Unsurprising, Just Cause 2 had a bunch of dlc too but none of it was necessary

 

[Totobeni]

I think the OT title need to have True Crime in it (like this is true Crime sequel/spiritual successor) to draw original series fans attention to the game, this is more way important than a funny or wired sub title imho.

Apparently it was developed as an original IP before Activision branded it true crime. Then they shelved it and here we are with Sleeping Dogs.

So at first Activision a wanted an open world game, then when it looked nice they duct taped True Crime name to it so they can revive that series but after that it wasn't good enough for them and sold it.

oh Activision.

This is according to my reading of an interview with one of the development studio founders in games tm mag.

Hope I got it right.

Still, good on SE for stepping up.

The original game was supposed to feature a Lucy Liu-style playable character, which Activision didn't like, hence the True Crime thing.

You should probably use this one. More people will check out the game if you do.

 

[Pikma]

I know what you mean about this, but to be honest, if I didn't know anything about the game and I saw that title, I would avoid it like the plague.

in 26 days.

OT is gonna be awesome:

Glassesless 3D!!!! ;p

Seriously, this game looks like a lot of fun. Hopefully it will be a success and allow me to purchase it without feeling guilty. I hate how I base so much on reviews even though I know better... I'm a fool T.T

This and Darksiders 2 on the same day. August is going to be insane.

Yeah I heard about the female protagonist,that was interesting and for sure it's more interesting than generic Asian dude #2452 we got here and I wish they kept her when they went with SE.

Is there a source for the female protagonist story? I've heard this claim as well but only in hearsay on forums. As far as I know it has always been Wei as the main character of UFG's game, but for a title in development as long as this I suppose a lot of ideas were thrown around in pre-production. Or perhaps the female protagonist in question was from a related, but abandoned internal Activision project?

伏犬 or 睡犬 is more appropriate here instead of 清醒狗.
狗 could be used but it is more likely that 犬 is used in the title.

Thanks for the link. Good investigative game journalism here. The article identifies Treyarch as the internal Activision studio that was developing the cancelled Black Lotus game.

Way too easy a joke, but I like it.

 

[Smash88]

I saw the quicklook on Giantbomb. The game doesn't look that good and looks extremely bland and generic for a GTA-esque game.

 

[Pikma]

getting materials for the OT and found this:

http://www.sleepingdogs.net/news/Just-Cause-Exclusive-Outfit

"With Sleeping Dogs only three weeks from release, today we're revealing an exclusive piece of bonus content for Just Cause fans. Sleeping Dogs players with a passion for Panau - and a Just Cause 2 game save on their hard drive - will gain access to a Rico Rodriguez’ trademark look.

Available in-game from launch in Wei Shen’s safehouse wardrobe, the unique Just Cause 2 clothes set will do more than add some swagger to your walk. Players stepping out onto the streets of Hong Kong dressed as the King of Chaos will gain a distinct boost to their action hijack ability, allowing them to perform stunt-style takeovers of enemy vehicles from an even greater distance.

This exclusive outfit will be available in-game from launch across all formats upon detection of a Just Cause 2 game save on the machine’s hard drive."

I'm getting it, day one! :3

What? The Quicklook looks fantastic. oO

 

[Yagharek]

I learnt a little while back to ignore media, and just try it out yourself. Too much obsfucated agenda in gaming press these days.

Not that I'm accusing GB, just a general principle.

I'm curious, do the Cantonese use 的 in written Chinese? Or would they use 嘅? Or is that contextual?

The GOTY edition it is then.

 

[Casimir]

That's because Ryan is apparently terrible at the simplified fighting (It's basically Arkham Asylum i.e. button mash the attack button with a few presses of the grapple button; with the occasional use of a dodge/counter button against an enemies highly telegraphed attack) and typical third-person shooting mechanics in Sleeping Dogs. More generally, for sandbox type games, edited footage of a longer play through showing a overview of the game is a better choice than a straight 35 minutes. But the unskilled nature of the player is the primary problem with the GB Quicklook. Machinima did a more competent and thorough preview. (Yes I realized that talking over prerecorded gameplay is easier than doing both on the fly. Some games need to be done in the former manner rather than the latter.)

Er, no actually, the combat was about the only thing in that quick look that looked appealing. The rest either looked ropey as fuck or boring.

Just Cause 2 never got one; so I doubt Sleeping Dogs will

Surely jumping between cars is more exciting?
