Sleeping Dogs [formerly True Crime: Hong Kong]

YouTube video

First True Crime took place in LA, the second one took place in NY, and now the third one is taking place in Hong Kong. Now that I think about it, it would explain why previous TC games had so many Asian criminals.

Game will be on the PS3 and 360.

Looks more better than NY which sucked ass.

Only played LA and did'nt bother with New york.

They weren't the most spectacular games ever, but they were fun to play.

LA was decent enough, while NY sucked. If this one continues that trend...

Well the game has been saved thanks to Square-Enix

Square Enix, when they want to, can make some damn good games imo. Or at least publish them.

Agreed. And they already made a pretty good sand box game with Just Cause 2. it wasn't the greatest thing ever, but it was fun to play. kinda like 007 meets Saint's Row. I'm just happy the game wasn't scrapped. I enjoyed the first one way back and the second one was decent.

I loved True Crimes New York. A buggy but MASSIVELY underrated game.
And it still exists in my top games of all time.

Sandbox games are better when you're playing the cop.

I'm stoked that Square brought the rights. Bring on the sandbox goodcop/badcop martial artist/shooter awesomeness.

Its now been renamed.........."Sleeping Dogs"

Live action trailer bleh! Still hoping for the best.

If they're gonna spend that much money on a trailer, it better not suck.

Until I see gameplay I'm not really bothered tbh.

I saw some gameplay looks ok. Nothing special imo

Now for some gameplay footage

YouTube video

The Dragon Head guy is the blind old man from Balls of Fury. I love his voice.

And also Lo Pan from Little China.

There are some interviews that show some more direct gameplay.

So far my impressions are story seems good and cool, but gameplay seems just alright, not bad but not really good.
