The Precinct releases 13th May

Looks interesting. If the price is decent I'll pick it up.

It's $30

The fact that there is review embargo until the last moment tells me that the developers dont have much faith in their game

And here the driving sounds great

The action occurs both on foot and in vehicles so, whenever you're not airborne over the city, a typical shift will involve hoofing it after some suspects before tackling and subduing them – and high-speed, paint-trading car chases to catch others. Those car chases are terrific thanks to The Precinct's strong handling model. Vehicles may appear cute and toy-like on screen thanks to the elevated, isometric camera angle, but they're not sticky or twitchy. They have a really well-honed sense of weight as you hurl their all-American bulk into handbrake turns to negotiate corners. When a gaggle of squad cars with sirens blazing close in on a fleeing perp all at once, there are times when The Precinct reminds me more of the original Driver than the old 2D GTA games. (The original Driver as viewed from a low-flying drone, that is.)

More like the early Driver games than it is the original GTA?

Edit: wait why is it getting such low reviews across the board? What's the catch other than the 30fps on consoles?

It is a little weird. I've read a 6/10 and 7/10 review and neither of them said much that was negative and made the game sound pretty awesome actually.
I know it's down my alley so I'm getting it. All I've read is the console version is a little janky and the generated stuff gets boring towards the end of the game.
One said the aiming wasn't great. I'd argue the aiming is crap in GTA too. ha!
 
This sounds fucking AWESOME

The Precinct places a clear focus on following correct procedure, and you'll earn fewer experience points if you make errors or stray from the rules. This will mean levelling up delays and slower access to the upgrade trees if you go rogue and accost people before checking their ID, attack civilians, use inappropriate force on perps, or issue bogus parking tickets. You won't lose XP from your previously banked total, but being a bad cop will wipe out your daily gains. Most of the upgrades are fairly typical – resilience to attacks, greater ammo capacity, and the like – but naturally it pays to have as many as you can when you find yourself in a shootout. The abilities to call in heavy-duty riot vans and roadblocks are definitely useful in helping end pursuits, too.

:D:D:D

Closest we're gonna get to a modern day Police Quest/LA Noire for now
