'Sequel' to be shown this year...

Well not a direct sequel, but a game set in the same universe called: Triad Wars.

United Front is returning to the Sleeping Dogs universe with Triad Wars...

It's not known if Wei Shen will be back as a playable character or just an NPC with you being a new character as it's just set in the same universe and not a "direct sequel".

But as this article claims not a lot is known about the game and it could just be a mobile/tablet game...

United Front have posted this "blurry" teasing pic on their Twitter page...

That's not a mobile game.
In fact someone asked what the game was running on and UF replied it's on the PS4.

Is that Wei Shen in the pic, or an new character?
Hard to tell.

So what do you want from the next game?

For me, Sleeping Dogs was a great template...but flawed.
The vehicle handling was horrible.
The hand to hand combat was OK, but needed tweaking.
Gun-play was weak.
The story had gaps...finish a mission and wake up in a new apartment...where did it come from?
Some characters had little introduction and dissipated just as fast. Like the girlfriend aspect, date them once and they are never seen again.
The map didn't feel "open" enough.
The free-running was buggy.
The main missions were fine, but there was a lack of side missions/quests/distractions. In a open world game like this, you really need them.

It actually reminded me a lot of the first Assassin's Creed game. Great concept but let down by little niggles that could have been ironed out.
Then Assassin's Creed II came out...wow.

I know it sounds like I didn't like the game, I did. I really enjoyed it...but it was one of those frustrating games where you could see how great it could have been if they had just worked on it a bit longer.
Plus I don't think United Front had much or even any experience in making an open world game like this.

Still the new one is coming and I hope they have listened to feedback and learnt from the last game...

I'm curious as to how far along in development they are.
Wonder if it'll be released this year?

And so, God came forth and proclaimed widescreen is the best.

I hated the vehicle handling with a passion.
The girlfriend part was short. I thought it would've been more to it.
The fighting was cool. Except I kept dying when there was more than one person fighting me. Especially if they had a weapon.
There were things that I didn't like, but I still liked the game a lot.
I really like the story.

I want to play the next one. Hopefully it comes out this year.

Actually on pc. The car handling fee wasn't bad. You do learn to drive with left hand. If you ever need to drive and shoot at the same time you need to learn to drive with left hand. Otherwise do as Gta and let you assign new buttons for driving as opposed to on foot.

I really would love a proper sequel to sleeping dogs. A multi-player isn't such one as the story was really awesome. If only it also had multiple endings depending on if you chose the cop ending or the Triad ending.

The thing with new apartments is really odd yes. It's not explained. And if you don't finish gf before going further. You cant get the right things on the minimap.

With how the character and story developed, I don't think there is a need for a multiple endings. I can't see Wei stay a triad no matter what.
