shards.

Thanks, I knew there must have been a way to get a weapon. So how far am I in the game?

you're pretty far. but you still have quite a way to go.
some real hard missions are going to be coming up.

i know the ending from the level "release therapy"

but did you actually play the mission?
it's completely different than that of the original ending, and the gameplay and objectives are more like those of the rest of the game.

I actually prefer that mission over the original ending mission.
except for the very last section, which is pretty confusing. you go through the whole thing you have one objective, and everything flips literally. I won't say any more though.
