Unfortunately most of the times when games put out DLC, it's nothing to get exited about, just little something for more $$.

This is looking like it'll be like the Saints Row 3 DLC. Alright but pretty disappointing.

Who else ran over street racer girl at the beginning of each race?

Taking that route through the two columns of cars is an easy way to get ahead early, so yep.

its really lame how they release this type of DLC , just some costumes and probably some skins for cars, its just really lame we allowed them to charge us for those things, while they probably thought about that before releasing the game but decided they release them couple months later and charge us for little megabytes, just lame. there should be some rules about DLC, this is not a DLC its just skins, really lame.

This is all the pre-order DLC. For instance the SWAT pack was the Gamestop pre-order bonus. The reason it's getting released now is due to the timed contracts that retailer specific bonuses have placed on them. It's usually something that the marketing team and publisher are responsible for.

Also skins totally qualify as DLC. It's content that you download, it's impact on the game isn't a factor.

Btw there are missions included with this DLC, I thought that was pretty obvious to everyone from the trailer, but I guess not.

Finally, does it really even matter? Why even pay it any attention? Is Sleeping Dogs the only game you own? Chances are you have enough stuff (games, movies, TV, whatever) to keep you busy to the point where something like this shouldn't even matter. Even if it was free would you really care about it? Would you go out of your way to download it and mess with it?

just to point out, the pre-order bonus only contain 1 mission where you ride shotgun in a police cruiser and do some car chase+firefight. That SWAT pack shows here seems to be something different.

Gotta say, I really enjoyed Sleeping Dogs. It's one of the few games in a while that I've done everything possible in. That said, the races I found too easy . This DLC is hard to get excited about. Still . . . Sleeping Dogs . . . don't sleep on it--great game.

@DharmaBum: The physics are unrealistic, but I find them enjoyable and effective. The vehicles control very tight which is a nice change of pace from unwieldy ridiculous drifting that is more realistic.

These aren't even skins. These are just extra races and missions.

exactly.

It's impo$$ible for them to pull off some story-based DLC.

/but I would have liked a "Emma Stone - this time for realz"-DLC 6 hr story, for example.

Sleeping Dogs' first story-driven game extension: details to be revealed at a special panel at New York Comic Con Panel on October 14

It'll happen.

First game I've officially S-ranked (non-Walking Dead) and gotta say I want more, but I rarely find dlc worth the price. The side effect this game gave me was that it made me want another Just Cause which technically I've S-ranked on PC and PS3 (either version is missing one achievement that the other has unlocked). Keep making awesome open-world games SquareEnix(or rather the ex-Eidos affiliations) and I'll keep buying them.

Definitely interested in DLC, but disappointed that there doesn't seem to be any story tied to these packs. Not sure I'll bother with more races in that case, but the SWAT Pack looks fun.

Story was ok, gameplay was alright, but kind of disappointing in the open world aspect. Gets old quick.

As far as New wave hong kong cinema goes that sleepy dogs is riffing off of, I would rather them pull from Johnnie To, like they did early in Sleepy Dogs, than say John Woo in the approach to this DLC like they towards the end. Alas Woo will always be the more popular approach because it's easier.

I've literally abandoned Sleeping dogs for the moment, not a wise move because I'm still learning how to fight, comes hard for me. Which is saying i'll be back, and will get this dlc also. Sleeping Dogs is too good.....

The boat races actually look pretty interesting. Hoping the Swat pack actually adds new missions, I'll have to pick it up if it does.

Sleepy Dogz

Pumped about this DLC (Sleepy Dogz is may favorite game in the last 5 months) additionally pumped about this quest victory. It's been a long time baby.
