Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition is set to karate chop its way onto the PlayStation 4 this October with a whole raft of improvements – none of which are demonstrated in the re-release’s debut trailer. Rather than show off the new textures and effects, publisher Square Enix has instead opted for a high-octane live action video to confirm the leaked title, which, honestly, doesn’t make much sense.
Either way, the package will include every single one of the original game’s 24 pieces of downloadable content, including story-based add-ons ‘Year of the Snake’ and ‘Nightmare in North Point’. And, as already alluded, the retread will boast more than a mere resolution bump, too. “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,” said senior producer Dan Sochan.
We’ve included the release’s ridiculous live action trailer in the space below, but the screenshots embedded in the article should give you an idea as to the package’s graphical improvements. Are you looking forward to this? Scream kiai in the comments section below.

I dont even care if its a re-release, there arent enough games like it out there. Donning the Wing Chun outfit and rolling punching bad guys is awesome!
I never played it last-gen. So, heck yeah I'm excited to hear more on it!
The lighting looks flat in the screenshots. All three of the images are incredibly detailed, but they don't look 'natural'.
I'm intrigued by this "tuned gameplay" comment.
Can't Wait.
Didn't buy the first game, but this looks awesome.
I remember hearing that square enix did a great job on the pc version, my guess is that this is basically the pc version with all the dlc.
I want this game. But cant pre-order it from where i usually pre-order games. :/
Oct. is a bad release month for this, it should have at least been around Jan of 2015 or something. I may have bought this if it was in Jan., but there are to many games in Oct. that are coming out that I want.
I played it to death when I got it via PS+ on the PS3...it deserved more attention than it got, I thought it was a good game that didn't deserve to be dismissed adjust another GTA wannabe.
And i am Scream KAIIIIAAAIIIIII
First of all, A MAN WHO DOESNT HAVE A PORK BUN IS NEVER A WHOOOLEE MAAAN!!
Wish I hadn't platinumd this already. One of my fave games last gen, and as an open world crime game, personally I found it wayyyyy better than the overrated GTA5. If anyone missed it last gen, be sure to pick this up. It was largely overlooked, which is shame, cos it's just a solid, fun game, with excellent fighting and driving mechanics.
OK sorry, had to post a 9 min video of pork bun guy quotes: http://youtu.be/C2giwC3AGy8
We know it's 1080p but is it 60fps also? It's a really good game, but I don't think I would buy it again, but it all depends on the RRP.
@Demi_God Yeah I think releasing the game this year is a bad idea as well.
I refuse to be made in to a cash cow for Devs.
Great game but these tweaked releases for New Gen are getting annoying.
Never played it so I will consider getting when its cheap maybe on Black Friday or something. There's just too many games coming out and I won't be able to get them all.
Never played it before, I may get it but I'd rather get GTA5
