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."
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.
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.
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!"
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?
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.
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 ;-)
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.
This is what happens when you make your product decisions based on chasing someone else (GTA) instead of leading. This looks so lame it is hard to express.
Anyone want to bet on whether or not they actually make dancing a key part of the game?
