This is a trailer for This is Vegas

by Ludwig Kietzmann { Feb 11th 2008 at 6:25PM }

If you've been curious as to what sort of gameplay "an open world, lifestyle action experience" such as This is Vegas would entail, you'd best head past the break and view the game's debut trailer. Judging by the brief clip, we're dealing with a role-playing game -- one where you've thrown all your ability points into douchebaggery, hooliganism and cartoonish uppercutting. Also, you'll be playing as Attack of the Show's Kevin Pereira.

Not that you need any more incentive to visit virtual Vegas, but we think one Gametrailers user summed it up better than anybody in Midway's marketing department ever could: "its the same company that maded the suffering its surreal i want this game specialy because there is hot girls."

Obligatory "This is madness!"

Lone Starr @ Feb 11th 2008 7:02PM

obligatory kick down the "that was so last year" pit

Vegnagun bwf @ Feb 11th 2008 6:31PM

The only reason I'd consider buying this is if I can truly play as Kevin Pereira. He gets to inappropriately touch Olivia Munn every once an a while.

upz @ Feb 11th 2008 11:03PM

I'm pretty sure that's supposed to be a take of Danny McCoy from the TV show Las Vegas.

Isaac @ Feb 11th 2008 6:34PM

I've been to vegas and let me tell you this game is very far away from what its really like. For one thing you can drive down the strip at more than one mile an hour let alone cruse down it. It is so insainly backed up that you walk everywhere. So yeah, this game is gonna suck.

FidliousWong @ Feb 11th 2008 7:03PM

You're arguing reality in a Midway game....

My good fellow, must I ask if you were, perhaps, a crack child? Perhaps rather than being dropped on your head, your father held you high, but forgot about the ceiling fan, for half an hour, while giggling immensely.

Zootittles @ Feb 12th 2008 1:06PM

Actually, the truth is Vegas is far more bland, slicked over, and stupid than any movie, television show, or video game would ever have you believe.

GrossGreg @ Feb 11th 2008 6:36PM

I'm not too big a fan of G4's programming in general (one can only take so much Ninja Warrior), but Kevin's funny as $hit.

GrossGreg @ Feb 11th 2008 6:40PM

...btw, this game is still gonna suck.

RobLink @ Feb 11th 2008 6:36PM

This looks like trash. That is all.

Tiptup300 @ Feb 11th 2008 11:55PM

Hey, I personally think this will be the years GOTY. Right up there with lucky hits, Lair, and the various dragon ball z games.

GreyFox @ Feb 12th 2008 3:48AM

Yeah this really does look like shit. I wouldn't be surprised if some marketing guy from Vegas pitched this like:

"Hey lets make a GTA style game but in Vegas!"
"Didn't they do that already in San Andreas?"
"Who cares we can make lots of money"
"Yeah money"
"Let's eat babies!"

David Cook @ Feb 11th 2008 6:37PM

"you'll be playing as Attack of the Show's Kevin Pereira."

I'm not touching this.

stik_man @ Feb 11th 2008 6:40PM

So this game basically gets you drunk... buys you a transvestite hooker, drains all your money at a blackjack table, and then leaves you with a bad hangover and dried coke boogers?

thanks but i'll pass.

HighFiveJesus @ Feb 11th 2008 6:49PM

I thought i was playing as Nathan Drake for a second. Like, he went to vegas for a little r and r and to lose all that treasure money.

FidliousWong @ Feb 11th 2008 7:28PM

he didn't get treasure monies...

StevenRafael @ Feb 11th 2008 7:49PM

Yeah he did. The old man brought it on the boat he stole.

HighFiveJesus @ Feb 11th 2008 8:23PM

I not gone dun n played the game k!?

Sinistrad @ Feb 11th 2008 7:36PM

Funny. It's not even the real Vegas, as the Luxor is now a Mayan Pyramid, and the Excalibur is called "Avalon."

This ISN'T Vegas.

dvnt @ Feb 11th 2008 7:38PM

Licensing is $$$. I can imagine real Vegas casinos would want a lot dough to put them in the game. Then you'd have the headache of what you can and can't do in them.

A "fake" Vegas is definitely the way to go with this.

Sinistrad @ Feb 11th 2008 7:41PM

Good point, but the game title kind of sets them up for failure in that category. :)

MasterInsan0 @ Mar 7th 2008 4:02AM

Perhaps 'This Is Not Vegas, But Kinda Like It' would have been more appropriate?

TheOverlord#2 @ Feb 11th 2008 7:43PM

I know its not as affordable...but instead of pretending you are at Vegas...just go to Vegas!

@grossgreg

Same here, I only watch AOTS, X-Play, and the occasional Game Makers though...

AlexxelA @ Feb 11th 2008 7:46PM

Do I look good in this?

OMGOMG @ Feb 11th 2008 8:05PM

Call me when there are hookers in the game.

/lonely

Grimmus @ Feb 11th 2008 9:00PM

Just ignore Fidli, he has to deal with his misplaced inadequacies by anonymously and poorly trolling others.

XGM @ Feb 11th 2008 9:53PM

This is what Rainbow 6 Vegas should have also had

Deck @ Feb 11th 2008 9:57PM

This is pathetic. But what do you expect from midway?

Jaylati @ Feb 11th 2008 10:00PM

IT'S A TRAP!

embassy @ Feb 11th 2008 10:26PM

GT has some of the most brain dead comments ive ever read next to youtube.

great content. horrible community.

Sesur @ Feb 11th 2008 10:41PM

As a citizen of Las Vegas, this video offends me.

Spartacus @ Feb 12th 2008 2:04AM

Haha, I'm with you there, residents usually avoid The Strip like the plague. I spend more time out at Red Rock Canyon, Mt. Charleston and Valley of Fire than The Strip and all of them are far better if you ask me...

Although the rides on the Stratosphere are worth a go or two ;-)

Void Munashii @ Feb 11th 2008 11:07PM

As a gamer who considers himself reasonably intelligent, this video offends me.

Bran @ Feb 11th 2008 11:16PM

I'm offended by your comment.

Jerk Face @ Feb 11th 2008 11:41PM

Yep. I just puked my pants.

Smacksmackums @ Feb 11th 2008 11:47PM

Looks much more like Josh Duhamel than Kevin Pereira. Get your "celebrities" right. Jeez. I can understand not watching the TV show Las Vegas, but you must have seen Transformers. The character in the game is a dead ringer for the dude who bangs Fergie. Check it fool.
