Sleeping Dogs 101 trailer - RDR style

this game is looking better and better every time i see it. this latest video has almost sealed the deal. it's not going to take much to make this a day one perch for me.
 
I know it's SP only, but I'd really like to see a co-op mode with the fighting system. Imagine all the brutal combos that could be done with a buddy.
 
Wow this looks pretty good. I knew it existed, but watching that it still feels like it came out of nowhere.
 
Bummer, AC2 with Italian dub and Metro 2033 in Russian sounded great, wish you could do that for every games.

English dub always seem off for a game set in another country.

I don't have a problem with them speaking English (pretty much everyone in Hong Kong speaks English anyway), it's the American accents that bug me.
 
All I ask is the main character scream out at some point "Oh shit! It's dim sum time!"

I never got tired of hearing that in the original True Crimes
 
my god that was an amazing trailer :)

it just looks like the type of open world game I would make if i had unlimited resources. as someone has already said - it takes the best bits from all the other open world games and gives it a hong kong setting... the only disappointing thing is no cantonese track, obviously an executive decision... i hope they really flesh out all those ideas like face points and neighbourhoods you take over and such... im so there for 17/8/2012!!!
 
Not profitable + milkable

Games looks good. Might not be a GOTY contender but it looks really fun.

it wont be a GOTY contender but thats because mainstream sites won't give it the hype it deserves.

just like just cause 2 and crackdown - games GAF loved but hardly any GOTY mentions - just the usual marios, and portals, and zeldas, GTAs, MGS because i dont know its just easier to get clicks?
 
well, i was one of the few who thought this looked good even back when it was still known as True Crimes, but this trailer looked quite amazing for an open world game.

Do we have an idea how large the map is ?
 
I haven't really been following this game at all but the trailer looks great, might have to pick this one up.

Hope the PC port is good.
 
I'm a little interested.. but how is the developer's other work?

Edit: I see it's just ModNation Racers.. I'll probably wait for some impressions and then a price drop.

They did ModNation Racers. Supposedly they have a lot of people from other open-world devs now, though (like Rockstar Vancouver and Volition).

Why does it say RDR style in the thread title?
The style of the narration and the breakdown of the various gameplay systems is pretty reminiscent of the Design & Tech videos Rockstar's been doing for their last couple games, starting with Red Dead. Might be referencing that.
 
That was awesome! I've been intrigued for a good while now, and the trailer was really awesome. Hong Kong's city lights are gleaming! I love the hand-to-hand combat, and the brutality involved with the environmental finishers. Is it wrong to be excited about character customization?!

I'm HYPED! Lovelovelove open worlds, and I like this game's style!
 
Wonder if that is the official/final box art at the end of the video, it was amazing. Though knowing the usual nonsense we probably wouldn't get it here in the states. It'd probably be an ingame version of the main character standing in front of a car or something stupid.

Awesome screens! I really hope we've got options for great tattoo customization- it's something I wish more games would allow for. The cuts look painful!
 
Now that is how you try and sell an unknown IP. JUST SHOW THE GAME AND TALK ABOUT ITS FEATURES. Later for all this live action BS.

Hell, I think this is a great way to showcase any IP, new or not. Prerendered CG and live action trailers do nothing for me; I don't even bother watching them anymore.

Sleeping Dogs looks like it could be really fun. I'd love to see this turn out great and sell well - not just for United Front's sake, but also for Square Enix to be rewarded for taking a risk here.
 
Pretty damn impressive. Funny how a once-cancelled game by the creators of ModNation Racers can be comparable to Rockstar's $100 million budget games. Hopefully it turns out as good as it looks.
 
This is one of those meat and potatoes games of the generation. No big name or gimmick behind it, but just a very well made game that looks superb.
 
oh man this is amazing! if it runs well i think i'll buy at full price, the devs really deserve it and good sales promotes more ventures of this sort.

it looks like what Saints Row 3 could've been. i like the yakuza influence of using random objects and the max payne slo mo influence.

the part where he burns a guy's face on a stove-top? absolutely fantastic! :P

Looks great. Kinda wished the characters spoke Cantonese with subtitles. Love the setting, but I get pulled out a little bit when characters are speaking English.

i think i can let the language thing slide seeing as how much content is stuffed into this game :)

is that a fucking fish!?

yup, i'll buy it :D :D
 
If I hit a guy from right to left with a beer bottle. Why does he fly 10-15 feet straight backwards?

Should've used Euphoria.

I don't think that's true. If a site gave Just Cause 2 GOTY it would get a shit ton of clicks from fanboys complaining a game like that got GOTY over their Uncharteds or Marios. And I don't mean to be hatin' but do you honestly think JC2 and/or Crackdown are better than Portal and/or Mario Galaxy?
 
Looks like a very well made game, but it personally doesn't interest me. That setting and storyline is such well trotted ground in the entertainment medium... and this does little to differentiate itself.
 
This is the boxart.

Cool boxart. I wonder if it will be different across regions.

Anyway, multiplayer would be cool, but is not needed, because there is so much to do in this game. However, I would have love to street race or play xiangqi(or whatever that board game was) against others worldwide.
