Why they would show a 50% build is beyond me. It shows potential but it also shows it needs alot of work.

That song is pretty addicting. If the song is in the game, I'll buy it. Lulz.

Why are people judging the games visuals when its made very clear that its nowhere near done? We should be grateful to be given an insight to game development and see how games look before they're polished.

this game is still in VERY EARLY DEVELOPMENT.

thats why its not good to give whining people what they want to early because they clearly cant understand gamedevelopement. not to mention, you guys only saw one part of the game.
thats like if they just started working on the game yesterday and they showed you thier early progress,you guys would jump down thier throat and send deathnotes or something.

be patient people and understand this is gamedevelopement(things take time)

OFF TOPIC: R.I.P heath ledger. now when i see the movie, im gonna be sad

The game has a long way to go, and to say that it like "ass" at 50% done is a bit premature in my opinion. Not to mention I don't know how anyone could claim to be able to pick out any amount of detail from the crappy video we were provided with.
While I will concede that the quality of the models don't look anything like the pictures they showed previously, I wouldn't write this game off as crap just yet. If KZ2 has taught us anything is that even ambitious visions can be pulled off given the right amount of time and money. Lets just wait and see.

This game still has a lot of potential but showing stuff like this and even telling people that its was done very early in development doesn't help their game since now many people are going to write this one off.

The next time they show this game I hope they show something really interesting.

So then, we can drive, go to strip clubs and stalk people on the mini bars? I can do that in real life. =P

They didn't really show any "tech". All this did was show that it still needs A LOT of work.

There was NO point in the 'game play' where was the 'game play' it was just driving down 2 roads and walking around in a club with a music track on top. game play is actually showing you something you will do in the game when playing it, this includes duologue ect.

There was none of that, we didn't see any guns/shooting, police shushes, no voice-over nothing, PUS, you really need to look up some definitions. I'm very disappointed and, more to the point confused.

From a technical standpoint, the engine has a lot of room to stretch it's legs. It has a wonderful lighting engine, impressive atmospheric effects, and a nice use of diffuse maps. Whether or not they can tie a riveting story into the equation is anyone's guess at this point. But saying it looks like a ps2 game just makes you look ignorant. Look at how different colored lights cast different specular highlights on the character as he walks by them. Look at the quality of the skin, even at this early stage. It has a way to go, and could be a successful engine, were they to license it after development is completed.

i agree with most it looks okay, but thats because its only 50% right... if this game is getting released this year (on 360,pc) why show 50% why not something closer to completion, i get the feeling this game will quietly pass under everyones radar.

also on the first walking bit where the guy walks into the bar i thought it was shenmue lol (shenmue looked way better than that aswell).

They may regret releasing this video, much like SK with the E3 Too Human trailer...

Why would you show something, like this boring video, that's only 50% completed? Of course it good to release some info/pics but many people don't pay attention to the "still early on" part and move on to better and brighter things. Ever wonder why the Project Offset dev was so mad when that trailer was somehow released when the game was still early in the works (even though it looked amazing)? Because people make assumptions off of everything you give them.

it's really, *REALLY hard to pull off the whole "look what we can do at 50%" marketing tactic.

considering that not many people outside of, well, Steel Monkey, know *WHO, exactly, Steel Monkey are, when we see footage like this, we don't get excited, we go, "huh, that's...that's not looking too good, actually."

the reason why we get hyped about Rockstar's efforts, is because they have *EARNED it. GTA3-San Andreas, Manhunt (disturbing social experiment), the Warriors (fantastic beat 'em up), and Bully (fantastic schoolyard sim), so even though GTAIV doesn't seem to be pushing any technological envelopes like a, say, Killzone 2 or Heavy Rain, we know that they're good for it.

as you're seeing here, first impressions are *EVERYTHING.

imagine if Sony Santa Monica, back before God of War released, started showing those half done, empty levels and unfinished gameplay elements (you can see those incomplete levels and vids on the God of War 2 bonus DVD). at the time Sony Santa Monica was still a "B" studio. Twisted Metal was well received, as was War of the Monsters, but they hadn't broken into the big time. instead of releasing some 50% complete vids, they showed us finished levels and builds that looked incredibly impressive, especially being squeezed through the PS2, and then they knocked it out of the park a few months later with that classic demo of Kratos vs the Hydra.

now, with all that said, i'm keeping a look-out for this title, as i really enjoy the sandbox genre, and i'm always open to new games in the genre. but the GTA mold is getting a bit tired, honestly, and i'm more interested in sandbox games like Infamous, which add cool super-powers to the mix, or period pieces like LA Noire and Mafia 2, than the typical modern gangland take on the genre. but again, i'll try just about anything once, and i always give things the benefit of the doubt, i just think that, in comparison to the other games being released this year, and how far along in progress *THEY are, Steel Monkey should have held off a bit longer, until maybe 65-75% of the game was complete, before showing it off.

i mean, compare it to screens of games like Borderlands, GTAIV, the Getaway, Infamous, etc, and you see that 2D2V has a *LOT of catching up to do.

but the die has been cast, and first impressions have been made. it's not the end of the world, and believe me, Steel Monkey can turn, and most probably *WILL turn this negative perception of the game around, just not right now.

if it can happen with Sony and Killzone 2's pre-E3 2007 grandiose claims, and the subsequent reveal of the ingame Killzone 2, it can happen to anybody. the backlash isn't nearly at that epic of a level in concerns to the early 2 Days to Vegas screens, and the current, 50% game.

i'm looking forward to following this game's progression, really.

Did anyone actually believe they would achieve in game visuals on par with the "screens" they released? I for one, did not. It's just going to be another poor GTA clone.

The animations and lighting effects looks ahead of most games already. Looks better than GTA4 whentalking about what I stated above.

#22 Never seen gameplay for the "the Getaway" only CGI, never heard of Infamous *I'll look for gameplay* GTA4 has great detail in some things and look bad in others like Charactor textures some of GTA4 charactor design and animation look PS2-ish.

At least these guys have the balls to show us gameplay at such an early state unlike GTA. Why is everyone being so harsh on a game thats at 50% completion. Yu guys are idiots, and im sick and tired of people always talking about graphics this, graphics that. Video games are way much more than just graphics. And some of you sound like you dont know jack crap about the processing power of the next gen consoles. I mean, saying that this looks like it can run on Ps2, give me a frikkin break, ps2 wouldn't even run this at a frame rate of 15 or above. Get your heads out your ass and do some frikkin homework before you start criticizing or even trying to fling your worthless half of cents of bull crap to these developers. Im through.
