A couple of weeks ago, it was revealed that Square Enix had trademarked the name "Sleeping Dogs." Earlier today/late last night, the little pic of the tattooed cop was distributed with the Sleeping Dogs logo and speculation immediately began. While early reports had tagged the game as another Kane & Lynch game, the new pic left little doubt that it would be the fabled True Crime: Hong Kong reboot rumor that had been swimming around on the Internet since last May.

Now we know that this is indeed in the case. Square Enix has put out the initial trailer for Sleeping Dogs and it's a live action martial arts-fest. The game stars Wei Shen, an undercover cop who has ingratiated himself into a major Hong Kong crime syndicate. In addition to the crazy melee combat in the trailer, which Square and developer United Front Games says will be unprecedented, there will be great shooting and driving mechanics as well.

After Activision shut down True Crime: Hong Kong, it's good to see it get this rebirth.

The live action trailer was pretty decent. But it doesn't show any aspects of the open-world gameplay or the supposedly 'explosive' combat in the game. Hopefully this would be better than the first 2 True Crime titles.

A good preview on the Sleeping Dogs at PAX East 2012.

Those are bold words, but I have to say that I really enjoyed what I saw at the demo. I was given a very long time to play the two story missions and some free racing, and despite that I wanted more. The look and feel, the combat and racing and the immersiveness of the experience had me hooked. Sleeping Dogs was no where on my radar before, now I am eagerly awaiting it's release date
