After showing some unbelievable (literally unbelievable) screenshots, it's gone completely under the radar. The game seems interesting enough, but this 48 hours thing bothers me.

Does that mean they'll pull a 'Dead Rising' on us, where the 48 hours is speeded up and you have to complete the game with that timer running in the background, or is that 48 hours just a timeline without affecting the actual durance of the game?

I really can't stand games that you have to rush through because a timer's continuously ticking away, ala Dead Rising!

The pics are target renders. I remember first seeing them and thinking that it was impossible. But after seeing what developers are pulling off nowadays on next gen consoles. They may have hit the technology curve right on the button.

Hydrollex5979d ago

Steel Monkeys is making this game. If Rockstar was making this game it would be AWESOmE

Lex Luthor5979d ago

Translation:"I thought this game was exclusive to PS3 but now that its not, this game is going to flop."

UnblessedSoul5979d ago

I thought this was coming to ps3 why does it say pc only?

BrianC62345979d ago

I think you're confusing it with Sony's game called Eight Days. Is that the game you were thinking about? It was shown a lot for a while but never any actual gameplay. Some great gunfights and a gas tanker truck that fell over and slid into a gas station. This isn't that game though.

power of Green 5979d ago

Hmmm.. Thats strange its listed only for Windows. here's some info about the game may not be complete though. http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...

I call Vaporware on this 1. :( Hope I'm wrong though.

The same thing that happened to the game The Heist.

GavinMannion3999d ago

Yeah this is true.. but I think that was officially cancelled wasn't it?

kraideral3999d ago

Don't know for sure, also there are many "GTA killer" games that never saw the light.

Hopefully The Getaway will see the light of day again

2 Days 2 Vegas still alive - New Screens & Details

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.

Fishy Fingers5327d ago

Looks alright, I'm rather surprised. I presume these are PC screens as the very last shows "Press E to use object".

Jpinter5327d ago

Yeah. They are PC screens, however according to the interview, the "Steel Engine" allows them to develop the title across all three platforms (PS3, Xbox 360, and PC) seamlessly, similar to CryEngine 3.

The first had to build the engine and debug any kinks. Now I think they are just working on the game and we'll see a lot of fine tuning in the next year. I really hope they can get a publisher I would love to see how expansive and free-roaming all the cities are.

We already know that New York and Las Vegas are two complete cities players can move around in.

Jpinter5327d ago

Look at the difference in character models jacket though between November 08 and the new screenshots:

Image 1 = Nov 08
Image 2 = Sept 09

I did not murder him5327d ago

Looks alright? You've seen pics of a sandbox game that looks better?

Please provide links.

Dellis5327d ago

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

Dellis5327d ago

Now that I look again, this will probably be

like that horror ATARI game,

it looks just like that.

arakouftaian5327d ago

they are 2 days aways from las vegas LOL

foxtheory5327d ago

But seriously, if at least one part doesn't take place in Vegas, that'll be a little wierd...

Jpinter5327d ago

They game takes place over quite a few cities. The whole point is that you are traveling to Vegas cross country.
