This is Vegas is the upcoming action game
from Midway that drops you into a stylized
version of Las Vegas and lets you live a
virtual life. The game is being developed by
Surreal Software, of The Suffering fame, and
takes an open-world approach. While this may
sound like a setup that's been done to death
(albeit not set exclusively in Vegas),
Surreal's going in a unique, ballsy direction
with the game. Rather than try to outdo the
cinematic take of the gold standard for the
genre, Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto games,
This is Vegas is taking a humorous,
tongue-in-cheek approach. Surreal has tapped
writer Jay Pinkerton, a former Cracked
magazine editor, to help craft the game's
story. Surreal representatives say the result
falls somewhere between Ocean's Eleven and a
Will Ferrell movie. As far as gameplay goes,
we got a general overview and the chance to
try out three short sequences from the game
that gave us an idea of where it's headed.
