People told me that Sleeping Dogs was one of the good games, THEY WERE NOT LYING. Just thought that needed to be mentioned after Saints Row IV's eternal twilight a couple of weeks ago.Īnyway this seems like a good point to turn the game off, before these screenshots end up in the triple figures. There's a whole lot of sunlight in the game I promise you a proper day/night system in fact. I don't know why my other screenshots seem to be at night by the way.
SLEEPING DOGS APARTMENT UPGRADES DRIVER
I love that the game lets me do that by the way, checkpoints are a fun alternative to having to replay entire missions, but I kind of wish that people would just leap out of my way instead like in the Driver games.
Somehow I still give a shit about it though and I've been reloading my last checkpoint every time I accidentally run someone over. I get -15 cop points every time I hit an innocent pedestrian, which means that human life is worth as much to the HK PD as hitting three lampposts.
What's funny is that I can steal cars and run people over all I want without the game freaking out about it at all. I think that's it then, I've I seen enough of this now to know what kind of game it is and how it's going to play out from now on.Īctually there's one more thing I should show off before I shut up: I can action hijack vehicles by leaping out of my car while driving up to them! But I don't want to, because I'm a nice guy. It's hard to aim quickly with a controller, okay? All the gunplay is imaginary so I can gun down who I want! And because I keep fucking up this slow-motion gun vault move I get to do it over and over and over again until the game's satisfied I've got it right. The game has cleverly gotten around that though in this case by having me take part in a crime scene reconstruction with Pendrew. Though I really shouldn't, as I'm a cop and it's frowned upon for officers of the law to go on GTA-style kill frenzies here. Hey it turns out that the game does have guns after all! It's illegal to purchase firearms in Hong Kong, so there's no gun shops around, but when I find one I get to make use of it however I see fit until the bullets run dry. well, screen-filling if you've got a tiny little monitor like I do.) (Click the pictures to view them in an epic screen-filling 1280x720 resolution. They then retitled it to Sleeping Dogs, which is a decent enough name I guess, though personally I think they should've gone with ' Final Fantasy XV' just to see the reaction they got. until Square Enix stepped in like a big damn hero and saved the day, in a similar way to how Deep Silver saved Saints Row IV. Then three and a half years into development they decided that they'd rather cancel the whole thing altogether, and that was the end of it. It actually began life as a new IP with title Black Lotus (no relation to the Lotus Turbo Challenge games), but publisher Activision decided they'd like to revive their True Crime franchise and relabelled it ' True Crime: Hong Kong' instead. The game didn't used to start with an 'S', that only happened relatively late in development. Super Adventures' run of spectacular semi-recent story-driven sandbox games starting with 'S' concludes at last with Sleeping Dogs! Here, you can listen to the theme while you read: youtube link.
