Recently finished my second playthrough of Sleeping Dogs

Doesn't this run kinda crappy on PS5? Could've sworn it had issues...

I know on the PS4 Pro it definitely had problems

It's on the naughty list because it can crash when you initially load it. By being on the naughty list it won't show up if you go to PSN on a PS5 for instance.

The game is otherwise fine albeit 30 fps.

Sadly the game is locked at 30 fps. Seemingly, forever.

Xbox version is 1080p/60fps on both Series consoles.

And yes, fucking awesome game. The complete edition is also often on sale for as low as $5, includes all the DLC content they put out.'

Some of the DLC content is also pretty good.

This is probably my favorite "GTA Clone".

Amazing game, it's a shame a sequel was never green light.

But a movie actually is in the making

That's a shame. I replayed the Definitive Edition on PS4 years back, but I don't remember it crashing massively.
It didn't, but it certainly had performance issues at launch. I can begrudgingly accept 30fps (less now when I have an OLED TV, but back then I had an LCD), but the framerate could absolutely tank while driving around. Or just on random occasions.

People always fail to mention that United Front was full of ex Rockstar North guys, namely dudes that worked on Bully and The Warriors. There's a reason why the combat is so similar. Can't stand when people say the combat is like the Arkham games. No fucking way man. It's totally a refined system that was brought over from those two older games.

You won't hear me saying it's like Arham games, leave that to reviewers, lol. But ex Rockstar North guys? The more you know because I didn't know that. Current Rockstar should take a look at that for melee combat inspiration.
 
Also fucking cool are how some legendary outfits actually give you new moves. Like one particular outfit has drunken style combat moves, but you also have a Wukong outfit and a special move has you using the stick.

Auto HDR is the shit in this game too. I just tested it in SDR and wow what a difference. It looks flat, boring compared to auto HDR. Street lights shine super brightly and it just pops a whole lot more, in a really good way.

Playing the Year of the Snake DLC now.
 
So after talking with Meta AI and asking it if Sleeping Dogs 2 was ever in real development I found out that it was indeed in pre-production. It would have a larger world set outside of Hong Kong, odd.

And a significant co-op focus and global online crime system that would track player activity.

If they ever do decide to give it another shot, whatever studio it may be too, please just make a normal singleplayer game.

I've watched some videos on this, heard the same thing. There was something about a crime tracking map, and play connectivity. Honestly, I would have just preferred a simple single-player sequel.

I bet this was SE wanting to have them do this. Can never know for sure though.

There are some cool outfits from other published games too

Deus Ex, Hitman, Just Cause

I did about 80% on PS3, then finished a full play through about 2 months ago at 1440p at 120fps+. Excellent for fast pace driving and you can really crank the graphics up if you want. It's cool having max NPC density.

I enjoy it far more than modern GTA for multiple reasons, and it's a damn shame we haven't see more of it.
 
An all around awesome game, flashy combat and animations. I loved it. Highly recomended if you like open world gta type games. I played it on 360, I hope def edition is even better.
 
It's better than some GTAs, imho. And it's the best fucking Jackie Chan Police Story game that we'll probably ever get.

Sorry, I had to:

DE is awesome because thanks to Series features such as FPS Boost and Auto HDR it's 60fps and really enhances the visual experience too. Street lights are dim with SDR and bright and awesome with auto HDR.
