Some foreign paper magazines received in advance of review-The print version of Sleeping Dogs and already beset pronounce its verdict based on their numbers in August, only to have been overshadowed by the commotion around the GTA 5 and Gamescomu. At least if we believe a leaflet rozdistribuoval directly to the publisher of Square Enix use for promotional purposes. According to the Italian edition of Official PlayStation Magazine (85%) is the best open world game in 2012, although this victory is a bit challenged by the fact that they do not enjoy this too. Their British counterparts (90%) again turned to comparisons to the black horse of the year to be "brilliantly brutal." OXM UK advocate fun and every bit as well as U.S. mag EGM gave devítkovou mark. In addition, early reviews of Sleeping Dogs found in Game Informer and other journals.

[The_Inquisitor]

All "official" magazines minus EGM. Would prefer to see some other reviews first.

[Wario64]

They need to spell check "mag"

[VictoriousB13]

Sleeper hit of the year then?

[Coconut]

How many other open world games have been released in 2012 so far?

[Canis lupus]

Good scores, I hope it doesn't get overshadowed by GTA5.

[Sethos]

It'll be a cold day in hell before I trust reviews.

[Easy_D]

All "official" magazines minus EGM. Would prefer to see some other reviews first.

But the game isn't exclusive to any platform?

[Bumhead]

Wait, when is this out? Seems early for reviews?

[Riggs]

Getting hyped man!!! Way to late on this but still hyped!!! Hope pc version is not shit , and has 360 pad support.

[GeoramA]

I was already down for this day 1. The game looks ridiculously awesome.

[Gravijah]

plz be good

[Meisadragon]

But the game isn't exclusive to any platform?

Early reviews are never to be trusted exclusive or not.

[Wuthering_Heights]

All "official" magazines minus EGM. Would prefer to see some other reviews first.

Agreed.

I don't trust reviews of multiplatform games in platform exclusive magazines.

Too biased.

[Sissel]

Didn't even know this game had a date.

[SJRB]

"Best open-world game of 2012", what?

That's a mighty bold statement to make.

[Kusagari]

What does this mean? They don't like open world games, but called it the best open world game of 2012?

[gdt]

I'm not all that trusting of reviews these days, but its still nice to hear.

[Sethos]

What does this mean? They don't like open world games, but called it the best open world game of 2012?

Least smelliest turd concept?

[Mik_Pad]

Yeah really early it releases 8/14 I think.

[Nibel]

Reviews :lol
But I have faith in this game. Need some beat'em'up x shooting action after seeing The Raid.

[MRORANGE]

Wait, when is this out? Seems early for reviews?

in 26 days.

OT is gonna be awesome:

"Best open-world game of 2012", what? That's a mighty bold statement to make.

Well, neither Just Cause 2 or Saints Row The Third were released this year.

[GotchaForce]

Read on the other thread that the design lead for the game is the same as Bully and the team is made up of ex R*, Volition and Black Box members.

[Stumpokapow]

sleeping dogs is a "black horse" is it?


i think they mean dark horse

[Keyser Soze]

Early Driv3r Review 9.0

It's been a pretty light year for those up until now. The most high profile one before Sleeping Dogs was, what, Amazing Spider-Man? And Prototype 2 before then? Not exactly the tallest hurdles to clear.

[Dabanton]

Will this have a demo?

[saladine1]

in 26 days. OT is gonna be awesome:

Are you using that in the OT?
Fucking awesome!

Can't wait

[AndrewDean84xX]

Is that image moving or are my eyes playing a trick on me?


nvm: was like 2 fps, reloaded the page and its moving now.

[Zimbardo]

game looks good ...very cool looking fighting system, too.

will get pc version sometime down the road ...in the not too distant future.

[Keyser Soze]

Will this have a demo?

Not if it is actually bad

[THE NO LIFE KING]

I'm a big supporter of this game and I still don't trust the magazine reviews, lol.

[Anteater]

fun in every way!

sounds like it could be fun, want to give this a try.

[ii Stryker]

Releases same day as Darksiders 2... :(

Couldn't get into the True Crime games though. The be a cop or be a criminal hook was too contradicting a mechanic for me and it felt like a poor mans GTA or Saints Row.

The trailers and all the publicity shown thus far do make it look cool and interesting though. Still not enough reviews to get a clearer consensus however.

[Bog]

And to think I've enjoyed games that were fun in only a few different ways. This one's bound to blow my socks off!

[Muffdraul]

"Best open-world game of 2012", what?

Further confirmation of GTA V in 2013 (as if we needed further confirmation)

I pre-ordered Sleeping Dogs immediately after the first time I saw game play footage (posted on youtube as "omg leaked gtav footage!!" of course) but I don't expect it to be *that* good.

Oh no...nonononononononono

Guess I'll be juggling two games then.

We need to get people to know that this was a new I.P that Activision forced the True Crime name onto, originally called Black Lotus. I think I'm gonna get Darksiders 2 on the Wii U. Save up by then =p

[double jump]

this is amazing. how in the heck.....

[SenEXunk]

I got my eye on this game and it's looking damn good.

[Soroc]

This game is really intriguing. Looks we polished from the videos I've watched. Happy to see a PC version is being made.

Really looking forward to reading more impressions on this game.

To my understanding the only thing that changed when Activision dropped them and SquareEnix picked it up was the name of the game. The story and mechanics are still the same as the true crime games.

Welp with the GMG sale last month I'm set on this being my choice over Darksiders 2. Loved the true crime games and saints. Cant wait!

[Lambtron]

And The Last Story. I have a Buy 2 Get 1 Free coupon for Best Buy. Methinks I know when it will be used...

[Soroc]

Didn't someone mention pre-ordering this on GMG for like 36 bucks? I'm currently seeing it for 45 right now on there :(

[Mr. Sam]

That article is really weirdly written. "Black horse", "don't enjoy this too", huh?

Edit: Oh, I see! It's translated. Never mind.

[Ridley327]

They had a coupon a few weeks ago that dropped it that low. I don't think they have anything like that going right now.
