Sleeping Dogs is set in Hong Kong, but the game won’t ship with a Cantopop soundtrack. Square Enix licensed music from heavy metal band DevilDriver for the action game.

I think Sleeping Dogs was inspired by another Square Enix Europe title – Batman: Arkham Asylum since the hand to hand combat system is pretty familiar. Players use a button to attack and another button to counter right before an enemy hits you.

United Front Games discuss their research trips to Hong Kong, which they used to as a basis for creating the city in Sleeping Dogs.

Square Enix and United Front Games put out a new trailer for Sleeping Dogs this morning, showing off what the game looks like now.

Square finally released in-game screenshots that show off a bunch of different scenes.

Sleeping Dogs has you playing as Wei Shen, an undercover cop attempting to take down the Hong Kong triads from the inside.

Square Enix stealth announced Sleeping Dogs at Destination PlayStation. This upcoming game is slated for release on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC in August.
