Any news is good news, it means they haven't been shuttered which I was afraid of occurring after that MMO of sleeping dogs got shelved
 
Waking Cats

I'm in.

I'll temper my expectations. Sleeping Dogs 2 would be a dream come true, but I doubt that's the sort of thing that United Front announces on their personal Twitter. If it is SD related, maybe they're trying to make a sequel happen outside of Square Enix? I could see them announcing an acquisition of the 'Sleeping Dogs' IP, and a partnership with another publisher (Maybe Warner or Deep Silver?).

More likely, it's a mobile/F2P game announcement.

Sleeping Dogs 2 with an actual map of Hong Kong & Kowloon would be great... add some N.T & Islands too and I'm 100% all in.

Sleeping Dogs had some great melee combat. I'm surprised there haven't been any games that tried to copy it. I'll say it right now, the Arkham series would have been infinitely better if they aped the combat from Sleeping Dogs.

I'm also hoping for a Sleeping Dogs 2. To me, it's the only sandbox type of game I actually enjoy. Not a fan of GTA or the new Just Cause.

I'm all for something new as well though. Depending on what genre it'd be, of course.

If it's not Sleeping Dogs 2 I will retire from gaming.


The first game was SO good.

United Front Games.

You read me?

IT WAS SOOOO GOOD.

It was so good that I even platinumed it again on PS4 despite the shitty famerate.


But you know what?

It was SO good.

Sleeping Dogs 2 sure would be a nice surprise. A refinement on the combat system plus more enemy types would be refreshing.

Plus a story that makes more sense. I hated how almost nobody calls Wei out for being a mass murderer because he's a cop.

I am betting it's a port or remaster of some sort which they have done in the past. GDC was just a week ago and Deus Ex is launching tomorrow, and I doubt Square wants a big game of theirs announced on the same day as a launch. Timing is off for a full fledged Sleeping Dogs 2.
 
See it be another multiplayer only hero shooter game.

I could totally get into a Sleeping Dogs hero shooter, where they balance gunplay vs melee combat. So different characters are proficient with different weapons/fighting styles. Whole thing sending up the Bruce Lee-era kung fu movie vibe.
 
They tried this and it didn't work out so well for them (Triad Wars). I don't think they'll do another attempt at it.

I'm thinking something 100% separate from Sleeping Dogs.Likely just some bandwagon-hopping game for mobile that takes minimal dev time, and could produce easy returns.

Or maybe another remaster/port job (United Front did the XBO/PS4 ports of Tomb Raider 2013). I see whatever this tease is, is just a bill-paying gig.
 
Last time I got excited for a United Front Games announcement I was slapped in the face with Triad Wars. Keepin' my expectations hella low.
 
My guess is they're doing a remaster for some big series, just to be contrary to folks wanting SD2, as much as I liked the first I bet it's still a port.

Going to prepare myself for disappointment so that I won't get upset if Sleeping Dogs 2 isn't announced. But if it is, HOLY SHIT TAKE ALL MY MONEY!

I have three Sleeping Dogs platinums. THREE. And I loved it each time.
