Oh craps! This is Vegas delayed until 2009

by Christopher Grant { Jul 2nd 2008 at 5:29PM }

Not saying we were taking bets on this but, surprising exactly no one, Midway's "lifestyle action experience" This is Vegas has been delayed until 2009 for all three platforms in development. Midway tells GameSpot that developer Surreal Software – the team behind The Suffering games – is being "given the development time needed in order to make This is Vegas a triple-A videogame and a must-have for all PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC owners." The game will be playable at E3 in a couple weeks so we'll be sure to let you know how close it is to a "must-have" then.

This Isn't Vegas (yet)

Press X to grope gently

Gently...?

GreyFox @ Jul 2nd 2008 7:06PM

Ever so gently.

Also why is this game even being made? Ever video I see of actually gameplay is somehow worse then what I imagine.

midway and triple A title does not go into the same sentence.

samfish @ Jul 2nd 2008 5:39PM

Will there be hookers, water droughts and the ability to drive to Area 51?

Alexander @ Jul 2nd 2008 5:42PM

This Is Disappointing.

deaftly @ Jul 2nd 2008 5:51PM

I'd take bets on that but

Jakka @ Jul 2nd 2008 5:59PM

What is this game!?

juju187 @ Jul 2nd 2008 6:01PM

this is vegas!!!

Fullmetal Salchemist @ Jul 2nd 2008 6:21PM

Noes! I was looking forward to playing this mediocre snoozefest this year! Now I have to wait?!

tifosiotaku @ Jul 2nd 2008 6:22PM

I'll buy digital download versions of San Francisco Rush 2049 and/or The Grid. Aside from that, nothing really gets me excited about Midway. Most of the Midway guys I really cared about are working at either Global VR, Raw Thrills, or some other startup arcade outfit...

juju187 @ Jul 2nd 2008 6:25PM

rush series was only good at the arcade.

JS Beckerist @ Jul 2nd 2008 6:49PM

I miss NFL Blitz / NHL Hitz...

Howard-the-Duck @ Jul 2nd 2008 7:18PM

This is blasphemy! This is madness!!

MuToiD_MaN @ Jul 2nd 2008 8:38PM

Madness?! ... >:)

Fullmetal Salchemist @ Jul 2nd 2008 10:50PM

Oh, how original. Say, got any "Cake is a lie" references you want to parrot incessantly?

brother.rope @ Jul 2nd 2008 8:53PM

Was anybody actually looking forward to this peice of crap?

born2kill @ Jul 2nd 2008 9:04PM

No probelemo. Release it when its ready.

Fullmetal Salchemist @ Jul 2nd 2008 10:51PM

Or, better yet, don't. At all. Ever.

Bluebreaker @ Jul 3rd 2008 4:34AM

I don't see why everyone is so sour over this title yet play things like GTA all the time. Having said that somebody said that "War, violence, fighting=great time as a video game. General partying and gambling=better in real life." Now, I'll believe that!
