Sleeping Dogs was a really interesting game. Shame they never got to iterate on that universe with something else.
An incredibly talented team, with horrible upper management.
- they first had True Crime HK get cancelled and unfinished
- they invested serious time and money into Triad Wars
- they go and make the same mistake with Smash and Grab
It's not that Triad Wars and Smash and Grab are bad games, but the huge 'single player open world' audience just wanted SD 2. Heck a SD expansion could have brought in more dollars without overhauling the entire game.
Also, didn't SE have ridiculous sales quotas for several of their games around this period due to trying to remain in the black as a result of FF XIV being a complete shitshow in the beginning and the money they were spending on Luminous Engine and the 8 billion incarnations of FF XV?
I never understood why they moved from Triad Wars to Smash and Grab. Both titles seemed so underwhelming.
That's on Square Enix, the company that keeps having terrible business decisions.I'll never understand why they didn't start working on a sleeping dogs sequel after the praise of the first...

Doesn't surprise me. Whoever thought Smash and Grab would be anything bear as good as Sleeping Dogs was is delusional. Wonder what will happen with the IP now?
Sleeping Dogs was such a fantastic game. Why did this happen!?
RIP
Sleeping Dogs is so good. This sucks, really hoped SD2 would get made one day.
Hasn't been mentioned yet but they also helped out with Halo: The Master Chief Collection: http://www.unitedfrontgames.com/ufg-microsoft/
They helped develop the UI for the game which for the most part was good in a game that had its problems
