Overall Sleeping Dogs Definitive Edition is a solid upgrade on the original release, and offers a good chance to grab a game and all of its DLC to players who skipped it back in 2012. There’s a fun Halloween themed DLC mission pack, a fighting tournament in the vein of Mortal Kombat, and even some outfits and costumes from iconic Square Enix characters. The Sleeping Dogs DLC went in a few different directions and most all of it was solid. The biggest bonus here might be the addition of all the DLC with this new package. There seem to be more people on the streets, which adds to the overall feel of Hong Kong (which was one of the initial release’s best features) and the changing weather and time of day help make the game feel more alive. I’d say The Last of Us Remastered looks a bit better overall, but for an open world game Sleeping Dogs looks very good, some areas better than others.Īside from pure graphic fidelity there are not a ton of new upgrades to the game. Now, we’re not talking top next-gen graphics here, as this is still a port, but it does look better. Strolling down the night market area of the city you are bombarded by neon signs that pop more, bigger crowds yelling at you to buy noodles, and puddles of water on the ground that reflect the world around it. I also noticed rain and puddles on the ground looking even better, which is crazy given that the rain “look” in the original release was one of the best looking parts of the game. Textures are better (specifically on Wei’s clothing) and the lighting has gotten a boost. The first thing most will notice is the boost graphically. That time is nearly upon us, so let’s take a look at how the next-gen debut of the franchise compares to the original release.Īs the game has already been out and been reviewed I want to try to steer this review to look more at the new things or upgrades to this definitive edition. Fast forward to 2014, Square Enix announces that a definitive edition of the game will launch (with all DLC) on Xbox One and PlayStation 4. With borrowed mechanics from some of the industries hot titles ( Batman‘s combat, for instance), Sleeping Dogs quickly became a cult classic with many gamers itching for that GTA-style open world experience set in a new and foreign locale. After multiple GTA games in American cities it was a bit of a breath of fresh air to have a game set in Hong Kong, and have it recreate the city and feel of the country as well as it did. It was a fun and engaging game about undercover police and gang wars in Hong Kong on top of a Grand Theft Auto open world framework, and did it very well. Sleeping Dogs was one of the *ahem* sleeper hits when it first launched on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC back in 2012.
