this game looks weird...

[help1]

guess not to you guys.

[XboxMaster]

I think I've heard about this game in some magazine...

[Dok Diamond]

Something else for suburban kids who think they are gangster.

They revealed this crap at the G4horia awards or whatever the hell it's called. Just another attempt to cash in on the GTA hype.

IGN: It's been established that the movie will come out around the same time as the videogame.

Oh yay, a movie!

IGN: Anytime a new videogame with urban themes comes along, an immediate comparison is made to the Grand Theft Auto series. Is that kind of correlation to Rockstar's game an association you welcome or dismiss?

Nathan: We dismiss it. The GTA series is phenomenal, no doubt about it, however, it is not the type of game we are creating. Our number one goal is to put you in LA on the streets and let you live that slice of life. Fear & Respect is much more about the actual experience and the capturing the dramatic moments. It is not an open world type of game where you can do anything and go anywhere. It is must more focused.

..as opposed to GTA:SA, which also puts you in LA (or close to it) on the streets and lets you live that slice of life.

IGN: How will Fear & Respect differentiate itself from GTA and other genre favorites like True Crime, The Shield, The Godfather, and Midway's other urban actioner, NARC?

Nathan: Fear & Respect is more about "A day in the life" and less about run and gun, kill everything in site with no consequences. In the real world, you don't run through LA, stealing cars and shooting whomever you want. Gunfights will be more true to life, you can't just stand in the open and start shooting, you'll need to take cover and be smart in gun combat. We are also creating "dramatic moments" to bring the character and the game to life.

Is it me, or did he same thing like three times? "It's not about killing with no consequences" "you don't shoot whoever you want" "you need to take cover and be smart in gun combat".. seriously, what the hell? This game's going to tank so bad..

IGN: What feature does Fear & Respect have that no other videogame on the market has?

Nathan: The Fear and Respect game mechanic is new. We want to really bring to life the point that actions have consequences (both good and bad).

Are they suggesting there's no other game on the market that shows actions have consequences?


IGN: Any last words for curious fans that might not be convinced that Fear & Respect is the game for them yet?

Nathan: If you want to live a day in the life of someone on the streets of LA, this is the game.

I'd pick up True Crime over this game. And that's the trizzle, my nizzles.

It was on the cover of ....Game Informer...I think around 2 months ago.

I fucking hate rap.

I think it was the Spike TV Video Game Awards, not G4phoria.

[ryanbph]

I hope it is good, isn't john singleton behind it...it would be good to see holywood and games pull off a succesfull mix more often..

Instant reason why this game WILL blow

So true.

I refuse to buy any game that features Snoop Dogg. The Game Informer cover with him on it made me want to throw up (and whip out a sharpie to deface his picture)

[Scrubking]

It's clear that the main reason to buy this game is because snoop is in it - which means the game is gonna suck hard.
