#VIN DIESEL WHEELMAN 2 MOVIE#
Unlike the movie of the same name, critics praised Escape from Butcher Bay for its engrossing first-person action and showered it with review scores in the 90th percentile. That game, also starring Diesel (who founded Tigon in 2002), was an unexpected hit on Xbox when it was released in 2004. Wheelman is being co-developed by Tigon, the same production studio that created The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay. "Is this possible? Could it be? Are you sure this game isn't made by someone other than Midway?" I ask myself. Playing the latest preview build of Wheelman to the very end-at will, even. The negative associations are all here, and from the sound of it, you'd be wise to keep this one well off your gaming radar.Īnd yet here I am. To make matters worse, it's based on a delayed movie by the same name staring Vin Diesel, and games based on movies are hardly a good thing. It's a Grand Theft Auto knock-off, which usually means you can't expect much. The game is being developed by the bankrupt Midway, which hasn't released an exciting game since Mortal Kombat II in 1993.

Nobody bats an eye at Vin Diesel's claim of coming all the way from Miami to join a local gang, and there is at least one billboard for a salsa festival.There is no way Wheelman will be good. Some of that might be explained by immigration, but it is weird to hear people complaining that gang violence is fueling (Catalan) nationalists while speaking in a perfect Mexican or Cuban accent. The NPCs speak English or Spanish from all over Spain and Latin America, and also look like it. Wheelman depicts downtown Barcelona, a place where a single bullet being fired would make national news, as a Gangsterland divided between three major "cartels" whose members routinely engage in gunfights with firepower that would be alarming even in the most violence-striken part of Mexico or Brazil. This is a quote of the page on the trope in tvtropes Some example are things like how the music tend to be very latinamerican(though to be fair that can be heard in spain too but still) and how many characters seem to be more latinamerican looking than spaniard looking, and even though there is a big diaspora of latinamerican inmigrants, the total of the population of spain considered of foreign origin is around 10% from what I read in sources, and half of that is from other european countryes so the idea of showing like half of the people looking so latinamerican is just silly and shows that trope is still aliveĪnother thing is that there is many cars that seem to be from the 70's-60's, even some used by the police, and honestly I barely see cars from the 80's on the street so yeah thats also a inacurate thing, specially being used by the police, wich also there is the mention that the region where barcelona is located, named Catalunya, has his own police force besides the general spanish police though thats not a big deal if they got wrong,but hose old cars do since if the developers visited the city they probably would have noticedĪnother thing to add is the fact that from what I have seem there is npcs speaking in the local catalan language, which makes the inacuracies more facepalming This videogame has the same trope that many other USA based media has that they seem to mix latinamerica and spain into one unique stuff, as you all probably know spain is in europe, this is more funny by the fact that the developer mentioned that they visited the real city of barcelona, so honestly I think this was done on purpose, in fact even the trash bin looks spot on like the ones on the city This may be of interest, I am from latinamerica currently living in spain so I want to say some stuff about the depiction of the country in the game
