So, this week, for the second episode of Honesty Box I've turned my attention to Sleeping Dogs; Square Enix's much loved free-roam action RPG set in a fictional rendition of present day Hong Kong.
Expect more of the same in terms of what occurred in last week's episode but with the introduction of some choice game play footage. Topics discussed include the random variety of invisible walls, car doors, basic physics, self-loathing and carjacking like a gent...
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.
I think this sold well and a lot of my GTA-loving friends bought it. Asian crime is interesting, but something about the engine/graphics turned me off.
Really cool man, didn't know you could do that with the doors. Love that PS Plus had this game for free.
haha this is awesome! cant wait to see whats next!
For me, Sleeping Dogs is one of the biggest surprises of last year. Bring on the sequel!
