Sleeping Dogs [formerly True Crime: Hong Kong]

Holy crap, I forgot about Lo Pan. He was so young in that.

Gameplay looks cool. I'm hoping handcuffing is an option though instead of brutally murdering everyone you come by.

What fun is a sandbox game if you can't murder everyone in it? lol. nah, I agree. Not much of a cop if you kill everyone. lol

You're undercover, and I think your superiors might get super pissed off if you kill everyone they want apprehended. Should be similar enough to True Crime LA and New York in that you can kill or capture if you want.

Could the mods rename the title of this thread

and also

The more I see of this game the more it seems to deter from what I loved of True Crimes New York.

Stealthily taking photos of crime deals looks interesting though. As well as the car chase battles.

I just hope the game allows you to wander the streets as you wish arresting goons as you come across them. But considering the undercover gig I doubt that would be possible considering you will blow your cover. A shame. Then again this isn't a True Crimes game anymore.

A surprisingly negative review. I thought this looked really good from the trailers.

Someone should probably rename the thread.

Not really a bad review, Joe just uses review scale like it ment to be used. The game is decent enough just with some work it can be good.

Thread name can be changed for Sleeping Dogs but no one wants to do the same for Playstation All-Stars? O_o

I've also read that the scale of the city isn't as big as something like GTA...but its just the right size.

Yeah if True Crimes New York could recreate an actual island of Manhattan.

Then at least a recreating of an aspect of Hong Kong was to be expected.
With the graphics shown the whole of Hong Kong would've been impossible.
Obviously.

So this game is no more than GTA with enhanced graphics in an Asian setting.

Could still work but I'm already lost as an interested party. This is just a nail in the coffin in one of my fav glitchy series.

I'll still give it a try after my studies though I'm not seeing it being more than GTA meets InFamous meets Just Cause.

Don't know where you got the Just Cause part from it definitely hasn't got that much freedom from what i've gathered

and it also sets itself apart from the GTA games too.

It has things that GTA doesnt, like bullet-time and an enhanced hand to hand combat system. plus, context-sensitive kills.

The Just Cause aspect of my drunken rant came from the jumping on cars thing.

Has anyone played this game yet? Any personal opinions?

The MA aspects do look really cool.
