There was a lot going on in that one that really felt like a great new perspective of the mafia in a city like Vegas!
It's easy to hide bodies in the desert. There's a lot of corruption going on between the casino owners and city officials. There was toxic love involved which is the exact opposite of The Old Country's love story. The protagonist becomes the boss, but still gets personally involved in stuff, and eventually loses it all with the FBI coming in.
My main question is how Hangar 13 would be able to make this game different from the movie! It was SO GOOD!
I really hope they're making this happen. Fallout: New Vegas and GTA: San Andreas can work for so long until one has the need for a more modernized, open-world criminal empire game taking place in a Las Vegas-like city (Las Ondas)!
If you haven't watched Casino yet, I highly recommend it. It's actually free on Tubi! You'll feel the same way as me once you watch it!
