Midway Games announced the development of Fear & Respect, an
action/adventure videogame based in the intense, urban environment of South Central Los
Angeles. The game is being developed in collaboration with writer/director John Singleton
(Boyz N the Hood, Baby Boy, 2 Fast 2 Furious). Fear & Respect is scheduled for release in
the fourth quarter of 2005 on the PlayStation 2 and the Xbox.
Fear & Respect is
planned as a cutting-edge third-person action game that will realistically depict life in a
South Central Los Angeles gang. You will step onto the streets fresh from prison as a
retired OG who is reluctantly brought back into the life. You will shoot and brawl your way
through multiple levels of gameplay, in an attempt to help your crew against the backdrop of
a sweltering South Central summer. On these streets, it's all about your rep, and only you
can decide if want your enemies to look at you with fear--or with respect.
More
details on Fear & Respect will be unveiled in early
2005.
