Huzaifah from eXputer: "Sleeping Dogs from the early 2010s is one of the best open-world games out there but in dire need of a resurgence."
You say "yet" as if it's even possible anymore. United Front Games is gone, along with anyone that made this game what it is
That’s what happens when games sell poorly. And I’ve seen people wonder why people cry when a game sells badly… this is your answer.
Majority of the time it's true but if a company/publisher is big (in terms of money), they can take a hit or 2. e.g. I am not worried about Rebirth sales as Square will make Remake 3 anyway but if FF 17 doesn't sell then Square might need to look for alternative. <-- my humble opinion
Oh okay, Activision owned True Crime, but when that didn’t sell as intended it was canceled. Six months later Square Enix bought the rights and changed the title to Sleeping Dogs.*
*As per Wikipedia
Sleeping Dogs was a sleeper hit back then. It was fantastic. It actually still is. Would love a sequel to this, or at least a revive of True Crime series.
The past few years have seen some excellent open-world titles on top of the existing classics. Here are some of the very best that you should play.
watching the video is better then going through 31 pages of gamingbolt.
Do they explain in the video why there are two numbers 3? Starfield and Tears of the Kingdom?
GF365: "Here are eight games that need sequels. These games are ones that players would love to experience another time, bigger and better."
Bloodborne is a game I still restart and play every few months. I would welcome just a re release in 60fps with a visual upgrade. It's a perfect game. If I was king for a day I would include the randomizer mods because then it would be a kind of rogue like and I could play it forever.
Meh still waiting for my first game of 2012 lol.
2011 - Deus Ex: Human Revolution
2010 - Mafia 2
2009 - Batman Arkham Asylum
2008 - Tales of Vesperia
2007 - Bioshock
2006 - Saints Row
Since the beginning of this generation, there was at least one worthy game released in August and it some cases it was even made a serious GOTY contender - it was always the month that signaled the end of the dry summer period at retail (usually starting at around E3 every year).
And between Darksiders 2 and Sleeping Dogs - I'm pretty sure that at least one of these will make August 2012 worthwhile as well.
no sound shapes o_O
I'm going to take a risk and pre order sleeping dogs from amazon. I hope it will blow me away like deus ex hr did.
