After 100 days in control, Zelnick and Co. reveal additional funding along with a few thoughts on the ESRB's Adults Only rating...
Having wrestled control of Take-Two Interactive back in March, Strauss Zelnick and his team at the tempestuous publisher have today unveiled their progress after one hundred days in charge.
Despite continuing the search for new buyers for both Jack of All Games and JoyTech, the company's new CEO, Ben Feder, confirmed that the board's restructuring plans are already well underway. The plans have included a number of staff cuts in both North America and Europe. The recent fallout surrounding Manhunt 2 has also pushed Take-Two to announce a new "product investment review committee", which will be headed by members of the board and will weigh up both internally and externally pitched game ideas. Despite its remit, Feder and Zelnick have been quick to point out that the new committee will not interfere with the creative processes of a project; instead, it will provide a level of "financial accountability".
The webcasted presentation also provided the Take-Two Chairman with a chance to air his thoughts on the recent 'banning' of Manhunt 2. Defending the controversial title, Zelnick re-asserted that "We don't see ourselves in the AO business, and if we find ourselves there, it would be because we have a title we consider art and entertainment, that we consider appropriately rated at AO, that we'd like to bring to market."
Hinting at one avenue available, the board did reveal that they may be looking at digitally distributing the game, adding that "we do think its terribly important to bring original producers' and creators' vision of Manhunt 2 to the public."
Finally, the publisher has revealed that it had secured a credit injection of $100 million from Wells Fargo Foothill over a five-year period, which will be used to "fund working capital, capital expenditures and for other general corporate purposes".

well they can just give it a 18+ rating and start enforcing the sale of games to minors just like ciggarets and alcohol its that easy .anyway how many little divs can afford 35-40 quid for a game when there released.next they will want to ban porn!!!

these are the alternate endings of manhunt 2 DONT READ IF YOU HAVE THE GAME and havent played the end. the first end is danny kills leo. danny automatically wakes up in the middle of a street somewhere and recieves a letter of his new identity and a address to go to live in and basically he has to start a new life and it is a cliffhanger sort of. the second ending is leo killing danny in a shootout sadly. he steps on danny and kills him after he makes him angry by saying oh i killed your wife and that. then like the physcho he is he screams i wooooooooooooooooooooooooooon and wakes up. a nurse wakes danny up and tells him hes been in a coma the past 3 weeks. leo is know 100% control of danny's body. he asks the nurse if he can have a minute then looks in the mirror and see leo face. but he is in danny's body and that is the end. cool endings both ways. thanking you for reading post comments if you wish.

I played this game last few days, it so nice, everything it's very nice, specially the dialogue. It's realy different from the other survival horror, I played. It's realistic, It'seems I feel the presence of the enemy, like I played I was the character in the story. Very good, excellent.
