Engadget have received their new Xbox 360 elite console and have indulged in everyone's favourite practice, taking and posting pictures of the unboxing.
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.
Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle-earth II was an intriguing and unique RTS title, that sadly suffered in its console port.
Was just thinking about this game and wishing I had a way to revisit it. The way EA scrubs these titles from existence once their licensing runs out is horrid.
Indeed. The game can still be played online on PC.
Xbox 360 players, though? Bang outta luck.
Clive actor Ben Starr plays kiss, marry, kill with Final Fantasy characters, and decides to off Cid from Final Fantasy 12.
Ew VO actors and their cringe core. Fiverr voice actors could out perform this chump.
Looking sexy too me...

Agreed! its just a cool looking console but in black it just does something to make it look better than any console to date in my opinion.
if a transfer cable is included? What if you buy the Elite, with the intention of selling your Pro, and want to transfer your HD info? I know the cable is included with the 120 GB HD; will the include it with the Elite? Or better yet, sell it separately?
but it looks sweet. Look!! it even comes with HD cables..lol
Now all it needs is some of Sony's paint/wax job..HA
I'm gonna go check Costcos..
Far be it for me as a Microsoft fanboy to question giving money to the Overlords, but: WHY THE HECK DO YOU NEED A FULL ELITE CONSOLE IF YOU ALREADY HAVE A PRO!?
Heh.
And yes, for the insane people out there doing this, I do think there's a free cable progam online.
(Just buy the 120 and spraypaint the console or something...)
