All the previous True Grime games have been terribly generic, poorly written and uninspired, easily one of my least favorite of all the GTA contenders. I did like a few of the things I saw going on in the game footage (except for the shooting from the motorcycle, instantly destroying vehicles - too arcadey), hopefully the reboot and slight change of direction in production and who's making it will breathe some fresh life into this stale franchise and give it some autonomy. I'll put it in my GameFly cue for now.

Well, it's being developed by United Front Games which had nothing to do with the first two titles apparently. Their team is made up from devs who have all worked on 3 person open-world games from GTA to others.

Lets hope they pull it off.

The map looks cool.

Map is sweet any translation on the district descriptions?

Docks (A) Container ships, big warehouses, polluting industries (?) here's where a lot of Wei Shen's adventures occur.

Central (B) The centre of HK's metropolis is defined by its skyscrapers, big banks and big gangster bosses

North Point © Here you'll find a typical Asian night market, narrow streets and a great place for wild chases.

Kennedy (D) This district is on the west coast of HK, and it's where the rich have built themselves beautiful villas.

Lamma (E) Just off HK this island is sparsley populated, that's why it's farmed with drug plantations

Aberdeen (F) In Aberdeen you find those typical floating buildings. And yes, you'll be piloting a diverse selection of boats.

Sweet indeed.

But I'm just wondering will there be a Flyable vehicles in this game? Cause one of the screenshot has a speedboat. So is it possible to have a flyable vehicles on this game? Good question. I hope they're saving that as a surprise. I wont be too dissappointed if there's not, hopefully. Maybe originally there wasn't and now that Square Enix have it, they'll put it in. Yeah just like what they did in JC2 they have a variety of flyable vehicles.

Gamespot revealed there was not going to be any planes.

Lets hope they add one or two in before the game is released later this year

We are not going to need that if we get all the action on ground, I got big expectations from this title.

Some guys over at the forums at sleepingdogs.net found an image of the map. HERE Could've been from before it was taken over by square but it nonetheless provides an idea of the scale we're talking here.

Dude, could you give me the direct link from sleepingdogs.net?
Ah nevermind. Just found the thread

Thanks Broseph.

As for there being no planes, well that's OK. The emphasis will be on hand to hand combat, so I've a feeling I'll be out of my car/vehicle and being on foot, thus giving the map a huge size in itself.

[gta_fan28]

Yeah that's fine with me if there is no flyable vehicles in this game. And it seems it's not fit on this game cause this is not GTA and JC2.

[Narcis_speed6]

Made a little comparison between what they had done on true crime and the actual sleeping dogs.

[gta_fan28]

Nice comparison but I like Sleeping Dogs it looks bette than True Crime. Especially the Protag of Sleeping Dogs looks cool compare to True Crime.



No need to quote all of those images.

Yeah... now that you think about it... you can give a little thank's to Activision for canceling the game so S.E. could eventually come along and polish it up just like we all knew they would. They game's looking really good and I really do look forward to playing it.

[freak2121]

Sleeping Dogs looks better but I think the lighting is a bit lacking. True Crime's lighting was overkill but this one looks dead and boring.

[Nigel xD]

I actually prefer TC's lighting.
It gave the city a bit more life.

Like freak2121 said, it looks..boring.

But I actually really do want to try this game out!
and it comes out wo days before my birthday?

And the running style look's a bit better in TC...

But, the game is still in Alpha - so it's bound to eventually change somehow.

Exactly my thoughts, hope they are going to add a little more depth to the lighting, here are some more comparison shots.

[bammargera]

This looks like it has the same faults as it's predecessors, unpolished gameplay, and if the storyline is as bad, I think I will let this Sleeping Dog lie...

They should've kept the leather jacket.

The leather jacket is in Sleeping Dogs, the one with white t-shirt is True Crime.

Kinda disappointed since Nick Kang won't appear anymore
