I don't care what anyone says. The first two games were garbage. And I loved them.

United Front runs deep wih the triads. You heard it here first. 
 
But on a more serious note, it looks like they're putting a lot more care and deication than the last games.  I;m deffinitely very interested in what else thy have to show.

Great interview!
 
Not sure what to make of this game, given that the previous True Crime games were... forgettable. This one could be awesome with all the cool mechanics they're throwing in, but it could also fall on its ass with all the amount of mechanics they're throwing in... Best of luck!

Game looks interesting. Maybe I'll get it at $30 since the combat, and driving look alright.

This is the first time I've noticed Midnight Brown in the background of an interview video. Do they do this often?

I think i played the first True Crime game. . .  can't remember for sure. But this does look pretty good. Nice to see you can slam doors into people's heads. I cannot think of many games that would not benefit from being able to do that. Also the stuff about meeting Triads and seeing the inside of their group was pretty amazing. I just hope in the end the game lives up to the intense levels of research they've put into it.

The character movement from action to action looks pretty janky.. but it seems like it could be a pretty fun game.

Seems like it could be really cool but those animations are looking a bit 3rd person Fallout 3.

Never played the first True Crime games, but an open world game set in Hong Kong is about the coolest fucking thing EVER. There's not a city on Earth, real or imagined, that would make a more interesting setting. I'm really excited for this one.

F or the people who are wondering, the animation looks janky because every true crime game has horrible animations and gameplay. Lord knows why they keep making the damn things.

Why can't they just slap a 3 on it? Or just call it "True Crime: Hong Kong"? All they are doing is making sites like this one more complicated.

I don't know buddy, this looks like 'True Crime:' to me. It has that ps2-esque motion to it. These guys need to stop trying to balance "crazy" with "real", and just choose one. I predict standard True Crime game crashes and plenty of boring-ass side missions.

God, people are really shitting on this game for no reason. It won't be the same as the others because it's new guys making it on new technology. The animation probably looks a bit janky because it's an early build.

Those are some nice Lacoste glasses. This game seems to have potential, if its Just Cause 2 but in Hong Kong, I'm on board.

No ragdoll in a game like this in 2010..... dissapointing
 
Does look fun though, I like the freerunning and driving and fighting look pretty good. I will keep my eye on this one

Played the first one and thought it was alright, but thats irrelevant really because its a new developer so any previous gripes anyone has had with these games has no merit at least not yet. 
 
Looks interesting, I like the idea behind making everything flow together and feel good. Animation does look a lil odd but its early footage so who knows. Anyone else notice Gorden Freemens been working out lol.

 All i ask is they carry over the trunk full o weapon system! but i doubt it.
 
And yeah, plenty of people shitting all over it, i'm not surprised in the slightest, but i am disappointed with them.
 
I wont defend no ragdoll though...or maybe i will, some games have done it so bad that animation may be a better choice if done right, blending the two together works best though.
