Related: Donnie Yen To Star In Sleeping Dogs Movie Rather than being planned for True Crime from the start, Sleeping Dogs was simply retrofitted to the franchise before shifting to another publisher entirely. The franchise had encompassed two games, True Crime: Streets of LA and True Crime: New York City, and was a rather blatant GTA clone, though it featured a central gimmick of satellite image-based city recreations. Sleeping Dogs was, at one point, intended to be the next entry in the True Crime series. The open-world action title began its development at Activision, but it was neither Sleeping Dogs nor True Crime: Hong Kong at the time. Popular wisdom says Square Enix's Grand Theft Auto-like Sleeping Dogs started life as an entry in Activision’s True Crime series, but that’s not exactly true.
SLEEPING DOGS SEQUEL FULL
The full details of the Activision Blizzard lawsuit (content warning: rape, suicide, abuse, harassment) are being updated as new information becomes available. Activision Blizzard has denied the allegations. In the case of Sleeping Dogs 2, the structure of how NPCs behaved and reacted would depend on how players either fostered or curtailed corruption within a recreation of China's Pearl River Megacity.Editor’s Note: A lawsuit has been filed against Activision Blizzard by the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing, which alleges the company has engaged in abuse, discrimination, and retaliation against its female employees. The Vice article draws comparisons of the "massively single-player" feature to Skyim's procedural missions or the fluctuating world changes that took place in GTA 2 depending on which gang you sided with. The more the player interacted with the world, the more procedural mission opportunities would generate, such as crime rings to take down, or NPC murder investigations to sift through. This "massively single-player" concept was to bring a living, breathing world to life that could be impacted based on player's decisions and interactivity. As mentioned, the cloud aspect was all theoretical and likely wouldn't have made the cut due to the limitations of the console hardware.
The cloud feature would have been like chaos theory for Sleeping Dogs: A purse gets snatched in someone's game, causing gang warfare to escalate in another. Players would be able to choose different routes for both characters, opening up different story elements to unfold. The story was going to pick up after the events of the last Sleeping Dogs, but Wei Shen would be accompanied by a corrupt partner named Harry Feng. The game was going take place in China's Pearl River Megacity, and would sport a number of cool upgrades over the original game, such as the ability to arrest any NPC walking around, similar to being able to throw any NPC into the back of a car's trunk in the first game. Sadly Activision scrapped it due to costs and Square ended up picking up the remains and renamed it to Sleeping Dogs. However, in the documents they detailed some of the new features they had planned for the title, such as co-op modes and a branching story just like the original True Crime: Streets of LA, which is what the first Sleeping Dogs was supposed to be a sequel to, appropriately named True Crime: Hong Kong. The game never officially entered into production at the now-defunct United Front Games Square wouldn't give it the greenlight due to focusing on Tomb Raider, Hitman and Final Fantasy XV. Vice did a very detailed write-up on what Sleeping Dogs 2 could have been, based on a few documents released by former members of United Front Games.
