lol. Curleh got it. His post said "Discus!" instead of "Discuss!" so I was just messin around with him. Well, I'll contribute to the actual convo. I'm glad they picked this up because I loved the first TC game and this one looked pretty damn good. If they keep the game the exact same and just change the name, I'll buy it.
Just Cause 2 is, in my opinion, the greatest open-world sandbox game ever made. And yes, I've played them all. I mention this because Square-Enix also published Just Cause 2. True Crime has potential. The first True Crime was definitely underrated for it's time. Although you must remember that IGN gave True Crime a 8.5 when it was released. There are some unique ideas in play there. Stuff that can be modernized and flushed out. Stuff that can make True Crime as franchise different then GTA or most so-called "GTA clones."
This is pretty great really. The title reall had a ton of potential, and it was a shame to hear that the game was canceled. But now it's great since it's being ressuructed, and by square Enix too.
