Here are some new screens and information about 2-Days to Vegas, to be released on the Xbox 360 and PS3 next year.
2 Days to Vegas has been floating just beneath the press radar and the devs have purposely been tight-lipped regarding the game. According to Loo, this was done to keep "creative control". They even refused to look for a publisher until they get the game completely finished. So inevitably, the storyline and content were kept under lock and key - which was apparently easy considering Steel Monkey only has a small population (58).
2 Days to Vegas is a third person shooter reportedly inspired by movies' impact on people. Think of how you feel after you leave the movie theater, though that depends entirely on the movie you watched.
An in-house game engine was used and would feature global lighting and HDR lighting. They also included a "garbage generator" to simulate the clutter on the city streets. Talk about attention to detail. Loo comments on the Blu-Ray as a distribution media, "Blu-Ray solves a lot of our problems."
2 Days to Vegas was at one time pitched as a GTA killer, however 9 years later the title is still not out, Lazygamer decided to do a check up on the title

We've scoured every inch of the 'Game Achives' (A small building in East Slough) for these titles that have been rather quiet for a while…Too quiet. Clean your rose-tinted glasses and practice your 'Ohh, I remember that one!' voice, because some of these are very good at staying unnoticed…"
Gamestar recently posted an interview with Timothy Dwoskin, CEO of Steel Monkeys. The website is in russian, so the google translation isn't very good. If you want to read the full interview, go to the second link.
Visit the first link however to check all the new screenshots. Some of the ones posted via the first link aren't even located in the Gamestar gallery.
Looks alright, I'm rather surprised. I presume these are PC screens as the very last shows "Press E to use object".
Kill it with Fire
I remember the hype this got off those CG screens
then we seen actual gameplay from VGE and it looked wack
Now that I look again, this will probably be
like that horror ATARI game,
it looks just like that.
This is the full article...the below one is merely one quotation.
was there any doubt blu-ray was needed.
Thats good, they're taking advantage of blu-Ray. I hope Rockstar is doing the same.
ps. have we always known 2 Days to Vegas was on the PS3? It was only announced as 360...I didn't know it was ps3 as well.

That is interesting. We will see.
