Sleeping Dogs

In case you don't know what it is, Sleeping Dogs is a new game coming from United Front Games and published by Square Enix. The game was formerly called True Crime : Hong Kong but Activision cancelled the game when it was just about complete. Square Enix picked up the game, helped the devs polish the game even further and gave the name, Sleeping Dogs, which not only suited the whole game's theme about undercover cops, but also was a required change in order to avoid copyright issues.

This is a game where you play as an undercover cop trying to infiltrate the Triads. It is set in Hong Kong and is a pseudo open world, action-adventure game. It is also touted to have the best melee combat system ever. Since Square Enix helped out, the story is seemingly even better than before and really focused. The game isn't linear as there are a ton of activities to do.

The graphics, gameplay and music are all top notch and the game is slated to be the best looking open world/sand box hub game.







With all that said, how many of you here are looking forward to this game? It's one of the few games I'm looking forward to play this year.

Really? That's awesome :)

The main reason I'm pumped for this game is because this game is pretty serious about its story like Red Ded Redemption and L.A Noire. Then there is the whole parkour and wicked brawls that you can do. Should be worth the wait.

What system do you plan on getting it for?

There's a new gameplay video up :D I'm downloading the video right now :)

I'll be getting the game on the PC if I can. I just hope it won't be a shoddy port or poorly optimized like GTA 4. Maybe I should wait for the reviews to confirm before buying the PC version.

Looks interesting, though I want to play True Crime: Streets of LA before I play this though.nintendoboy16

Never played a True Crime game before, but this looks cool. I assume it's something like GTA, and I like the setting. I'll be keeping an eye on this...

I don't think the game is going to get good scores. usually the games with story changed mess up. I believe it would be better to fallow the original story whereas you are a cop. would be a different action adventure game. sadly nothing is going to be changed.

True Crime Streets of LA is one of my favorite games. I hope this one turns out to be as good as it.

It's a really good looking game, I'm just not willing to take a risk with the story. I really want this game to be good though.
