True Crime Announced

 

Tonight on the Spike TV Video Game Awards a few never-before-seen games were unveiled. One of the first announcements was True Crime developed by United Front Games and published by Activision.

 

Right now we know that the game takes place at least partially in Shanghai where you play as an undercover officer trying to take down the triad. The trailer highlighted a lot of flashy night life and at one point the main character jumps from a motorcycle and smashes through a car window to jack it. He was also able to jump from his bike, sling it at a group of enemies and shoot it to take them all out in a fiery explosion.

 

Next up in the trailer there was a clip of hand-to-hand combat against a half-dozen enemies. We'll have more information on this title as soon as it is released.

True Crime to benefit from GTA stayaway this year

 

True Crime’s reboot is looking “especially strong,” Activision Blizzard CEO Mike Griffith said in the company’s full-year earnings call last night, and will be rewarded by a lack of competition in the genre later this year.

 

“This is a big open world action games that looks to be especially strong and should benefit as this year’s competitive window in the genre is wide open,” said the exec, obviously referencing Rockstar’s GTA.

 

He added: “The game blends intense Hollywood style driving with martial arts combat and shoot outs deliver an Asian cinema inspired action thriller.”

 

The title’s based in China. Canadian developer United Front – the same outfit behind ModNation Racers – is doing the work.

 

No date was put on it last night, other than the “back half of the year”.

First details, screens – True Crime goes to Hong Kong

 

When True Crime is released later this fall it’ll stick firmly to the real world – just action, kung-fu, cars and awesome. United Front showed us the game at GDC today: hit the links for general details, news on the games reputation system, details on the game’s “mature” nature, screens and video, and confirmation of a lack of DLC.

 

United Front Games is showing the title in its pre-Alpha stage in San Francisco this week, and it is definitely full of punching and racing around in vehicles, and looks the real Hong Kong – there are cleavers in abundance.

 

Don’t worry. There will be guns too – the developers still wanted you to be able to shoot something. That was very nice of them, ya know.

 

The team spent quite a bit of time in Hong Kong, and took over 27,000 reference shots to make the environment of the game as authentic as possible, which will be abundantly clear once you see it in action.

 

There are four different districts of the city. Each one has its own architecture, as well as day and night cycles with an obvious difference between the two. We were not shown daytime levels, but the night is full of bright neon and markets like the real deal.

 

The game is out for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 this fall.

Activision Axes True Crime

 

Activision has stopped production on True Crime: Hong Kong. The future of the franchise is unknown. On an earnings call today, an Activision representative said True Crime had been canceled because it "just wasn't going to be good enough."

Τα παλικάρια την παλεύουν;

[DeViAnT_Puppet]

Κανένας δεν ενδιαφέρεται για το True Crime Hong Kong tbh. Άσε που η Activision κάνει περικοπές και σε άλλα games, οπότε το TC ήταν nobrainer.

Κρίση...

True Crime is Sleeping Dogs: first info, shots, live movie

 

UFG’s True Crime: Hong Kong has been renamed Sleeping Dogs, and will release in the second half of this year for PS3, 360 and PC.

 

The game has been announced by Square Enix London Studios “in collaboration” with UFG.

 

Sleeping Dogs puts you in the shoes of of undercover cop Wei Shen, tasked with taking down the Triads from the inside. Typical Wednesday at work, to be honest.

 

The whole thing’s set on Hong Kong island, and sets itself in a story of loyalty and betrayal. Wei begins to question his own motives as he gets sucked deeper into the syndicate.

 

“Imaginative combat system”

 

“From the moment you pick up the controller and experience the blend of driving, close combat and shooting you know you’re playing something fresh and a bit special,” said Lee Singleton, Square’s London Studios GM.

 

“Sleeping Dogs has one of the best melee combat systems out there – it’s super brutal with devastating takedown moves, and when added to UFG’s proven heritage in driving games, a first class story and the vibrant backdrop of the Hong Kong underworld we get a fiery recipe with fun written all over it.”

 

“Working on Sleeping Dogs has been such a huge passion for the team at United Front Games and we’re really pleased to be working with Square Enix London Studios,” said United Front’s Stephen Van Der Mescht.

 

“The extensive experience both our studios have in creating compelling openworld gameplay and rich and rewarding combat makes for a perfect partnership. Working together we can make sure that Sleeping Dogs is the most intense and immersive experience it can be.”

 

According to Square, “every street corner, market stall, harbour dock or city skyscraper can become an opportunity for intense shoot-outs, adrenaline-fuelled street races and intense, brutal martial arts combat.”

 

Much is being made of the “intuitive and imaginative combat system, which includes an “extensive set” of martial arts moves and the ability to singlehandedly taking on numerous opponents. Environmental takedowns include circular saws, phone booths, incinerators and fridge doors.
