Sleeping Dogs Will Get An Unofficial Multiplayer Mode Thanks To Modders, First Test Footage Revealed

DSOGaming writes: "here is no denying that Sleeping Dogs is a great game.Yes, it had its issues but overall, it was a great title that lacked only one thing; a multiplayer mode. Well, just like with Just Cause 2, the modding community comes to the rescue and is currently working on a mod that will add a multiplayer mode to United Front Games' open-world title."

Why is it that modders always do cooler things than the actual developers...? -_-

zeal0us4433d ago

Modders aren't constraint by time or a budget, could be a factor. Not mention no overload(s) telling them what they are allowed/not allowed to do with(or in) the game.

DarkBlood4433d ago

your last sentence pretty much sums it up

3-4-54433d ago

Basically they are in complete control, and when you give control to somebody who actually knows what they are doing you get good games.

The problem is the industry gets these "money" guys to come in and run it like a different type of business and the gaming industry just won't tolerate it for too long.

IK IR Y IP T4433d ago

its easy they love the game and love to game...

Somebody4433d ago

I've seen the total mayhem (in a good way) modders did with Just Cause 2 so I can't wait for Sleeping Dog's.

The modding community are amazing. This is one of the many things i love about pc gaming.

Shang-Chi Star Simu Liu Wants to Develop Sleeping Dogs Sequel and Movie

Shang-Chi star Simu Liu is working to revive the Sleeping Dogs movie and hopes its success could lead to a long-awaited Sleeping Dogs sequel.

ZeekQuattro121d ago

Please do. One of my favorite games from that gen. A man who never eats pork bun is never a whole man!

Inverno121d ago

Square has their own GTA and they haven't bothered making a sequel. Yet they're wasting money on nfts and live service crap.

Inverno121d ago

Gotta be more specific. Did it sell well to Square and their unrealistic expectations? Probably not. Did it sell well and garnered enough praise to deserve a sequel? Yes. They also bought the rights from Acti when it was True Crime so they must've thought it was worth it at the time so idk why they've let the IP die out.

ZeekQuattro121d ago

According to Square Sleeping Dogs, Hitman Absolution and even Tomb Raider Reboot bombed on varying levels. They all dropped around the same time. All sold well enough but Square and it's lofty expectations got in the way. I remember Square was mumbling that TR sold 3 million + in a month.

I’d be down if he doesn’t shove his ideals in it.

AndrewM121d ago

As long as the game fits YOUR ideals eh? Whatever happened to artists creating what artists want...

CrimsonWing69121d ago

Hey, they can create whatever they want. I literally said “I’d” be down if he doesn’t shove his ideals in it.

Whatever happened to consumers being allowed to voice what they want in a discussion forum, eh…?

What a game Sleeping Dogs is.

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_Brazil412d ago

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

isarai412d 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

CrimsonWing69412d ago

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.

solideagle412d 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

Abnor_Mal412d ago

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

DaReapa411d ago

No. Square Enix owns the IP.

Abnor_Mal411d 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

boing1411d ago (Edited 411d ago )

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.

watching the video is better then going through 31 pages of gamingbolt.

LG_Fox_Brazil558d ago

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

xeniate553d ago

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