I love Jon St John but, not having Rick Hunter as the Postal Dude seems like an odd choice to me, since IIRC he wasn't in 3 because he simply wasn't available.

Made me think of Crusader No Remorse. We need that third game already.

Sure, but only if they use a fork of the Ultima 8 engine again. Also the microwave gun needs to return. Actually, make that all the guns.

Apparently he's too busy being a full time radio announcer.
The game is VERY early access. I went into the police station and it was just an empty shell. Much of the game menus are just place holder text. (It should be noted that this is proper early access, where they're using Steam royalties to fund the development.)
The gameplay sandbox where Postal 2 shined you can already see starting to take form. Probably my favourite weapon that I've found so far is a cage of pigeons which you can use to swarm people.
AFAIK there are three jobs for you to do in this current alpha build. One of them is a sewer level where you're working as a sanitation worker. (There's a reference to the "Sewer Count" gag from Youtuber Civvie11, who has reviewed the rest of Postal games. When you're doing self-aware winking at the audience by going "teehee, we've got a sewer level" still doesn't change the fact that it's a sewer level.) Capturing cats and dogs for a dude is another job. Probably the best of the three is where you're a prison guard and have to deal with escaped prisoners. They give you a stun baton which can be fun to use.
The written humour (eg character dialogue) is very awful. Probably worse than Borderlands and Duke Nukem Forever. None of this is nothing new if you've played Postal 2.

YES!
