KnackChap Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 Developer: United front Games (makers of modnation racers) Publisher: Activision. Genre: sandbox, crime thriller Platforms : PS360 Release: 2010 And there it is, people: The second "mystery" teaser for this year's Spike VGA award show, shown first here on Joystiq. (The first, you'll recall, was 2K Games' franchise reboot of Spec Ops). Since we don't have any insider info on the developer or the publisher behind the game, we'll simply share what we know: This is a new, unannounced game that will be revealed for the first time at the VGAs; the trailer's narration is delivered by a "well-known actor" (Tom Wilkinson?); and the reveal at the VGAs will have actual gameplay. Share your best educated guesses in the comments below and we'll bubble the best to the top. We'll start you out: That's a Hong Kong police badge, so we're saying True Crime 3: Hong Kong. [update: Internet sleuth superannuation posits that this mystery title is none other than Black Lotus, the as-of-yet-unnamed Activision-published, United Front-developed action title announced earlier this year. Just about the only thing we know about the project on the record is that it's "a new action-based game set in Hong Kong" by the studio working on ModNation Racers.

Keyofx Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 WTF?!?! Edit: Looks like a rip-off amalgam of the Glass+Reggio GTA4 reveal trailer and Tequila thowing away his badge from Stranglehold :/ But I'm a sucker for the setting so colour me pink VERY interested.

_Batman_ Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 True Crime Who saw this one coming? True Crime is coming to this console generation. After Streets of LA and New York City filled your PlayStation 2s and Xboxs with open-world mediocrity, the Grand Theft Auto-with-cops franchise is heading to Hong Kong. From what little information is hinted at, it seems you’ll be playing as an undercover cop who’s infiltrating the Triad. A heavy emphasis on martial arts combat is apparent, as is ripping around on vehicles. Elements cribbed from Pursuit Force and Just Cause have creeped into the probably-open-ended urban action game, as you’ll seemingly be able to hop from one vehicle to another and take it for yourself. The twist in all of this? United Front Games is handling the development — yes, the ModNation Racers team. It seems that the Vancouver studio has more up its sleeve than cute kart racing.

Aftrunner Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 Never played any of the previous 2 games. Were they any good? Only thing I remember is the phrase "GTA clone" thrown around with some disdain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aftrunner Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 Hmm just checked and the last two games are rated at 60 and 70 at Metacritic. There are better games that could have used a sequel more than this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shekdown Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 Ive played True Crime : Streets of LA and enjoyed in thoroughly. Its a superb experience and loads of fun. A lot of decisions that you have to make and the story changes depending on that. Its also an open world, but no as open as GTA, mind, but its still a fun and very very enjoyable experience. If this game lives up to that, Id probably get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyofx Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 Hmm just checked and the last two games are rated at 60 and 70 at Metacritic. There are better games that could have used a sequel more than this. The games aren't direct sequels. They're just open world games under the True Crime banner. The concept itself is sound. And those Metacritic scores are a bit misleading. Kane & Lynch has a sub-65 score there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemo Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 meh.. i wud pass unless its really, really good. i am yet to complete gta 4 (will get in in the coming year), then there is mafia 2, RdR and maybe yakuza. lets see if its anything different. the ps2 games were very avg compared to gta Vc and SA. only thing enjoyable were the pot shots that both games took at each other. example- In GTA SA- and i am not able to find any True crime images but there were 2 in streets of LA, one with a bill board of JOCK STRAPS with a rockstar like logo and other where u have to kill a whiney Italian mobster wannabe that looks and acts very much like Tommy versetti from GTA VC.

Nemo Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 okey, i take me words back, the trailer looks pretty dandy.. and i like the setting. ITs china !! i thought it would be another US location. and acti are a bigger company now post MW, we could hope higher production values. I am still skeptical but this will surely be on the radar ! hope it turns out good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
