Didn't we all get so excited when Just Cause 2's multiplayer mod got announced? And when it had been on hold for so long, they resumed work on it? Well Just Cause 2 doesn't seem to be the only singleplayer game with multiplayer potential. These modders started working on a multiplayer mod for Sleeping Dogs over half a year ago, and now there are some video proof to show for it!
Now, this video only shows some driving around, but at least compared to Just Cause 2 MP, there's NPC pedestrians walking about. Still, the mod will have some serious challenges ahead, especially due to the combat systems of the game, which are clearly not meant for multiplayer. For what it's worth though, this video shows off some impressive work, doing multiplayer for a game without netcode to begin with. I'm looking forward to seeing more from these guys, and what they can achieve.

I'm surprised these modders have not been hired yet by a company... this kind of talent doesn't normally go unnoticed so long :O
It's easier to make netcode for your own game while you make the game than to go in after launch as an outsider and create a whole MP/netcode for that game... its close to Mission Impossible and yet, here they are doing it like its a piece of cake (considering how fast they managed to work on the JC2 MP mod and how well it works now)
