Video: Strangelehold PS3 dev walkthrough

Legendary action director John Woo is teaming up again with international star Chow Yun-Fat, but this time, it’s not for the big screen. They’re targeting the Sony PlayStation 3, Microsoft Xbox 360 and the PC for a third-person action game we currently know as Stranglehold.

In this video, the developers walk us through on the PlayStation 3 version of the game which employs a lot of Asian-inspired action film elements such as jumping off walls and diving all over the place with Chow Yun-Fat. The game also has this neat feature where the player can do slow-motion combat sequences a la Max Payne to make him feel like a total bad-ass.

The story takes you globetrotting from Hong Kong to Chicago to bring down criminal syndicates. To make the experience complete, Woo and company are even throwing in the film “Hardboiled” which is the inspiration for Stranglehold.
