Sleeping Dogs PC Requirements Revealed

Written by Brandon Hofer on August 10, 2012

Sleeping Dogs PC News: The PC for Sleeping Dogs have been announced. Find out what you need to experience Sleeping Dogs and Hong Kong on your PC.

The Sleeping Dogs PC requirements have been announced. So while the Square Enix game will be released on the Xbox 360 and PS3 too, the PC version of Sleeping Dogs is set to have some additional bells and whistles though that the consoles versions wont.

The PC specs include high-resolution texture pack updates the game to a new level, bringing high detail and crisp clear rendering to everything from city skyscrapers to crumbling ancient temples. Another layer of depth is added for gamers running at higher resolutions using increased small object detail to render smaller items of the world from a far greater distance to give an incredible sense of scale and detail. In-game shadows receive a significant upgrade with support for high-resolution shadow textures, high quality shadow filters and support for Screen Space Ambient Occlusion. Sleeping Dogs also features performance enhancements for both dual and quad core PC setups, enhanced performance for Nvidia SLI and AMD Crossfire, support for keyboard and mouse setup (including key mapping) and optimizations for both 3D and multi monitors on both AMD and Nvidia hardware.

For Team Fortress 2 players, a special bonus awaits. Pre-order the game on Steam and players will get access to eight new items in the Team Fortress 2 Triad Pack. There's something for every class: pyros will conk enemies over the head with a neon sign, heavies will breathe fire, scouts will get chopping with a comically oversized cleaver and spies will do what they do best, but even more covertly. With all of the new hats, swag and tattoos, you'll fit right in on the new battlefield: a King of the Hill map inspired by the streets of Hong Kong.
