Sleeping Dogs Message Board older than one year ago

Want to see Sleeping Dogs weirdest achievement? Yes, there is something fishy about it.

#sleepingdogs Sometimes, in Sleeping Dogs, you kick so many asses that your still-standing foes give up and run away. This usually happens when you're clearing out the "drug bust" zones, which begin with a fight and end with some sweet, delicious camera-hacking. More »

The minute I see a dog that’s fallen asleep, I just go berserk. It infuriates me. I absolutely will not tolerate it. And a good way to keep them awake is by blasting out the noise car-chasy Sleeping Dogs at full volume. But what’s that? You don’t know if you want to commit your money to a project with such a chequered past? Then why not check out the demo? EH?

(more…)

Before you go deep undercover in Sleeping Dogs, you can go a little undercover in a segment of the giant open city of Hong Kong, by downloading the demo that was just released this week.

It's out on Xbox Live everywhere and PSN in Europe today, and arrived on PSN in North America yesterday. The demo includes a look at the "brutal martial arts combat, exhilarating free-running, and intense gunfights offered by Sleeping Dogs," a statement that would be incredibly shocking if you didn't know that was the title of a video game.

#sleepingdogs Sleeping Dogs has been one of the most pleasant surprises of the year. Part of the game's appeal is the fact it's set in Hong Kong, which begs the question: why aren't more games based around one of the world's most iconic and populous cities? More »

Crime drama Sleeping Dogs awoke to meaty sales in the UK last week, sinking its teeth into first place. Chart-Track notes the game, developed by United Front Games and published by Square Enix, has become "the sixth best selling game on first week sales in 2012."

The other major debut last week was the 3DS's New Super Mario Bros 2, which flew in at second place. Although it may seem awkward for a major Mario to launch in second, New Super Mario Bros also started its life in second place back in 2006. The game is sure to have a long (raccoon) tail.

Meanwhile, London 2012: The Official Video Game of the Olympic Games took bronze after a couple golden weeks.

Sleeping Dogs version 1.3 update tonight!
In anticipation of the European launch of Sleeping Dogs and in response to some of the feedback generated by the PC gamers on the forum weve prepared a patch that aims to improve some PC-specific features as well as fix some bugs that have been reported by the community. The full list of changes is below:

Improvements & Bug Fixes
• Fixed several bugs where NPCs would not path through doors properly this corrects the issue where Naz stops running in the first mission of the game
• Added HD Textures for UI screens (only available with the free HD Texture Pack DLC installed)
• Improvements made to reduce the frequency of erroneous dont lose your target warnings in missions where you are chasing an NPC
• Significant improvements to mouse support on various options screens
• New Keyboard/Mouse option which makes the keyboard & mouse the only input devices even if a controller is connected
• Several minor text bugs corrected
• Fixed an issue where mouse clicks would sometimes be ignored in the UI
• Fixed the keyboard and mouse camera controls in the Phone Tracing minigame

We boot up our PC and find that Hong Kong is beautiful, dangerous, and a great place to activate your face.

I’ve been playing the game that once was Activision’s True Crime: Hong Kong, but morphed into Square Enix’s Sleeping Dogs. It’s a GTA-like set in Hong Kong, starring an undercover cop submerging himself into criminal gangs. Here is what fell out of my head in response to it.

I have opinions on a great many things- why cats are better than children, why mushrooms are the greatest foodstuff on Earth, why I’d have little-to-no problem with all men being wiped out, why habitual smokers should bear in mind that the nurse who comes in to change the bag of liquid faeces they’re wired up to for the last, miserable months of their truncated lives isn’t going to say ‘well, never mind, at least it sometimes made you look a bit like you might be in a band when you were younger’ – but I could summon no opinion on Sleeping Dogs for the longest time. (Well, I say ‘longest time’, but that would imply that ‘nine’ is the largest sum of hours I can imagine, and that’s simply not true. I was on a 14-hour flight once, for instance.) ‘No opinion’ is not a careful way of saying ‘a negative opinion.’ I mean exactly what I say – the total absence of opinion, one way or another.(more…)

#sleepingdogs Every time you pick up a statue in the open Hong Kong world of Sleeping Dogs, you can take it to your shifu (or your kung fu master). In exchange for the statue, he'll teach you a new move to use against your enemies. More »

#sleepingdogs This is what happens when you build enough Face in Sleeping Dogs. Or at least this is what happens for me. I use all that hard-earned reputation for flashy sports cars. And then drive at such high speeds that I can pull off a parking job like this. It was so awesome it had to be documented. More »

#review Oh, Sleeping Dogs. Thank you for rescuing me from this slow, slow summer. More »
