IGN has a great gallery of pictures of Luxoflux's new True Crime: NYC game-- a followup to their successful True Crimes: Streets of LA. According to the review, the game designers have gone all out and reproduced a fully detailed virtual Manhattan, including all the familiar landmarks-- Times Square, Chinatown, the Flatiron, St. Patricks, as well as some less familiar ones-- like 597 pizzarias and 50,000 other buildings. And where the gameplay on the last version was found to be pretty shoddy, apparently this version is much improved, with better driving and fighting action. Only one criticism so far, this one from Wired Magazine: "the traffic's almost as wicked here as in the analog version."
The game drops on November 15th, so unless you have a friend at Luxoflux, you've got a few weeks before you can start raising hell on a virtual 42nd Street. Just let us know if there are as many rats as in real life. And our previous post on True Crime: NYC focused on Marcus Reed's travels to Nolita.

"The game drops on November 15th..."
[WANKSTER SPRAY]Yo, yo, yo, Jake D. In the place to be dropping the urban vernacular like he's the son of Dracular![/WANKSTER SPRAY]
Seriously, there's nothing like hearing middle class children of privilege "drop knowledge". There's nothing like that to make us all laugh! Ha!
Truly seriously, is Luxoflux sponsoring this post?
Jack has become the new Gothamist troll. Bravo.
ha-- don't insult jack like that-- he's been trolling hard-core on gothamist since at least 2003!
"pizzeria"?
Please don't, Mr. Dobkin. But please do fix that link so I can see the digital version of Noho, my hood.
Actually Jake, it's been on and off.
What's more interesting/bizarre is your attribution of other so-called "trolling" comments to me when I never wrote anything. You really think that I'm the only one posting "foodie" and "yuppie" claims in the comments here?
Your focus on me as the only source of criticism speaks more towards your own issues--and OCD--Jake than anything else.
You should probably know that people have been using dropped in that way since the birth of product launches. So I guess that means the 'urban
vernacular' kids are just copying the middle class ad market. Way to shill, dumbass.
