1Up:
Far too often, PC versions of multiplatform games are treated as an afterthought. Some missing features, like a lack of mod support, are unfortunate but excusable, even though publishers may be costing themselves sales that mods could generate -- see DayZ and ARMA II for an example of what's possible. Other omissions or decisions are more objectionable. Whether it's Ubisoft routinely delaying PC versions so they come out weeks or months after the console versions of a game (see: any Assassin's Creed game, Driver: San Francisco, Call of Juarez: The Cartel...), poorly adapted controls (Resident Evil 4 lacking mouse support comes to mind), or simply failing to advantage of the capabilities of PCs (Dark Souls unfortunately doesn't make use of the platform to fix its framerate issues), there are many ways in which PC gamers are subjected to lesser experiences than they ought to be.
United Front Games developed a really unique experience with Sleeping Dogs, and it still holds up. Unfortunately, any hope at a sequel hinges on it getting more popular almost a decade later.
Shang-Chi star Simu Liu is working to revive the Sleeping Dogs movie and hopes its success could lead to a long-awaited Sleeping Dogs sequel.
Please do. One of my favorite games from that gen. A man who never eats pork bun is never a whole man!
Square has their own GTA and they haven't bothered making a sequel. Yet they're wasting money on nfts and live service crap.
Gotta be more specific. Did it sell well to Square and their unrealistic expectations? Probably not. Did it sell well and garnered enough praise to deserve a sequel? Yes. They also bought the rights from Acti when it was True Crime so they must've thought it was worth it at the time so idk why they've let the IP die out.
According to Square Sleeping Dogs, Hitman Absolution and even Tomb Raider Reboot bombed on varying levels. They all dropped around the same time. All sold well enough but Square and it's lofty expectations got in the way. I remember Square was mumbling that TR sold 3 million + in a month.
As long as the game fits YOUR ideals eh? Whatever happened to artists creating what artists want...
Hey, they can create whatever they want. I literally said “I’d” be down if he doesn’t shove his ideals in it.
Whatever happened to consumers being allowed to voice what they want in a discussion forum, eh…?
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.
Majority of the time it's true but if a company/publisher is big (in terms of money), they can take a hit or 2. e.g. I am not worried about Rebirth sales as Square will make Remake 3 anyway but if FF 17 doesn't sell then Square might need to look for alternative. <-- my humble opinion
Oh okay, Activision owned True Crime, but when that didn’t sell as intended it was canceled. Six months later Square Enix bought the rights and changed the title to Sleeping Dogs.*
*As per Wikipedia
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.
"there are many ways in which PC gamers are subjected to lesser experiences than they ought to be"
Oh dear please, "cry me a river", 97% of the time PC owners get the better end of the deal, it cant be win win all the time, id LOVE to be able to run Fallout, Skyrim or Just Cause 2 at max settings with mods and better frame rate
I have to settle for what i get unfortunately
And look, YOU get the better version of Sleeping Dogs, i dear im gonna cry myself now
Im glad that Square Enix always opitimizes their games, all their games running great on my hardware.
most games are done well on pc, but its the ones that arent that stick out.
Whooaaa this looks good... Definitely gonna get this for the PC. My GTX260 probably won't be able to push these types of visuals but it sounds like it'll look damn good anyway.
I love that Square Enix always has well optimized games for PC.
Both Deus Ex HR and Just Cause 2 runs beautifully on my setup.
