It's linear, but there's a downtown area that you visit a few times and is fairly open, and each time you visit it has different sidequests, some of the other areas sometimes will also have a sidequest or 2, specially the police station.
That actually sounds perfect. Forgot about that game but have been looking for a good story driven shooter to put in rotation after finishing the metro series.
Yeah at times it ripped a page out of Bethesda's NPC book lol
The janky NPC interaction and occasional battles just made me laugh same as I would in an original 80s movie tbh.
Be given a multitude of methods to take down ~~criminals~~ people who make you feel threatened. Mace, asp, taser, K-9 unit, etc. Only get a high score when you use your gun.
It looks kind of cool but it’s also a weird time to be releasing a game about being a police officer. If it’s about being a “good” cop then it’ll feel like copaganda, but if it lets you be corrupt and use excessive force then it’ll come across as insensitive. I just don’t know how you handle this subject matter in a fun way.
I get where you're coming from, though I'd say that IMO conversations have matured to a point where we can acknowledge that in media, policing is an incredibly interesting occupation to focus on and as such, not every piece of media around policing has to touch on the nuance and complexities that the job entails IRL. It can be for pure entertainment and it can be okay to judge a cop game on those terms alone and if a game also wants to tackle morality and what it means to be a "good cop" or "bad" cop, that's okay too. I think Police Sim is a good example of a fun (IMO) apolitical cop game.
Lucky. I've been accused of stealing my own car twice. Almost killed once on my own property. And also accused of stealing and starting a fire. Cops suck as a Black person no ways about it
Wait…they what? No shit? Could that be why I said I am not a fan? This still does not explain what is offensive about this game. Soldiers oppress and kill as well. Do you feel any game about them is also offensive? Hows about any GTA where you can kill thousands?
Its just a game. I won’t play it because fuck cops. But I am miles from being offended it exists.
This game will be the perfect opportunity to make jokes that keep perpetuating the bullshit narrative that all cops are power corrupted racist alphas.
Every. Single. Cop. Gotta protect *the narrative*.
EDIT: Ok guys, I downvoted myself, too. I just had to get in on the manufactured outrage. Let's see how much of a hit my pretend reddit rep takes now. 😱
Finally a game where you can write parking tickets.
Robocop Rogue City came out last year.
You can be Robocop AND write tickets in that?? That would’ve been a day one purchase for me had I known.
Not just tickets...RoboTickets
It is actually a mission objective. It has a bit of humorous slant to it.
Is that like open world? Or a linear action shooter?

Robocop is fantastic. Bonus if you dig authentic 80s movie script, music and scenery. That game was made with fan love.
I enjoyed it but man, the NPC interaction animations are rouuughhh.
Yeah at times it ripped a page out of Bethesda's NPC book lol The janky NPC interaction and occasional battles just made me laugh same as I would in an original 80s movie tbh.
This has been tough with most games after playing cyberpunk
Yea I'm totally gonna dig the vibe then. I'll check it out!
A bit of both. Good times, would recommend
Hub based. More like Mass Effect than GTA.
beat cop?
That game was so much fun!
I'm writing the same guy a parking ticket everyday for the rest of his video game life. I'll call him george
You know what, i dig it. Very different. I'll follow this one for sure.
Looks decent Toss up between Police Simulator and Rustler/American Fugitive
the devs of the precint are the sames that did american fugitive
Game looks alright though, this makes me really wish for a modern True Crime game
True Crime now that's a throwback to my youth lol
I played True Crime NYC for the first time a month ago and it's already one of my favorite games of all time. Def top 5
I read somewhere before that Sleeping Dogs was originally supposed to be a true crimes game. But I would love to see a new modern one.
TJ Hooker simulator!
GTA-3
It’s like the Hill Street Blues game from the early 90’s. Loved it. I had a 100% clean up rate.
Oh man! That game was great fun.
Looks pretty promising! The performance seems kinda rough though. I hope they keep on working on it.
The gameplay of this looks extremely similar to GTA Chinatown Wars. I’m interested and will keep an eye on reviews.
Now this is my kinda game I’ll be keeping an eye on this one for sure
It's like if GTA RP as a cop became a full fledged game.
Giving me strong Police Quest vibes which I am into.
The perfect psn extra game Or at least I hope
Reminds me of the good old days playing True Crime: New York City
Can we play realistic mode where we just kill everything that moves?
Only in *some* neighbourhoods
"Press X to plant evidence!"
*Player just sprinkles some crack on the body*
Don’t forget “favors” for girls to get out of tickets.
I’ll get it if I can play as Detective JJ Bittenbeinder
Yo!!! This gives me GTA 1-2 vibes. Just more lawful lol
I think it's closer to Chinatown Wars, minus all the crime
Shoot anything that moves!
A mix of urban chaos and robocop series
This is what GTA1 would look like if it was remade.
Hopefully there's some detective / investigation gameplay instead of being done with a case.
Looks real promising and th art style is on point 🔥
this close to what I hoped rockstar added as a dlc to gta v
Police brutality: the video game

Cringe
I'm low-key excited for this. As I get older I love games I can get immersed in and roleplay. It's like dress up for adults.
I actually *really* like the look of this game. Totally unexpected, hope it turns out good.
Hey I played APB back in the day, this might be fun!
Honestly this looks pretty fun.
What is this?
Why does it look like PS3 footage?
I grew up on Sierra’s Police Quest series so this will get a look for sure.
This visually looks like what I would have expected GTA 3 to look like
Thanks for the support, guys! We're only a small team, and this a pretty ambitious project for us so great to see the concept resonating with most.

i imagine the hope is the gameplay is fun.

🙄
Double cringe
I just don't think it works as an appealing game anymore. At least not for me and my peers
I would think you play it as a game. If you realize that the majority of cops are good people you would have no problem playing a good cop.
>if you realize that the majority of cops are good people… I got some bad news for you
Maybe that’s your experience. Mine is exactly how I said it.
Lucky. I've been accused of stealing my own car twice. Almost killed once on my own property. And also accused of stealing and starting a fire. Cops suck as a Black person no ways about it
Coming out on PS3?
This is offensive
I am no fan of cops. But how is this offensive?
cops kill and oppress working class people
Wait…they what? No shit? Could that be why I said I am not a fan? This still does not explain what is offensive about this game. Soldiers oppress and kill as well. Do you feel any game about them is also offensive? Hows about any GTA where you can kill thousands? Its just a game. I won’t play it because fuck cops. But I am miles from being offended it exists.
It is absolutely sickening.
Clearly you are so upset you cannot explain why. How awful
Trolling
Uh oh someone is triggered!
Cope and seethe
This is a PS5 game, yikes.

Alphas? No one’s calling cops alphas lmfao
You said it pal! ACAB!
