Manhunt 3

Manhunt 3 is an upcoming stealth-based psychological horror/slasher video game being developed and created by none other than Rockstar North and Rockstar Toronto and published by the one and only, Rockstar Games. It would hypothetically act as the one and only, definitively third and final installment of the Manhunt Trilogy and is a direct sequel to the first game while at the same time, including references of the second one in addition to the game itself incorporating a bunch of elements of it too (and on top with all of that, it'll truly end the series on a conclusive note), which were released in the years of 2003 and 2007. The game will be released in the near future, very soon.
== Plot ==
In 2008 (five years after the events of the original game and as well as a pair of years after the events of the second one), an undercover Liberty City police detective is sent to Carcer City to investigate recent deaths in the area which are believed to be involved with the unstoppably corrupt, undeniably unstoppable, despicably dishonored and corruptively undefeated CCPD police force. The detective, however, becomes one of the hunted, as a number of gangs in Carcer (and to a lesser extent, Cottonmouth) are sent after him/her as a big part of a snuff film by Valiant Video Enterprises, the company that distributed films directed by Lionel Starkweather up until his death in the year of 2003. The detective must fight his/her way through Carcer and Cottonmouth's most notorious, naughtiest, deadliest, dirtiest, strongest, stinkiest, smelliest, sturdiest and nastiest street gangs, paramilitary and corrupt police officers before reaching the new man behind it all: Mr. Nasty.
== Gameplay ==
The game features the same three-color "executions" of the first two games: hasty (white), violent (yellow), and gruesome (red). The game features a "weapon wheel" similar to the game Max Payne 3, which features four slots: one for heavy weapons (red), such as the likes of baseball bats and assault rifles, one for medium weapons (blue), such as crowbars and handguns, one for light one-use weapons (green), such as plastic bags and barbed wire, and one for lures (yellow), such as empty glass bottles, tin cans and bricks. The player can only carry one of each of these weapons at a time, but may also use their fist if the green category is not occupied by a weapon.
The player can choose to customize their own character in the game, which may be a male or a female, and use an extensive character customization menu. At any time during gameplay, the player can change their player's looks by accessing the menu from the pause screen. The player's actual name is never stated, and they are similar referred to as "The Detective."
Another addition to the game is a harder "hardcore" difficulty mode. Not only does it remove the heads-up display, but it also makes it harder to hide from enemies when hiding in the shadows. If the player moves at all while in the shadows, their on-screen health bar will turn white, rather than blue, and they can be spotted by any nearby enemies that are facing in their direction.
The game is even more open-world than it's pair of predecessors and at the end of the game becomes entirely non-linear as the player unlocks more and more areas that are open to the player through Mr. Nasty's commands, who makes the player kill as many hunters in the area or do certain tasks. Familiar locations of Carcer City, such as the junkyard and Darkwoods Penitentiary, make a triumphant return after being replaced by Cottonmouth as seen in the events of the second one while at the same time, getting the expansions and tweaks to make things fresh.
