On the other hand, Wei swore to himself that he would take all of the drug-dealing Triads of Hong Kong down to get revenge for his sister. On one hand, Wei legitimately cares for the members of the Sun On Yee, who eventually embrace him as one of their own (inviting Wei to social events, weddings and other familial events). Given the loss of Wei Shen's family, his friends are all that he has left. Years later, Wei has returned as an undercover police officer and intends to exploit his childhood friendships with the low level members of the Sun On Yee Triad from his old neighborhood to infiltrate Hong Kong's criminal underworld. Mimi eventually died of a drug overdose and Wei Shen's mother committed suicide in the months that followed. Wei Shen's older sister, Mimi, was associated with one of the Triad gangs and their mother moved the Shen children from Hong Kong to San Francisco to get Mimi away from her drug suppliers. Its story revolves around Wei Shen, an undercover police officer infiltrating the Triads of Hong Kong. In terms of story, Sleeping Dogs Definitive Edition is just as spot-on and well-executed as it was on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Without a doubt, Sleeping Dogs Definitive Edition is the apotheosis of GTA clones and proves itself just as enjoyable and beautiful as all the video games and films that have inspired it.įor those who have played the game in its original release, most of Sleeping Dogs' changes in the Definitive Edition come in the form of its visual fidelity, overall presentation and the inclusion of its excellent DLC chapters. Without ever missing a beat or feeling offensive/stereotypical (which tends to happen to many Asian characters depicted in the movies and games done in the West), Sleeping Dogs not only takes us into present day Hong Kong, it recreates all of the city's beautiful glamour and disgusting grime intertwined with a compelling story featuring some of the best voice acting we have ever heard in the video game medium. We're glad Sleeping Dogs never went with its original True Crime: Streets of Hong Kong moniker, because this allowed United Front Games to make a quality title we could look at without any predispositions that completely immerses you in modern Chinese culture and is unparalleled in terms of its authenticity. Proving to be an exceptional, open world action game at its core, in many ways, Sleeping Dogs excels beyond Rockstar Games' flagship series and establishes itself as a game offering much more than your traditional rags-to-riches mafioso story. Similar to Tomb Raider Definitive Edition, Square Enix has decided to bring one of its best games from the last-gen over to the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 in order to retell Wei Shen's inner conflict of brotherhood versus justice in the best way possible. Thanks to the snazzy new tech the current generation delivers, UFG has been able to do more than just scale the resolution to 1080p and the upgraded ambience and visuals of Hong Kong provide quite the backdrop to your undercover operation.We've encountered plenty of GTA clones in the past, but none done as well as the 2012 hit, Sleeping Dogs. "Our old friends over at United Front Games have been busy tinkering away on this one after having already done a masterful job on the original game as well as having played a major role working on the Definitive Edition of Tomb Raider, alongside Crystal Dynamics. Available now on PS4, Xbox One and PC and released on October 10 (Europe)/October 14 (North America), the Definitive Edition will not only see Wei Shen free-running and man-handling his way through a living, breathing HD Hong Kong, but will also include 24 DLC packs! Amongst the other kick-ass DLCs, that also includes Year of the Snake, Nightmare in North Point and the awesomely explosive Wheels of Fury pack - Kapow!"
