Amidst the brilliant glare of the Hong Kong cityscape, undercover detective Wei Shan joins a group of Triad mobsters to assault a rival gang, revealing a first look at Activision's upcoming True Crime. This scene would feel at home amongst the work of such film directors as John Woo, Sammo Hung, and Martin Scorsese, and rightfully so. Executive produce Stephen Van Der Mescht drew inspiration from 2002 Hong Kong film Infernal Affairs, itself inspiration for the Oscar award winning film The Departed. The reason is clear. True Crime is more than a sequel to 2005's True Crime: New York. It is a complete re-imagining of the franchise.
One of the many video games that have faded into obscurity is True Crime: New York City, a title with a lot of heart but not enough support.
I had this game, was fun for the time. Trying to chase down Puffy and JLo in the limo fleeing the club shooting. I'm not really sure if you caught them or it was just a call on the police radio.

I've loved this game since I got it Christmas 2005. Despite the glitches, I enjoyed it a lot
10 Hollywood Actors You (Probably) Didn’t Know Voiced Video Game Characters.
Plenty of them that does VO for video games and animated films like batman movies.
Huh, didn't know Steve Carrell did video games. That feels just so weird. Already knew Magneto was in Fable 3, but it took me a while to place him.
CVG - Since GTA first hit PS2, there's been a glut of copycat games that have tried - and failed - to capture the thrills of Rockstar's epic. Crime Life, Narc and 25 To Life should never have seen the light of day due to their criminal gameplay, but True Crime: Streets Of LA managed to carve out a niche of its own.
I've never played a True Crime game before so this new one will definitely be a breath of fresh air. I can't wait to parkour it up, and grind some faces off http://www.youtube.com/watc...
Hong Kong..... the new one......it was just in the news that square enix is gonna publish it....it might come out next year. That new one.
Yeah this one will be great. I only played new york (completely missed LA) but I loved it.
lol is this a joke of a article? sure had some nice fighting mechanics , shooting mechanics , and driving mechanics but other then that the whole game was a repititve pile of crap. Multiple stupid endings random street crimes are alls what is left after 5 hours of running and gunning and chasing. I remember this game AND WAS NO WHERE NEAR GTA at its time.
True Grime : Street Cleaners
GTA a legendary francise and pretty much untouchable with all its copycats that come out
You're right, True Crime wasn't without it's faults but in some areas it was truly innovative, more so than GTA was at the time in fact.
While GTA might be legendary, it's latest outing has met with a hugely mixed fan reception, some whom think the game could get mind numbingly booring and some who thought the new direction added a more real human element...so untouchable it is not my good chum.
Ohh and True Crime had Christopher Walken which at the time put a grin on my face :)

" but in some areas it was truly innovative, more so than GTA was at the time in fact."
Well seeing as how GTA started the whole sandbox, go where you want, do whatever you want, thing, I don't agree with you. Rockstar "invented" the whole consept, so you saying that True Crime was more innovative at the time, in any area, is wrong. GTA started this shit, True Crime tryied to take a bite out of the pie, and didn't come anywere close to being half as good as GTA3, much less Vice City or San Andreas. We're all intitled to our opinions, but True Crime didn't invent or innovate shit, and since we’re giving opinions True Crime strait up sucked. I fell for that shit when it came out, and it wasn’t even a poor clone to me, they should have keep it in development for a lot longer than they did. They were just trying to cash in on Rockstar’s success, and failed.
LOL, True Crime more innovative at the time. My ass it was.
I thought GTA III was more enoyable but I definetly thought True Crime had a leg up in some areas, I thought it was more silly fun...sorta like the Saints Row of its time.
I actually liked this game alot, La and Nyc were both very good games but not better than Gta in my opinion. But i loved being able to arrest people :-) and the maps were bigger than anything in GTA, Real street names and almost perfect sized map of their counterpart.
True Crime: Why it was almost better than GTA -
HAHAHAHAHAHA. I stopped reading after the title.
It looks to be a lot better than the previous ones, I just hope it has a good amount of variety and does it's combat right, if they say it's like Arkham Asylums's I hope it's done well.
I still remember the rooftop fight from the first True Crime.. That was so hard I never finished it..
Can't wait for this!
looks interesting
The True Crime in my opinion is a poor wanna be of GTA, but does a terrible job with the open world aspect.
