WP: Steel Monkeys' 2 Days to Vegas is a story-driven, third-person action-adventure game. The thrill-a-minute story is crammed full of car chases, shootouts and unexpected twists, to keep you on the edge of your seat throughout the game.
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
Don't know for sure, also there are many "GTA killer" games that never saw the light.

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".
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.
Look at the difference in character models jacket though between November 08 and the new screenshots:
Image 1 = Nov 08
Image 2 = Sept 09
Looks alright? You've seen pics of a sandbox game that looks better?
Please provide links.
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.
The detail in the clothes, faces, backround, and even those stupidly cheesy "Euro Lights" on the Honda Civic lol truly deserve the honor of being labeled as Next Gen..
