Robut can you please post a screenshot of the video options menu???? PLZ!!
Guess we'll find out if GTA is still the king when number 5 comes out though. While they will sell in numbers, who knows if it will technically be as good as the other GTA's, if not better... or their competitors.
Bummer, looks like Steam changed the pre-order bonuses and now you only get the Triad Enforcer pack.
That's what I get for waiting.
Awesome, thanks for this.

Radeon 6850, Phenom X4 965 Black Edition, 12GB DDR3 RAM. According to the benchmark I'm getting an average of 60.8fps, with some dips (not sure what causes them - I assume physics or effects) to around 30fps. Everything is maxed, apart from AA and Shadow Filtering, which I turned down to Normal rather than High/Extreme.
Hmmm... wonder how this will run with my 470 GTX, 6GB DDR3 RAM?

Probably fine. The game scales well, it just looks like maxing it has a ton of extra effects and stuff.
Thanks BigJiantRobut. I'm hoping I can last until the next gen of video cards before I have to upgrade, hah.
Good thing I don't play many shooters any more but it looks like open world games can be quite taxing, sometimes.

Do you have vsync enabled for the benchmark?
XANDER CAGE

Aye. Want me to run it without?

That would be a good idea. Vsync not only caps your framerate, but it can give you drops down to 30 if there's no triple buffering.
I hate it when people do that. I love GTA as much as anybody but I can still enjoy any urban open world game for what it is and not sit there and compare it to GTA all day.

Doy, of course. Will run again for y'all, sans sync.
Interestingly enough, the options have a frame rate limiter built in, separate from vsync. Might come in handy for some folks!

It sounds like people are going to be really happy with this port. I'll definitely pick it up down the line.

Benchmark (same settings, without vsync): 119.9 max, 38.8 min, 72.8 average.
Do keep in mind that these are just observations I've made with one copy on one computer! YMMV, as they say.
You would think 10 years on (or however long its been since GTA came out) that people would find something else to compare it to... would we still compare FPSes to Doom/Half Life?
Eh, I think the FPS genre is a lot more wide open than something more specific like this (open-world crime games). And none have really come close to challenging GTA yet.
Not that I like that quote in the review, seems unfair to Sleeping Dogs, but just sayin'.

Has there been any more word about what the deal with the DLC packs on Steam will be? No confirmation of the HiRes pack?
Nabs
Member
The only thing we know right now is that the HiRes pack is free.
Do you know if the HiRes pack will be coming to the consoles?
Nabs
Member
We don't even know what it is yet. If it's a high res texture pack, then I'm going to bet on it being a PC exclusive.
Yeah I was guessing that would be it. We got a HiRes texture pack for Battlefield 3 on the consoles though, because it didn't fit on the discs anymore or something like that.

Have had this pre-ordered for months. I've never been interested in one of these open-world/crime, GTA type games before, but something about Sleeping Dogs seems different so I'm gonna give it a try. Fingers crossed that it lives up to expectations!
Thanks for this!!
Will have this baby pre-ordered soon!! Hopefully it's good!Just a question. Have you tried it out with a 360 controller?

I love Hong Kong crime and action movies so this could be very good for me. Will wait for more impression/reviews though before I get too hype. I think the combat could make or break the game.
Yep, all about the combat for me as well.

Ordered from GMG for $33.75.. can't wait.
This is probably a bit silly but hearing that there's a frame rate limiter just made me go from "wait for Steam sales" to "where's the cheapest pre-order". Attention to detail with PC ports is where they get me if I'm not already on board.
Both deserve it.
I just saw the police investigation vid that I assume has done the rounds in this thread already.
Amazing stuff. Show people that, that will get them excited.

Oh you are right. Thanks for clearing this up
Well it's definitely not option A from everything I've seen of this game :\

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Gonna need a GTX 560+ to support those high res DLC textures.
Right guys? Right?

Glad I ordered the 360 version
I prefer my unoptimized mess on the PC to a console version
Especially when ENB Sleeping Dogs will be released (I want to believe)
