The cooperative experience would have been enhanced through the use of procedurally generated missions that would have evaluated a hostвЂ™s single-player game status and put together a campaign based on a number of in-game components. Everything from vehicle races, fight clubs, and battles would have been available in co-op play modes. However, the title would also have supported cooperative play, with solo and team support and access to missions and challenges that could be attacked in groups. Player-to-player interaction would therefore essentially have been at one remove, in a fashion described as вЂњusing the cloud saves of all players to determine the global neighborhood crime levels across all games, and then mapping that crime to the difficulty level in policing those neighborhoods in the individualвЂ™s games.вЂќ Waypoint

In addition, United Front Games was working toward a vision that it called вЂњmassively single player,вЂќ where although each player would only interact within their own world and with NPCs, their actions would impact the worlds being played in by other players. The game would also have touched on some of todayвЂ™s most common themes, including mobile devices, cloud services, and what sounds a lot like chatbots, but these elements did not have any real meat behind them in the early stages of the gameвЂ™s development. Sleeping Dogs 2 would have been just as large a game as the original, with a complex storyline and such nuances as the ability of players to arrest any non-player character (NPC). Although the title was under serious consideration, it never made it past the conceptual and early development phases and was never in production. New information has been revealed that indicates the sequel would have been an ambitious effort, as Waypoint reports.ДЄccording to some documents that Waypoint was able to procure, Sleeping Dogs 2 was conceived as early as 2013 and canceled later that same year. Unfortunately, the gameвЂ™s developer, United Front Games, went out of business in October 2016.Д®ven more unfortunate is that the developer was working on a sequel to Sleeping Dogs that now will never see the light of day, much to the chagrin of the titleвЂ™s many fans. Sleeping Dogs is an open-world adventure game that generated a cult following enamored with the titleвЂ™s expansive environment, intricate hand-to-hand combat system, and casting of Emma Stone in a lead role.
