The police themselves are another point of contention with me. If you’re going to go for it, why not go all the way? The system should be prevalent throughout the game – experience being altered even when not in missions based on how you play, leading to a much bigger meta game. If you are just roaming the world you can run over people to your heart’s content with no negative repercussion other than the police might chase you. Run over a pedestrian accidentally during a mission, and you’ll get a huge deduction from your cop XP… but only if you’re in a mission. The problem I have is this: during missions, doing things that would be considered “against the law” will subtract from your cop XP (cop XP starts full, while Triad XP starts empty) and violent actions will increase your Triad XP. That in and of itself isn’t a problem with me, and it really adds a lot of depth to the game because you have different ways of playing to level certain things. You see, there are a number of different experience levels you can gain in Sleeping Dogs – police, Triad, face, and martial arts. One of the things that bothered me with the game is how the different experience points are accumulated – more specifically in relation to the Triad XP and the cop XP.

One of the best parts of the story though is how there are both Triad missions, and police missions (as well as a ton of side mission content). There are a number of twists and turns in the story, but really you can see most of them coming a mile a way – that’s pretty common in this genre though. It almost feels like if it were a movie, John Woo could easily have directed it. It sounds like the story behind a number of martial arts action movies, and it ends up playing just like it as well. Sleeping Dogs throws players into the shoes of Wei Shen, an cop working undercover to infiltrate the Sun On Yee Triad (yes, it’s a play on the actual Triad, Sun Yee On).

Because of this, the core of the game was able to remain unchanged, and ended up becoming more polished. Square Enix then swooped in and picked up the rights to the game (but not the name), and kept the same team that was originally working on it. Activision didn’t see the game being as much of a success as they had hoped it would be because of different delays, so they cancelled development.
ANDROID SLEEPING DOGS BACKGROUND PS4
But first, go over our list of 10 of the best PS4 games in 2014įor those that don’t know the story behind this game’s development, let’s go on a quick history lesson, shall we? Sleeping Dogs used to be known by a different name – True Crime: Hong Kong (although even before that it was known as Black Lotus). So what about Sleeping Dogs then? Will it rise to the top, or be a giant flop? Well, continue reading to learn more. While there have been a number of games that have come close, many more fall very short of that lofty goal, and end up being forgotten by the time the next flavor of the month game rolls around.

Everyone hopes to tap that vein – to make a game that will get everyone talking and then in turn cause people to play (and then talk more). That’s not because they were the first game in the genre, but the first one to set people on fire with the desire to play it. In my mind, one of the greatest travesties of this generation of open world games is that we inevitably end up comparing any one that comes out to Grand Theft Auto in some way of form (just like I’m sure I’ll do here).
