PSU Exclusive: First Look at 2 Days 2 Vegas

Posted on January 21st, 2008 at 02:34 EDT

Looking for something that might provide a more emotional and story driven experience than Grand Theft Auto? Perhaps a game that makes you feel like the choices you make effect the outcome of the storyline? Then 2 Days 2 Vegas should be at the top spot on your list.

If you are looking for a general synopsis on the game then check out our preview here. However for further details we contacted the developers at Steel Monkey, and got an inside scoop on what gamers can expect from the title now and when it releases later this year.

First off, let us just get this out of the way. 2 Days 2 Vegas will appear on the PC and Xbox 360 this Christmas, and then be followed by the PlayStation 3 release soon after in 2009. The reason for moving the PS3 development back is simple.

"Resources," said Tim Dvoskin, managing director at SteelMonkey. "We are too small to tackle everything at once."

However our thoughts are perhaps with more time, the developers will use the PS3 to their advantage, utilizing the Blu-ray format to include more content in the game. It seemed to us that when we spoke with Edwin Loo, the games producer, at GDC 2007, Steel Monkey was excited about the extra storage Blu-ray provided and that they would actually use it.

Now let's talk about the new screenshots. All the images we present today and the videos we show off tomorrow are from a very early build of the game. What you will see is basically the game at 50% completion. To further describe it, such things as ambient filters (lighting, shading, etc) and anti aliasing (smoothing of edges on objects and models) has not been added. Although rest assured, Tim confirmed with us that the game will have both when shown later this year.

You can view the entire list of new screenshots here, or just enjoy some of our top picks below. Stay tuned for tomorrow when we release the first footage of 2 Days 2 Vegas in motion.

I hope this game lives up to the original screenshots it has to fight off a lot of other really good games this year.

If this lives up to the hype, maybe GTA will have some very close competition

You guys are so quick to make up your minds....Hopefully seeing the game in motion will stop the "looks like a PSP or PS2"  game comments.

I really hope that the shaders etc they need to still add to the game makes a huge difference.. otherwise i must say that visually... it's not quite as i had hoped.

sweet!  #3 you go ahead and get that for your Elite, I`ll just wait another month or so and be playing extra content for the Ps3, also and not have to hassle to switch disks in the middle of the game. You know blu-ray can hold the whole game on 1 disk, so you have fun switching disk to disk.  you go ahead and get it (for the my Elite) Mina san kono hito bakajanai no sanban no hito? konoyarrro!!!!!

look's very promising to me, even if i do buy gta4, that won't bother me to buy this one (if its worth the money) especially that i don't think it will be out befor the end of the year even do i hope it does!

 Well I take offense to pushing our version back. So the PS3 version is an afterthought?  "Dont worry guys, its only the ps3, no rush, go ahead and push it back to next year." Is that the stance they want to take? Boy are they in for a shock when they see the install base the end of this year. Screw it, I will have plenty of other games this year, and by 2009, this game will be old news (like Lost Planet) so I will pass.

psn id: gingo...this is title looks awesome and once again a delay is a good thing for the ps3 version because of the extra content only problem is the xbots goin on about more delays for ps3 and stuff like that

Oh F**ck that. Released on 360 and PC then Delayed on PS3. I'm sick of this crap. I waited an extra 3 months to get Stranglehold just to realize that it's an inferior port and plays better on 360. I hope to God that these developers can get their heads out of their asses and make a decent PS3 game. If this game isn't up to par with the other titles It won't be worth the wait. Please don't let us down, make a game the surpasses the other versions please.

BAH...it's sad the PS3 version went to 2009, but at least their planning focusing all people around it I guess. Want to see it in motion :)

Not interesting at all. Where's the gameplay? You're going to have to show me some real gameplay before I even consider it.

If people think the PS3 version come out in 2009 is a good thing, I laugh at you. Why PS3 owners always have to wait for multiplatform games???

san andreas looks better than this....this will be a flop

It seems, as in most multi-platformers that 2 Days to Vegas will be worth the wait for it to come out on the PS3. I have all of the other platforms, but choose to wait for many games for this very same reason (Blu-Ray). BUT this one might be the exception...

Im actually glad this one is coming out in 2009 because honestly late 2008 looks packed with alot of games and im going to need a few games pushed back to pay for them. also looks to be a nice game.

Total ripoff from Grand Theft Auto, and ripoffs don't get my vote..and "Steel Monkey"? what kind of name is that...

although it does look like a gta rip, i think this looks promising.  i'm also glad that they are going to take their time with the ps3 version and do it right. i mean waiting isn't always fun but at least it will pay off. ( i hope )
