True Crime is a series of open world action-adventure video games told from the perspective of law enforcement. There are two games in the series, True Crime: Streets of LA, released in 2003, and True Crime: New York City, released in 2005. - Hry
I still play Streets of LA from time to time since it's backwards compatible.
True Crime NYC's an underappreciated gem imo. I'd love a remaster.
I love Sleeping Dogs, but it had a different style so I'm glad the name was changed.
On Xbox?
@@Ivebeenwaitingforthis1 The 360 yeah
So true and sleeping dogs took gta and nycs mechanics and made it am awesome game.i just wish that you could arrest people on that game instead of having the cops doing it for you from your TV camera
NYC was an amazing game way ahead of its time, great story plot twist wild missions like getting ditched in an insane asylum, being shot at by a mini gun list goes on
@@TimDavisThaTycoon there’s the one dlc where your still wei but you play as a foot cop and you can arrest and taser people it’s cool asl if you’ve never tried it
Great retrospective!
I remember this series growing up, the combat was fun and story was engaging.
Sleeping Dog is a great game that I wish got the sequel it deserved, both series should eventually return, if possible, and fill the void of open world crime games.
Thank you for showing love to this series.
I still have both these games I loved them, very underrated series and sleeping dogs is one of my all-time favorite games
They gave up on this franchise too quit it woulda been neck & neck to GTA to this day
Like Watch Dogs
Yeah, probably because every open world sandbox game is always compared to GTA which infuriates me. I love GTA, but I also liked the Driver games, True Crime, Saints Row, etc.
What happened to 25 to life ? Narc ? These type of games need to come back..im sooo pissed off with the gaming industry
Igh.. hell with narc.. I remember beating the hell out an Xbox because of that game.. I ripped the tray out and everything.. still got the Xbox an it still works.. damn things almost 30 had been beat to death an still kicking.. I’ve had plenty of consoles since but none as strong as that old P.O.S.. most durable console ever made.. you just gotta slap mine from time to time to get the tray to move.. but you could just pull it all the way out with your fingers if it doesn’t come out itself.
Really sucks that the series is dead
i freaking love both of the games True Crime: New York City being my favorite in the series
I also love Sleeping Dogs too
Man can you imagine if sleeping dogs crossover with true crime like Wei Shen meeting Nick Kang...dude that would freaking awesome man
*sigh* hopefully one day in the future the series comes back....hopefully
they need to bring True Crime NY back. that shit was GANGSTER, but also dope how you were a cop. This was a great video and you deserve more views for this. Keep at it tho, retrospectives and gaming docs are hot on youtube now, you could easily blow up in a few videos
I agree this game was so badass! Thank you so much for the kind words I’m actually working on a new video and hoping to be more consistent in the future! Thanks again for watching (:
@@expiredyouth8205 yes in TCLA you were vigilante cop, in NY you were gangster vigilante cop
Well done retrospective. Thanks.
I bought both games 3 times (once for each console - PS2, Xbox and GameCube)
Which version did you like better in both games and what system did awesome in each of both those games?
@@solidmage1720 I own every single version now of both games (PS2, Xbox and GameCube) and I'd say the GameCube versions are my go to, especially for Streets of LA cus that's the version I played first.
@@oldandnewgamer The game cube version of Streets Of LA is the one I played first as well, and Xbox version second. And NYC on PS2 first after Streets Of LA.
I remember playing true crime I’ve played both but played NY way more and just remember going into random restaurants and destroying everything and just driving around I was very young playing both games but I didn’t know it was backwards compatible that’s awesome
True Crime NYC damn I played the shit out of that game still have it. I think my favorite part about that game other than the music was the fact that you could choose different fighting styles and the moves were actually pretty authentic with what style they corresponded with.
13:55 Those are some very nice shoes, I was able to find a pair of those that someone is selling for $99 but I'm a size 10 but man I sure would want to get my hands on those!
Thanks so much for this video! Well researched and presented.
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@expiredyouth8205 Indeed! I'm putting together a project about video games that were featured on the Sopranos, so this was very helpful.
Glad it could help out! I need to get started on another project as well
YOU GUYS WANT A NEW VIDEO?
Was just refreshing to do the right thing as a cop in games
they need to remaster the game asap
Square enix should sell the IP to another game publisher
I agree! This series needs another addition desperately especially since no updates on another grand theft auto game.
*who owns the rights to True Crime???? last I heard, Activision dropped the trademark so is it now owned by Luxoflux??? Anyway, a remake is cool but we need a modern day True Crime that takes place in Harlem and Las Vegas 👌 give us a customizable protagonist and let us get trained by Marcus in Harlem 😍 solve a big murder then fly us out to Vegas to do some human trafficking investigations with Nick Kang* 👍
True crime: new york city was the better game. It was alot better than what it was rated at the time. The problem with it was
1. Bugs
2. Storyline was too short
3. Driving was difficult at higher speeds and certain vehicles
4. Limited RPG elements(vs. GTA San Andreas)
5. No girlfriends
6. No body armor(vs. GTA SA)
