It's A Crime That There's No Sleeping Dogs 2 Yet

Huzaifah from eXputer: "Sleeping Dogs from the early 2010s is one of the best open-world games out there but in dire need of a resurgence."

LG_Fox_Brazil32d ago

I agree, I consider the first one a cult classic already

isarai32d ago

You say "yet" as if it's even possible anymore. United Front Games is gone, along with anyone that made this game what it is

CrimsonWing6931d ago

That’s what happens when games sell poorly. And I’ve seen people wonder why people cry when a game sells badly… this is your answer.

solideagle31d ago

Majority of the time it's true but if a company/publisher is big (in terms of money), they can take a hit or 2. e.g. I am not worried about Rebirth sales as Square will make Remake 3 anyway but if FF 17 doesn't sell then Square might need to look for alternative. <-- my humble opinion

Abnor_Mal31d ago

Doesn’t Microsoft own the IP now since they acquired Activision?

DaReapa31d ago

No. Square Enix owns the IP.

Abnor_Mal31d ago

Oh okay, Activision owned True Crime, but when that didn’t sell as intended it was canceled. Six months later Square Enix bought the rights and changed the title to Sleeping Dogs.*

*As per Wikipedia

Sleeping Dogs was a sleeper hit back then. It was fantastic. It actually still is. Would love a sequel to this, or at least a revive of True Crime series.

watching the video is better then going through 31 pages of gamingbolt.

Do they explain in the video why there are two numbers 3? Starfield and Tears of the Kingdom?

It's always refreshing to see games embracing the streaming community.

Bloodborne is a game I still restart and play every few months. I would welcome just a re release in 60fps with a visual upgrade. It's a perfect game. If I was king for a day I would include the randomizer mods because then it would be a kind of rogue like and I could play it forever.

gleepot378d ago

Sure, ill take a sequel to all of these.

Condemned criminal origins

porkChop614d ago

That was such a cool game. I didn't like Bloodshot nearly as much though.

MadLad613d ago

Yeah.
It lost the grounded soul of the original and became a kind of corny take on horror.

The sequel was by no means a bad game, but it's like they didn't understand what made the first so good.
Not much different than FEAR 2.

I still would have liked to see what they would do with the third, but WB turned them into a license developer for years now.
I doubt they'll ever be given a chance to work on old IP unless they get from under WB.

Profchaos613d ago

I hate they ended the 2nd on a cliffhanger

sourOG613d ago

I’d love a remaster of the first game: same with fear.

sourOG613d ago

I agree about that the FEAR comparison. First was amazing. 2nd was meh.

TheEnigma313613d ago (Edited 613d ago )

I loved that game. My first 360 game. Loved the concept

Surprised The Getaway didn't make the list.

ClayRules2012613d ago

I am too. Loved The Getaway, such a fun time I had with that game. Shame it never came out on PS3 back in the day😢

Good-Smurf613d ago

They did showed tech demo of the third game until it stuck in development hell for years and cancelled it for some unclear reasons.
Same with Eight Days very impressive looking crime game but got cancelled for unclear reasons.

RedDevils613d ago

It was 8 days, and I was so hyped wish they didn't cancel it.

ClayRules2012613d ago

Good-Smurf
Yeah, I remember that PS3 tech demo for The Getaway, it was really stunning at the time, and the density in traffic (for the small section on display) had me really impressed. I guess I wouldn’t say traffic, just the amount of vehicles on display in general in that area.

And I remember that Eight Days, that first trailer (where it looked like gameplay) with animations that still today blow me away, specifically the guy jumping throw that diner window and landing onto that table, that was a 🤯wtf moment! I remember hearing it was cancelled and was so bummed.

I wish Rockstar would’ve done something with that Sony exclusive they never delivered on (for various reasons we don’t know) shame on that too.

Yui_Suzumiya613d ago

Kane and Lynch series was awesome. Still waiting on a sequel to Dog Days.

neutralgamer1992613d ago

Scarface needs a remaster

True crime series was a lot of fun. Hopefully MS will reboot the series

Saints row 1-2 needs a remaster

Sleeping dogs is great but I feel like it's on all lists now a days

ClayRules2012613d ago

Scarface, I put so much time into that game! LOVED IT!

Would love a True Crime again, loved NY.

And Sleeping Dogs, great it is!

MajorLazer613d ago

Probably my favourite PS2 game ever, Scarface.

porkChop613d ago

With Xbox buying Activision I would love to see them reacquire the license and remaster the game. Then resurrect the cancelled sequel in Las Vegas. Scarface could have been a huge franchise but Activision bought Sierra, and COD4 had just exploded the shooter market. We know where their focus went after that.

Good-Smurf613d ago (Edited 613d ago )

Urban Chaos Riot Response is also deserves a mention one of many hidden gem of PS2 era.
Getaway is simply a darker more realisitc GTA in London crime world the second game pushed PS2 to its breaking point alongside SoC.
