It's weirdly uncanny listening to a bunch of Asians in Hong Kong that sound like Troy Baker.

I might just be a dumb American, but I would've preferred some accents, if they weren't willing to go the full native-tongue route.

i hope there's an option for mandarin/cantonese dialogue with english subtitles. it would give the game that chinese action packed b-movie feel.

Why does this remind of alpha protocol?

I'm pretty sure both games have James Hong in them.

I guess the random police activities of True Crime old didn't pass the transition to Sleeping Dogs. A shame but this still looks pretty good.

I like the concept of this, HK is a cool city and an open world game set there sounds good on paper. Also hoping for Cantonese voice with English subtitles, make me feel like it's the early 90's and I'm importing as much HK cinema as I could get my hands on.

Wasn't True Crime cancelled? Also...

Guy A: "We're cops, there are supposed to be rules."

Guy B: "You're a cop, I'm an undercover cop. The rules are different."

Normally, I don't criticize dialogue in a game but, wow that's laughably bad.

The cover art looks like it was done by Tyler Stout, who also does some real kick ass movie posters.

Doesn't look bad at all. I'm assuming I'm wrong, though.

I share this sentiment.

It looks and sounds great, but I hope it plays just as well as those two other things.

Although very unlikely I hope there's a Cantonese track and that I can just experience this w/ subtitles. Or just have English or Australian voice actors do the voice overs like how they used to do with HK flicks of the 80's and 90's :D

That was a pretty cool trailer. The lead hero looks like a real badass with his martial arts skills.

The character models look drastically better from the original announcement trailer.
