Kotaku - I played two PC ports of two big, exciting new games this week. One of them worked. One of them didn't.
The two big games in question were Square Enix and United Front's Hong Kong crime game Sleeping Dogs and THQ and Vigil's comic-booky fantasy game Darksiders II. Both games came out on Tuesday, both were released on Xbox 360, PS3 and, in an increasingly uncommon but welcome move, simultaneously on PC (hooray!).
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."
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
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.
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.
The past few years have seen some excellent open-world titles on top of the existing classics. Here are some of the very best that you should play.
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?
GF365: "Here are eight games that need sequels. These games are ones that players would love to experience another time, bigger and better."
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.
TotalBiscuit had an hour long video of Sleeping Dogs on the PC (which included a nice c**k fight), and the detail looked beautiful. Damn, the city and draw distance was very nice. Menu's were a bit eh with lack of mouse controls, but looked amazing overall. Too bad the Darksiders PC version is suffering. Hopefully it gets fixed soon.
Darksiders 2 PC is just fine, and is better than console on a gaming class PC... but sleeping dogs is way better on PC, not just frame rate and resolution boosts.
Console ftw.
