Square Enix Confirms Sleeping Dogs Definitive Edition
Square Enix and United Front Games today confirms that Sleeping Dogs Definitive Edition is due to launch on the 10th October 2014 in European and PAL territories for the PlayStation 4 computer entertainment system, the Xbox One, the all-in-one games and entertainment system from Microsoft, and Windows PC.
Sleeping Dogs Definitive Edition is a re-mastered update of the critically acclaimed Sleeping Dogs which released in 2012. The capabilities of today’s hardware have truly brought the vibrant Hong Kong experience to life. In addition, a total of 24 pieces of downloadable content have been integrated into the gaming experience including the story-extending episode Year of the Snake and the horror-themed add-on Nightmare In North Point.
“It was an exciting opportunity for the original development team to be able revisit a game we’re so passionate about”, said Dan Sochan, Senior Producer at United Front Games. “We’re giving old and new fans a lot reasons to pick up the game, as we’ve gone beyond just increasing resolution and running at 1080p. We listened to the fans: we tuned gameplay, we added to the ambience of Hong Kong, increased audio fidelity and pushed the visuals further than we could on the previous generation of consoles.”
“Sleeping Dogs was a huge success and bringing it to the new generation of consoles was an easy decision” said Jon Brooke, Vice President of Brand and European Marketing at Square Enix Europe. “Updated visuals and the inclusion of all the downloadable content really makes this the Definitive Edition of the game.”
In Sleeping Dogs Definitive Edition you explore the seedy underbelly of Hong Kong, as Wei Shen, a conflicted undercover cop, tasked with battling the ruthless Triads and his inner demons to take down the Dragon Head. Play on either side of the law, with Cop and Triad missions, as you manoeuvre through the ranks of the organisation. Featuring an unmatched and brutal martial arts system, movie-style shootouts, and high-speed racing – Sleeping Dogs’ Hong Kong is the ultimate open world playground.

At the rate we're going, who needs new games for this generation?Comment

Fine with me. I wish Sony would find a way to release the Uncharted games as a Definitive Collection.

I really don't get why'd you want to replay this game again when there are so many you haven't.Comment

I honestly don't want this to sound as douchie as it is going to sound but: the answer seems to be...BECAUSE GRAPHICS!!!1
I also don't get it. I also don't get that there are people in the world that will scoff at the price tag of a new, downloadable game, because it's $15 or $20 when they think that it should be $10 or $15, yet they will pay $40+ for a game that they've already played with slightly improved graphics.Comment

Because I love the game that much. I originally bought it for PS3. I did everything including all the DLC and got the platinum. Then I bought it for 360, granted for like $20, and did everything on that version.
The graphics are hardly why I want to buy it again. If a WiiU version came our I'd probably get that too. Vita? Absolutely. I support games that I really enjoy, especially ones that didn't meet sales expectations. If that can help a sequel I'm all for it.
As far as the issue with remasters, isn't this only the third one? Tomb Raider, TLOU and now this? All of which I consider amazing games, with TLOU possibly being the best I've ever played. I also bought TR on both PS3 and 360 and would've done the same with TLOU if it were multi platform.
You guys buy what you want, I'll buy what I want.

Well, for one, being surprised that people do something isn't an indictment of them doing it. I don't think myself or Buzz indicated that you shouldn't buy what you want. I just personally think that it's crazy that people will often talk about the lack of creativity in games when they're talking about annual franchises like AC or COD, but then they'll turn around and buy some remastered thing. Or that they'll complain about the price of a downloadable game to the tune of $5 difference. It seems a little crazy to me, personally.
And yes, this is only the third one of this generation, but this generation JUST STARTED. That's not a good thing. Last generation got a little ridiculous with the HD releases, but at least that was somewhat late in the console cycle. We're STARTING this console cycle with games that were released fairly recently. The quality of the games being remastered is neither here nor there.
Finally, it's great that you're up for supporting a game that you love. I'm 100% with you in that respect. I will buy anything that Platinum puts out, even if it stinks, because I love their games and I want them to keep doing them, even if they throw a turd out every now and then. Same with Ed McMillen. His games are fucking weird, but I will support almost all of them if it means that one might turn out to be another Binding of Isaac or Super Meat Boy. My issue was less about supporting what you love and more about the fact that so many of these publishers are completely devoid of creativity anymore. I want to see Sleeping Dogs 2! I don't want to see Sleeping Dogs 1 with some slightly improved textures.Last edited by SethMode; 08-09-2014, 09:21 AM.Comment

I'm really not seeing any of the technical issues that many reviews mentioned baout this game. The game looks sexy as hell. I haven't noticed any frame dips, pop in, etc. I know a lot of people avoided buying it because of that stuff and I honestly have no idea what those people are referring to.
