Sleeping Dogs: Full Cantonese Audio?

[Rockman]

The demo was pretty effin' awesome but the English voices (a dub?) didn't feel suitable for the characters, so I'd like to ask, does it have full Cantonese voices/audio (Original language?) for the characters?

Thanks guys.

Sleeping Dogs is primarily voiced in English, sometimes with a Chinese accent, and spurts of authentic Cantonese spread throughout. I certainly wanted to have the entire game spoken in Cantonese with English subtitles—deliberately bumping into pedestrians to hear them curse at me is wonderfully nostalgic—but I understand that this was designed for a general American audience. The voice talent, featuring Will Yun Lee, Emma Stone, Tom Wilkinson, and Lucy Liu, can't be denied either.

It's sad that it doesn't have full Cantonese voices only for the game. The demo certainly felt cheesy with the English voices mixed up.

You could always import the JPN version of the game, presuming it has English subtitles, it wont be in English so will be more of the experience you are looking for i imagine.

That certainly would be a much better experience, but like you, neither am I sure if it has English subs.

The 360 Asian version has in bold "English and Cantonese voice during gameplay" , lists the subtitles as "English, French and German" and is region free.

Should be just what you are after: http://www.play-asia.com/Sleeping_Dogs/paOS-13-71-dw-49-en-70-52w9.html

The thing is, I'd prefer to have it in Cantonese, or even in Japanese although it's in Hong Kong.

I guess it's just a "fanwish". Damn why couldn't Square Enix include a full Cantonese audio.

The demo's English voices felt sometimes cheesy so that's not a good sign, maybe I'll then forgive and enjoy the game for what it's worth.

It says English and Cantonese but I think they mean English with Cantonese, just like the US/EU release. I honestly still enjoyed the game even the way it is. Of course being a True Crime fan might have a little something to do with it.
