This was Vegas.

Warner Bros have canned their upcoming sandboxer This Is Vegas after three years, and almost $50m, in development.  With the finished game rumoured to be at least eight months away, Warner Bros decided to pull the plug completely.

The game, originally one of Midway’s projects before they went under and it was picked up by WB who, with Vegas‘s production costs spiralling to at least a quarter of a million dollars per month, have decided that maybe another blaverage GTA clone probably won’t recoup enough of their outlay to bother pursuing it.

Warner Bros haven’t confirmed the story yet.  So if it’s wrong blame whoever it was we stole it from.
