8bitfix: E3 2012 Hands-On Impressions: Sleeping Dogs

The developers of Modnation Racers went in a different direction and took a shot at the sandbox GTA market with Sleeping Dogs. Everything about this game is taken from multiple sandbox games and has a mix of elements of gameplay. So what is the deal with Sleeping Dogs, it was formerly known as True Crime: Hong Kong and was thought to be cancelled at one point. Sleeping Dogs feels really right as a new entry in the sandbox titles. You go to a point to start a mission and complete and move on to the next.

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_Brazil60d ago

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

isarai59d 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.

solideagle59d 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?

DaReapa59d ago

No. Square Enix owns the IP.

Abnor_Mal59d 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.

Do they explain in the video why there are two numbers 3? Starfield and Tears of the Kingdom?

It's always refreshing to see games embracing the streaming community.

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.

gleepot405d ago

Sure, ill take a sequel to all of these.
