Remember the cardinal rule, Kotaku?

What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.

That includes color.

Absent Blue

Stunning! Though, I'll stick to katamari for my color.

dArk_stAr

Distinct absence of brown, they say.

Correct me if im wrong; but isn't that a brown girl, with brown hair, up front!

HMMMM?

Haha, so... whats this game about?

'Five sheets of high powered blotter acid'
Shit, that is a fuckton of acid. Never knew it when i saw the film; but DAMN! That is a FUCK-TON...

And Hunter S. Thompson commited suicide...

SadSadSamus

@HaydenTenno:
Sad isn't it. Mudway's got Surreal Soft working on this underwhelmming title. Forcing them to use the overrated UE3, when they could be working on Suffering 3.

beem

@Gypse-scum: *2nd

Gypse-scum

@MadSystem: add along it's better then the 2md one..

Gypse-scum

"Never an honest word, But that was when I ruled the world"

They got the setting right. Looks promising.

PsycheE

That guy looks like an extra who's about to die in an average episode of CSI: Las Vegas.

TheSmile

After living in Vegas for just shy of a decade, I can honestly say: Needs more Elvis.

Other than that, looks about right.

@DaiMacculate: We can't stop here! This is bat country!

sarcasmOD

Well whatever or however bad this game is or how bad it bombs i give em an E for effort!!

theblade

see Jet Set Radio for vivid colors
see This is Vegas for a game that looks plain stupid. it looks like Maxim Magazine/Spike TV the video game.

pandafresh

@Cwn:
Hell yeah, i'm already writing a petition:

"Dear Midway, stop making crap and give me a new
The Suffering"
Ps:Don't use bright colours, just black, brown and RED"

MadSystem

its just that the basic premise of the game is fucked

some highly enjoyable things just don't translate well to videogames.

such as sex, drugs and gambling.

they are more fun IRL. whereas war is more fun in games than IRL.

so i'm guessing it will play like crap.

Pete193

My guess is that this game will be pretty prettttty bad. But big up's for the color pallette that consists of more than 3 colors...seriously.

jasoncourt

Don't mock Kameo Mr. McWhertor! I'm actually credited for QA on it. LOL =D

DigitalHero

Seriously, this looks awful! Are the developers of BMX XXX making a new game or something, because this looks like it was aborted out of that developer. Add more brown, because this looks like doo doo.

HaydenTenno

@wild homes is weathering cephalopod trouble!: exactly

this game is going to bomb, heavily.

string_theory

it's not vegas till i see some hustlers

Beximus

@Trowble (XBL/PSN):

Hell yeah, that shit is HOT! Where's the guy that tries to sell me some crack, and then I say I don't smoke crack he offers weed instead? It looks like the hookers are missing too, as well as the people who have that look in the eyes as if they've lost everything.

dead_red_eyes

". . . two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, and a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers . . . "

Oh, was that not what this game was about?

DaiMacculate

This game is looking good.
Now we will just have to see about the gameplay.

yashichi8bit

Oi! Uncalled for!
Am I the only one that liked Kameo?

Yofu

Last screen shot looks like he's making some kind of a deal with Isaac Hayes. I can dig it!

Mikolai

Great, but what the hell is this game about.

Vegas?

I'm going to need more than that.

Snake726

hmmm

im guessing reviewers will go to town on this (pun) with their punny puns

"this is crap"?

hope it will be good but just seem to be a mashup of ideas from other games

Pete193

I admit when I first heard about the premise of an open world Las Vegas game, I thought it had potential. But what little I've seen of it, just gives me the douche chills. Nice use of color though.

Lovestationzero

@Cwn: Yeah! REAL Vegas should have ugly, heroin addict whores and dirty roach infested motels! At least...that's what I saw when I was there.

sarcasmOD

The Sims: Kevin Federline.

FINALLY.

wild homes is weathering cephalopod trouble!

looks pretty sweet

PITwelve

You know what, if any game should be lit up like that, it should be one set in Vegas. I think that a game is always more visually impressive to me if it has a wide array of colours, and is used well. I think of seeing Lumines for the first time, and how it still looks great on a PSP or on my TV (XBL version). It's harder to hide imperfections with that kind of a spotlight, but if you go the GTA route and just filter everything to death, you can really bring your environments to life.

Game notwithstanding, I'm glad to see this kind of art direction in any game.

nick.soapdish

The girl that's about to hurl on the sideline in the first picture will most likely have an end result that has to deal with a shade of brown...

Trowble (XBL/PSN)

Quick, someone start a petition.

Cwn

Virtual Drunken Fist Fights Say What? :D

kumuasata

Holy crap, is that "colour"? Where is all the shades of brown? :(

Flawless101

This game is gonna be crap, I can tell.

I mean, what are the developers thinking?! Everyone knows that all kickass games follow the piss yellow/shit brown color palette! Also, needs more BLOOM!

Get your shit together, Midway!

Troubadour

...I don't even know what this game is! Is it a shooter, an action adventure, or some sort of The Sims take?

NathanX

What a gross misrepresentation of vegas

Sandlot 2: The New Team

SmokeFemur

@TheGuilty1: not even for a Klondike bar?

pandafresh

I'll never play this game.............

TheGuilty1

Wow - Midway wants me to pay $60 so that I can play a douchebag simulator? Pass.

DaPress

Real colour, next-gen style! It's a shame it had to come from Midway.

@DigitalHero: You obviously didn't do your job properly. *snicker*

I'm sorry.

NameYourCharacter

Love the colour.

Hate the zombie-style character models.

Look at the second screenshot especially... the guy on the left is about to chomp on some brains.

Marlor

Ok, the difference between this game and Diablo 3 is that one is dark gothic fantasy and the other takes place in Vegas. There's PURPOSE with art style and direction...sheesh.

Kuren

@Yofu:

No, you're not.

DARTH_TIGRIS

@MadSystem:

Lol, man. I definitely agree; "The Suffering" is one of the most underrated franchises of the last-gen systems.

danterandal19

Too bad the game is about man-children wanting to do nothing but act like d-bags.

Philudo

Wanna know how Midway can take my money? XBLA and/or PSN versions of San Francisco Rush 2049 (the arcade version; they can always put the N64 version on Virtual Console) and The Grid. Other than that, yeah, I got nothing...

twinturbo2

But without brown....how will we get the impression of realism?

TRT-X

@Philudo:

Hahaha, totally agree.

WoozyB

@DaiMacculate:

hehe, classic.
Midway has been pumping out shite for the last few years when, according to the new President of the company, they were supposed to be focusing on making 'fewer games that are of higher quality.'
and This is Vegas is nothing more than small compilation of really crappy mini-games with a horrendous storyline, boring gameplay, and completely sophomoric humor.
Midway's entire lineup for this year is utter crap. The only thing worth playing MIGHT be Wheelman, but oddly enough, the only input Vin Diesel has in the game is doing the voiceover.

BigWyrm

So this game lets you become a generic drunken club hopping douchebag? Where do I sign up? /sarcasm

Gray665

this is the most brilliant idea for a game, ever. can you imagine how much time the dev's got to spend in vegas doing 'research'?

Rexpop
