Difference between Sleeping Dogs + DLCs and Sleeping Dogs Definitive Edition?

They say they improved the graphics and added details, IIRC.

It's like Tomb Raider + DLC and Tomb Raider GOTY

Graphics, second has better graphics, because "new generation" consoles need a better looking game to their "powerful" hardware, which in reality is just marketing because consoles can't even handle normal Sleeping Dogs properly, so they decided to make money from this game again an released it again, including on PC.

Dem graphx

Different Sub/Appid, +1 to library, meaning you'll have a sleeping dogs and a sleeping dogs definitive (like deus ex human rev and deus ex human rev Directors cut) that's another set of cards/boosters/chievos for you if you already own sleeping dogs. Let's see, better graphics but i think its just the free HD textures replacing the vanilla textures entirely instead of being an free optional add on. oh and adding all dlc's to it.
It may or may not run better than sleeping dogs.

Quoting the Community guy again on this:

"Now I know that a fair few PC gamers are asking what the difference between the Definitive Edition and the original game with an HD textures pack is - here's your answer: we've redone a lot more than just the textures. We've also reworked character faces, added particle and ambient effects such as volumetric fog. Furthermore, the draw distances have been substantially improved and the gameplay has seen a lot of tweaking. Things that might have been too easy or difficult have been rejigged. Additional breakable enviroment objects have also been introduced so you can have more fun tossing enemy thugs around. On top of all these technical improvements, you've also got the added bonus of almost all previously released DLC packs - that includes outfits, cars and extra story-extending content that amounts to over three hours of additional story gameplay."

So:

• reworked character faces
• particle and ambient effects such as volumetric fog
• draw distances have been substantially improved
• gameplay tweaked, things that might have been too easy or difficult have been rejigged
• additional breakable enviroment objects

I'd totally buy that if it has full cantonese audio and english subtitles. That's the main reason why I skipped sleeping dogs.

The only DLC you really need is the Drunken Fist pack. So awesome.

Apparently not a big difference at all.

As long as they don't remove the old version and DLCs, I don't much care.

The Year of the Snake and Nightmare at the North Point are now integrated in the base game. Best analogy - Deus Ex: Human Revolution - Director's Cut

Still no cloud.

They say the graphics are improved.Rats ass

Metro Last Light Redux, Deus Ex Director's Cut, Guacamelee Super Turbo Championship Edition, and now this.

It would be one thing if owners of the original got the update for free, like Whispered World Special Edition, but that seems to be the rare exception.
