New Hatred trailer shows off more disturbing, brutal ways to murder innocent civilians

As we wrote earlier, Hatred, the controversial isometric twin-stick shooter from Destructive Creations, became available for pre-order today. To celebrate that milestone, the developer released a new trailer equally as disturbing — if not more — than the initial announcement one.

The new trailer is designed to show off the "destructions systems" in Hatred. "As The Antagonist, you'll be able to oblitterate everything on your way, and cause a gruesome damage. You'll be an incarnation of apocalypse, hate and destruction!" the developer proudly boasts.

Hatred is easily the most controversial game of 2015. It's premise, which is as simple as you taking on the role of a nameless sociopath who decides to go on a massive killing spree, was enough to warrant an Adults Only rating from the ESRB. And after watching this latest trailer, you'll see why.

Sure, other games have killing and murder, but the nonsensical violence and brutal methods in which you'll kill innocent civilians in Hatred is what has, as Destructive Creations puts it, "divided [the] gaming industry and started a loud discussion among gaming and mainstream journalists about the limits of creative freedom."

As I've said in the past, I'm not a fan of this type of game. It just doesn't appeal to me, but I understand it has a right to exist. I recently had a chance to chat with Destructive Creations about Hatred, violent video games, and any moral responsibility they may have for creating such a violent game.
