Fear & Respect

Fear & Respect was a cancelled PS3, Xbox 360, PS2, Xbox, and PC game from Edge of Reality. Snoop Dogg was involved into this True Crime kind of game.

Plot
Snoop Dogg plays Goldie, who is let out of prison and must make up for lost time. Fight with rival gangs to inspire fear and respect in them. This works as a karma metre; how you act shapes the universe.

Gameplay
The game is set in South Central L.A. in the summer. You must do drivebys and one-on-one fights to gain territory from rival gangs. Gun play was at the focus of conflict.

Development
John Singleton, director of Boyz n the Hood, was the director of the game. Things were progressing promisingly, until Midway hit a snag: in 2005 Midway suffered a net loss of $16m. Fear & Respect was moved to the next gen consoles (PS3, Xbox 360) for early 2006.

Cancellation
In March 2006, Fear & Respect was cancelled. The game was likely cancelled to improve Midway's balance sheet. Midway went defunct four years later in 2010.
