Sleeping Dogs: Old vs Definitive Edition Screenshot Comparison

Check out a screenshot comparison between Sleeping Dogs old and Definitive Edition.

hkgamer4267d ago

something looks off on the new version. i prefer the one on the left more.

anyone know whcih version is on left and right?

Old_Boss_4267d ago

The one on the Right is the Definitive Edition.

hkgamer4267d ago

i know the definitive version is on the roght. just used the wrong words. was wondering which platforms they were comparing with.

pc and pc?

the one on left has less effects, but it just looks better.

GodGinrai4267d ago

I have to agree with HK. I also thought the one on the left looked better. o_O

Yukicore4267d ago

It's just a different angle and because of that different lighting. The textures are definitely better on the right one

nveenio4267d ago

Seems like this is just a texture upgrade.

UltraNova4267d ago

Ok lets say 30 bucks is just right for this 'Definitive' Edition considering the amount of work put into it..

Something's wrong there. I also think the one on the left looks better in most parts.

I got this game free with PS+. It's a good game but not sure it's worth the "Definitive" treatment.

CJDUNCAN4267d ago

They are wasting money releasing a definitive version. I don't get it but hey it's their money to burn so whatever.

The game was cool but it's definitely not worth a rehash.

Baka-akaB4267d ago

except they are not wasting money , they are literally porting the pc version +dlc , that's easy for them . Between that and triad wars it's obvious they are squeezing and milking further cash , from a game they once said didnt make enough money

viperman2404267d ago

I think it has something to do with the lighting, I think they took out most of the bloom and any other lighting effects.

It just looks off like you said, apart from the definitive version having higher textures here and there, the lighting is what made the game looks alive, now it looks to be gone.

pompous4267d ago (Edited 4267d ago )

Looks like the pc version I've played...

@ cjducncan... They are not wasting money with this. It's little effort to port from the pc version since the architecture is similar. But the REAL BENEFIT of these definitive editions is the devs can get a grip on the hardware so when they do make a game from the ground up they will know the hardware better versus learning while making games so we don't get semi crappy games until they are 2 or 3 games into the gen..

Texture are sharper but those lines around the arm and hands on the definitive version are horrible...the softer old version looks better overall.

jc485734267d ago

I actually like how the left softens up the lighting.

ziggurcat4267d ago

i'm pretty sure that's the blurry textures...

tubers4267d ago

Yeah, it looks weird on the HD version. Guess the AA/blurriness of the old makes it look more "convincing", at least on this particular comparison.

larrysdirtydrawss4267d ago

not sure wich console was on the left but the one on the right certainly looks better,just look at the textures on the meat cleaver itself,less blurryness everywhere

Dirkster_Dude4267d ago (Edited 4267d ago )

At the bottom of the pictures there is an "SD" and "HD". There is also a SLIDER on the picture starting at the left edge of the picture. The "HD" picture has more definition around the collar and sharper pattern on the shirt and cleaver. If you never played the game it would be the one to obtain if you could. However, it certainly isn't worth more of your money even if you receive all the DLC.

hkgamer4267d ago

sorry, wrong use of words, i wanted to know what platform they chose for old and definitive version. its pretty obvious especially with the buttons you press at the bottom, even though it shouldnt be labelled as sd.

doesnt the extra detail make the game look worse to you? maybe that was just this picture.

im not getting game since its only 30fps on consoles.

Improv4267d ago

Are some of you absolutely blind? How can you not tell which the next gen version is? The textures alone give it away completely. Hmm...one has blurry textures and the other is far sharper. I wonder which is next gen! Derpaderpaderp!!!!

Darkwatchman4267d ago

If you zoom in, you'll immediately be able to tell the one on the right is the definitive edition. It looks sharper and texturing on the hair net and collar are more detailed.

hkgamer4267d ago

its easy to spot the definitive version.

just wondering whatt hey did to mess it up so much. left is less superior in graphics but looks a lot nicer.

kingduqc4267d ago

"Definitive Edition"

30 fps

lel

Soulscare4267d ago

Oh look, someone is bringing up FPS again. Because we don't see this in every article...

Sir_Simba4267d ago

if you want to play this game buy the available verions dont spend money your (maybe) hard earn cash on this money grab

SteamPowered4267d ago

Is this game any good? Ive never played it and Im wondering if the Definitive Edition would be worth the extra cheddar.

spidermann4267d ago

Its a highly enjoyable game. No gta but holds its own, specially in d kungfu mechanics

SteamPowered4267d ago

Kung fu you say? Now I am very intrigued. I still dont see a massive difference in the Def Ed of Sleeping Dogs, so Im not sure if I should pony up the extra cash.

BigPappaPump4267d ago

SteamPowered: Pick up the game if you never play it. I can guarantee that you won't regret it. Like spidermann said "it's no gta but it holds its own". Def edition comes with all the DLC.

CoLD FiRE4267d ago

It's very good. I wasn't convinced at firs but after I played it I got hooked. I enjoyed it more than GTAIV, that's for sure.

gobluesamg4267d ago

I'd wait till it's about 20 bucks.

The definitive edition looks more clear and sharp but also looks like it has a tint of yellow in the colour.

I Wish More People Played Sleeping Dogs

United Front Games developed a really unique experience with Sleeping Dogs, and it still holds up. Unfortunately, any hope at a sequel hinges on it getting more popular almost a decade later.

The game is on sale right now for $5 on PlayStation!

JunonZanon283d ago

One of the best open world games around, the story was really well made

JBryant0619283d ago

I wish we could have fought the Pork Bun Man in the game!

Rebel_Scum283d ago

Brah, what he’d ever do to you? You not a real man!

RavenWolfx283d ago

It is a great game and I would love a sequel.

Shang-Chi Star Simu Liu Wants to Develop Sleeping Dogs Sequel and Movie

Shang-Chi star Simu Liu is working to revive the Sleeping Dogs movie and hopes its success could lead to a long-awaited Sleeping Dogs sequel.

ZeekQuattro486d ago

Please do. One of my favorite games from that gen. A man who never eats pork bun is never a whole man!

Inverno486d ago

Square has their own GTA and they haven't bothered making a sequel. Yet they're wasting money on nfts and live service crap.

Inverno486d ago

Gotta be more specific. Did it sell well to Square and their unrealistic expectations? Probably not. Did it sell well and garnered enough praise to deserve a sequel? Yes. They also bought the rights from Acti when it was True Crime so they must've thought it was worth it at the time so idk why they've let the IP die out.

ZeekQuattro486d ago

According to Square Sleeping Dogs, Hitman Absolution and even Tomb Raider Reboot bombed on varying levels. They all dropped around the same time. All sold well enough but Square and it's lofty expectations got in the way. I remember Square was mumbling that TR sold 3 million + in a month.

CrimsonWing69486d ago

I’d be down if he doesn’t shove his ideals in it.

AndrewM486d ago

As long as the game fits YOUR ideals eh? Whatever happened to artists creating what artists want...

CrimsonWing69486d ago

Hey, they can create whatever they want. I literally said “I’d” be down if he doesn’t shove his ideals in it.

Whatever happened to consumers being allowed to voice what they want in a discussion forum, eh…?

JunonZanon486d ago

What a game Sleeping Dogs is.

It's A Crime That There's No Sleeping Dogs 2 Yet

Huzaifah from eXputer: "Sleeping Dogs from the early 2010s is one of the best open-world games out there but in dire need of a resurgence."

LG_Fox_Brazil777d ago

I agree, I consider the first one a cult classic already

isarai777d ago

You say "yet" as if it's even possible anymore. United Front Games is gone, along with anyone that made this game what it is

CrimsonWing69776d ago

That’s what happens when games sell poorly. And I’ve seen people wonder why people cry when a game sells badly… this is your answer.

solideagle776d ago

Majority of the time it's true but if a company/publisher is big (in terms of money), they can take a hit or 2. e.g. I am not worried about Rebirth sales as Square will make Remake 3 anyway but if FF 17 doesn't sell then Square might need to look for alternative. <-- my humble opinion

Abnor_Mal776d ago

Doesn’t Microsoft own the IP now since they acquired Activision?

DaReapa776d ago

No. Square Enix owns the IP.

Abnor_Mal776d ago

Oh okay, Activision owned True Crime, but when that didn’t sell as intended it was canceled. Six months later Square Enix bought the rights and changed the title to Sleeping Dogs.*

*As per Wikipedia

boing1776d ago (Edited 776d ago )

Sleeping Dogs was a sleeper hit back then. It was fantastic. It actually still is. Would love a sequel to this, or at least a revive of True Crime series.
