The killer shoots him after he's dead from the fall. Watch the trailer on the first page.

 

Those are the bullet holes from where he was killed, when he falls out the window. icon_biggrin.gif

 

Edit: ninja. >_<

:good: Thanks. I'm sure I saw that video when the game was announced, but haven't seen that scene since, so I got confused.

 

Shooting a person that many times after he fell from a building seems a little wasteful (and alerts neighbors) :P

Hmm, game preview:

 

VG247 - Murdered: Soul Suspect – a game currently in need of intensive care. “Murdered: Soul Suspect currently fails to compare favourably to any of the titles it elicits mention of.” “The opening hours of Murdered: Soul Suspect suffer from a worryingly narrow scope.”

 

IGN - We weren't that impressed. Murdered: Soul Suspect – Death’s Not All It’s Cracked Up To Be Being able to walk through walls and posses the living should surely be more fun than this.The key things for us are to tell a really great story supported by an interesting investigation mechanic. We didn’t want to overly punish the player for not doing super well in an investigation.

 

Polygon - Murdered: Soul Suspect offers a ghost in the AAA machine.

 

 

 

You play as a dead cop, Ronan O'Connor, investigating your own murder. As in all whodunits, you mooch around crime scenes, click on stuff that looks interesting (a gun or a note, say) and these are added to your inventory.

 

Once you have sufficiently stripped a scene of its clues, you are obliged to tell the game which ones you consider to be most relevant. Choices made successfully, a picture emerges and you are allowed to proceed.

 

This is where lots of other supporting mechanics come into play. As a dead person you are able to inhabit the bodies of the living and influence their actions, through choice options (press X to read her mind) or dialog trees.

 

Some of the ghosts are downright unfriendly and will kill you. They are to be avoided through a Dishonored-style stealth system or killed via very rudimentary combat techniques. Stealth is the most enjoyable path, especially as it allows the player (and the pursuers) to have some fun ghosting through walls and chasing each other inside the humdrum lives of the oblivious living.

 

Anyone who played L.A. Noire will be familiar with this crime-scene investigation stuff. Matthew Brunner, chief creative officer at developer Airtight Games said he had played L.A. Noire and enjoyed it, but wanted to avoid the frustration many players felt, wandering endlessly around, seeking out some new clue.

 

"We made it much easier for the player to uncover the elements around them," he said. "For the most part you can find and uncover the clues relatively easily, it's more about figuring out what they mean and paying attention to their relevance."

Game to launch June 3 across Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, and PC.

 

 

 

Murdered: Soul Suspect, Square Enix's upcoming supernatural detective thriller, will launch across consoles and PC on June 3 in North America, the publisher announced today. A release in Europe and PAL territories will follow on June 6.

 

The game, developed by Dark Void and Quantum Conundrum studio Airtight Games, will be available on Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, and PC, but a Wii U version is not in development. Murdered: Soul Suspect runs in native 1080p for Xbox One and PS4.

 

The game is set in Salem, Massachusetts, the location of the Salem witch trials in 1692, which saw public executions of those convicted of witchcraft. The story begins with protagonist Ronan O'Connor's death at the hands of an unknown assailant. He must then interrogate the ghosts of Salem to learn more about his killer.

Looks like this is now going to be a thing with Square Enix releases - http://steamdb.info/sub/36114/

 

Hopefully other publishers don't start doing this sh*t.

I don't understand what you mean. Is it region restriction? Looking forward to this game. Since L A Noire, this will be the first game of it's kind.
