GTA Inspired Isometric Police Game The Precinct Arrests PS5

In today's political climate of Defund Police and anti-law enforcement in general, I don't see this game doing very well. I expect that it will be attacked mercilessly in an attempt to shelve the project and an expectant apology will be demanded for ever considering this project be created in the first place.

Looks really good. If they nail the open sandbox well, and it feels like a living breathing city it could be great. I enjoyed American Fugitive so will probably give this a go.

I’ve always said why are there not more games where you play as police. LA Noire was excellent and I’m surprised we don’t get more in different eras.

I guess it’s more fun to design and develop being a “law breaker” but I think we could do with more games like it.

Sleeping dogs is brilliant too

Looks interesting, will keep an eye out

I always wanted the Police Quest games to be more open, and I did like American Fugitive, but found the top-down viewpoint intolerable after a while. This game may kill those two birds with one stone.

Had me at 1980's.

Gameplay looks good, story looks like it’s going to be a press X to skip affair.

Erm…I admittedly skipped through that video just to get the gist, but I only saw one screen that was isometric. The rest, the vast majority, was a pretty standard chase cam.

Anyway, looks good. Definitely interested. Although I share the concern of others that our society has regressed to a level where this type of story might not be accepted and is therefore liable for change.

@Uncharted2007 those who say defund the police are the outspoken minority. This game will be fine.
I will definitely be picking this up

Yeah, looks good.

@Uncharted2007 I’m sorry but this is a terrible take I’d usually expect to see on Twitter. Do you honestly believe the Defund the Police movement is anti-police in principle? The whole movement is about what it says on the box - defunding the police by taking some of the money spent on military provisions and using it to supplement police action with support from social workers and mental health professionals, and in general bettering police training. Unless this game purposefully promotes police brutality, there won’t be much of a backlash. I’m actually quite intrigued by this game. These reactionary takes are not helpful.

@Uncharted2007 this comment sounds very "American". Other countries exist and none of us want to defend the police. Also, even in America, it's a tiny portion of people saying this. It's just another social media cry that people exaggerate on.

@Stocksy I've wanted an LA Noire sequel for so long. One with a better open world and more random side missions and sleeping dogs is the only game I've bought multiple times (PS3, PS4 and PC). I'd actually prefer a new LA Noire to GTA6.

The devs have an excellent Discord where they've actively taken (American Fugitive) community feedback, really hope this new game does well. Definite play for me if it hits PS Plus Extra.

@ShadowofSparta *Looks at all the cities across America [San Francisco, Seattle, Chicago, New York] that have backed criminals over law and order and continues to watch them crumble.

Dude... people have outright admitted that Defunding the Police is exactly what they want. They want zero law enforcement. Time to wake up. The ideals were taken over by the ideological zealots that are destroying western society.

@ShadowofSparta he uses words like “zealots” he is just repeating what really rich people have told him on TV whilst believing they are “not the man”

Most intelligent people understand what defunding the police means and most police agree. They don’t want to deal with the stuff that people want removed from them.

@Golem25 agree with this watched some vids of the changes they’ve made and they are amazing. Night and day. Really impressed. They’ll bring the changes into this game from the start.

@Uncharted2007 i liked your opening statement. I think some people are a bit "delicate."

@Uncharted2007 Police Simulator came out a few months ago, and I don't remember seeing any backlash or calling for the game to be shelved - and that game probably had a more realistic depiction of police work than what we'll see in this game

This looks waay more interesting than "kill them all" type of gta 1 style of games, I hope there's many creative mission type for this game

@Uncharted2007 Hopefully it doesn’t come to that. I don’t know why some people want to do this just because it’s happening in real life like come on it’s just a video game.

Whatever interest I had died with the camera position used. With a 3rd person camera like Mafia and GTA games I would be all hyped for more info on this game.

I always fall in love with the look of these games, then they let us down with bad controls, I really hope they nail it.

@Uncharted2007 Good lord, what cities exactly are crumbling because of crime? What examples? Please read something other than reactionary takes and news articles from dubious sites. Just google 7-myths-about-defunding-the-police-debunked, Brookings have a short article you can read on it.

@pyrrhic_victory Exactly, but that doesn’t support his argument so we’ll just ignore those valid data points.

@ShadowofSparta Look, if you're not willing to see the damage that's been done to these cities from policies that spawned from the Defund Police movement, then there's no helping you see the side of truth. If you don't think rampant crime where small businesses have been shuttered, sometimes burned to the ground, the spike in physical assault, theft so bad even large stores are leaving these cities.... then maybe you have a different definition of crumbling. But go ahead. You do you.

@KidRyan it sucks when developers disappear. I always wanted a Sabateur sequel as well but they've gone too.
