Monday at the Game Developers Conference (GDC) 2007 PSU met up with Edwin Loo, the "head monkey" at Steel Monkey Ltd., to talk about their current project, 2 Days 2 Vegas. They came away from the meeting thoroughly impressed with the game, and looking forward to the game when it debuts in 2008.
2 Days to Vegas was at one time pitched as a GTA killer, however 9 years later the title is still not out, Lazygamer decided to do a check up on the title
Don't know for sure, also there are many "GTA killer" games that never saw the light.

We've scoured every inch of the 'Game Achives' (A small building in East Slough) for these titles that have been rather quiet for a while…Too quiet. Clean your rose-tinted glasses and practice your 'Ohh, I remember that one!' voice, because some of these are very good at staying unnoticed…"
Gamestar recently posted an interview with Timothy Dwoskin, CEO of Steel Monkeys. The website is in russian, so the google translation isn't very good. If you want to read the full interview, go to the second link.
Visit the first link however to check all the new screenshots. Some of the ones posted via the first link aren't even located in the Gamestar gallery.
Looks alright, I'm rather surprised. I presume these are PC screens as the very last shows "Press E to use object".
Yeah. They are PC screens, however according to the interview, the "Steel Engine" allows them to develop the title across all three platforms (PS3, Xbox 360, and PC) seamlessly, similar to CryEngine 3.
The first had to build the engine and debug any kinks. Now I think they are just working on the game and we'll see a lot of fine tuning in the next year. I really hope they can get a publisher I would love to see how expansive and free-roaming all the cities are.
We already know that New York and Las Vegas are two complete cities players can move around in.
Look at the difference in character models jacket though between November 08 and the new screenshots:
Image 1 = Nov 08
Image 2 = Sept 09
Looks alright? You've seen pics of a sandbox game that looks better?
Please provide links.
Kill it with Fire
I remember the hype this got off those CG screens
then we seen actual gameplay from VGE and it looked wack
Now that I look again, this will probably be
like that horror ATARI game,
it looks just like that.
I remember seeing pics from this game a long time ago, and being utterly floored by them. There was this one with a pick-up truck that was as real as it can get. Happy to see they're still working on this game, but doubt I'll be playing it if it's really open-ended. I've never been a fan of sandbox gameplay (looking at you GTA).
Been then again, you can't judge a game merely on its genre.
EDIT: Here's the pic I was talking about http://www.ps3rules.com/ps3...

so is this game also coming to the 360?
Stop showing pics. Show me a finished product. I bet this is not ingame.
I have been follwing this game. A few things , first these are definetly bullshots , no way is that ingame. Second it's straight vaporware , the orginal development house was liquidated and employees left due to not getting paychecks. Last I heard a small group of ex employees are in Canada looking for a publisher. Vaporware Total !
