A lack of presence of the big familiar names in the open city shooters (such as GTA and Saints Row) will benefit the new True Crime's launch towards the end of the year. Whilst this isn't the sole release this year based loosely around that sort of genre - Red Dead Redemption and Just Cause 2 for a start - it will help the company (according to the CEO of Activision/Blizzard) as he pointed out in a speech yesterday.
“This is a big open world action games that looks to be especially strong and should benefit as this year’s competitive window in the genre is wide open,”
“The game blends intense Hollywood style driving with martial arts combat and shoot outs deliver an Asian cinema inspired action thriller.”
Thankfully, the team behind the original game (Streets of LA) have been locked in a cupboard whilst the new boys (United Front) have been tinkering with it. We'll see if it manages to erase the memory of the dire first games or whether it cements the game as a failure, nearer launch.
