No complaints about the combat (hopefully you can turn off the glowing indicators) but the driving physics don't look great.

Probably one of those games, like many, where one aspect is going to turn alot of people off from it. But I haven't paid a great deal of attention to the driving sections I will have to rewatch and ask the guys who played it what they thought.

 

[Sushigod7]

The more I see the more I like. I might actually pay full price for this, I'm almost day one now.

 

[Dash Kappei]

Really hope the PC port is decent. Does it come out same day as consoles?

Yes it does. I cannot wait!

Gamestop TV at work has been playing the hell out of the trailer lately. I guess Square is trying to push it.

I really, really hope it and Darksiders do well though our reserve numbers aren't great for either.

That sucks. Hopefully maybe for this game its because many seem to be rolling with a PC version.

No complaints about the combat (hopefully you can turn off the glowing indicators) but the driving physics don't look great.

My only qualm - and it is very minor - is that the visual cue for countering (red glow/pulse) is a bit too blatant, unlike the Arkham games' approach with the lightning bolts (?) appearing above the goons' heads. Those bolts were pretty susceptible to getting lost amidst the maelstrom of some of the bigger fights, making them a lot more tense/fun. The in-your-face red glow combined with the Assassin's Creed levels of dumb-foundedness in the enemies makes things look a bit too easy.

Walkthrough - Mrs Chu's Revenge

Holy crap. This game will scratch my itch nicely! And PC day 1? Yeah, you can have my full 50 bucks on this one!

 

[~Kinggi~]

Video was wonderful. Nice when devs get pro players to demo their shit.

 

[Jasper Avenue]

More than likely Day 1 for PC/Steam. Kind of regret missing that $30 GMG deal from a few weeks ago.

 

[gdt]

Wait, no PC requirements yet?

 

[eighty(one)]

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

Dragons Dogma?

 

[Derrick01]

Wait, no PC requirements yet?

Nope. I don't think Darksiders 2 gave them out either yet.

All we know about Sleeping Dogs are those DLC items from the Steam registry posted last page.

 

[Seance]

Dragons Dogma?

Better than Dragons Dogma? Day 0.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

The combat looks badass.

 

[spk]

This is just what's listed on Steam now, who knows what they're still cooking up.

Hi Res DLC?

 

[Aaron]

Hi Res DLC?

Probably same as it was for Skyrim, being PC only and very likely free.

They must have just added that, as it was not being offered when I pre-ordered. But I'll take it. Will come in handy this Fall.

[schwabdizzle]

Sleeper of the Year......I am defiantly going to pick this one up once I get through my ridiculous backlog.

 

[Reckless Onion]

Did they mention when the demo will hit PSN/XBL?

 

[rvy]

Watched the GB preview. Game is looking nice. Driving looks arcadey as hell and the combat looks very jerky, like a bad imitation of Arkham, but those are my only complaints.

Sleeping Dogs Hard-Boiled Gunplay Trailer

New trailer showing off some more gunplay in the game. Have to say I'm really starting to get excited about this game.

 

[dokish]

For people complaining about the lack of guns... looks like it will have a LOT of gunplay in some parts!

Can't wait. I thought this was gonna release the first week of August, but I just saw the 18/08. Damn...

Anyway, this and Persona 4 will keep me busy until Halo 4 and Black Ops II.

 

[PaulLFC]

The boxed version of Sleeping Dogs will be £19.99 on PC at GreenManGaming for 24 hours from midday tomorrow (GMT). Boxed console versions will be £29.99 too, I think. Delivery may be UK-only.

 

[rvy]

Wow, the more I watch this game the more I'm interested. Seems like something me and my buds would enjoy. Wasn't too big on True Crime, the first was barely decent, the second was a terrible mess with no QA. Getting ditched by Activision might have been the best thing that could happen.

 

[ironcreed]

These Russian guys playing the PS3 version for an hour and a half (The last 30 minutes is of the Olympics game). Only watched bits and pieces to avoid spoilers, but it looks great.

[Muffdraul]

I think what's surprising me most about this game is the genius NPC dialogue and delivery. "I have strong strong bird!"

Does it activate on Steam?

UK sleeping dogs has cooler preorder bonuses

 

[Dereck]

Ya boy lookin' mad clean with that headband.

 

[jimi_dini]

Driving looks arcadey as hell and ..., but those are my only complaints.

That's one of the reasons for me to buy it.

 

[pikablu]

So freaking excited for this. Glad the reviews are good. Makes that day 1 purchase for me feel a little less bad. I hardly ever buy games day 1 or even months after their out but the True Crime franchise was one of my favorites and this looks like it stays true to some of the elements from those games.

Is there any online pass/single player content tied to new game purchases/offensive pre order bullshit?

Really interested in this, and haven't bought anything new since probably Skyrim so figured why the fuck not if it doesn't have that nonsense.

 

[PaulLFC]

Greenman Gaming price reductions are live - £19.99 for the boxed PC version, £29.99 for the console versions.

 

[fushi]

Preordered the PC version on GMG. Hopefully I won't regret it...

Have there been any reviews or other impressions of that version?

 

[dreamfall]

Any idea on if the Steam version will also offer the GSP pack? Or is that console/Gamestop related? This game is looking more and more magnificent. I'm really hoping PC footage shows up soon, and it runs wonderfully!

 

[Lucifon]

Greenman Gaming price reductions are live - £19.99 for the boxed PC version, £29.99 for the console versions.

Went to get the 360 version but realised they charge for 1st class delivery. Already got it preordered from Tesco Entertainment for £31 and that's for the Limited Edition - no word on whether GMG are stocking the LE. You'll have to let us know how they are for preorder delivery.

 

[Acquiescence]

Greenman Gaming price reductions are live - £19.99 for the boxed PC version, £29.99 for the console versions.

Pre-ordered. PS3 Limited Edition for £31.09 is not a bad deal at all.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

considering the type of game, critical reception and how nice the game is looking, overall buzz for it just seems kinda low....

hope it gets the sales it deserves.

 

[Kuro Madoushi]

"Sorry, I just can't resist a camera"
lol

 

[PaulLFC]

Limited Edition link on GMG

Same price as the standard edition (PC £19.99, consoles £29.99). Free 2nd class delivery, £1.10 for first class.

 

[rvy]

That's one of the reasons for me to buy it.

I liked GTA IV's driving.

 

[Derrick01]

This game has a 24 hour deal on Green man gaming, 25% off. Brings it down to about $37.50.

[kittens]

I swear this game came out of no where. I only heard about two weeks ago or so. Maybe I was confusing it with Watch_Dogs.
