Action & Adventure: General

[DNAtlantic]

And I quote! 

"Square Enix and United Front Games have just announced their new title, Sleeping Dogs which is for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC, it'll be coming later this year.

In true John Woo fashion the game has been launched alongside a live-action trailer which sees the games main character get creative with everything from a meat cleaver to a fire extinguisher.

Sleeping Dogs is an open-world crime drama set in Hong Kong and follows Wei Shen, an undercover cop who is looking to take down the triads from the inside, of course in this case, that means getting your hands dirty.

Hoping to build on the nostalgia surrounding the John Woo films and the entire genre Sleeping Dogs employs what United Front is calling an 'imaginative and intuative' combat system that mixes traditional shootouts with eye-watering melee.

In case you were wondering what some of those combat moves looked like then check out the live-action trailer below as Square Enix has confirmed that each move in the trailer was deliberately chosen to be accurate with both the feel and the moves that can be achieved ingame."

Here's the Live action trailer! http://www.youtube.com/user/sleepingdogsgame?feature=watch

From what I read on PS3trophies, this has got an August release date, and it does look phenominal from the shreenshots and that live action trailer could easily be a snippet from a full film.

Definatly one to look for, especially if it has ties with the True Crime series.

Square Enix and UFG, ok then. Definitely one for the radar, hopefully it will focus on a tad more than mindless violence. Could do with a gameplay vid tbh.

I'm sold just so long as I can jump throw numerous windows and back again during gunfights and there must, must!, be a scene with babies being abseiled down to the ground by SWAT style cops via the windows of a hospital

You can see the difference between that vid and the ones which are out there now.
