Im generally pretty hostile to the entire idea of franchising after all, nowadays,everythingis a franchise.

We live in an era of sequels, remasters, reboots, and adaptations.

But therearegames that deserve sequels and never got them.

Aloy from Horizon surrounded by strips of film.

Sleeping Dogs is one of them.

But will Sony pull it off, or will we have another failure on our hands?

I thought Shang-Chi was mid, but it did pretty well with audiences and critics.

Hes just aguyto me, which is fine.

I do not need to have any feelings about the majority of celebrities out there.

However, one thing he does that Idoappreciate is that hes big on Asian representation and rights.

Hes published a memoir about being from a Chinese immigrant family.

Hes written a column for Varietyspeaking out against Asian hate crimes.

According toIGN, the movie is in pre-production and Liu will be producing and starring as Wei Shen.

That, Idocare about.

It felt closer to home than any video game I played in that era.

In a way, Sleeping Dogs was ahead of its time.

It was ultimately considered to be a commercial failure, witha sequel scrapped in late 2013.

Nobody can really say for sure.

Perfectly good games launch and fail all the time, especially now.

But I do think that Sleeping Dogs was dealt a bad hand.

Maybe the sequel will bring it past good and be great.
