I’m yet to go and buy a big HD re-release on new consoles, because the game’s in question are still too fresh in my mind. Sleeping Dogs, however, hits a sweet spot where it’s both old enough I want to play it again and the type of game where new effects and textures can really make a big difference.
It also helps that the game, which is fantastic, could do with a second shot at the spotlight, especially since later attempts like Watch Dogs have shown that SD’s mix of driving, combat and an open world isn’t as easy to pull off as marketing teams and Rockstar would have you believe.
