The trailer takes not showing in-game footage to a new level, but I'm glad to hear this one is going to see the light of day finally.

Looks like a pretty good movie.

Looks like someone's bad college short.

Did anybody play True Crime? I don't know anybody that did. That and Dead To Rights.

When I was in college my friend had bought it and we switched off playing until we finished it. I remember it actually being a really solid open world game, and at the time the shooting/gunplay sections were pretty kick ass. At least in comparison to GTA. Though one of the bosses, this fucking mystical china town dragon (that had no business being in the game), was annoying to the point of controller breakage. I'll definitely keep an open mind for this one, though my hopes are literally at zero for it being any good.

Early buzz for this was actually really good, then Activision took a bunch of projects to the cutting board. I believe it's a different dev than the first 2 True Crimes.

I bought DTR day one because it was a Namco game and I have unwavering faith in them (also, having your dog maul everything is awesome).

I never played either True Crime game though.

I never played DTR II but I played the PS2 version of the original (it was modified a bit from the Xbox version) and my buddy has the newest one on Xbox 360 and said it was fun for what it was. I never played True Crime.

Is luxoflux still around? I know a lot of GameCube owners that played true crime. Closest thing they could get to gta.
