Details have slipped into the world of the upcoming next-gen title from Midway - it's what we like to call a 'decadence sim', and it goes by the name of This is Vegas.
Yes, SPOnG just called it a decadence sim. The aim is to party hard. Yes, SPOnG just used 'party' as a verb. It felt appropriate. Read the official spiel from Midway and you'll see why:
Open sandbox world, guns, fists, women, cars, morally questionable behaviour... It has a familiar ring to it. Grand Theft Auto, anyone?
The game is currently slated for a winter release on Midway's American website and will be released on the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC.
You can see the first screens and video below, then let us know what you reckon in the Forum.

"When a powerful businessman begins turning Vegas into a family-friendly tourist trap, you must start your own powerful empire and resurrect the famous adult playground. Party hard at the hottest clubs to make VIP connections. Grow your bankroll by hitting high stakes tables. Race the fastest cars on the underground circuit to raise your reputation. Fight off enemies with fists and firearms to prove your strength. Where you go and what you do is your call whether counting cards, seducing dangerous women, cruising the strip or starting bar brawls, you must put the sin back in sin city."

Not one gun though... surely the sights and sounds of Vegas really need huge numbers of excessively powerful weapons?
What's the point in having all of those posers in one room without an autocannon?

The bit with the guitar player looks like it could be fun! With the onset of guitar hero there aren't enough guitar-based mini-games built into sandbox games!!

Yeah! Hope for some new mini-games ideas too, but I´m more interested in the gambling stuff of the game.
