Namco's Dead to Rights: Retribution is currently slated for a Q4 2009 release and today they released a set of assets to introduce one of the main players in its story ... not Jack Slate, not even Shadow the dog ... we're talking Grant City!
"Grant City is as much a character of Dead to Right: Retribution as protagonists Jack and Shadow. It’s a living breathing city, steeped in history and symbolism and provides the setting for the neo-noir, heavy-going, bleak atmosphere for this epic game.
Thrusting players into a mature neo-noir crime drama as a vice cop Jack Slate and his canine companion Shadow, Dead to Rights: Retribution introduces new gameplay elements that unify the third person shooting and brawling genres for a brutal and relentless new action-driven experience. Introducing an innovative new hybrid combat system that seamlessly blends hand-to-hand combat with gunplay, the game puts the full combat potential of a highly trained, highly agitated law-enforcement officer into players’ hands."
Their words ... not ours.
