Sleeping Dogs started development as an original title, but was announced in 2009 as True Crime: Hong Kong, the third installment and a reboot of the True Crime series. As a result of the game’s high development budget and delays, it was canceled by Activision Blizzard in 2011. Six months later, it was announced that Square Enix had picked up the publishing rights to the game, but the game was renamed Sleeping Dogs in 2012 since Square Enix did not purchase the True Crime name rights.

This game is still a system killer at these maximised settings. We test at 1920×1080.

Good results in this demanding engine with very high image quality settings. The single HD7850 card averages 28 frames per second, jumping to 54 frames per second in Crossfire. The GTX760 Mini averages 42 frames per second although the minimum frame rate did drop to 25 frames per second once during our test environment – which is borderline for smooth gameplay.
