I remember reading about this game months ago, and how it was scheduled to be released sometime in '04. Heck, they even had a name for it, "Urban Justice".
I've been a fan of the "Police Quest" games since SWAT 2, and was really looking forward to this one.
Anyone know what happened to it? Has it be delayed/cancelled? Or is there still some hope?
it's still in development I believe...I think I remember reading something about it
SWAT 4 Urban Justice is no longer. SWAT 4 is now in production as an entirely different game and should be released early 2005.
There are 5 screens i believe of the new version SWAT 4 circulating around the net, go fish on google for those
Have they switched the focus of the game now? Or did they just scrap the graphics engine or what?Quote:

The game is totally revamped. Urban Justice was more of an arcade type shoot-em up.
SWAT 4 is now a tactical fps, similar to SWAT 3 EE.

yeah SWAT 3 kicked ***, if you got a couple of ppl together and played LAN, and you went in and worked as a team and took down the bad guys. man i loved mirroring around the cornor to see if anybody was there. good times, good times.

Press release:
Vivendi Universal Games sets its sights on the latest edition of the popular SWAT franchise with the announcement of SWAT 4. Developed by Irrational Games, SWAT 4 allows players to take control of a squad of up to five police officers tasked with performing dangerous operations such as high-risk arrests, hostage rescue and counter-terrorism. As the unit's commander, players must follow authentic police tactics as they breach and clear a concrete jungle filled with armed felons and innocent bystanders alike. SWAT 4 is expected to ship in Q1 of 2005 and has not yet been rated by the ESRB.
"We are working collaboratively with Irrational Games on SWAT 4 to develop one of the best games in its genre," says Michael Pole, EVP, Worldwide Studios, Vivendi Universal Games. "SWAT 4 delivers a tactical first-person squad-based shooter experience that is a worthy successor to this hit franchise."
Featuring graphics courtesy of the Vengeance engine powered by Unreal, SWAT 4 delivers 16 authentic environments set in stunningly rendered locations representing a wide variety of operational environments. Realistic ballistics and Havoc defined object physics will further heighten the experience for the player by providing an added layer of atmospheric authenticity.
As a S.W.A.T. officer, players will have access to authentic assault gear including tactical mainstays such as the Colt M-4 carbine, the Benelli M4 Super 90 shotgun and Surefire tactical lights. However, as with their real-world counterparts officers in SWAT 4 have to hit hard and fast in order to take down the bad guys and keep the innocent out of harms way. SWAT 4 will also ship with three competitive multiplayer modes as well as a cooperative campaign mode.
