Developed by Luxoflux (True Crime creators) and being published by Activision, this game features a female protagonist which is a refreshing change of p...

Oh apparantly higher-ups wanted a male protagonist since they didn't believe audiences would want a lady main character (don't even get me started on this), so the game was retooled to become

True Crime/True Crime: Hong Kong

The third game in the True Cr ok you get the joke, Activision dropped the game and the developers and Square Enix picked up the game but not the True Crime name, so now we get

Sleeping Dogs

You play as undercover cop Wei Shen, who returns to Hong Kong from America to infiltrate the Triad organization Sun On Yee (not the actual Sun Yee On). It's an open world game focusing on melee, free-running and driving, with a bit of gunplay mixed in.

Here's a developer talking about a mission in the game

Here are some of the stars of this game

I have suddenly become interested in the game but it's not out until August 14 for the US, 16 for Australia and 17 for Europe so who knows this game could be pretty cool. Apparantly if you have a Just Cause 2 save you get a Rico outfit that boosts your car hijacking skill so I know what I'm wearing for the entire game.

    Also, this game has been and still might be pretty cheap on green man gaming. People have been pre-ording it for about US$30. Which is pretty good if you are australian. And we get US release time (I think).

    The Raid: Redemption comes out on DVD on the same day this drops. The 14th is going to be a red letter day for Kickpunching.

    In fact, it should be a holiday. Blunt Force Trauma Tuesday.

    I have been told I should buy The Raid as soon as it drops, but I never got to see it. Is this a turism?

  • Sweeney TomSweeney Tom try The Substance it changed my lifeRegistered User regular
    Man.

    I might be able to afford this. I might be able to afford Persona 4. I might be able to afford The Raid: Redemption.

    But I will likely only be able to buy one, maybe two at most, of the three.

  • AntimatterAntimatter Devo Was Right Gates of SteelRegistered User regular
    simple, buy sleeping dogs and the raid

    or just the raid if you can only buy one

  • UrielUriel Registered User regular
    I wonder if this game will be any good.

    Or if it will be well received.

    It looks good though I'd like to try it.

    The Raid is a magical story about one man's quest to liberate a massive apartment complex full of criminal scum from the tyranny of intact facial structure using only his fists, elbows, knees and a horrific tonfa/knife combo.

    Think Ong Bak, but with even more cringe-inducing Kickpunching.

    Watching the launch trailer, I have decided that I would pay good money to dress my Sleeping Dogs guy up as Chow Yun Fat from the beginning of The Killer.

    sleeping dogs and the raid

    let me tell you something: i'm a HUGE fan of the thai/indonesian muay thai/silat craziness genre. ong-bak, chocolate, tom yum goong (the sequel is going to be in 3D holy shit), raging phoenix, bangkok knockout, merantau

    the raid is all of those movies turned to 11

    Do you like Just Cause 2?

    Because if you do then hoo boy is there an outfit for you.

  • ButtlordButtlord Fornicus Lord of Bondage and PainRegistered User regular
    just bought this shit on steam and i am installing it now and i guess there's a bruce lee outfit somewhere in this game

    i need it

  • PaperLuigi44PaperLuigi44 My amazement is at maximum capacity. Registered User regular
    Played this for a bit, I feel ashamed for how rusty I am at Batman combat, but I'm getting the hang of it again.

    The fact that you lose cop points for property damage is going to play on my mind during driving missions, even if it is in small numbers.

  • Indie WinterIndie Winter die Krähe Rudi Hurzlmeier (German, b. 1952)Registered User regular
    this is a pretty good game

    I am already obsessed with the outfits bonuses and the apartment upgrades

    the combat and driving are pretty dang good

    also the guy you play is half conflicted cop half actual psychopath, which is interesting

    The Rico outfit puts a big smile on my face, but the only problem is that I am staring at the hookshot during cutscenes and wishing it was fully functional.

    If you want a neat looking game with a female protagonist, Remember Me seems pretty awesome.

    fun thing to do during combat

    run at a wall

    try to parkour up it

    when he pauses to jump off, hit the attack button

    watch as wei kicks a bitch in the dome

    also sprint + attack equals jump kick

    and the tackle/punch combo is the best way to start a fight

    Man, I really want this game now. All the video that's been released lately is getting me stoked.

    But I already have Darksiders 2, and Borderlands 2 on pre-order, and a whole mess of things to play still. I may wait until the Steam holiday sale to get this, and every day will be a pain in my blood pumping thingy.

  • UrielUriel Registered User regular
    Honestly I was interested in this game but now that I have Darksiders 2 I am happy as a clam.

    Afterall, in Sleeping Dogs can you triple wield scythes and a hammer? I think not.

    These are good tips

    Also: drive a car into a group of thugs. Take most of them out, and then slam the rest of them into the trunk and/or doors!

    Meanwhile I just unlocked the "stun grapple"

    Now I have a whole new awful way to ruin someone's face

    i just dressed up like harvey keitel in reservoir dogs and absolutely slaughtered a bunch of people with my bare hands and then the cops showed up and i beat up a cop and took his gun and ran away

    it was awesome

    stealing armored trucks is getting to be a real hassle now, especially when I don't have a gun to shoot off the cop car tires

    but I need that sweet, sweet dosh though

    if you start having trouble with drug busts because they have guns and knives, one-up them

    bring a car

    run over half of them with your car and then when it's down to a manageable number left to fight hop out and beat the tar out of them

    also, chain together throwing melee weapons. it's a one hit kill
