Hopefully it doesn’t get ruined like the Amazon Yakuza show.

Sequel? Please, please, PLEASE

 

[SimTourist]

It's never gonna happen come on now

 

[SJRB]

Fuck this. That guy is the absolute worst.

 

[nowhat]

It's not going to happen. A sequel game at least. I do wish it would happen though. I need my pork bun fix!

 

[Billbofet]

Meh. A sequel to the game would be great, but there is no need for another gritty, crime thriller with an actor with zero charisma.

 

[Gaiff]

Fuck this. That guy is the absolute worst.

What has he done?

 

[Shaki12345]

What has he done?

Nothing, but he's a talented guy for sure. People complain about everything because they already have everything.

We are spoiled brats.

I mean if people actually READ the OP it's clear he's not going to star in it as the main character.

Reading is so 1995.

 

[MiguelItUp]

Loved Sleeping Dogs and I'd love a sequel as long as the quality is still there, if not more so.

Movie sounds alright, but not really something I'm clamoring for, lol.

 

[HogIsland]

Sleeping Dogs is the best GTA

 

[mitch1971]

Pork buns!!

 

[CompleteGlobalSaturation]

Sleeping Dogs is the best GTA

Indeed.

 

[Shaki12345]

Currently playing Sleeping Dogs Definitive Edition on Series X at 60fps (not possible on PS5) and the thing that stands out most besides the jank, is that the game is extremely fun and the dialogue is very funny. Like, laughing out loud funny. Haven't played it in a long time but it's still as fun as back in the day.

It's just doing its own thing and doesn't try to be anything else. Great game and it's about 35 hours if you want to do everything. It's only € 4,49 on the Store.

Outrage first. Then read.

Loos like the project is underway now (?)

The first post doesn't always nail it

 

[StereoVsn]

God, I am still upset about SE closing the studio and not making a proper sequel. I love Sleeping Dogs. The atmosphere and the environment as well as combat and characters were pretty damn awesome.

 

[Tams]

I'd love a remaster of the original too. The existing remaster is in some ways worse than the original.

Oh, and allow simultaneous Xinput and Dinput. You can't use a joystick and mouse together otherwise.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

We need a sequel

 

[FeastYoEyes]

Man is doing the Lord's work.

 

[Sgt. Pinback]

Simu Liu is a brain damaged fuckwit. Please god no.

 

[struggler_guts]

0 interest in a movie but if it leads to a sequel!!!

Can't stand this guy but I'd take some more Sleeping Dogs if it could open up potential for another game.

The OG is such an overlooked gem as open worlds go. One of the few long games I've replayed several times.

 

[Mr Moose]

I mean if people actually READ the OP it's clear he's not going to star in it as the main character.

 

[Neolombax]

As a game, Sleeping Dogs was a great open world game. As a movie, I don't know what would differentiate it from other movies with similar genre.

 

[GateofD]

Simu Liu isn't good enough, but can't fault him for trying to sell himself. Everyone knows asian actors are already on hard mode for trying to reach a western market.

 

[Paasei]

Sequel game would be nice. Don’t give a fuck about a movie, though.

 

[Soodanim]

I think a movie could work. The game is grounded with touches of silly/fun. You could quite easily translate story and gameplay to screen.

 

[BlackTron]

He didn't intend to play the main character. He planned to ask his famous friends first. Only when they were too unexpectedly busy for a game movie did he have no choice but to take the starring role...

 

[Tunned]

Sleeping Dogs sequel? Yes please! But only if it's as good or better than the original. They can make all the movies they want, I won't watch them, but if they lead to a game sequel I'm all in.

 

[Vlodril]

He didn't intend to play the main character. He planned to ask his famous friends first. Only when they were too unexpectedly busy for a game movie did he have no choice but to take the starring role...

It is possible that the money is only there if there is a more famous actor like himself on the main role than the actor that did the voice. Which I liked in other roles too myself.

That is how Hollywood works.

[CosmicComet]

Simu Liu is a soyboy of the highest order.

He'll probably turn Wei Shen into a vegan male feminist.

Give the role to Daniel Wu.

 

[PeteBull]

sleeping dogs, particulary definitive edition is amazing to this day, here quick gameplay trailer for any of my gaf-bros who missed out on it, its basically gta gameplay but in a hong kong kung fu/action movie setting:


here review/impressions from 2024

 

[Kadve]

Original had an interesting Development history for those interested. Got f-ed in the ass by Activision wanting it to be their GTA only to be saved by Square Enix when the former dropped it like a stone.



Also movie has been in the talks since 2017 at least.

Very underrated game. It needs more love

 

[Gamerfan81]

Wow, I just finished this game for the first time today! I thought it was a very good game. I hope there is a movie.

 

[Techno_Inked]

One of the best games ever. The combat and story were sooo good. Even though an official Sleeping Dogs sequel would probably never due to the rights of the IP. One can hope for a similar game. Still baffles me that to this day, no one even attempted a game in a similar vein

 

[Gambit2483]

Hell yes, As long as they keep this in.
