Brian Altano: For all their ambition, the good cop/bad cop karmic system meets open-world, GTA-style sandboxes of the last two True Crime games never really clicked with me. Sure, the block-for-block recreation of New York City featured in the last installment allowed me to cruise by what was supposed to be my old lower east side apartment and crash my car into some guy who looked a little like the asshole landlord I had at the time, but ultimately it was a shallow and empty city inhabited by nothing but my own disappointment. The driving felt loose, the city felt empty, and combat left much to be desired -- a "jack of all trades, master of none" gathering of gameplay missteps that seems to plague many such ambitious sandbox games. This time around, though, the franchise reboot simply known as True Crime aims to fix all of that by blending combat, gunplay, driving and general action sequences into one seamless experience. And if Activision's GDC demonstration is any indication, True Crime is on the right track towards accomplishing just that. This time around True Crime takes place in a vividly imagined modern-day Hong Kong that's teeming with nightlife and criminal activity.
Activision already announced plans to reboot its open world action series, but True Crime's appearance at GDC 10 is the first time the company has given us a peak. With former developer Luxoflux out of the picture, the publisher has called upon the talents of new studio United Front Games, which is also working on the PlayStation 3 exclusive Mod Nation Racers.This new version of True Crime wipes the slate clean from the previous two titles in every way â?? a new proprietary engine, a new narrative direction, and a new tone that leaves the campy action of its predecessors in the rearview mirror. Where the first games focused heavily on branching narrative paths and a cop morality system, the True Crime reboot boasts a linear story. Set in the inner city of Hong Kong, players will experience a crime story not unlike Chinese cinema hits like Infernal Affairs, which was remade in the State by Martin Scorcese and retitled The Departed.While the story drops the branching paths and good cop/bad cop shtick, one thing remains similar to the first two games: this reboot still features a cop protagonist. But as our demo started, it became obvious that leading man Wie Shen's approach to police work is less than squeaky clean.
