True Crime 2 setting revealed News • News • Eurogamer.net

News PlayStation 2 GameCube Xbox

It's all going off in the big apple.

It's been revealed that the the follow-up to True Crime: Streets of LA - due out on PS2, Xbox and Gamecube this autumn - is set in good old Noo Yoik Ciddy.

Head on over to the True Crime 2 website to meet the game's hero, tough-looking gangster-type Marcus Reed. The website also features a few screenshots and an obligatory NWA-lite accompanying rap tune.

True Crime 2 will be published by Activision this autumn. Any game that features a black person who isn't a gangster or doesn't have some kind of a connection to gangsters has yet to be announced.

Sod gangsters, let's have a game set in Bret Easton Ellis' glacial worldview.

e.g. Level 1: Meet up with Mark and Brad. Go shopping. Drive a porsche. Brutal violence. Sex with Mandy...

I thought it strange that there was a compo you could enter to guess the new setting when the UK OPS2M had details of it a week or so ago!

SIGINT! No, wait, I remember he did threaten to pop a cap in Snake's ass at one point.

What was the one game with the black cop lady? Crisis or chaos something, I think. 3rd person actioner some three or so years old.

Good point about black game characters, though, even if it may not be strictly correct.

wotsit Jolee in KOTOR. He was a Jedi master, which must count for something. Though he did have a bad habit of running in circles in combat until finding a grenade to be hit by. Not such a good example after all, perhaps.
