True Crime
Go undercover as lethal cop Wei Shen, and combine mastery of vicious martial arts combat, devastating weaponry, high-octane action driving, and acrobatic free-running to defeat anyone that stands between Wei and his target. Descend deep into Hong Kong's criminal underbelly to take down the dangerous Triad gang. As you expand your reputation and influence throughout the city's underworld, the lines between right and wrong start to blur. To stay alive as a Triad, you must think like them, fight like them, and kill like them...
The last True Crime game, True Crime: New York City was released was back in 2005 on the PlayStation 2. So the series has yet to land on this generation of consoles. Now that is a true crime. Activision looks to pay their debt to society by releasing yet another installment.
Most open world games feature thugs as their lead role, which admittedly, allows for more fun scenarios in the storyline. True Crime, however, features Wei Shen, an undercover cop out to take down the Triads by any means necessary. This has Shen consistently crossing that fine line between good guy and bad guy. He’s gone undercover to infiltrate the Triad crime-syndicate and make the streets of Hong Kong a safer place.
As the title suggests, the game takes place in Hong Kong, which makes for an extremely varied canvas for you to paint with Triad blood. Hong Kong is rich in culture and features everything from markets teeming with activity, to quiet fishing villages, to a financial district with skyscrapers. The streets are filled with NPCs, and each one can be interacted with. Some will give you quick, one-liners, but many of them will give you useful information, or explain story elements.
Since you are an undercover cop, you’re constantly faced with tough decisions. How far will you go to keep your cover? Activision has introduced what they call the “faces” system, which gauges your morality and will ultimately affect how you are viewed by others. Doing the right thing nets a higher score, and will have more citizens willing to offer their assistance.
Although the game is primarily an open world game, there’s also a good deal of focus on “cinematic” driving scenes, such as car chases, and other heart pounding action sequences. Combat is the game’s shining feature as Wei Shen has some serious martial arts skills. He’ll also be able to grab and use weapons, grapple, and even use the environment to take down his foes. We witnessed one sequence atop a building where Shen grabbs a Triad and jams his face into a moving fan in an air conditioning unit. Gruesome.
To get a better feel for Hong Kong and the Triad reign of terror, United Front Games sat down with real-life Triads to get their take on crime. The team at United Front Games working on True Crime consists of talent from EA Blackbox, responsible for the Need for Speed series, along with some folks from Rockstar games, who of course are behind the open-world innovator, the Grand Theft Auto series.
The combination of compelling, cinematic storytelling, deep combat, and massive open world makes True Crime: Hong Kong a game to watch. True Crime: Hong Kong is pegged for a September release date.

After waiting for a sequel to True Crime, this is awesome.

Oh god yes, the great times i had in true crime new york. Frisking people, going into stores to randomly find people robbing the store and you trying to stop them. Also, the best part is being a good and bad cop.
Also guys, here is an interview on their devs and the game.

They must of had a lot of bags of crack up their buttholes. then some in their ears? and their eyeballs?

and up their dicks
this reminds me of stranglehold
If it turns out to be any good I'll get it on PC. I enjoyed the first one on PS2 but never bothered with the second.
Yea the series was pretty good just hope that pc port isnt shitty as fuck
I loved that blatant witty humor in the first one and the absurd action. This is going to be pretty awesome if it's like Just Cause with kung fu in Hong Kong.
Highly doubt it but if this is actual in game screenshot then holy shit.

I must admit, they did a good job making everyone have the same expression.

In the original game, the people who looked at you while they walked past carried drugs. That was Streets of LA though. Either that, or they don't look at you.

No, that's only an illustration.
No, because I'm too damn poor.
I have always liked True Crime series
I raged so hard at the last boss in the first game :argh:
Why do they keep making these games?
SoLA was garbage, NYC was ten times worse, I'd have thought they'd give up and move on to another IP by now.
Third times the charm?
[QUOTE=werner;22700229]I have always liked True Crime series[/QUOTE]
Yeah, I never understood the hate against it. I loved both of the games and played them for at least 50 hours.

[B]"Ahwww.. You kicked me![/B]
The first one was ok, never played the second, I'm not sure what to think of this.
Streets of LA was pretty good, but it was unpolished as hell. In some parts of the city buildings would obviously be sunken halfway into the ground or there were parts of ground that had huge holes in them so you could see through the world.
NYC was just plain crap. It's basically unplayable.
i dont remember having trouble playing it
To bad that guy has the same expression all the time its like :geno:
Holy shit this game looks awesome. It's like GTA turbocharged with Kung-Fu

maybe you know they're working on more important shit than facial expressions right now?

Well it makes it harder to hunt people down when the Asians all look the same. They at least need to add a sad face when they die.
And the release is relatively soon.
