Wow, Warner Bros. finally acknowledged that This is Vegas still has a pulse. Speaking with G4tv.com, the publisher, which acquired the rights to the game during its acquisition of Midway, stated that the Sin City adventure had not been canceled and is still in production. Although there are no further details, Surreal Software has not been stripped of development duties.
We really haven't heard anything about This is Vegas since 2008, which is when it was originally supposed to release. We're following up with Warner Bros. now to see if the publisher would like to make a new release window -- we're guessing 2009 isn't in the cards.

This looks like it could be a Nathan Drake side-story.

I don't know what is more disappointing looking: the "This is Vegas" rendition of "Circus Circus," or when you're actually standing in front of the real location.
I wonder if the game accurately simulates standing around for an hour and cramming into The Deuce with 5000 other people.

This game first started as a decent looking GTA clone. Now it's probably gonna end up a shitty DRIV3R clone, which was a shitty GTA clone. That makes this game the offspring of GTA's shit. Well done, Midway.

I wonder if Warner Bros' movie studios has a popular franchise that often takes place in Vegas/casinos.
Come on, let's add some heist missions, some Clooney, and make this Ocean's Eleven: The Game.
