Hardcore Gamer: Square Enix’s Sleeping Dogs has earned itself the obligatory new-gen remaster with Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition, but a recent thread on the official Sleeping Dogs forum reveals that the graphical and technical improvements could be big enough to warrant a re-purchase
Rating for Sleeping Dogs Definitive Edition has seemingly been updated in Australia, leading to many speculations among the community.
Still says it's under SquareEnix 😒 was hoping it would've been u der someone else after their sale of studios and IPs
The sale hasn't gone through yet though. Nothing will change hands until then. Square Enix said they only kept certain franchises like Outriders. It's reasonable to assume anything they didn't name was sold.
Sleeping dogs is a dead ip that square bought separate from eidos. It’s probably fair to assume they didn’t sell it.
Sale still has to go through and be approved it doesn't just happen over night like buying a used car. Also depends what franchises Square included in the sale along with the studios as well if Sleeping Dogs is still owned by SquareEnix then they will label it as such. Also if they have prior commitments then they also have to honor that as well. Then after that commitment is fulfilled after a while then that said franchise the new owner can do anything they want with it. Like Microsoft had to honor the exclusive games Bethesda made for the PS5 or else they would be forced to pay out those contracts. After those contracts are full filled a game like Deathloop will most likely appear on Xbox. Microsoft after that can do what ever they want with the game.
Cut Isarai some slack. A Sleeping Dogs sequel can be handled by a better publisher than Square in these recent times. Let's just hope it doesn't stay that way.

I've been saying this for years. We need a sequel.. I would even love it if they did a remake from the people who made Sifu. Or if the two studios joined forces to make a sequel.. that'd be epic!
The Australian classification office will occasionally go back and look at old prices of media if they receive a complaint. So it could have been as simple as a parent complained about the rating as R18 was not an available video game rating when the game originally launched.
I'm not going to get my hopes up I've seen enough leaked internal memos as to why true crime and later sleeping dogs was considered a fail also square won't greenlight a game unless it will sell call of duty numbers
Interesting point, but what are your sources regarding seeing Sleeping Dogs as a "fail?" I thought the game did great.
Here it sold 1.75 million which was below what square wanted. However we all know square is never happy and fails to understand the difference between neiche games and cultural phenomenon titles.

One of the many video games that have faded into obscurity is True Crime: New York City, a title with a lot of heart but not enough support.
I had this game, was fun for the time. Trying to chase down Puffy and JLo in the limo fleeing the club shooting. I'm not really sure if you caught them or it was just a call on the police radio.

I've loved this game since I got it Christmas 2005. Despite the glitches, I enjoyed it a lot
Daily Video Game writes: "The online retailer Amazon is running several digital titles on sale with big discounts for Xbox One gamers, and they’re offering discounts of up to 85% off of them right now for a limited time."
