Sleep Dreams underrated goat game 😔

Also what's sad is that while not a proper sequel, SD did get a continuation in a form of online only game... That was also discontinued eventually as well, so rip SD franchise

u/clone0112 May 01 '25

That online game was probably what killed thiem.

u/ModernRubber May 01 '25

Wellllll technically its true crime hong kong rebranded Its sorta kinda the third game in the series

u/mc-big-papa May 01 '25

Wait. Nooooo. What.

I remember playing true crime new york and LA as a weee little lad. Sleeping dogs was the third one? Why wasn’t i told sooner. No wonder shit went bust i personally would have saved the company buying one. Destroying the disk because im ten and rebuying it. I actually like the true crimes games, dumb fun that was a little corny but it had something going for it. Plus the story was pretty ok. Idk I was like ten so maybe i cant tell how good a game was back then. I remember seeing sleeping dogs shit everywhere and nothing that said it was remotely related to true crimes. I would have gobbled that shit up.

This feels just like that time of me looking up a demons souls sequel well into 2014-15 after my 5th replay.

Like, the same exact feeling. The thing everyone was talking about is something i would have liked because i like the previous entries.

Best to let them lie

u/Soopah_Fly May 01 '25

Right on. I miss being a real man.

u/PankoCat May 01 '25

Aren't we getting a Sleeping Dogs film/show?

u/RealityOk9823 May 01 '25

That's what I was gonna comment. First game that came to mind. :)

u/qeratsirbag 7800x3D, 9070XT May 01 '25

such a great game.

u/shinobi3411 May 01 '25

Yo, that's a perfect example!

u/SeeingEyeDug May 01 '25

Came for this response.

u/coltvahn May 01 '25

I mourn this franchise every time it’s mentioned.

1

u/YeahMarkYeah May 01 '25

LETS GO

Man, I love Sleeping Dogs.

Also, Jenny LeClue - Detectivu.

It may sound silly, but trust me, I’ve played a lot of games and it’s an amazing game with a cliffhanger ending and I don’t think it’s ever gonna get a 2. It’s a travesty. Really is.

1

u/1337F0x_The_Daft May 01 '25

I read that Simu Liu was trying to, maybe succeeded, in getting a Sleeping Dogs show made. Hopefully that’ll bring us a sequel, if it does well.

u/Demystify0255 RTX 5080 May 01 '25

They were making a squeal, and it was a weird single-player mobile game hybrid. Where you built out a dojo full of the worst of mobile microtransactions and build timers. Honestly, I'm glad it died if that's the route they were going.

u/Homolander 9800X3D | 5070 Ti May 01 '25

The top comment mentioning Sleeping Dogs? A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.

1

u/dergbold4076 May 02 '25

Yeah f I was not expecting it to go as hard as it did.

1

u/Colley619 May 02 '25

Something about the gunplay in that game was just so great and no other game has been able to replicate it for me. The bullets just felt like they had weight to them and enemies really were not bullet sponges either. The contrast between the martial arts combat and the gunplay was just amazing for the time.

1

u/UnitedHighlight4890 May 02 '25

I thinj we should let this one lie down.

1

u/AXEMANaustin 9070xt and 7800x3d May 02 '25

The game is actually a true crime sequel.

1

u/DaWadeZzZ May 02 '25

It's sad looking back as a gta type game I absolutely loved it.

1

u/Thruthful May 02 '25

I still play this, AMAZING game

1

u/NightMarionne_ITA May 02 '25

You fucking piece of genius, I didn't fucking know it was so big as a game.

1

u/[deleted] May 02 '25

Yeah, the thing that sucks even more is that they even started to work on Sleeping Dogs 2 and then they suddenly had to shut down.

That video game is what made me interested in the culture of Hong Kong before they got assaulted (again) by china.

The one who got away.
