WB: This is Vegas not cancelled News

Warner Bros. has denied that former Midway openworld title This is Vegas has been canned, despite a US retailer telling customers pre-orders would not be fulfilled.

WorthPlaying reported over the weekend that GameStop had removed the game from its listings and told customers it had been cancelled.

However, G4 was subsequently told otherwise by Warner Bros., which acquired Midway's assets earlier this year.

"This is Vegas has not been cancelled," a spokesperson said. "The game is currently in production."

The game had been billed as an openworld affair where you "gamble, race, party and fight", and was in development at Surreal Software in Seattle.

Check out our This is Vegas preview from last year's Midway Gamers Day event to see how it was - and apparently still is - shaping up.

It should be cancelled, it looked like a load or arse.

I'd question the sanity of anyone pre-ordering this on the basis of what's been shown so far.

As long as it doesn't go down the same road as Godfather 2, It might stand a chance of being a nice hybrid GTA.

In this game, you can annoy people by throwing pebbles at them and you can beat up hookers. If it ever sees the light of day, I know myself well enough - I'll secretively play it.

you can beat up hookers in real life if you want, they're not people.

That's a bit going too far with dark humour.

Guess it must be close to done then as I can't see why anyone would want to put more money into this thing. Just shove it out the door and pretend it never happened.

I'd totally buy it for �10...
