Rating for Sleeping Dogs Definitive Edition has seemingly been updated in Australia, leading to many speculations among the community.
Still says it's under SquareEnix 😒 was hoping it would've been u der someone else after their sale of studios and IPs
The sale hasn't gone through yet though. Nothing will change hands until then. Square Enix said they only kept certain franchises like Outriders. It's reasonable to assume anything they didn't name was sold.
Sleeping dogs is a dead ip that square bought separate from eidos. It’s probably fair to assume they didn’t sell it.
Sale still has to go through and be approved it doesn't just happen over night like buying a used car. Also depends what franchises Square included in the sale along with the studios as well if Sleeping Dogs is still owned by SquareEnix then they will label it as such. Also if they have prior commitments then they also have to honor that as well. Then after that commitment is fulfilled after a while then that said franchise the new owner can do anything they want with it. Like Microsoft had to honor the exclusive games Bethesda made for the PS5 or else they would be forced to pay out those contracts. After those contracts are full filled a game like Deathloop will most likely appear on Xbox. Microsoft after that can do what ever they want with the game.
Cut Isarai some slack. A Sleeping Dogs sequel can be handled by a better publisher than Square in these recent times. Let's just hope it doesn't stay that way.

I've been saying this for years. We need a sequel.. I would even love it if they did a remake from the people who made Sifu. Or if the two studios joined forces to make a sequel.. that'd be epic!
The Australian classification office will occasionally go back and look at old prices of media if they receive a complaint. So it could have been as simple as a parent complained about the rating as R18 was not an available video game rating when the game originally launched.
I'm not going to get my hopes up I've seen enough leaked internal memos as to why true crime and later sleeping dogs was considered a fail also square won't greenlight a game unless it will sell call of duty numbers
Interesting point, but what are your sources regarding seeing Sleeping Dogs as a "fail?" I thought the game did great.
Here it sold 1.75 million which was below what square wanted. However we all know square is never happy and fails to understand the difference between neiche games and cultural phenomenon titles.

One of the many video games that have faded into obscurity is True Crime: New York City, a title with a lot of heart but not enough support.
I had this game, was fun for the time. Trying to chase down Puffy and JLo in the limo fleeing the club shooting. I'm not really sure if you caught them or it was just a call on the police radio.

I've loved this game since I got it Christmas 2005. Despite the glitches, I enjoyed it a lot
The October Games with Gold lineup is here!
How about scraping Games with Gold and reducing both XB Live Gold and XB GamePass Ultimate by $5 per month.
I don't mind the games with gold, but in reality it has been a long time since I really cared about what came on games with gold.

I believe in paying for services you use. You look at the console vendors and they run a network that tracks your gamer profile, does your games saves, and provides an environment for multi-player. The servers and infrastructure to do this is expensive and has to be paid for somehow.
I like a direct payment method rather then hiding the costs behind something else. No matter what they have to find a way to make money off the investments they make. No company does stuff for free. Now with PSNow and XB GamePass I think both should just drop the free games (that aren't really free because they allocate Gold and Plus money to buy those games) I think it is time the the free games are dropped and the subscriptions drop in price as well.
I loved Aaero. I bought it on PS4 a few years ago and got hooked (some great tunes in there). I will happily double dip and try and grab a few achievements blitzing through the earlier difficulties again.
I havent played Code Veronica since the Dreamcast. I assume this is that but in HD?
Damn, I just bought code name Veronica. Lol. I was eyeballing the Castlevania game due to the recent Tokyo Gameshow Sale, but I guess I’ll just get it here instead.
Nope. That would make no sense...but there is going to be a Devil May Cry and Castlevania anime crossover.

So anything is possible.
dudeee sleeping dogs is fantastic
So many great memories playing these games! Kingdom of Amular:Reckoning was awesome and with THQ Nordic buying the IP back I'm hopeful we'll get a remaster and a sequel!
Dragons Dogma was another last gen treasure! I loved the Japanese take on Western staples and merging them with Shadow of the Colossus esque gameplay mechanics on top of great creature designs and a beautiful world!
Second Son was cool enough but hopefully one day SP revisits it with Cole battling The Beast who it turns out was Deslin. Sunset Overdrive was cool I just wish someone else owned it so we'd get a sequel. Dying Light is great especially The Following and I love how at night it gets super dangerous!
I've never heard of Hover so I'll check it out.
Some of these I don't think should be here, mostly Dying Light since it has sold more then 13 million copies.
Dragons Dogma is an amazing game, and something more open world games should look at, it's class diversity and combat was the best in it's genre,
I also think Gravity Rush should be here, it's a super good game.
Kingdoms of Amalur and Dragon's Dogma were fantastic, too bad it doesn't look like we will ever get proper sequels. KoA probably has the higher chance after being bought by THQ but I'm not holding my breath until something is revealed.
love it
