In the last Sleeping Dogs trailer, we saw main man Wei Shen break approximately a 7 gazillion faces within the 1 and a half minute trailer of Sleeping Dogs gameplay highlight, and it turns out that he’s really good at it, so we’re in good hands with the combat.

In another one of the game’s earlier trailers we saw the beautifully done driving gameplay, which resembled Grand Theft Auto 4 more than previous iterations of the GTA series has. All good stuff.

Today we have a new trailer for you (along with some Sleeping Dogs screenshots) that shows off more of these things, with an extra side of alleyway thuggery and angry Chinese shouting. You can watch it (and view those new screenshots) after the break.

Sleeping Dogs Gameplay Trailer Highlights Driving, Key to Sandbox Success

Several days ago, I offered up the suggestion that Sleeping Dogs is very similar to a little upcoming title called GTA V.

My reasoning for that was that the look of Sleeping Dogs’ superb looking on-the-road physics, which, from what we can gather between the trailer in that post and the one I have for you today, is that the vehicle handling in the game will be both fast-paced and meaty and will definitely not let us down in the vehicle department.

The success of a sandbox game can hinge on its vehicular sections, given that a lot of the gameplay and tasks will require us to roar down miles of tarmac on a regular basis. By the footage in this latest trailer from Square Enix, Sleeping Dogs has got this down pat.

Put down the pitchforks!

Sleeping Dogs does resemble Grand Theft Auto somewhat, please don’t set my house on fire! And to the person who just threw a brick at my house – you’ll be receiving a bill in the mail.

The latest Sleeping Dogs dev diary, ‘undercover Hong Kong’, features both an insight into how the game came to be (Hong Kong slasher flicks), a bit of intel onto how the Triads do what they do (probably best to avoid them, yeah) and a smattering of gameplay footage, which, yes, does resemble GTA, slightly.

The driving looks weighted, the combat look meaty and I can’t wait to get my hands on it, see for yourself after the break.

As a UK resident, I try and save the clichéd British phrases for special occasions but cor, blimey! Sleeping Dogs is really violent.

We got the itty bittiest taste of how gratuitous the combat sequences are in the previous batch of screenshots but this new trailer for Sleeping Dogs’ story is an entirely different case of face-mashing altogether.

Blood-spattered knuckle dusters aside, it’s clear that Square Enix and United Front Games are upping the ante on the formerly Activision-owned game, with the right bit of pacing able to make the game’s story a real contender against the balls to the wall plotlines of fellow sandbox-er, Grand Theft Auto.

First things first, this will be the first, last and only time that I use this line in my coverage for Sleeping Dogs because I am a sucker for the obvious cliché – …”let sleeping dogs lie.”

Okay, can we move on now? Good. Pun aside, I do not think we should let ‘Sleeping Dogs’ lie at all. Activision, on the other hand did, and canned the game in February, 2011 (back when it was called True Crime Hong Kong). Thankfully, Square Enix picked up the game from Acti, minus the name rights, hoping to give the market a gritty urban sandbox shooter set in the belching, crime-infested underbelly of Hong Kong.

Along with the new name, Square Enix have also released a trailer, several screenshots and a morsel of story info (which is in the video after the break, I shan’t spoil the surprise for you!).
