Sleeping Dogs sequel?

I just got done beating Sleeping Dogs, which was a very fun and interesting game that could have used a good bit of polish.  I have 2 questions.  First of all, have they talked abouta  sequel?  Second of all, can the scenes or anything change depending how you play the game (not shooting people in the beginning or something)?  

Given it only sold 1.7 mil so far it seems unlikely. Which sucks cos I like the game alot. To your 2nd qs, no, the scenes don't change.DefconRave

Haha ok.  Cause I went all out guns blazing right off :P.  Pretty good story and such for the most part.  I think if the game was given a higher budget and they polished it up (facial animations, graphics in areas, and so on) it would be truly stellar.  it definitely has issues, but i enjoyed it a lot and i think a sequel could be amazing.

Try True Crime: Streets of L.A. It's old, but IMO a LOT better (Boring Dogs was originally named True Crime: Hong Kong)

This about as close to confirmation as you'll get, until they actually annouce it

And of those 3 Sleeping Dogs is the only one that were are not sure will be getting a sequel I do believe.  

Well, even with all its problems, Sleeping Dogs was very entertaining, mostly due to the story.  

Next up for me is anothe SE game, Tomb Raider :).  Too bad the game seems pretty hard to run (with TressFX anyway :P) even on my GTX670.  I used the benchmark if that is accurate.

I sure hope so I really enjoyed the first one. It wasn't perfect but I had a blast playing it.

For part 2 I would want more side missions and a slightly longer story/bigger areas.

Enjoyed the combat alot, story, the atmosphere and the look of the gameworld.

The 2nd one sucked, but the first one's story, characters and gunplay are FAR better than anything in Sleeping Dogs

Strange.  I would rather they focus on polishing animations and such and increasing the general amount of interactivity in the world.  For example, I would rather they work on the customization and enjoyability of car purchasing, clothing, and interactions with NPC's, rather than side missions.  If this makes any sense.  I mean Saints Row III had a lot of fun things to do and customization to be had outside of the story.  Sleeping Dogs main attraction for me was the main missions.  The Cop missions didnt interest me quite as much.

It is my favorite of Square-Enix's recent batch of games.  I would purchase a sequel.

I'm not sure exactly. SE has said the sales were disappointing. But they said the same about Tomb Raider and Hitman sales and those games are getting sequels.

I definitely hope so, I loved Sleeping Dogs and they could do a lot more in a sequel. I don't know why Sleeping Dogs did as bad as it did.

Yeah it had a great portrayal of Hong Kong. For the second one I would really like a real open world though. The game really didn't let you go anywhere it didn't want you and that's not supposed to be the case in an open world game. I have tried getting over some fences by parking a car and then jumping on it and if there aren't any fences than they just placed invisible walls.

That was my biggest complaint about the game really. It's hand to hand combat on the other hand, is certainly one of the best things about the game. Searching all those stolen statues of the Kung Fu trainer was a blast because he thought you all new moves :D

I really hope they make a sequel too, a bigger and better Sleeping Dogs would be awesome !

Sleeping Dogs didn't really do poorly.  It sold nearly 2 million (if not 2 million at this point).  Square-Enix just have RIDICULOUS sales expectations for their games apparently.

It didn't do bad I dont think.  Hell, Mirrors Edge did worse I am sure, and EA is giving it a sequel.  I kinda lump the 2 in a similar category though, in that they both are great and innovative games (SD is better overall in my opinion) with many flaws.

I think if SE gave them time/money to really create an even better sequel with good graphics and animations then promote it with a nice trailer/commercial, it could be huge.  My biggest issue with the game on a technical standpoint is the animations.  The game runs quite well on my PC (GTX670 maxed out at 1080P) , I just wish his running was a bit less silly looking, and facial animations fit the interesting and usually well done voice acting.

It did have really great graphics. Some of the best I've ever seen in an open world game. They could do so much more in a sequel, so I really hope it gets one.

I think if console gamers will see how good the sequel would look on PS4 and Xbone it would have a chance of selling a lot on those system as well (see the hype of Watch Dogs soley about graphics).

sometimes the graphics looked great, sometimes they were rough.  But in that aspect they were more than fine for me, I am more concerned with animations (though the fighting animations were great).  Basically his running and facial animations.  Animations are very important to me in a realistic, story based game :P.

And yeah, as a side note, this and SRIII both look better than GTA IV and run A LOT better.  I know GTA IV is older, but my gosh that game is a technical nightmare.

PS - Watch Dogs interests me because of story.  I like Person of Interest (TV show) and it looks a lot like that.

Loved sleeping dogs..It just seamed to me like at the end they ran out of story at a certain point..Towards the end of the game it really got dull..How ever the karete moves where awesome..Shame it wont get a sequal..Seams like all the fun games like this an alpha dont sell well..

Tress FX got a lot less encumbering after a driver refresh, can't remember now what driver version came out just after the games release. When the game first came out my GTX590 struggled with Tress FX on, I was getting around 25fps but after the refresh I got a steady 60fps with Tress FX enabled.

It really only affects Lara anyway so it's no big deal not using the fancy hair effects. The game is still good fun, if a little on the easy side.

Enjoy :D

Luckily I played GTA IV on PC way later when it was patched and better hardware had come out. Never experienced what the technical issues. Don't know if I would say Saints Row III looks better, they both have a different style. But Sleeping Dogs is going for a very realistic style and does it great.

But yeah animations and facial expressions could be better, they look really good in the new GTA, so all the more reason for there to be a sequel :D

I love how 2 million units shipped is considered "disappointing". SE needs to fire these analysts saying they should be raking in 6-8 million units sold per game. They think every game sells like CoD?

a true sequel seems almost impossible since wei was SPOILER NOT WORKING BUT I THINK MOST PEOPLE WHO PLAYED IT KNOW WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT

However, i'd totally be for a spiritual sequel set in japan, other parts of china, Italy, Russia or the US (but hopefully not new york though if done well i wouldnt really mind).

I love sleeping dogs as the mix between GTA4 and Saints Row the third (both games i think are amazing). It has miles better combat than both though weaker gunplay, with a story that is not as interesting as either but perfectly fine. It isnt as "sim" as gta (though not really sim, still one of the more "realistic" sanbox games) and it isnt as zany as saints row the third. I'd love a sequel/ spinoff to be the same balance between GTA5 and Saints Row IV

There could certainly be a sequel.  Of course it couldn't be exactly the same type of story in the same area, since his cover would be blown with them.  he is still a cop and his mission was successful for the most part.
