Sleeping Dogs Looks Like a Chow Yun Fatt Movie

Sleeping Dogs is a game that's remained in hibernation for a long while. It was originally developed as True Crime: Hong Kong, but Activision cancelled the game citing a lack of interest in the franchise. The game, though not the franchise, was eventually sold to Square Enix.

The game's new publisher has big plans for Sleeping Dogs. It seemed very unpolished the last time they showed it off, but things are looking up for the game with some newly released footage.

Square Enix has just put out an official story trailer on its Sleeping Dogs channel on YouTube, which showcases the game's plot. It sounds like something out of a Chow Yun Fatt movie.

"Loyalty and discretion… watch words of the Sun On Yee, one of Hong Kong's most brutal Triad gangs. It's the attitude which makes them strong, the attitude which makes them feared. Getting in will be the hard part, keeping alive even harder," reads the description.

Sleeping Dogs will be out in the second half of 2012 for the PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Check out the Box-art below.
