Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition revealed for PS4, Xbox One

Sleeping Dogs is coming to the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, a listing on Amazon reveals.

[scark92]

I did not really like Sleeping Dogs that much, it was fun at first, but I did find it a bit boring, it did have a interesting story, I would not be surprised if Hitman Absolution came to PS4 after this if true.

[badz149]

seriously, just like TR Definitive Edition released earlier, there was already the definitive version of the game ON PC when it released! SE is going crazy and yeah...if this is true, Hitman, Dues EX HR might follow suit!

porting from pc is such an easy task now with the new consoles, SE is taking advantage of it like this! this is ridiculous!

[Abash]

People can say what they want, but Im VERY happy about this. I love Sleeping Dogs and cant wait to play it on PS4

[Mr Pumblechook]

With GTA V next-gen on the horizon I think Sleeping Dogs HD missed its window for the big time.

[cemelc]

Im proud to say that i havent bought a single remastered for my ps4, i rather have no games than double dip, unless the double dip comes from plus so i wouldnt mind.

Even the last of us, that i consider a masterpiece and one of my all time favorites didnt make me do it, sure as hell a 7/10 game wont make me do it.

[Kivespussi]

@Mr Pumblechook

Don't think so since they are two completely different games. Seriously they have almost nothing in common. They're open world and you can drive cars. Other than that the gameplay is really different

[GarrusVakarian]

And just like I predicted before I entered this article...we have tons of people overreacting and whining about this, despite the fact that a *new* Sleeping Dogs game is in development right now also, (which anyone would know if they bothered to do a quick Google search):

http://www.eurogamer.net/ar...

So we are getting a NEW Sleeping Dogs game, and a remake. Wtf is everyone whining about, exactly? So many people are saying "this crap needs to stop"....why does it? If a company is making new games as well as remaking old ones, then how is that in any possible way a bad thing? I see it as a good way to get some extra revenue to put towards current and future projects...and anyone who didn't play it last-gen gets a new game for their current-gen system. It's literally win-win.

Bunch of drama queens. I doubt the majority of you even know why you're so opposed to remasters/remakes, you just jump on the bandwagon of irrational hate. It's not an A or B option people, we don't get *either* a remaster or a new game, we can (and will) get both.

I mean, if this was their only game in development right now, if they were putting other projects on hold in order to make this remaster, then I would understand the hate 100%...but that isn't what's happening here.

[GTgamer]

Why do people complain about something that won't effect them ಠ_ಠ.

[Orange]

@cemelc Maybe consider picking up Last of Us when you can get a copy around $20 or so.

You don't really notice the graphic upgrade since you're not playing a side-by-side comparison, but it's a different experience with the controller. Much more enjoyable aiming with the bow or a hunter rifle scope.

[gfk342]

I cannot stand these definite editions or remastered editions anymore. In the end, the fault is oirs because we buy these remakes and they are, in fact, an easy way to make money for developers. Majority of developers are focusing on launching such remakes. When they will stop? I know I don't have the obligation to buy but I fear that we will have an inflation of such games and very few new IP.

[NatureOfLogic_]

The first year of new consoles will be remembered as the year of remasters. That's not a good start to the gen. I'm hoping that next year will be extremely better.

[Mr Pumblechook]

I've got no problem with a remake, I'm currently enjoying TLOU Remastered. But for me Autumn & Christmas means a lot of games coming out and I have limited time and a limited budget. There's more game to choose from. So if Sleeping Dogs was released in July or August there would have been so much less competition and it could have sold a lot more.

[ABizzel1]

@badz149

I agree a bit.

Porting from PC is exactly why these games are crossing over so quickly. Simply take the PC version, improve the character models, use High -> Ultra Settings, FXAA, aim for 1080p @ 60fps, and drop it on the consoles.

Personally I don't see anything wrong with it. It's giving good games a second chance, and allows console gamers can finally see what PC gamers have been enjoying for a while (and could possibly get more console gamers into the PC space).

I know there are those who disagree, but in reality these games aren't taking up huge amount of resources as many of you seem to think. Most of these are handled by 3rd party developer who specifically port games for a living (IE: PSASBR Vita, TitanFall 360, and more), or it's handled by a small group of developers while the main team focuses on the New IP or sequel.

And even if it's the latter there are great benefits such as allowing developers to become familiar with the consoles so their New IP's or sequels are in top shape for 2015 / 2016, and it fills the void of no games that new consoles generally suffer from if you missed one of these games. Even if these Definitive Editions didn't come out, you wouldn't get Tomb Raider 2, Halo 5, The Last of Us 2, or Sleeping Dogs 2 any quicker, and if you did then chances are they'd be rushed games, and you'd complain about them not being as good as the other game. Just sit back, chill, and pass over it if it's not a game you want or something you want to support. No one is making you buy it.

I think the main concern about these games simply needs to be pricing. Regardless if they feel it's $85 worth of content, it's still an old game, and just a single game at that so it shouldn't be priced over $40.

For those interest here's what you'll be playing come October, with possible better looking character models.

https://www.youtube.com/wat...

The video is locked at 30fps, so if it ends up being like Tomb Raider: DE (also made by Square) then that's what the XBO version should look like, with the PS4 version having an unlocked framerate.

@Lukas & GTGamer

I completely agree.

[memots]

lol let the hate begin. Unless that was reserve only to sony remaster/definitive edition?

[SonyPS4]

I knew it. What I said about the announcement of Tomb Raider DE on some other site that companies are going to flood the market with cheap ports of last gen games. This is indeed the future of gaming.

Between the majority of the PS4/Xbox ONE game catalog being multi gen titles, definitive editions, and sub par sequels of great franchises, this new generation is the laziest generation that ever graced gaming.

[badz149]

Somehow, somebody wants to make this a fanboy argument, ha?

This is the case of publisher being lazy! Simple as that, nothing else. It's no secret that PS4 and Xbone have made porting from pc easier and the fact that SE is taking advantage of it by simply porting the pc version (at least) high setting and slapped "definitive edition" on the box while charging full price is what I consider as ridiculous!

TR was nowhere near "definitive" as it was only 30fps on the Xbone and not constant 60fps on PS4 either! You know why? Because it's a simple port without any significant optimization to the code whatsoever! ND has shown a "remastered" version done right with significant improvements @1080p 60fps. 343i is also currently impresses with promising improvements for their MC Collection. These are games people haven't experience at 1080p 60fps before and I think their respective remastered version are justified.

On the other hand, these games SE is passing as "definitive edition" are clearly pc versions and SE is trying to cash in easy on them! This action shouldn't be condoned or we'll see others follow suit. Maybe it's a bit too late as Metro Redux is releasing real soon. But at least, it's a 2 games pack unlike what SE is doing!

[slimeybrainboy]

Therew's something wrong with your point. Some people other than you might enjoy it, maybe most wont, but so what? Selfish attitude.

[diehardmetallicafan]

i would def buy deus ex hr definitive edition!

[ShinMaster]

The Definitive Edition of TR had more effects and a few additions and changes that the PC version did not have. It looked better too.
____

I LOVED Sleeping Dogs. Even though I was hoping for a sequel. I willing to replay this once more.
It was great. It was my favorite open world game last year next to Skyrim.
It had better hand-to-hand combat, driving, story pacing, etc, than the overrated GTA4.

[BattleAxe]

If this overload of remasters doesn't tip people off to what's in store...or rather what's not in store for this generation, then there's no hope for gaming. This is really a sad state of affairs.

[UltraNova]

Well I didnt play this last gen so I'm one of those 'lucky' people, I guess...

[Wizard_King]

So lets just remake every game that came out last gen.

>yeah that sounds great

\s

Just get a gaming PC people then then you never need remakes as the originals never stop working and you get actual NEW games coming out non stop.

[MuhammadJA]

I hope all last gen's games gets remastered. We don't want new IPs. Remastered and Definitive editions of games are better and easy money for devs because they sell either way...

[Gamer1982]

Whiule poeple buy these S-E will sell and its easy money asporting from PC is reletivly easy to new consoles.

[kingdom18]

I would actually really like a remaster (blah blah blah) of Hitman Absolution, I got it for free so I wouldn't mind buying it for the PS4 in the future.

[Heisenburger]

A man who never have pork bun...

[MajorLazer]

...Is never a real man (Not sure if that's the exact wording :P)

[sourav93]

...is never a whoooole man! :P

[Bathyj]

Ha. I have a friend from Singapore. She loves it when I say that.

[Magicite]

I guess struggling Japanese devs (square enix, capcom, etc.) gonna remake most of their best games for this gen consoles.
Its definitely not a bad thing, now we can enjoy previous gen hits in glorious 1080p/60fps and probably even for a discount price.

[spacedelete]

i'm starting to think owning a console last gen was pointless if every company just releases their last gen games on next gen and also makes owning a last gen console pointless as well.

i'm not sure if most last gen games should even be remastered as most games last gen were boring. this also makes PlayStation Now completely pointless as well. why stream games for 4 hours when its cheaper to buy the remaster in the long term ?

[tee_bag242]

You mean owning a console this gen.

[showtimefolks]

played it for an hour fun game, heard the main story is only like 10 hours long.(really short for an open world game)

fun gameplay but the hacking gameplay is just frustrating

[scark92]

When I think about it, I was trying to complete a few games that were after it so maybe I rushed it more than took it in, I did shamefully like the True Crime games xD

[Bathyj]

I loved the hacking in Sleeping Dogs. Wasnt frustrating, just took a tiny bit of skill. Something lacking nowdays.

[Amplitude]

this game had SO MUCH really fun story-based DLC that released nonstop that like nobody played.

It'd be cool if they added it all here.

[FanboyKilla]

yesss! great game. this is sweet. that combat though.

[Syntax-Error]

THERE'S NO NEXT GEN GAMES!!! They released NEXT GEN consoles without games and are trying to make money of rehashed games as a cash grab. If you people keep supporting this nonsense, this will become the new trend. We have never seen this in VIDEO GAME HISTORY before NOW. The fact that they are RE-releasing all these games is a slap in the face. I will never support this foolishness

[700p]

Agreed.

[Gamer1982]

Carry on not buying and miss out on great games because it suits you but the sad fact is there is demand for this sort of thing and while theres demand there will be supply. Especially since its cheap to port and games are so damn expensive to make these days. Not every company can keep pumping $500 million into a new game in the hope it will succeed. So get off your high horse and realise companys need money from these bundles/remasters to stay alive and to make new games people like you will actually buy.

[HugoDrax]

I enjoyed Sleeping Dogs, and actually got 1000G. I never got around to playing any of the DLC, but I was interested in playing them. I remember the Enter The Dragon DLC lol, I thought that was pretty cool :-).

[ovnipc]

After this square Enix take the price for milking games. Make new games instead. Not buying this got t for free.

[aquamala]

PS3 and 360 version were sub-HD so they might as well call this Sleeping Dogs HD Edition

[GundalfDeGrej]

Or just "Sleeping Dogs" for short because it's the same game.

[Infamous298]

that was completely unnecessary.

[ape007]

absolutely

[ABizzel1]

Why? A sequel is coming, it allows people to play the game if they skipped it on PS360 (due to too many games being out) on PS4 / XBO (since there aren't many games out), and it gives the developer experience with the new consoles so Sleeping Dogs 2 comes out as if it were their second game made for the PS4/XBO, vs. a iffy first wave game (technologically speaking).

[spacedelete]

sooner or later these companies will run out of games to remaster. after this year i doubt there will be many remastered games.its just companies cashing in on empty year for next gen.

[Goro]

If that comment was made on TLOU Remastered then it would be bombarded with disagrees.
I bet when the Uncharted remasters get announced, which they obviously will, you guys will have completely different mindsets because "yay Naughty Dog and golden Sony, we hate Microsoft because they're our perfect Sony's rival.

[beerzombie]

I was just thinking that. The last of us was a cash grab to of a game that did not need to be made.

[Agent_hitman]

Unncessary?.. Are you serious?, but when ND re-released the TLOU remastered, everyone here at N4G rejoice as if the game is new..

That kind of comment makes me laugh..

[lets_go_gunners]

Buy the pc version for lke 5 dollars during a sale. Download the free community HD textures. Get a better looking game than the ps4 and xbox one versions will ever look.

[Volkama]

PC version looks pretty slick even without mods, and it's actually a good game.

Remasters are not for me, but I guess it's a good low cost low risk way to flesh out the game catalogues for the new consoles.

[GTgamer]

If only everyone PC was on the same level as yours.

[ABizzel1]

You could simply buy a GTX 750 Ti ($150, but I got one for a steal of $75), and boom your old PC is now pushing XBO / PS4 graphics. It won't crush the PS4 and XBO, but it'll be comparable.

The excuse for not having a gaming PC is all but dead now among gamers. It's really that easy. Buy the GPU, plug it in the PCI slot, download the drivers from NVIDIA, and you're gaming.

If you have an older computer laying around, and you went out and bought a new console, then you can just as easily have a gaming PC.

[ABizzel1]

@Lets_go_gunners

Well that depends on the GPU you have, and for most console gamers, building a PC is out of the question (especially one that gets better looking games than the PS3 and XBO version). Although they could just as easily buy a 750 Ti, and have a gaming PC that's right there with their new console.

So for them this is still a good deal, and shows what high end PC gamers were playing compared to the PS360 versions.

[danny818]

played it for psplus lol it was kind of weak

[Hellsvacancy]

To be fair it did have "some" fun moments, I did quite like some of it but it was just a bit meh, I never actually finished it

[danny818]

me either.

[GundalfDeGrej]

This is starting to feel like a joke...

What makes it even more funny is how they can't just call it "Sleeping Dogs". No, they have to have remastered/definitive edition in there in order to make it a "new" game. You don't call CoD: Ghosts for next-gen "definitive edition" because it has higher resolution and textures.

Yeah, yeah. "Don't like it, don't buy it" whatever.

[Monkeycan8]

Don't like it, don't buy it ;)

[NatureOfLogic_]

It's pathetic to see gamers settle for anything on their new consoles. These remasters are getting out of hand. $60 for resolution upgrade. No thanks. Easy money for dev/pub due to the thirst for more games on the new consoles.

[GarrusVakarian]

But we're getting a new Sleeping Dogs too....

http://www.eurogamer.net/ar...

So what's the issue with them remastering an old title, which is COMPLETELY OPTIONAL, if it's going to net them more money to put towards the new SD, or any other games they have in development?

What exactly about this is pathetic?

[NatureOfLogic_]

@ Lukas, If they didn't make enough money on the first game to put towards a new SD, then maybe they shouldn't make a new SD to begin with. This is nothing more than a easy cash grab for thirsty gamers. I find it pathetic that this is becoming a trend. I know it's completely optional. Just like mobile ftp paywalls/ microtransactions, you'll get some to bite. I don't like this new trend of remasters of last gen starting to happen only one year after new consoles have been released. It's quite pathetic in my opinion. The new consoles should have been delayed for one year if the best they have to offer so far are remasters of previous generation games.

[Dirtnapstor]

As long as this generation doesn't become dubbed the remastered generation, I'm good with it. Plenty of goodness to come, much of this is filler until then I'm sure.

[spacedelete]

sadly these remasters will sell as you have a choice of a remastered game or nothing to play on the next gen consoles as most of the next gen games got delayed to next year. i have a feeling this is the game industry trolling us all for buying next gen so early.

[Salooh]

Not buying this. I bought the last of us again because it was a masterpiece and it had an intense multiplayer . I don't see any reason to play this game again :P . It's stupid to assume that they will get the same sales of the last of us remastered .

[Brim]

Sooo now can we talk about how out of hand these "Remakes" are getting?..

[Hellsvacancy]

Ohhhhhh there will be more, it won't surprise me if Alien Colonial Marines gets a remaster

[Palitera]

Even Flower and those Pixeljunk junk game were rereleased...

Expect much more to come. MUCH more.

[Brim]

If this continues then 3 years down the road they're going to reRerelease Tomb Raider, GTAV as if any of this is needed .. its pathetic

[Bhuahahaha]

okaaaaay this hd thing is getting out of hand/control now

[CaEsAr-]

uh oh, we had enough of these money grab deals. This generation is going wrong, we already played this boring game.

[MasterCornholio]

Did anyone ask for this?

I can understand GTAV and TLOU but this seems unnecessary in my opinion.

Oh well its great for those who wanted to play this on nextgen systems.

[blakstarz]

I actually liked this game.....but these remakes and remasters are getting out of control here.

[oSHINSAo]

STOP WITH THE REMAKES !!!!!! if i want to play resident evil 2, i play it in a PS emulator, or in 64. Let the new kids know the consoles we used to play plus the level of difficulty

[DeadlyOreo]

This is about Sleeping Dogs lol. Good luck playing that on your N64.

[oSHINSAo]

this is about, REMAKES, no one asks for NEW IPS these days...

[user7402931]

dont like it? complain until your blue in the face and insult people who are excited for it online

or

dont buy it, play the games you like and be happy.

[scark92]

I guess these are for those who have not played the games, as I would like certain games last gen that I have not played to be on PS4, I do enjoy however PS2 and before remasters quite alot

[Doge]

So what you're saying is basically "Shut up or shut up".

[mcarsehat]

Good, i would like the play the game again. I will wait until it goes to £15 just like Tomb Raider did after a few weeks.

[BattleTorn]

I wasn't a huge fan of Sleeping Dogs when I played it.

The graphical improvements would have to be jawdropping for me to have the slightest interest in replaying that game

[desertpunk86]

i don't like all this remakes for this gen if it makes sense then yea like a 10 year old game or resident evil because you know it was a gamecube exclusive and do we really get good resident evil games all the time?last one was revelations but games like the last of us or this or tomb raider doesn't make sense how about a socom 2 remake but thats not going to happen because sony is broke.

i don't care about 1080p 60fps spend those resources making new games for this gen,the past is the past leave it at that unless is halo 2 or socom 2.

[WeAreLegion]

This is getting to be a bit much. They do remakes every generation. That's normal. But we're getting a LOT of these things. Capcom is in a pretty big hole right now though, so I understand where they're coming from.

Still. Knock it off.

[WeAreLegion]

I meant Square Enix. Not Capcom. Lol. Sorry.

[OC_MurphysLaw]

I rather enjoyed the game but I don't think an up-res version is going to be enough of a draw.

[Cherchez La Ghost]

Ok..., what's really going on?! Is this the definition of "milking"?!

[OtakuDJK1NG-Rory]

yes

[cyril sneer]

@Cherchez La Ghost

or maybe it's just a new definition remarstered milking.

[ScorpiusX]

Cool loved Sleeping Dog , looking forward to playing it again . Hope they added mote story about that boss lady at the end.

[TXIDarkAvenger]

Story was great but after I completed it there wasn't much to do.

[shaft0140]

Never played it, but it looks fun.

I have a strange gut feeling that Mass Effect 1/2/3 will come out remastered for the PS4.

[scark92]

That is actually a game trilogy I have yet to play, if it does not come out on PS4, I guess I will get the PS3 version.

[ScorpiusX]

Doubt it EA has never being one to remaster , port yes they will for cash . Don't see them remastering any trilogy. Besides Bioware are busy working on ME 4 and that horror IP.

[deafdani]

I would triple dip on Mass Effect trilogy if it came out on PS4... or Wii U, even.

Yes, I bought the trilogy twice. First time bought each game separately on Xbox 360 - which got stolen along with all its games - and then I bought the trilogy package for my replacement PS3 (previous PS3 got stolen along with the Xbox and a lot of other stuff, haven't bothered with replacing the Xbox).

Yeah, I love the Mass Effect series. ^_^

[Lucreto]

I got the platinum on the PS3. I might be tempted to buy it but it will be next year.

I enjoyed the original and I want to play it again anyway.

[killer4fun53]

Remaster of a multiplatform game is completely unnecessary.

[TomahawkX]

I just saw a new ps3 copy for $7 bucks, and the PC steam version is always on sale for less than $10.

[Systemshock2]

Another Day another Remaster announcement

[equal_youth]

I'm really in for the most remastered/remakes but this is not understandable for me. its not even like u bring an old experience to a younger generation or give us a really highly acclaimed game that is missed by most people who switched from 360 to ps4 like it was with the last of us. Square enix should only do this to finance FF7 Remastered ^^

[lemoncake]

If a game was released within the last few years and had mediocre or better reviews then we are probably going to see it rereleased on the new consoles at some point. Not worth full price or half price but I might pick some of them up from the bargain bin.

[NYC_Gamer]

60 bucks for a game that came out in 2012?

[Whirlwind_Fanfare_08]

I've played the demo of this on PS3, but not the full version of it.
Think i might get this.

[Pro_TactX]

Consumers vote with their wallets. There seems to be a demand for these remakes, otherwise developers wouldn't keep making them. I can't blame the developers for attempting to maximize their profits when the demand is there to meet. That is just good business.

[thricetold]

It's an artificial demand due to lack of anything to play on those brand new $400 paperweights though. The gen of remastered cash grabs has begun. Every time someone excuses this practice it just enables these pubs to take advantage of our love of our hobby.

"Don't want it, don't buy it?" That's the worse thing about these enablers, they can't fathom that their boneheaded actions affect us ALL.

Bet these are the same folks that said paying for live was a good thing and now paying for online is the norm for 2 of the 3 consoles available.

[FalloutWanderer2077]

It's great for those who have yet to play any of these remastered/definitive edition games when they first released and with improvements on the new consoles.

Seeing this increase of "cash grabs" and lack of games has solidified my choice this gen with finally building a gaming rig. Sure,I'll miss out on a few exclusives ( until I grab one of the consoles but much later, when they actually have games worth playing) but right now, I have access to every definitive multi-platform game that's been released and that will be released in the future and pretty much any pre 360ps3 era via emulators.

TR:de was nice for those who didn't play it in all it's glory but truth be told the only "improvements" were because of additional development time etc.

Like I said, I'm just content and feel much better with the choice that I made this time around rather than go strictly consoles. No way in hell was I gonna miss out on all those glorious mods this gen like I did last time around. Play the games you like/love and on the platform(s) of your choice. I'm not hating or trying to flame anyone.

I put a lot of research and time into my decision and I believe a lot of other gamers would take the plunge if either given the opportunity and/or did a bit of research for themselves when building a custom gaming PC. I definitely urge more gamers to at the very least look into it. If you have to save$$$ up? do it! it will be worth it in the long run. IF you can afford both or all? then why not.

I'm sticking with PC for now and down the road when prices are more than likely reduced but more importantly the catalog of games will be that much better and actually worth investing in one of the new systems, I will grab whichever consoles has the games that I enjoy (and cannot already get on PC).

[NatureOfLogic_]

If I'm not satisfied with my new gen console around this time next year. I'll sell my console and move to PC gaming. I don't like where console gaming is heading.

[Black_Adam88]

did anyone actually want this to happen?

[clmstr]

Looks like this remastering bullcrap is getting out of hands...

[Chrisgamerguy]

I really enjoyed this game when I played it on 360 but with so many great new games coming out this holiday I won't be getting this. Seems like square enix is making a lot of remakes instead of investing in new IP's lately

[-Foxtrot]

Why is everyone doing the "If you dont like it dont buy it" approach..you do realize this will get worse and worse UNTILL it effects you. When that time comes then you'll be moaning aswell

[True_Samurai]

Already played this for free with GWG. They price it right I might consider it

[funkybudda]

It's a very well made, but underrated game, but if the price is indeed $60 I think it's too high, it should be $40.

[theshredded]

Will surely buy as for some reason my sleeping dogs ps plus download disappeared & unfortunately I never got the chance to play it.This gen still sucks so buying remasters is great to hold off until the good games come out.TLOU being the best game on current gen is proof of that.Sleeper hit of 2012 here I come!

[theshredded]

edit:I've found it one the webstore!Ps plus rocka!

[Paprika]

Sleeping dogs..... however fun and good it was, this is way off the mark for next gen release..... what a waste of time that could be spent on another game or new IP.

Disagree all you like, this is greed! Tlou I understand, GTA v too.... why not bring skyrim m to ps4 too. Or why not just bring FIFA 11 too!! Those last 2 are sarcasm btw

[Revengeance]

I guess I'm in the minority that doesn't have a problem with these remasters. It's more games PERIOD!!! What part of that don't you understand!?

Oh and before you use the "more remasters=less games" argument, please keep in mind the LARGE number of BRAND NEW games coming for 2015 please.

Batman Arkham Knight
Bloodborne
Evolve
The Witcher 3
The Order 1886
Mortal Kombat X
Halo 5 Guardians
Uncharted 4
Dying Light
MGS 5: The Phantom Pain
No Man's Sky
The Division

I rest my case.

[ion666]

I remember when a list was thrice as long in the snes /genesis era for the year :( Good times.

[GiantFriendlyCrab]

THE gaming industry is turning into Hollywood with their remakes

[sonic989]

ANOTHER REMASTER .
what a start for this gen, hopefully it will get better and at least beats the PS3's generation .
not hoping hoping for a PS2 like gen but who knows what the future holds .
about the game well i didnt like it that much and thats not because of graphics but the story still i hope people will enjoy it especially if you like GTA like stories .

[bleedsoe9mm]

this was a beautiful game on pc and should look great on xb1 and ps4 but can these companies spend some resources (time and money) on some new games

[KontryBoy706]

OMG did we miss the memo. Was the year of 2014 supposed to be the remastered version year? Where are the NEW games and NEW IPs? They should have just waited to release these consoles in 2015.

[Swiggins]

This is getting a little out of hand...

[Sadist3]

This is getting ridiculous. I'm guessing developers ran out of ideas and are just re-releasing games over and over again. So much for paying $400 for a new system to play new games. I think we all have been tricked.

[bleedsoe9mm]

the cynical view is they are putting out cheap to produce remasters while install bases are low and saving their new games until after another holiday of sales .

[Treezy504]

How about a True Crime 1 & 2 remaster? I'm curious to see how the game will look on the PS4, because it wasn't all that on last gen consoles graphically. The game was really fun though.

[LAWSON72]

Game is gorgeous on PC and one of the multiplats that blows the console version away

[LAWSON72]

A very overlooked game that I hope people finally notice once it is on the small libraries of next gen. I kind of wish Square would sweeten the offer though like why not do a nice bundle with Sleeping Dogs, Deus Ex and Hitman Absolution.

[ion666]

I want a true next gen game, I's a sad lemming.

[Dirtnapstor]

Well actually this may work.... SquareE allowed for both TR and SD as freebies on the PS3.
So now those owners who never purchased those games to begin with will want to invest in an even more impressive looking version. No losses there.
Just think of the other offerings aside from SE thus far....

[DaBeatSpecialist]

People on here act like they are forced to buy the damn game! smh

[StrawberryDiesel420]

Nice, I was always interested in this game but never got around to playing it. Now I will be able to play the best console version possible on PS4.

[DarXyde]

Okay, I don't know about all of you, but enough is enough. This generation is about to get bogged down in games many of us have already beaten. These shameless cash-ins are getting very out of hand. This, GTA V, and Tomb Raider were all multi-platform, so it's not like they're reaching a new audience (unless people only owned a Wii previously). I don't like this.

[Gatsu]

I knew that after announcements or releases of TLoU and GTAV remasters, much more start coming. I was really hoping for remasters not to become some stream of countless releases, but it seems we will get them a lot. I'm alright with certain games though and especially now, when PS4 don't have much new games thanks to all the delays. Also good for those who haven't played them yet I guess, Sleeping Dogs is a great game but not gonna buy it again myself :).

[mogwaii]

Ffs! If it keeps going like this as well as drip feeding us games im selling the f**king thing and giving up, gamings glory days are well past and i was glad i was there to see it, just like everything today (music, fashion ect) its just a rehash of whats been before and frankly its tiresome and embarresing.

[MAULxx]

I love seeing these remastered & definitive editions.
Why does everyone hate it so much?
If you already played the game and have no desire to play it again you can just ignore these versions.
If you do want to purchase a remastered/definitive edition but think they're too expensive then just wait a few months or however long it takes & get it cheap.
More games for the new hardware and truly definitive versions of some peoples favorite games is hardly something to cry about. While Sleeping Dogs may not be one of the best games ever, it gives fans and those that didn't play it an opportunity to own most likely the best version of the game.
I'm all for it even if I'm not planning to pick up Sleeping Dogs.

[Gatsu]

Also not to forget that 90% of the games this year got delayed, so I don't see why this game coming is such a big deal. I just hope there won't be 1000 more after and we start getting new IPs, but as this year's game list is quite empty...I say bring it.

[DarXyde]

My problem with this is the companies involved in these projects could easily be using the time and resources to make games we haven't beaten.The Last of Us and The Halo Collection are welcome in my eyes because those are exclusives and it's a great way to catch up a new generation on games they probably didn't try because they only had an Xbox or PlayStation before. Sure, these remakes can help put money in developer and publisher coffers for future games, but if it doesn't sell, it's a waste. Personally, I like having new games. Sleeping Dogs was fun, but I wouldn't pay to pay it again.

[waltyftm]

Pork buns for everyone!!!!

[tigertron]

I might have to rebuy this. I enjoyed the hell out of the original. Though I will probably wait until Christmas to pick it up. All the DLC included sounds good to me, especially Nightmare in North Point which I never got round to playing.

[Paprika]

Why not just a quick port of the PC version...... included in sleeping dogs 2?

The only games we need remasters of, are truly classic games, or games which are of importance to canonical order to a TBA installment in a series which will be next gen.

Some examples, the witcher 1/2 remaster. In time for the witcher 3.... won't happen, but should! Bully remastered, for bully 2 at college, next gen. Half life 2 for the hopefully soon to be half life 3.

The titles to truly deserve remasters should be not just classics however, so fallout 3, skyrim, uncharted, GTA etc from last gen which are major games.. but games likely overlooked or require for helping attention to a new installment, such as most console gamers seriously being hyped for the witcher 3... but few having played the exclusive to PC the witcher 1.

[Father__Merrin]

i thought sleeping dogs was crap

[Dissidia]

You thought wrong.

[Muzikguy]

Squeenix can't come out with good games so they re release the old ones. Sleeping Dogs was an amazing game though I'll definitely be getting this. If they do a Deus Ex HR I'll get that too. Rented the game and loved it! Those are the remakes/remasters I'd buy. Other than that, I want the JRPG goodness

[TheGrimReaper0011]

jesus christ! ENOUGH WITH THESE FUCKING REMAKES!!!!

It is time for new games, PRONTO!!

And dont anybody DARE tell me "Meh, about the gamers that didn't get to play it?" This game was released on PS3, XB360 and PC! Chances are, if you didn't own one of those last gen, you didn't buy a PS4 or XB1

And besides, WHY all these remixes of games nobody cares about, when FFX and X-2 HD sold really well, PROVING that the fans want FF7 HD!!!

This generation has been a complete and utter FAIL up to this point!! All that bullshit about learning from previous console launches, MY ASS! There are close to being more remakes then new IP's for fuck's sake!!

[iNFAMOUZ1]

if it goes on sale, ill probably buy it, i missed the last sale on it, I dont see the hype, the demo was boring, but maybe the full game is worth it, and to the dude above me, chill out bro, millions of others like remakes, just cause you and a few others dont like it or believe its a good thing doesn't mean you have to talk trash, alot of people loved the last of remastered and alot of people cannot wait for the halo master chief collections, so each series has its own fans, stop hating bro.

[CervantesPR]

Not buying

[Sheikah]

Oh come on!! Really? Is the entire last gen library getting a makeover while all new titles get pushesd to 2015?

[stormswrath]

I have to say I'm getting tired of hearing about all of these remakes myself. If I want to play a last gen game I'll play it on a last gen system. When I move into new gen on 9-9 with my destiny ps4 you better believe it is to move forward with new games and new ip's. Not to play the same games I was playing before. This is just my personal opinion. These publishers will make money any way they can so if people support all of these re-releases then they will keep putting them out. I personally would like for these companies to be devoting their time and resources to new stuff and not splitting time between new and old. For example why not work on two new games instead of one new game and a couple of re-releases. I don't have anything negative to say about anyone who chooses to buy these remasters and definitive editions and so on because to each his own. I personally am ready for the current gen to take over and be flooded with a bunch of new stuff. I'll be glad when they start maki g games for current gen and not worrying about making a version for last gen as well. These new machines are capable of doing so.e awesome new things gameplay wise but we won't really begin to see much innovation until the game makers start leaving the last gen in the past. Don't get me wrong, I know people are still playing last gen systems but just wait and see how good these new gen games are really gonna get when the focus is on these new machines.

[Ghost_Nappa]

@badz I wouldn't mind a remastered deus ex hr, game ran very badly on 360/ps3

[kurruptor]

The complaints are getting tiresome.

Like others have said. Don't like it, don't buy it.

If this generates profit for them, they will continue to do it.

They don't care if you think it is a waste of time. They run a business. If it is profitable, why wouldn't they do it?

[TheOnlyMastrx]

Fun game, got bored after a while. But seriously why so many HD Remakes for PS4/Xbox One, some I can understand but some just dont make sense.

[DeezR]

Brace yourself! Even more previous Gen is coming current gen!

[N8]

This is good news for those who like it,but I feel like no one asked for this.

[Djinn]

This is the one HD remake so far that makes sense. The PS4 looks fucking terrible so the remaster should be a vast improvement. I never got the ps3 version because of the sub hd graphics and the bad controls. Perhaps I will finally get it.

[TheTowelBoy]

So, this is what the industry is doing with itself now (´･_･`)

[Jury]

I had more fun with sleeping dogs than gtAv. The shooting and fighting felt way Better for me

[troylazlow]

enough with this

[jpepsi24]

We need a new sleeping dogs not a old one

[Haki1112]

Year of the remakes

[jaymart2k]

The only reason I got TLOU PS4 was because I got $25 for PS3 version towards trade-in.

I also used my $10 off coupon making the game cost only $15.

I also never downloaded any dlc for TLOU PS3.

[Bodge]

another game for the remaster race

[EZMickey]

I just want to be a real man, with a pork bun in my hand.

[TheRacingX]

whether you like the game or not....this is an alarming trend, and gamers should take notice....we as gamers are being force fed games that are packaged as 'new' or 'definitive' being nothing more than the old PC versions glossed over in an 'HD' remake.....I bought a PS4/XB1 for NEW game experiences, IP's, etc, but all I have been getting are Indie games that I can play on my PS3 (because they dont push the envelope graphically) and now HD remakes....this is ridiculous, either publishers are afraid to invest in new IP's or its a cash grab to make back money lost on the development of the older versions.....either way....I bought new platforms for NEW games....not rehashes....I'm disappointed and pissed off at this new trend....

[Adolph Fitler]

This is why I am so against spruced up remakes....it's getting out of hand.. I mean, they've regressed back to re-makes of PS1 games, for my PS4.. Wouldn't it be more logical, that I get a complete new, awesome RE in the series, & we move forward, rather than SO many bodgy, unoriginal developers giving me better looking versions of games I played in the 90's?

I could understand with GTA5 & TLOU, as these 2 particular games suffered sales wise, due to such late releases in the gen & not just that, they are 2 of the greatest videogames ever concieved, but now, games are coming back from the dead like a zombie plague, & they are games that should not get a redo, they've been & gone, & now we need these developers to make brand new, better, more evolved, more revolutionary jumps in there respective genres... Like a new Resident Evil that captures the spirit & feel of RE2, would be mindblowing for me, as it is the greatest in the series without question.. So, give me a new RE with those old school slow, shambling zombies, that attack in number, in a more open world environment, where you can get out of a car that you've just run down 3 dozen zomies in, walk into a house to try find survivors, rewards, whatever, & bam, your attacked my a horde of the things, in what seemed like a empty home...So, you can still have those scary, claustrophobic moments that RE was so famous for delivering, but at the same time, the game is still an open world, different feeling beast... & get rid of those action-esque, RE4 crossover, as they feel wrong in this series....Save that gameplay for another title that doesn't include the RE name.

The point being, lets start getting new games, for our new machines, & if people want to play the old ones, offer them on the PS4 PSN store, through both sales, & the PSNOW service.

[mochachino]

Ugh GTA5 didn't suffer sales wise at all. It may have been the best selling game all last gen. It must have sold close to 35 million.

[mochachino]

Sleeping Dogs is 100 times better than watch dogs IMO. I own both. Sleeping Dogs has a mucf better story, character development and driving mechanics.

[The_Truth_24_7]

Ultimate jizz!

[04STIBluByU]

Why are people hating on this? Are you forced to buy it? I never played this game, so therefore I will buy it and get the best version for consoles! Same with Tomb Raider, I never played it till PS4 had it. GTAV sold what 20 million+. Guess what I never played GTAV either. So these remakes are for people like me who never played them but wanted to. I didn't have PS+ for my PS3, I only bought it for PS4 so I could get the free games, I don't do multiplayer, not enough time! This is also a way for them to make easy cash for the next games.

[SnakePlissken]

Well that's good for you, even though you are the small minority. But for people like me, who have already played the hell outta these games on PS3! It's just a real bummer.

[Indo]

Sold!!! I just wanna fight some demon souls and triads in 1080p/60 on the PS4.

[HollywoodLA]

That's an interesting game to re-release on PS4 and xbone. I played it (for free) thanks to PSPlus, but I'm not sure anyone is exactly clamoring for an hd-release. Did get the platinum.

[WitWolfy]

Another one bites the dust!

[SnakePlissken]

I'm starting to feel jipped this gen! I swear, this whole new trend of remasters has got to stop!

I paid $400 for a new console just to play games I've already played last gen? Wtf is this crap?

This is just wrong and lazy! I don't care that I'm playing in 1080p, seriously why do people buy into this crap?

No wonder developers keep doing this! It's a cash grab.

[thefarkingchamp]

the only remake I can only think of that is fine as remake is halo 2 that is proper 10 year anniversary plus its a huge leap from the original xbox to the xbox one plus everthing in the collection is a bonus for ya I dont want this 1-3 year game it comes out then suddenly is a remaster at full price

[cyclindk]

They should demaster a game and sell it for more than the original. Lower res textures, less frames per second, lower screen resolution. The works. Reduce the game to stick figure geometric manquins with 8-bit audio.

[mobijoker]

Best story and melee combat in an open world game...

[ziggurcat]

fun game, but... i don't think it warranted a "definitive edition" for current gen systems.

[arbitor365]

it seems like kind of a random game to be getting this treatment

[Neonridr]

Man, why even bother making new games now? All the devs need to do is release "definitive" versions of all of their games from the past couple of years. Saves the studio from having to think, and the gamers will gladly double-dip to help enforce the theory that this sort of practice is ok.

While some games are worthy of remakes or "definitive" editions, this game would be very far down on the list for me.

How about some new games, I didn't buy my PS4 to play old games with a new coat of polish.

[bez87]

Loved sleeping dogs but this is getting ridiculous we didn't have this many HD remakes, why does any care for a slightly better looking last gen game, I'm starting to hate this gen already

[PFFT]

Sounds good to me. I loved this game.
