Sleeping Dogs Dev Reveals PC Open-World Action Game Triad Wars

APB 2.0 anyone?

It will be another stillborn MMO cash-in that developers and publishers will point out when they complain that you can't make a good game for PC.

Sleeping dogs was a good game, not gonna say great, clearly it had ways to go before being an actual sandbox crime simulator. Stuck between a mix of Yakuza and GTA, but now it won't be anything else. It will survive for a few months unti it peters out and forgotten for another 10 years, like several other promising new IPs

Wanted to play Sleeping Dogs, but unfortunately after purchasing it I could never get passed the intro. Once I ran through the door and got caught by the cops in the into sequence the game crashed. Could never find a solution for it.

Too bad this is going to be another poor online only game. I would have loved to see something like Sleeping Dogs 2 or its spiritual successor to be PC exclusive and see the reactions of console only boys.

i want a proper sequal (although this sounds good) would prefare this to be the online aspect of a offline story like gta because sleeping dogs imo was unbelievably underated

This series and it's history is fucked. It has always been a sweet idea to kickass as a kungfu master cop in Hong fucking Kong. This is fact. Why was it so hard to fund when it was a True Crime game? Why did they not see how sweet sleeping dogs was and think about where to go next, instead of locking us in the same city with a bunch of mp players who are just as flabbergasted at this shit as you are. Madness, sheer madness.

If its fun i will check it out, but this only delays the superior SD 2 that NEEDS to happen.

The "online only" part is what bothers me the most, so no money from me for this one.

Try harder next time to understand what players wanted to see in a sequel, devs. (hint: it's not a online only game)

I loved Sleeping Dogs and believe it to be one of the best games of 2012. But what I loved about Sleeping Dogs wasn`t the shooting, wasn`t the fighting (it was pretty good, though), but the story. The experience of following Wei Shen and his quest. Sure, I loved the Hong Kong setting, but not only because it was very well made and unique, but because it was the background of a great story.

Now, this? Yeah, shooting, yeah fighting, yeah "open world" but that wasn`t what made Sleeping Dogs great. It`s amazing how they got an awesome game and concept and decided to follow up with yet another generic, bland, shallow, open sandbox game.

it's basicslly GTA online in HK wtf is wrong with that

So, I know i'm mad but does anybody seriously give a shit about this? Like are any of you like "Sweet can't wait to pick this up".

I really wanted a full-fledged sequel to sleeping dogs, on multiple consoles, featuring pt. 2 in Wei Shen's story. This is just dumb.

Looks too similar to Sleeping Dogs, also weak graphics for a PC exclusive.

Very disappointed. Was hoping for Sleeping Dogs 2, not (another) MMO...

I wonder how much of the budget they wasted on pointless multiple camera switches for what is, someone in a room talking.

So edgy.

While I'll give this game the benefit of the doubt I really don't like this new trend of developers telling us we can play the way we want, when it usually just means "you have to make up your own fun". I guess that's a large part of the appeal for games like Skyrim and Minecraft... both of which are huge successes, so I guess I should just take the hint and know this wont be for me (not a fan of those games I mentioned)!

I also don't like the "it'll be a whole new game in a few months/years" line either, because it just ends up being an excuse for a lacklustre launch in most cases.

Ah well, this game doesn't sound like my cup of tea, definitely would have welcomed something more similar to Sleeping Dogs, expanded and improved of course, but still story driven. I do hope this delivers for the people who like this kind of open sandbox game though.

Cmon...just bring us Sleeping Dogs 2...

ugh stop this open world nonsense. what ever was wrong with story driven single player?

Maybe this could be surprisingly good, but I fear repetitive gameplay and a "pay to play" business model. Stop trying to turn good games into MMOs u saw what happened to the elder scrolls.

I'll take what I can get. I cant afford to miss out on such a great game just cause its marketed as an "online game". Sleeping Dogs remains one of the best games I've played in the last five years. Eagerly anticipating this one...

As soon as I met the word "online" I'm leaving the news

Boo! Boooooooo!!

This series started as True Crime (which was o.k.), then changed to Sleeping Dogs (which was good), and now has turned into some online F2P Triad Wars thing (which is bad)... how many times can you change this IP and still hope to find gold?

Do Sleeping Dogs 2 instead, and include some open-world cop stuff in it, like arresting people for random street crimes, or just for the heck of it (like in True Crime). That game would be hot.

You just lost me with online

Lol wow ok. No one wanted this.

Online and free to play. Those never seem to mix well.

sounds like APB all over again.

It's really weird how many people wanted a Watch Dogs sequel announcement instead. Haven't you guys spent MONTHS whining nonstop about the game, now you want a sequel?

Published by Nexon...

I am not sure if I have hope for this game, it looks very arcadey/mmo'y, and that is nothing about what I enjoyed in Sleeping dogs.

I don't get why they couldn't make a full fledged single player sequel and also have this as the mp side of the game.

First Wasteland 2 and now this?!!? How does that feel console fanboys?

They release this when GTA online exists? wtf is wrong with them? this looks beyond terrible
