Snoop and John Singleton make a videogame/movie..
At the Spike TV Video Game Awards that took place in Los Angeles, host Snoop Dogg and writer/director John Singleton debuted Fear & Respect, a new third-person action game that has obvious visual similarities to Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
Written and directed by Singleton and starring Snoop Dogg as the character Goldie, the game will take place in South Central LA. The teaser video shown at the Spike Awards showed Goldie and a friend driving around in a car, when all of a sudden they were stopped by a few thugs standing out in the street with guns. These characters proceeded to shoot up Goldie's car, causing much trouble along the way.
After this introductory sequence, brief gameplay clips were shown, revealing that the game will feature over-the-shoulder aiming for its gunplay and nice lighting effects. The footage was too quick to tell exactly how the game will play, but the action was fast-paced and explosive.
At this point, we don't know how similar Fear & Respect will be to Rockstar's LA portion of San Andreas. The visuals in the teaser video showed similar plain-shaded character models and familiar streets-of-LA backgrounds, but we don't know whether Goldie will be able to drive, play in a sandbox gameplay style, etc. Given the concept and visual style, however, we'd expect at least a few similarities. We'll be back with much more on the game from Midway's upcoming Gamer's Day in February, if not sooner.
