Sleeping Dogs 101 trailer - RDR style

That setting and storyline is such well trotted ground in the entertainment medium... and this does little to differentiate itself.


not really trotted in video games. hong kong isn't a prominent setting in mainstream games at all. and having it open world is great, very refreshing from architecture and stuff of other open world games. as for story, playing an undercover guy in a crime gang and (its looks like it anyways) being able to eventually choose one side hasn't been done yet if i recall correct.
 
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.

It's a two team company. The ModNation Racers team is developing Little Big Planet Karting. Sleeping Dogs team has only developed Sleeping Dogs.
 
i'm watching the new 10min gamespot gameplay and i gotta say it looks promising. the environments look really nice.

and those of you wanting language authenticity with cantonese and such, its in there.
 
PLease someone explained why they just gave up on this game and Square picked it up? Problems with development or feeling that the game wasnt good enough? I can't believe it will be this good and THQ just dropped it mid build...

I remember it was cited that Activision felt that the game just wasn't maketable enough to be a franchise they could exploit with tons of sequels every year.
 
Completely oblivious to this game until I entered the E3 banner thread now I'm hyped!

Hmm its still $35 on Greenmangaming or $60 for 360 on amazon. Anyone know if there will by pc controller support?
 
Don't know why this game hasn't had an OT yet. It looks freaking amazing. I've been excited since it was still known and TC.

Because OTs go up a week before release?

I will buy this just because it takes place in HK. I wonder if there will be a Cantonese audio dub. Lol.
 
Oh awesome canadian devs.

They should make the protagonist White for the American release. They could change the story so that he was was left by his parents when the British pulled out. Raised by Missionaries the only way he could earn the respect of the people was to become tougher than they were. Eventually, the Triad boss' daughter falls in love with him.

It should be Obama.

Obama: The true story.


Get a white Obama skin if you preorder at Gamestop!

joke post right? right, i'm onto you! o_o

on that note though i really do love the uniqueness of the setting and characters, one of the big reasons i'm gonna get this game :D
 
Just saw the latest trailer, looking more and more polished.
I am very excited about the setting because I have always enjoyed the old HK gangster flicks from the 90s or even just Infernal Affairs... which this is sort of like, as you play an undercover cop. I preordered this at Best Buy just now for a super decent price (BB Canada online has this for $49.99 now + you get 800 reward zone points).
 
I really hope there's a Canto dub for this, as impossibly narrow and niche that might be. lol

That would be awesome, though I am afraid the Cantonese would be horrible with a crappy accent from a non-native speaker (ie. America-born Chinese who just isn't that good in speaking the dialect). I recall in the earlier videos I saw of the gameplay, the thugs you were fighting would spew out some swears or phrases which sounded slightly off to me because there was some weird accent to it.

Yeah, that's true. But I'd deal with that since having an HK cast would be impossible (and basically make it the Chinese version of the Yakuza games. lol)
 
Trailer looked awesome. Sounds like the game needs some polish, though. It's gotta be very difficult to get a game like this right, but if they do....

Nice to see it was developed in Vancouver. Don't shame me, United Front.
