...

See, there was this little thing called a "bankruptcy" and sale of assets that has kinda thrown everything into chaos here.

Wait until the dust settles, and then see what comes from that. Nothing CAN be released right now, until everything is settled with the new management, etc.

And.. over a year? The forum has only been here since March.... MidwayGenie posted that he would release more info soon in May. But that's been put on hold for obvious reasons.

Surreal nor Midway Games owes you or us gamers waiting for This is Vegas anything. We didn't buy the game yet hence the obligation for them to do things for us is not their.

That being said, just wait a few more weeks. This is Vegas is the only game coming out from Midway this year and I'm sure Warner wants to release it to make their $33 million back.

What makes you think this game will sell any better than Wheelman?

Wheelman was more complete at the time and This is Vegas has had a few setbacks (like some big players defecting to other studios like X-Ray Kid Studios and near 0 funding while Sumner Redstone was bailing out of the sinking ship (or whatever the hell they were doing).

Anyway Surreal are still working on the game (I managed to track down one of the Surrealeites finally) and he was kind enough to respond.

I have also asked whether they have a website for regular updates as this one is now Redundant and will be Liquidated (or aborbed) like the rest of the company (Sorry Sheyla and Genie).

Well? Do they? If so... where? There's a fansite, but I haven't seen anything official for a good long time.

If this forum DOES dissolve, there are at least two places that will be able to carry the interested until something official is established.

Here's a This Is Vegas fansite:
http://thisisvegasforum.com/index.php

Here's Surreal-News, a long-time Surreal fansite:
http://www.surreal-news.com/index.php

Obviously, I'd prefer something official, but unless and until that arrives... there are options.

Neither site currently enjoys much traffic, but that will undoubtedly change when the game comes out.
