sleeping dogs pc vs sleeping dogs definitive edition pc

I don’t think that the ball has been dropped in any significant way with this port, but I don’t feel like a new bar in quality has been set either.īy and large, this release feels comparable to the original PC release, despite a few graphical tweaks and minor modifications. But really, it should be, considering it’s been a couple of years since the original released. And clearly Sleeping Dogs is a great looking game on Xbox One and PS4, and a huge step up from the previous generation. But I’ve also seen far better previous-gen to current-gen ports with releases like The Last of Us and even Tomb Raider, so my expectations for these releases is somewhat high. Maybe it’s my fault for wanting to compare this to the PC edition, and not just looking at Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition as a console upgrade. But for those that played through on PC? Not at all. Is it a clear step-up from the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions? Yes. While I still feel Sleeping Dogs is an exceptionally good open-world game, even post Grand Theft Auto V, it’s hard to argue that this Definitive Edition releasing next week on Xbox One and PS4 is worth the $60 price tag attached.

If we didn’t live in a world where there was a pre-existing version of Sleeping Dogs readily (and cheaply) available on PC, then I suppose this Definitive Edition would be far more tantalizing than it currently is.
