The sequel to Sleeping Dogs, Triad Wars is going to be Windows exclusive, set in the same universe in Hong Kong. Players will take the role of a criminal leader to take over Hong Kong. 

 

"It's your city to claim and how you do it is entirely up to you," reads a statement on the game's official website.

 

Starting today at 12 p.m. Pacific, the studio will do a Reddit AMA

So Square Enix finally accepted PC masterrace?

PC exclusive, until it's not anymore.

[LePawel]

P$4 and Xbox On£ will get Remastered HD Extended Editor's Paper Cut Edition of it for just 79.99 later that year

It won't stay pc exclusive.

we will see how long it says PC exclusive, but it's nice none the less

As good as some people might think this is (because the majority of the forum members are PC gamers), I would say otherwise.

Platform exclusives are not the way forward IMO. If you want to sell a game (or any product for that matter) surely it is best to release it on as many platforms as possible, so as many sales can be achieved as possible.

I doubt this game will be exclusive for long.

pc exclusive= hmm not bad.

windows exclusive= ughhh...

Technically the new consoles are low end PC's, so they wouldn't be lying if they released on console.

As someone who lives in Hong Kong, I  feel that this game doesn't really portray criminal activity here in a very reflective manner.  I think of organised crime as much more embedded into society and certainly more like a business - contrary to all the hack and slashing I've observed so far.  

 

Nonetheless, I played Sleeping Dogs and enjoyed it a fair bit. It's' definitely nice seeing Hong Kong under the spot light, but generally not for the best of reasons.

Disagree: A PC exclusive has the benefits of console exclusives which is generating interest yet none of the drawbacks like poor performance, pay for Internet multi-player, etc.

[Valentyn]

Oh? I should probably get around to actually playing the current game.

[c.bert]

yes

yes but at least if they start the development with pc in mind then it will be better and then finally scaled down

[Captain_Slow]

who gives a rat's ass if it's exclusive?

 

skyrim wasnt exclusive but it was a good game and it ran well on the PC,

 

I dont care as long as it's nothing like Watchdogs.

[brownninja97]

IM not sure what to think about for this at the moment.

did you just say skyrim ran well?? it didnt run well on anything

[TJ_Hack3r]

Woot! take that console peasant

[lachyman]

GTA Style game in HK? Looks great, I loved the original.

[StingBull]

The only reason Square Enix would do this is if the first game sold mostly on PC (like more then 75%) and really didn't sell on the consoles.

ran fine on my rig, ultrabook, HTPC, and Xbox 360.

[razor767]

It this means it will be well optimised then I'm all for it. They can always port it to consoles at a later time.

That is honestly pretty dumb. I don't understand, why any gamer, would want other gamers to not be able to enjoy a game, just because of their choice of hardware. From a business standpoint, it's dumb too, as you cut off millions of potential sales, which could help fund your next game. I hope this is like GTA5, where a version for other hardware comes out later.

I think it will release later on consoles.

 

Right now,they can focus on their PC version without worrying about the rest.
