VIDEO: Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition - 101 Gameplay Trailer [03:16]

Square Enix has released the first gameplay trailer for Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition, and it does not disappoint. The three-minute trailer shows off the improvements United Front Games has made to the 2012 action game for its upcoming release on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC, which include better visuals (native 1080p), heavier traffic, and more pedestrians.

The Definitive Edition--which was announced last month and will be developed by United Front Games--also features new lighting and atmospheric effects, as well as updates to the game's character and car models. There are also "extensive" texture improvements, Square Enix says in the trailer above.

All of this combines to make Sleeping Dogs on its new platforms "more beautiful and realistic" than when it was released two years ago on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC. With these improvements, the game's setting of Hong Kong "becomes more than a location; it becomes its own character," Square Enix says.

The Definitive Edition launches on October 10. In addition to the graphical improvements, the game will include all of the expansion content (24 add-ons in all) released for the original game. If the Definitive Edition sells well, it might give Square Enix a reason to greenlight a sequel. After all, United Front Games "would love" to do it.
