PSU Update:
"We have added that 2 Days 2 Vegas will appear on the Xbox 360. We have talked with Steel Monkey and it's confirmed that the title will release on both PS3 and Xbox 360 as well as PC. More details on that on Monday."
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.
Even though PSU never said it was a PS3 exclusive, it seemed that everyone took it that way. Just so there is no miscommunication, I have updated the article and talked with the developers to confirm things for us. Turns out that 2 Days 2 Vegas will appear on the PS3, Xbox 360, and PC.
Sorry if you were misled. Last time we talked with Steel Monkey, they hadn't decided on platforms other than PC, and Edwin told us that the PS3 was the best prospect. Anyways, I guess now everyone will be able to enjoy the game except Wii owners.
More details on Monday.
It would be nice to see a title that could use the PS3's power completely, then you get an unquestionable level of quality like Uncharted.
Now this entire game PC/PS3 will be crippled to run on the 360. I'm sorry but thats just the way it is.
Heres to The Getaway. This one is done with. After all of those comments about Bluray and not being able to do it on DVD.. they compromise everything to truncate and compress data to hell to run on the 360. YEah it sells well, but its a bottleneck for development. I'm in it for the greater games, as I dont get a dime from Sony or MS. The problem with all 360 PC games is that you can run them fine on a rather old pc. Oh well.
Another half-assed game that could've been bigger as a PS3 exclusive. The same goes for GTAIV. Microsoft is holding everything back with their f*cking DVD9 console bullsh*t. Lets just hope it doesn't happen to L.A. Noire, I'm really sick of seeing downgraded games all because of 360.
My hype for 2 Days 2 Vegas = Gone.
Thanks Microsoft!
Erm, PSU didn't said it was PS3 exclusive, they said it's coming to PS3 and PC (which is truth.) and didn't mention 360.
People are also confusing this because the game has "DAYS" in the name like Eight Days, which is PS3 exclusive.
Regarding the DVD yada yada.. the fact is that in most of those games most of the textures and even objects are or procedurally generated or simply repeated .. you don't make a whole city with unique textures because it's both stupid and expensive... you bring uniqueness with dynamic generation that is smart and cheap.
The more advanced the game is, the smaller it gets.. the more "artistic" it is .. the larger it gets.
From the article earlier it stated Blu-Ray was the way to go. But if this game gets all compressed to hell and back, I'm going to be highly disappointed. If they are able to pull off the visuals from the released screen shots on multiple disks, maybe all is not lost. This game is visually superior to GTA4, I just hope the storyline will complete it and make it the total gaming experience the game has the potential to be.
