Random trivia: Uncle Po's voice actor, James Hong, voiced "Ancient Wu" in True Crime Streets of LA. If you guys and gals remember well, Sleeping Dogs was originally going to be a True Crime game.
@@panicatthechimicalfallout546 Edison Chen was involved in a huge sex tape scandal. He slept with tons of women and videotaped them. The videos were leaked.
I think they did the right thing. Since the game is marketed towards English speaking players, players can relate to the protagonist more. Also I think it symbolizes his status as an outsider everywhere: either in Hong Kong or SF, and as a triad member or a cop.
Dragonic159 your a jerk how are people who speak english gonna play you ever thought of that your just thinking about you and everyone who speaks like you
Wei Shen's actor was Iori Yagami in the King of Fighters movie. Conroy's actor was Mortal Kombat's Liu Kang. Raymond's actor was Ryu in Street Fighter the Movie. All movie characters based on video games, now game characters being in a movie-like game.
I knew I got a rush hour vibe when I played this game. Two rush hour actors are voice actors in this game :) It could’ve been so cool if they also had Jackie Chan and Chris tucker play as themselves in this game but as a cameo
@King Croft Sleeping Dogs is the most authentic game you can get, ever. The way characters speak to each other is exactly how they would, especially with that clever way they ensure how characters effortlessly code switch between English and Cantonese, the way the Chinese Diaspora do, from Hong Kong, to Malaysia, to the USA. They also ensured extremely traditional characters like Mrs Chu only speak Cantonese, the same way many members of the older generation do. You may not know this, must a large percentage of younger Asians living in cities like Singapore, Hong Kong, and even Kuala Lumpur are effectively bilingual or multi-lingual. The accents in this game are 100% legit. Also... UK English. Wei Shen is the only Asian character that speaks with American coded English, while Uncle Po, Aunt Jiang, Raymond and Pockmark Cheung all speak British English. Makes complete sense considering Wei Shen migrated to the USA and back, and HK has been a British Crown Colony for a hundred years.
@@zaurorablue6493 actually he does that once, he uses pok guy when you do the side mission with doctor tang to unlock the dzs-90 armored supercar, when you’re in the car shooting at 18k but yeah i wish they made will yun lee speak a bit more cantonese :/
@@1Invinc Huh? Have you HEARD local Hong Kongers speak english? Bruh, like I love Hong Kong, but people CANNOT switch back and forth with the degree of fluency in this game. Especially low tier gang members.
I Knew James Hong's voice right off. Kelly Hu too. Couple of thoughts: Elizabeth Sung looks like the asian version of my mother. I recognize most of the male actor's faces. The Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter connection is kinda funny.
They really went all out finding voice actors for this game, impressive and pleased they kept it all Asian as well. Big stars like Lucy Liu.,Kelly Hu.Emma Stone, ..Tom Wilkinson . And somehow I kinda knew Uncle Po is played by James Hong(Big Trouble in Little China, Seinfeld "restaurant" fame) , he has been in a ton of movie/shows since the 50's.
The main character in this game reminds me of the cop thats with Tom Berenger in Sniper 3, then I watched the rest of this video and he voiced acted 2 characters >_>
