Speaking to MCV following Midway’s 2008 Gamers’ Day in Las Vegas, International Executive Vice President Martin Spiess has blown the trumpet of the publisher’s upcoming open-world game and big hope for 2008, This is Vegas.
“We have taken open-world gaming to the next level. All the things you want to do in a GTA kind of game but can’t – like walking through a building and everything – you can actually do in This is Vegas. You can use the slot machine, go into a nightclub and do things you always wanted to do,” said Spiess.
Just in case we were left in any doubt as to how spectacular a gaming experience Spiess hopes This is Vegas will be, he added: “You can experience something completely new. That’s the superior level we’ve taken these open-world games to.”
Confident claims indeed, especially given the universal acclaim GTA 4 has received.
