Sleeping Dogs Comic-Con 2012 Stage Demo

I am a native Hong Konger, and I see the developers aren't putting much attention in the environment details...

We are not using simplified Chinese characters, especially for printed characters. We use traditional characters. (You can try spotting the differences in Google Translate) At 01:54 you can see the "No Smoking" plate is written in simplified chinese. "???????" is in simplified characters, it should be "???????"

Something even more awkward, is that the name of the factory is in both simplified and traditional characters "?????", in which ?is a simplified character, it should be ?.

(It is also quite ironic for simplified characters to appear in printed-form in Hong Kong, given that theres lots of disputes between Hongkongers and mainlanders these days)

Another detail is that, at 09:01, I can't recognise the pistol carried by the policeman, but its still very common for a policeman to carry a revolver.  And it is also weird to see low ranking policemen with such cars (08:58), such cars are for senior officers only. While low ranking policemen should arrive to the scene with a police van instead (Mercedes-Benz Sprinter). You can check for the HKPF vehicles here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Police_vehicles_in_Hong_Kong

So...I guess they really have to consult some native Hong Kongers, since they are going very ambitious, to make a "Open World Hong Kong"... There are a couple of Hong Kongers in the voice actors, like Edison Chen, the devs should consult him a bit :p

Just hope the devs would notice these flaws and fix them, I really want to immerse myself in this HK themed game ;)

I am still in wonder , just how much did Square Enix do with this game ? but , regardless I have already paid for it and hope it is somewhat similar to Saints Row "2" , because I played that until the laser beam melted down to the disc tray ! I am glad the game is good to go , Thanks !

Thanks for answering my question

He died during the demo? lmao

looks cool

YES!  Preordered!

AMAZING GAME !!!

I can't wait

No dual-wielding in a game wanting to emulate Hong Kong action movies? Fail.

glad i pre order thats for sure

Should I get this on the ps3 or my PC? My pc can run games on better graphics than my ps3 and I can use a controller. or should I get this for the ps3 instead?

I was hoping GTA, am I asking too much? Jap Developers better start spending some big money on creating games.

I see simplified Chinese characters. Hong Kong players won't be happy with it. And they can't even properly translate "mission failed".

it looks like we've already played this game.. many times over.

This game is the story of my life. It's even got my moves and my bullet time effect. The only aspect that is off is that I am not Chinese.

If only it allowed a Mass Effect style customization for the main character. It doesn't need to have gender variances or homosexual branching sex quests, but rather the ability to change one's look, tone of voice, and muscle mass.

looks awesome

i would love it pre-order but sadly i cant coz i live in india ... and no game apart from the stupid BF's & COD  :'(

I was really hoping there would be good car customization in this game... its always good to have lots of stuff to spend your money on in open world games... Oh well.. hopefully there will still be plenty to do.

hmm.. on a second thought... combat seems too artificial too me. Moves snapping from one animation to another looks forced and mechanically fabricated.

Wow.. a new blend of honkong-inspired combat in an open world setting.. imagining it to be very promising in its offer to deliver an intense, action-driven adventure.
