The Quiet Man is a brawler for PS4 and Windows. Brought to you by the localization producer of Rune Factory 3 and the developer of Rune, it launched with only a muffled audio track, the full audio only being released a week later as a new game+ option. It has been widely criticized for its strange portrayal of a deaf protagonist, and of people of color, as well as for a general lack of quality.

Unused Video#

Scene_34_CarParkour.bk2#

Scene_34_Laundry_Combat.bk2#

Scene_43_To_Sol_Clubhouse.bk2#

Watch on YouTubeUnused interstitial animation between scenes. Another ladder here.

53_EscapeAndWatch_Robert.bk2#

Watch on YouTubeA rough looking version of the cutscene before the Isaac fight.

Scene_98_WaitingRoom_ToRoof.bk2#

Watch on YouTubeOutro to the 'waiting room' fight.

Scene_107A_RobertCombat_Mid.bk2#

Watch on YouTubeAnimation tests(?) featuring Dane and Robert.

RobertSpeechFlashbacks.bk2#

Watch on YouTubeA montage with Robert's fight dialog played over top. The only file with dialog included pre-patch, and it's some of the last lines spoken in the game.

HoneyItsOkay.bk2#

Watch on YouTubeA clip of Lorraine's actor (who also played Lala) saying "Honey, it's okay." in front of a bluescreen. Used for the with-sound ending cutscene.

107_audio_version_test.avi and 107_audio_version_test_muffled.avi#

Watch on YouTubeTwo identical files with no audio tracks. An early version of the extended ending cutscene that would be used for the with-audio ending. Has some of the effects from the final version, differentiating it from Scene_107A_QM_Mask.bk2 - the eye glass cracking with the punch is included, but Dane's injury and the dramatic zoom on the eyepiece are not.
