Sleeping Dogs Definitive Edition confirmed with pointless trailer

I liked Sleeping Dogs a lot, but it’s starting to become too common for publishers to re-release popular games on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One instead of developing new ones.

Square Enix is going to follow this trend with Sleeping Dogs Definitive Edition, a “re-mastered update.”

Sleeping Dogs Definitive Edition releases on October 14 for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One running at 1080p.

GDC 2012: Sleeping Dogs hands-on

Sleeping Dogs’ development history is pretty well known. Developed by United Front Games and scheduled for release through Activision, the game was cancelled and brought back to life by Square Enix.

Originally planned as another game in the True Crime series, but now known as Sleeping Dogs, I had a chance to play two levels. The first focused on hand-to-hand combat and the second was to preview of driving.

I admit right now – I want to play this game as soon as possible.
