To be honest, both threads can exist for both sides. It's fine.
There are some really cliché (or paper-thin) storylines that still make great action movies, like Dredd, John Wick, or The Man from Nowhere.

As much as this is going to be a repeat of some of the roles he has already played, ill still be there day one to see Yen as Wei Shen!
I love Donnie Yen and I'm excited for more Sleeping Dogs, but he's about 20 years older than I imagined Wei Shen to be.
I hope this means the franchise isn't dead in terms of more games though.

This revives the chances of Sleeping Dogs 2 being real which on one hand i think it's fucking great. On the other hand, i feel the formula would be better applied GTA style. With a new protagonist and story to the sequel.
Although, i would not kick a Remake of the original Sleeping Dogs out of bed...

Holy fuck. I heard about this last year, but never thought it would actually get made. Take it it's still on track for this year?

Wow I loved that game and I am going to Hong Kong in July if the nonstop gunfights with guns that don't need reloading , does not start the second I get off the airplane I will be very disappointed.
This looks cool though

I know! I am watching it right now and he is awesome.
I want proper Sleeping Dogs 2 most of all :(
Still heads and fucking shoulders above any GTA or other urban crime game. It was sincere and had me hooked from start to finish.
Really excited for this project, and here's hoping it rekindles Square Enix's interest in the franchise. At this point I'm even willing to take a sequel even if it's not from a ex-UFG team. Just give me anything! ;_;
I'm not going to hold out much hope for this, given the pretty appalling track record for game adaptations.
That being said Sleeping Dogs is a good fit. There's not too much story to cram in, though it's pretty similar in premise to a lot of other films. One thing that was said about Sleeping Dogs is that there was nothing original about it but it came together into a satisfying game. I imagine at best the film will be a fairly by the numbers Hong Kong crime film because, ultimately, that's what the game was.

There is one full episode told in flashback, he is on screen almost entire run. Made me super happy since I like him a lot (but Joel Kinnaman who plays him in present is awesome too).
