2 Days 2 Vegas

- Start date
*gg* nun mal nicht so negativ. Das Spiel sieht sehr gut aus. Und mit
solch tollen Impressionen gewinnen die russischen Entwickler "Steel
Monkeys" bestimmt schnell einen Publisher. Das war bei ihrem
vergangenem Portfolio jedenfalls genau so und die Spiele erweckten
bei weitem nicht so viel Interesse.

na, ich hab zwar nur Master Rallye (http://www.steelmonkeys.com/en/projects/master_rallye_game) mal gespielt, aber das war wirklich schlecht (pc version). davon mal abgesehen:
das bild ist an die zwei jahre alt und war damals nur ein target render. die aktuellen shots sehen nicht schlechter oder besser aus, weshalb man auch davon ausgehen kann, dass es nur target render bilder sind. und imo müssen sich bislang erstmal ost europäische game devs beweisen. die meisten (vornehmlich auf pc veröffentlichten spiele) sind entweder nur mittelmäßig entworfen, oder bieten einfach mal schlechte "art".
wenn sie es wirklich mit dem game schaffen, dann ist ja alles gu, allerdings glaube ich erst dran,w enn sie einen publisher haben und das spiel ine iner spielbaren version irgendwo gezeigt wird. solange läuft das projekt für mich unter dme titel: vaporware

naja ich bin keiner der spekuliert. Und schon gar nicht wenn ich selber
nicht weiß sondern nur schätze das das Render od gar echte InGame
Shots sind. Ich weiß es nicht. Und deswegen sollte man sich daüber
auch nicht den Kopf zerbrechen wie auf vielen anderen Foren darum
gestritten wird ob das nun echt ingame is oder render / cutszene.
Keiner weiß es doch ^^ Bin aber mal gespannt wie GTA IV aussehen
wird. Hoffe neue Referenz in diesen Whole City / Landscape Games!

Steel Monkeys, having gone bust in Scotland, pops up in Minsk
PAUL ROGERSON
STEEL Monkeys, a former mainstay of Scotland's battered computer games industry, has been reborn in Belarus - less than a year after the UK firm of the same name went bust, leaving 30 Glasgow staff owed un-paid wages and creditors nursing losses of ?500,000.
However, Derek McLennan, the defunct Glasgow developer's former managing director, stressed that he does not own a stake in the Minsk business.
It is apparently run by Tim Dvoskin, the liquidated Scottish company's former business development director.
Dvoskin, a gaming enthusiast from Russia, is thought to have invested about half the ?500,000 used to start up Steel Monkeys in 1998.
McLennan is listed on the new steelmonkeys.com website as the firm's UK contact, operating from an office suite in Buchanan Street, Glasgow.
Speaking yesterday, however, he said this is merely a consultancy appointment, which he was asked to take on recently. McLennan said he works full-time in an entirely separate business.
One embittered ex-staffer in Glasgow was unimpressed. He said: "Derek McLennan seems to have landed on his feet, apparently having started afresh using essentially the same company name, citing all the old company's projects as "history" for the new one, and apparently relying on all the old company's intellectual property.
"All only a few months after going into receivership without paying creditors, including employees wages."
The new steelmonkeys website records that a foreign company, Steel Monkeys (Belarus) was set up in Minsk in May 2004, where the UK business already had an office.
"From this date, a strategic decision was taken to move the company's main game development operations to Belarus, with a smaller representative office remaining in the UK," the site adds.
The UK firm collapsed into liquidation two months later - a fact not recorded on the website - leaving debts of ?500,000. Staff - owed at least two weeks' wages - had to rely on statutory redundancy compensation.
Kenneth Craig, the company's liquidator, said at the time that remaining assets were sold off before his appointment.
McLennan added yesterday: "Everything which took place with the receiver (sic) was above board and done perfectly legally : I have nothing to hide."
Steel Monkeys, set up by brothers Derek, Andrew and Gordon McLennan, was once one of the Scottish computer games industry's brightest prospects. It claimed profitability until 2002, when it was hit by the collapse of Liverpool software house Rage.

Ja spinn ich heute? Hab ich irgendetwas verpasst? News zu sovielen Spielen und jetzt kommt "2 Days 2 Vegas" auch noch dazu.

There have been no word regarding 2 Days to Vegas since we mentioned it briefly last June. Actually, we just mentioned it as a upcoming title for the Xbox360. At the GDC this year, Playstation Universe was able to talk with Edwin Loo of Steel Monkey Ltd (Oh joy!).
2 Days to Vegas has been floating just beneath the press radar and the devs have purposely been tight-lipped regarding the game. According to Loo, this was done to keep "creative control". They even refused to look for a publisher until they get the game completely finished. So inevitably, the storyline and content were kept under lock and key - which was apparently easy considering Steel Monkey only has a small population (5
.
The story centers on the main character, Vinny, who has to travel from New York to Vegas in two days - hence the title (we could smell a fun road trip brewing here). Vinny's objectives are yet to be specified but Loo promises that the game would be as immersive as (or far more immersive than) GTA. Wait, we could already hear gamers' protests. The comparison is a given, says Loo, as 2 Days to Vegas also has open ended sets.
Anyway, 2 Days to Vegas is a third person shooter reportedly inspired by movies' impact on people. Think of how you feel after you leave the movie theater, though that depends entirely on the movie you watched. The road trip will take players to a virtual trip across America as the locations and cities are of stunning detail (check out the screen of the Brooklyn Bridge).
An in-house game engine was used and would feature global lighting and HDR lighting. They also included a "garbage generator" to simulate the clutter on the city streets. Talk about attention to detail. Loo comments on the Blu-Ray as a distribution media, "Blu-Ray solves a lot of our problems." With that much detail and content on their hands, they might just have trouble fitting it to one disk.
Anyway, 2 Days to Vegas is set to hit on 2008. You can check out how it's shaping up via the screens, and we'll keep you posted on further developments.

Neue Infos
2 Days 2 Vegas soll auf der PS3 Anfang 2009 nach den anderen Version erscheinen. Man habe nicht genug Mitarbeiter um sich auf drei Plattformen gleichzeitig zu konzentrieren.
Edwin Loo, der Producer, ist begeistert von der neu gewonnenen Speicherkapazität durch Blu-Ray, daher ist es gut möglich dass die PS3-Version mehr Inhalt bieten wird.
Das Spiel ist momentan zu 50% fertig, sodass noch einige grafische Effekte wie Anti-Analising fehlen.
