GeekParty's Tim Evans: "A ton of open world games have been released since Sleeping Dogs hit the shelves in 2012. Some of them, like Grand Theft Auto V and Saints Row IV, were very well received. But I haven’t even touched them. As far as I’m concerned, my sandbox thirst has been eternally quenched by Sleeping Dogs. So, whenever I feel like driving around and getting into street fights without getting arrested, I go back to this."
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.
While a man greatly enjoyed Sleeping Dogs and sees how some may prefer it. It's not necessarily objectively better though. The two games offer completely different experiences. Sleeping Dogs has more arcadey driving and a MUCH greater emphasis on hand to hand than gunplay. They both offer plenty to do but a man would say Sleeping Dogs is more focused on story and side missions than GTA which has a nice story but is more about open world mayhem.
To summarize, different strokes for different folks. A man loves both of them and will be getting the next gen versions of both.
Idk why but i couldnt get into sleeping dogs, as a matter of fact i cant get into most open world games, they bore the crap out of me unless they are rpgs and have sword and sorcery involved. I hate the shift towards emphasis on open world this generation its annoying. Some of my least memorable games are games like Assn Creed, Far Cry, etc....
This is a game I have owned for a good while, yet still haven't played it. Though I probably won't make the plunge onto PS4 since as I said, I already own it.
idiot...
