Partying. Gambling. Driving. Fighting. What else is there to do while in Las Vegas? (Don’t answer that.) Seattle-based developer Surreal Software (The Suffering) thinks that that’s all you’ll really need to get immersed in the hyper-realistic world of their upcoming decadent open-world romp for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, This Is Vegas.
When tyrannical fast food mogul Preston Boyer wants to turn Las Vegas into his vision of a family-friendly tourist trap, you have no choice — you have to party harder, race faster, and spray down girls in the occasional wet t-shirt contest. Oh yes, this is the world of This Is Vegas.
Just by watching one of the game’s trailers, the game can easily be (incorrectly) pegged as a “Grand Theft Auto rip-off,” but Surreal seem intent on doing everything they can to differentiate themselves from the pack. Sure, you can hop into (read: steal) cars and race all over the strip. Shooting things? This Is Vegas has that, too. But it also has cage fighting, synchronized dancing, bartending, and gambling. Oh, and wet t-shirts. Did I mention that yet?
Well, if you missed it, I’ll probably mention it again after the jump.
