Snoop Dogg's Fear & Respect Gets None
As the Monty Python boys would say, our chief weapons are fear. Fear and surprise. And a ruthless efficiency... But as for "Fear & Respect," well that just got canceled.
As reported by Euro Gamer, Midway has shelved the gangsta game being developed with Snoop Dogg and director John Singleton.
Billed as an "innovative action adventure game (based in) the intense, urban environment of South Central LA." Fear & Respect looked like another dreary San Andreas rip-off anyway. Midway CEO David Zucker apparently agreed.
"We are still working with Snoop and John Singleton to do a game, but the actual game Fear & Respect is canceled. I think we're at a juncture in the video game business. Everyone's talking about it. How many times are you going to give me the 16th iteration of... I'm not even going to talk about the other products."
Fo' shizzle, Zuck-izzle.
By the way, had it launched, Fear & Respect was targeted for protests by the Washington, D.C.-based Peaceoholics, a grass-roots anti-violence group. Peaceoholics leader Ronald Moten said last year, "We're going to go after Singleton even harder (than San Andreas). He's been sucked into this thing where money is more important than the welfare of his brothers."
