Sleeping Dogs - Bringing Hong Kong to Life Trailer - YouTube

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SE2ADqLuzvU

Looks not too bad so far. Trying to find out more info.

The facial expressions on the characters are kinda whack though.

Note: This was previously named True Crimes: HK

Developed here in the 604
http://www.unitedfrontgames.com/

[dub.g]

the game was pretty much finished at the end of 2010 when Activision announced they are stopping production on Guitar Hero, Tony Hawk, DJ Hero and True Crime IP because they believe they just wouldnt sell as much compared to their yearly release of Spiderman games

Gamespot and Gametrailers praised the game back in e3 2010 for having the HK city look and feel better compared to Liberty City.

[SkinnyPupp]

Was so looking forward to it, I love HK and I love it when movies and games take place here. Was sad to hear it got canceled, but I hope something good comes out of it :D

[willystyle]

Infernal Affairs much? That's what it felt like from watching the trailer.

[twitchyzero]

not enough games out there that include asian cities as backdrops (i can only think of Yakuza and Kane & Lynch)

hope they make it really open world like GTA

Gamespot and Gametrailers praised the game back in e3 2010 for having the HK city look and feel better compared to Liberty City. It was far from finished when Activision killed it. One of my good friends is an environment designer on the game and I got to see first hand how buggy it was.

[Simplex123]

Is there gonna be a Chinese version with Cantonese voice actors? That'd be SICK

[Tim Budong]

game does look good. but there can only be one awesome gangster

[Datsun]

So THAT's what happened to TC HK! I still remember being able to stick some poor guys head into an AC unit from the trailer...lol

[dub.g]

It was far from finished when Activision killed it. One of my good friends is an environment designer on the game and I got to see first hand how buggy it was.

they talk about it on Invisible Walls podcast last year and mentioned it was almost finished supposedly

but then thats probably why Activision decided to drop it, if it was far from finish and very buggy, they probably didnt want to invest any more money into it as it would miss their target fiscal year


IMO, SquareEnix should have bought the rights to True Crime name, the game will sell better with that name

1:02.... did they realize they got "HONG KONG POLICE" upside down??
I don't think those of us from Hong Kong will enjoy it, for one thing - just from the trailer there are a LOT of mistakes that will get really annoying - ie: some of the signs make no sense - and HK Popo officers do NOT have those stupid lameass american style badges

And there had better be street vendors selling food and crap, red taxis, mini buses, hourly hotels, copy watch vendors, etc

[impactX]

Where is the part where I get to kill Sun Yee On bosses like the Heung family or Albert Yeung lol

[SkinnyPupp]

First weird thing is that the main character has a mandarin name :suspicious:

They need to make an HK version of GTA.

I think it's more likely poor writing, which has me worried about the rest of the game. Why on earth would you have any reason to make a HK police story about a big 6? :fulloffuck: (appropriate smiley)

[franklucas]

looks liek a decent game, i would give it a try, im a fan of triad movies anyway lol

August 14th :fullofwin:

[Cman333]

Looks cool.....

Gotta give it a try



Be kinda cool if it was done in chinese with subtitles like the movies lol

[SkinnyPupp]

Would be 100% cooler if it took place in the 80's back when all these cop movies were actually really good

[twitchyzero]

im hoping it wont be terribly optimized for the PC
was gonna get it for ps3 but i wanna see the HK backdrop in details

[striderblade]

just saw one of the gameplay video on gamespot. They actually swear in cantonese lol. So getting this.

Buying this for Xbox. I haven't been this hyped for a game since Armored Core V.

[asian_XL]

I don't see a double deck bus

[EmperorIS]

I want the whole game in Cantonese

[SkinnyPupp]

Still can't get over the main character having a Mandarin name. Unless it's explained in the story, it is just one of those ignorant things that may be a sign that it gets worse

[threezero]

looking at the gameplay no headshot kills???

[MoBettah]

Pre-ordered on steam. Now have the SD pack for TF2 haha!

There are headshot kills. Person demoing isn't that great of a shot. I will say it's not easy at first to pull off headshot kills with a sub-machine gun (most of the weapons are harder to aim), but it's doable.

FYI, I love riding a crotch-rocket in a white suit like Andy Lau. LOL

[eLy604]

this game... is so awesome.

Sleeping Dogs Review - GameSpot.com (http://www.gamespot.com/sleeping-dogs/reviews/sleeping-dogs-review-6391270/?tag=Topslot;SleepingDogsReview;SleepingDogs;ReadI t) 8 outta 10.

IGN review (http://ca.ign.com/articles/2012/08/14/sleeping-dogs-review) 8.5

"IGN: Playing Sleeping Dogs kept me on the edge of my seat, but not for the reasons you might expect. Sure, Sleeping Dogs’ melee combat and gunplay provide plenty of thrills, the driving is extraordinarily fun in all of its arcadey glory, and there’s a whole lot to do in the version of Hong Kong Canadian developer United Front Games created. But at the end of my nearly 20-hour experience, none of that mattered to me as much as the story did. It’s that story, coupled with rock-solid mechanics and a task-heavy world that sets Sleeping Dogs apart from its competition."

I will say this, the story is pretty awesome for an open world game and has many instances of HK cinema interlaced.

[RabidRat]

So is there a reason for the mandarin name or was it really them being sloppy?

All I know about the story so far is that he's an American.. so maybe he had nothing to do with Hong Kong before the story takes place. Guess we'll have to wait and see! My guess is, they are just being ignorant

It has to tie in with the original pitch for the True Crime HK game, so the name couldn't be changed. It was a bit tricky when the handover from Activision to SquareEnix occurred...believe me.

is there a reason why one would play ps3 version over pc?

[davy]

I got the Xbox version for this game and I'm so hooked to it. I feel like a highschool kid again :lawl: The conversations in the background are pretty funny but if you don't know cantonese, then a huge chunk of fun factor is taken away.

fucking hurt.. went to brentwood to trade in my MW3 for this game sold out @ eb games in lowermainland.. FUUU:okay:

playing a game like this i would prefer playing on the couch infront of ma big screen tv. and id assume playing with a controller would be more chillin.

[Jet]

is there a reason why one would play ps3 version over pc?

I'd play these kind of games on a console over a PC, only real advantage the PC has is HD textures but KB/M on this game is horrible (but you can plug in an xbox controller and remedy that) ... oh and 3D can be enabled on PC if you have the right equipment for it ...

[!Nhan]

debating if i wanna play it on my ps3 or pc. my pc can run this at probably close to max res, but would require me to buy an xbox controller lol

oh the dilemmas

hmm? I thought it was only 10% off pre-orders

Try Best Buy for trade in, they usually give you better value anyways. Plenty of copies at my nearby store.

I tried to find a cock fighting ring after playing the game for maybe an hour. I was in Aberdeen since I was just dicking around, and went to that one. HKD$20,000 bets = too baller at my game progress :lawl:!

Good game so far, controls can be a bit clunky at times, but it's pretty fun.

for PC gaming, KB/M is always going to be better for FPS and RTS type games ... but for this game specifically, I highly recommend using a controller ... the KB/M controls on this is not very good and the controller works very well with the game ...

[winson604]

Got it delvered yesterday and played about an hour. Having a lot of fun so far. The Cantonese alone makes the fun factor go up a few notches for sure.

I couldn't help but notice as the game started and they rolled some credits on who was in the game. Lucy Liu, Kelly Hu, Emma Stone, Tom Wilkinson, and Edison Chen etc. Yes, Edison is the hurting guy Peter in the game lol.

just got it from Futureshop they gave me a steal case for free

futureshop on west broadway had a couple more copies

Anyone else get the GSP pack when they bought it, even though thats a preorder bonus?

I dont know any Canto, but the use of it gives off a great atmosphere. Makes the game immersive as hell.

[Jayboogz]

Yeah I got the steal pack no pre-order

[davy]

If you guys are talking about the online code, I got the police protection pack without preorder from EB.

I was winning the cockfights :lawl: at the beginning and was gonna buy the most expensive car at the dock. Once I got to $600,000 i started losing and I'm down to $218,000. :failed:

Where's poker located?

EDIT: NM i found it.

that's not a preorder bonus it's a bestbuy exclusive and basically in all the ones you buy from bestbuy. i'd rather the steelbook from futureshop and $20bux off when i buy a game next month though.

You can play on the PC with a controller...

And why the hell do you need to understand chinese to play when they have subtitles? The non-subtitled stuff are just nonsense the NPCs are shouting at you.

I actually found the Chinese dialogue to be annoying, just mixing in some swears and a phrase once in awhile, I'd rather they do all Chinese with english subtitles or just stick with english dialogue.

i know u can play on pc with a controller but not everyones computer can handle the game at high. id rather stick to no lag play ps3 and besides i got a 58 inch tv for the ps3

dude its not the same if you dont understand canto the subtitles in some lines arent what they actually mean. and who wants to read subtitles when u can listen?

yes they needed to pick one language and stick to it it would of been awesome if it was all chinese but they needed to be able to target this game to other people as well.

I think it's actually pretty realistic (and funny for those of us who understand) how they integrate both cantonese and english into a single sentence in a lot of the dialogue

Would be realistic if the game was based in America. Somehow doubt the Triads all speak such good engrish. LOL

This game is more like a Cantonese swearing lesson for the non-canto people.

so i started the game on tuesday, and i finished it about an hour ago. yeah it's a pretty damn good story. wish i spent more time on side quests and stuff cuz i finished it with a face level of only 4 LOL

havn't play the game but real hk triads definitely does not speak like cbc/abc

[RuzzFuzz]

just beat it in 13.5 hours. Overall pretty fun game. Time to do all the race missions, ahahah.

[winson604]

I had a blast while it lasted but I've grown bored of it already. Game was too short and there isn't much or any replay value at all. The cantonese was a bonus for me and it was freaking hilarious but that quickly wore off too. Glad I only paid $50 tax in with the E3 promor, $59.99 + tax would have been shittier. Friend wants to buy it for $40 making it only $10 for me = well worth it.

[Fappin]

Just beat the main story of the game. Was quite short, but enjoyable. All that half english half canto(cussing) reminds me of HS lol

[xilley]

anyone got a ps3 version they want to sell !

PM'd u

[BlueCrayon]

Anyone get annoyed at some of the cantonese spoken by the characters?

Winston's mom's cantonese made my ears bleed.

They honestly should have gotten more HK VA's to do the voice overs.


Also i hope they add Kowloon areas such as TST, MK, and NT areas in DLC
was dissapointed that they only chose 4 areas that were only in hk island and didn't even have lkf

[asian_XL]

there are way too many tattooed muscle men in HK

[G-spec]

I'm glad I got the game on PC, because these driving mechanics are absolutely horrible, just got to wait for the modders to get to work.
The way they drive is so arcadey, and it totally kills the excitement of buying a new vehicle when you know it's gonna drive like shit.
It's a pretty big part of the game too, I understand they tried to make it easy for noobs but the least they could have done is set up an option where you can have normal or simulation driving physics like Mafia 2.
I don't know how many of you guys played that game, but it has the best driving physics of any of these types of games. Actually felt rewarding switching between vehicles and upgrading...

Also it would have been absolutely awesome if they could make a fighting mode where any time you get into a fight you can switch your controller layout and basically every button on your controller becomes a different type of strike or move....
with the fighting already being so good, THAT right there would have put the game over the top for me and probably many others

here are a few things

1) did you notice if you're in Central (better part of town), the cars are nicer?
2) There were a LOT of cantonese in the game, I thought it was pretty awesome how they integrated it PERFECTLY. The slangs, when you beat someone up, when you steal someone's car...etc. there were so much asian slangs, to be honest, I couldn't think of any Asian swear words they DIDN'T put in.
3) There are 3 triad gangs in HK. a) 14K b) Sun Yee On. so the references were awesome.
4) Did you know when you're in the triad, aside from being a "dai lo" (big boss), the next in line are called "double red poles" These are the second hand man to the dai lo.
5) Edison played the role of Jackie and the voice over was pretty cool, Emma stone was in two scenes, but i doubt you'll recognize her

The story was pretty short, but I thought being a honger, and watched all the ekin movies, it was a decent game. it's not going ot be as good as GTA, it's just no comparision, it's not going to be like Saint's Row. The HK scenery was great, the diaglogue and me being able to understand all of it was really good. story was meh, but again, it was short and sweet.

[SkinnyPupp]

The tattoos are also the wrong style... the tattoos here are mostly fine line work, not shaded japanese style. At least for the 'lower level' guys!

[6793026]

two things that stood out, no traffic in HK and where the fook are the MTR and the 7-11 corner stores ahhahah

[RacePace]

Clothes are also nicer in Central of course. Pretty obvious which character Emma Stone would be playing, Kelly Hu's still the hottest actress doing voice acting in this game though :love:

Having to drive through HK's actual traffic would've been annoying. I'm ok with no MTR, it's not really necessary, a fight scene or two might been cool, would definitely rather drive or take the taxi to get to places

[jaemc]

Just finished as well! Took 4 days on the ps3! :fullofwin: LOL Gotta agree with most of ya the driving physics sucked balls. The HK roads honestly did not impress me tho.

All in all pretty entertaining game.

[lucky07]

Game reminds me of that old jet Li game for ps2 lol good old days

that pretty authentic actually. check out young and dangerous, ekin's dragon inspire a generation of hk gangsters

[Purely]

Just started playing this game, and so far its awesome! The Cantonese dialogue is hiliarious LOL, especially the way they mix it in with English. Playing this reminds me of Young and Dangerous.. going to pek yao in a van!? :fullofwin:

[SkinnyPupp]

that pretty authentic actually. check out young and dangerous, ekin's dragon inspire a generation of hk gangsters
From what I see, 99% of the 'gang' tattoos here are fine line work. But again, that might just be the 'lower' guys who knows. The only guy who ever talked to me about tattoos was covered in scratcher work that was so bad I couldn't even tell what some of them were. :fuckthatshit:

[Vansterdam]

finally beat this game 100% lol with all collectibles/missions/achievements :fuckyea:

took me 35 hours altogether but man this game was dope

only thing i didn't like was the boat driving otherwise everything else was awesome

[twitchyzero]

wtf...dlc featuring jiang shi...ancient chinese zombies lol

Did they finally add some more geography? I finally checked the game out, and was pretty disappointed in how small the map was

[CP.AR]

To people who don't live or have visited Hong Kong, sure it does look like Hong Kong.
But if you've been there, the roads look nothing like Hong Kong...

Where are the wads of busses? Where are the crazy minibusses... and last but not least - why the fuck are NT Taxis in Central?

The first minibus I saw was actually one that I take every single day... and it is nowhere fucking near Central :lawl:

The game is a bit too silly it seems... Saints Row can get away with it because it's just so over the top, this one I dunno... it's like they can't decide if they want to be goofy or serious.
