How the Next Generation Will Make Game Environments More Realistic

OnlySP: When I play a game, I always enjoy little touches the designers put into the game’s environment. Sleeping Dogs is one of my favourite games for doing things that helped make the game feel alive. When it rains, the ground looks wet and lights shimmer and reflect off the ground. Driving at night is also a treat as the neon and bright lights hit off your car and light up the roof as you drive on through Honk Kong at night. Check out this video below that perfectly illustrates how gorgeous Sleeping Dogs looks when you combine bright lights, fast cars and heavy downpours.

in my opinion the cars should at least show signs of getting wet in the rain as well as the environment because the last time I checked my car gets wet when it is raining out.

I really hope we see the return of physics in the environments even in newer games it seems like there are less than some games from the 6th gen or Maybe i just like shooting out lights too much O.o

It's A Crime That There's No Sleeping Dogs 2 Yet

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."

LG_Fox_Brazil3d ago

I agree, I consider the first one a cult classic already

isarai3d ago

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.

solideagle3d ago

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

Doesn’t Microsoft own the IP now since they acquired Activision?

DaReapa2d ago

No. Square Enix owns the IP.

Abnor_Mal2d ago

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.

PoE: Deadfire, Unless you have a or PS5 or an SSD don't bother, loading times are insane. A minute and a half to go into a room to investigate a desk in an inn and then an additional 1 1/2 minutes to leave the room and then load to leave the inn???

And they never fixed it.
