Sleeping Dogs Gameplay Vid Shows Hard-Boiled Gunplay

With Sleeping Dogs just a couple of weeks away from launch day, Square Enix has released a new gameplay vignette showing the gunplay in action, having previously focused heavily on the combat, with Wei Shen's kung-fu prowess taking the spotlight.

When Wei Shen gets his hands on firearms however, he's as deadly as you'd expect, wielding rifles and handguns like a pro. Mooted features for Sleeping Dogs' shooting bits includes an "aggressive cover system", "explosive and destructible environments" and "slow motion", according to the trailer. What more could you ask for?

There's a look at some of the high speed shootouts and car chases too, as well as Wei Shen putting the grenade launcher attachment on his assault rifle to good use. Check it out in the trailer below. Sleeping Dogs is out on August 14th in North America and August 17th in Europe.

I'm always confused with this game and the one that was revealed at E3. Whats the title that allowed you to hack into others' info and the streetlights? xD

I got a chance to play this at Comic-con San Diego. The combat was actually pretty fun. Me being the old True Crime fan that I am, I'm pretty excited for this one :)

Man Stranglehold was awesome. It was LITERALLY Hard Boiled the Video Game. This looks more like Infernal Affairs/Election the Video Game. Still very good.

I can't live without an "aggressive cover system" anymore.

I hope there are plenty of references to HK action films. At least let me put out a fire with baby piss.

@ 14

That is your problem. It's not a shooter. One trailer doesn't tell you what this game is. Clearly you haven't looked into the game at all if you're calling it a TPS.

Not sure how a cover system can be aggressive, definitely looking forward to picking this up though.

I know it's supposed to be the meat of the game, but the only thing I don't like about this game is the hand-to-hand fighting. I like using guns. But I'm still getting it day one. I love open world games.
