CVG Preview: True Crime: Hong Kong - 2011's most polished open-world?

CVG: "Barring a surprise from Rockstar this summer, True Crime: Hong Kong is undoubtedly the biggest and most polished open-world action game on the horizon - and we know, we've seen it.

Sit down with developer United Front Games and the team is keen to stress it's providing a lot of things above and beyond what the competition has to offer."

LA Noire and arkham City has a few words for you

Kon4830d ago

L.A Noire isn't open world.

ABizzel14830d ago

I hope they really turn the series around. I don't really remember anything special about the games. They were fun, but it was always a second class GTA. The different setting might give it some diversity.

For some reason this game just makes me think of Stranglehold meets Yakuza meets GTA. To be honest that sounds like an epic game.

Ahasverus4830d ago

yes it is. It's not SandBox, but it is open world

Yi-Long4830d ago

... I've been to Hong Kong many times, I LOVE the city, been all over the place, love HK cinema, and I love sandbox-games...

... but the pictures and videos don't look or feel like Hong Kong at all. Just take for example that picture of that road. It looks NOTHING like a Hong Kong road.

I hope I'm wrong about this game and it will be a great tribute to the city, but so far, there's been nothing that implies that they took HK serious.

I guess throwing some neon-boards and chinese looking peds around a made-up 'asian' map, constitutes for building a realistic version of Hong Kong.

CVG Reviewer, 6/10.... polished game graphics not as good as LA Noire but good, only 5 mission types, weak story

THIS IS HOW IT STARTS

Lirky4830d ago

its bigger than panau from just cause 2 probably.

Kakihara4830d ago

This game is not going to be very good.

ps. Yes, before you ask. I am in fact from the future.

pr0digyZA4830d ago

It looks very promising from what I read.

*salutes* Rest in peace True Crime, loved the first two games when I was a bit younger...

chrish19903405d ago

*wipes away a single manly tear*

But yeah, such a shame. I still play True Crime: Streets of LA from time to time on the old gamecube. It hasn't aged extremely well but damn it's good fun.

Snookies123405d ago (Edited 3405d ago )

Loved that game. Still have my Gamecube copy as well. I put so many hours into that one... XD

I thought we knew True Crime was dead and Sleeping Dogs had risen from its ashes.

chrish19903405d ago

Hmm, sort of. Activision cancelled TC 3 but still owned the rights for it, so there was always a chance, albeit slim, that a TC 3 would come. Alas, it seems we are never to see it.

Rimeskeem3405d ago

I'm starting to hate activision

RedDevils3405d ago

What so you just starting to hate them? Isn't that a bit late

illtornworld3405d ago

:( maybe itll be reborn as Sleeping Dogs 2? True Crime was such a great game! i enjoyed it more than GTA wellll idk i likeTrue Crime and Sn Andreas the same. fuck gta iv >_<

isarai3405d ago

Not really, Triad Wars is more a spinoff as it's basically just Sleeping Dogs with a couple tweaks and turned into a f2p game.

Games, governments, and guarantees: Where does public funding fit in the industry?

38 Studios went bankrupt and Rockstar moved from Vancouver to Toronto. Where does the government budget sit in our industry, and how can we improve its use?

JackB844286d ago

Share sources and I will approve!

SybaRat4286d ago

The answer is give me all the government money. All of it!
