For most of everyone who played Sleeping Dogs it's not hard to see why people fell in love with it, from the sparkling night life to the dynamic fighting mechanics, the game managed to carve out its own unique take on the open-world genre without becoming too much of a standard GTA clone or getting lost in its own image like Saints Row.
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.
Watchdogs!!!!
I didn't like the game at all. The driving sucked, the camera in the game was awful, the graphics sucked. I don't get the acclaim this game gets.
I really really love this game, and I'm very happy to hear the Sleeping Dog 2 development is on going..
Sleeping Dogs = A great successor of True Crime: Streets of LA and a great open-world game. Here is why:
1) Great melee combat system.
2) Good and tight driving controls.
3) Authentic Cantonese dialogue as well as good English.
4) Good and intriguing story.
5) Great characters, especially Wei Shen.
SD is a fun open world game while a little short. it kinda reminded me of double dragon.
