True Crime 2 is set in New York City

Hey, it takes awhile for the news to catch up here: My original exclusive OA announcement from May 9th. 
Supposedly it's going to be announced officially at Midnight tonight or something. I would have posted it here sooner, but I didn't know it was still "under wraps."

If Luxoflux manages a halfway decent realistic representation of the Big Apple, I think that'd make the game worthwhile itself. Half the fun in the original True Crime was romping around to locations I was familiar with as an L.A. resident.
And everybody who's been to New York should have fun visiting virtual places they've been to in real life, and there's plenty of landmarks people who've never been there will recognize anyway.
They better have some Subway interludes! I don't expect the whole ridiculously huge train grid to be modeled in the game or anything, but I want an action sequence on the subway like in Die Hard With A Vengeance.
It would be a great feature if you could quickly warp around the city by just going into a subway station and picking another location from the subway map. One of the drawbacks in the L.A. True Crime was how long it took to drive from one side of the city to another in order to do a mission.

indeed. I can't believe I ate the hype, but living in LA and being able to drive to my friend's house in the game clouded my judgement.bishoptl said:
At least, that's what I tried to convince myself. Never again. I had a good run too, since the last time I got burned (Fighting Force 2... ugh).
True Crime: Streets of L.A. was good fun, as long as you didn't expect it to be a GTA Killer.
And it got an A review score from Gaming-Age, so there!

I'll probably buy it now. For the NYC gamer, why not? They might actually create a good rendition...

They better allow us to go to the boroughs. Fuck it if it is just Manhattan.mashoutposse said:

For real... I want to go over the bridges and into the other four boroughs. Actually, that was always one of my dream games from the NES days (albeit, at that age I was only thinking about it being a racing game)

I love NYC, and I actually liked True Crime for the most part (the shooting mechanics destroy GTA's), but we've already seen an open world version of Manhattan in Spider-Man 2. I'm sure TC2 will be far more accurate and detailed, and hopefully it will include the whole city, but there are plenty of interesting cities that have never been modeled.
