Hmmm alright that's a bit more promising. Really interested in this since I never played it before. Hopefully that crashing can be patched quick. Is the framerate a locked 30 or does it feel unlocked like Tomb Raider?

Fair, haven't owned a saints row game since the first which as far as I remember was pretty polished, but that's been years.
Still, point stands, Sleeping Dogs was far removed from a AAA game. That said, I still enjoyed the hell out of it.

Was very much considering picking up the physical for PS4, as I've never played it on 360/PS3 or PC.
It's terrible to hear reports that both versions of Definitive Edition are apparently of such low quality with framerate problems. They couldn't reach a locked 30 FPS even on PS4 ?
All eyes are now on Grand Theft Auto V next month.

I have a very quickly produced this video:

It isn't the capture deck stuff, it's straight from Xbox for pure speed. I've picked two clips from play which I think fairly represent the game. Sorry, I haven't picked the really awful bits with all the smoke, traffic and DoF slowing things down (at least yet) because I think it's unfair to the developers to only show the worst bits of a game. But there's some walking around in a park I was just in, and the game was a juddery mess in that park.

Holy goodness, the judder and the framerate drops are completely apparent from the clips you presented. Profound sadness.
I really wanted to replay this on the PS4, but I'd also like to see a complete Digital Foundry breakdown. The screen tearing will bother the hell out of me. What happened here? This certainly is no Tomb Raider :/

Even being completely objective, this sentence is the most laughably wrong thing I've read today. The game sold well, was well received, and is now being milked for more cash. Activision did not make the right call, and I'd wager at this point they know that.
Makes me feel really dizzy, looking at that.
The PS4 version has some odd performance too from what I can see from about an hour of playing. Essentially, any time the player has control of the game, it's running at a solid 60 with no frame drops or screen tearing. Runs wonderfully in these moments. However, almost every cutscene, in game or prerendered, seem to be either struggling to keep that framerate or are just running at a lower frame rate. I honestly don't know what's going on, it's very odd.

This game should not have been released like this. It seems like a lazy attempt to make more money. I hope it doesn't hurt our chances for a decent sequel.
Oh it's not all bad; the soundtrack is exemplary.
I thought other people and the devs have been saying it's 30 fps
If this doesn't, Triad Wars pretty much will.

I hadn't heard the PS4 version was 60FPS, I assumed it was 30FPS. But more to the point I played the game through on the PC on release and the cut scenes I believe were capped at 30FPS. It was certainly a lower frame rate compared to the gameplay as the game ran at 60FPS for me (bar certain instances when driving). It didn't bother me, but it was just jarring going from smooth in game action, to a cut scene.

This. What could've been one of the best new IP franchises to come from last gen just got nuked. Its chances for anything good to come out are practically dead imo.

I was interested in this - likely later in the year. Maybe not now.
Who worked on this edition? Outsourced? Someone check the credits!

So strange. The PC version ran so damn well

I hope you learned your lesson.
Theoretically, yes, but it's blindingly clear that Squeenix forced this out the door because it wanted to avoid November. Delaying the release until Q1 would have been wiser -- the period is historically quiet and a few months is a long time in the world of optimisation.

People pre ordering texture pack editions of old games at full price, that is setting yourself up for getting fucked in so many ways.
Oh please.
To be fair at least they know they like the game or not before buying. I guess noone expected it to be THAT ropey technically for this release.
I'm happy to make do with my original PC release though
Brilliant game.

Gutted that the "Definitive Edition" isn't up to scratch. I sold the PS3 version shortly after completing it, but soon regretted that decision and have been itching to play the game again since. This new version would've been perfect, but it sounds to me like they shitted it out before GTA V Remastered released so it wouldn't get totally annihilated/ignored. Shame to see such a terrific title treated badly with a shoddy port.
Saints Row IV was amazing. I liked it more than GTAV.
The definitive edition on PC also is more taxing than the original version. So are you saying the PC version of the Definitive Edition ran so damn well?

I'm two hours in and haven't had an issue on console.
Funny. I watched the video three times now and I can't see a single frame drop, slowdown, juddering. Looks like rock solid 30 fps to me.

Saints Row IV was quite good. However SR3 was better/fantastic.
(SR2 was crap, but SR1 was good)
Sleeping Dogs is also great.
Not if your CPU/GPU weren't up to snuff.
I doubt any Laptop level CPU ran this game on top settings.
oof...that is tuurrble.
Laptop level CPU? The i7 and 7970m in my laptop ran it great. Where are you getting this idea that laptop CPU's are all crap?
Did you mean Netbook level CPU?

Man, I'm glad I picked up the PC version over the PS4 version. One thing I've noticed is that people you are walking with can get stuck on other NPCs. I don't remember that ever happening in the OG PC version.

all good for PC owners but is the PS4 version working properly?
I own an old macbook pro this game was never going to be mine until I got my PS4 already pre-ordered paid on PSN so I hope it will not be as bad as reported here

Didn't really notice performance issue in the first clip, but the walking clip holy shit.
Is this game suppose to be 1080P 60FPS on PS4&XBONE?
You have no idea what you're on about. Sleeping Dogs is a great game and has received great reviews. What the Xbone and PS4 versions are like is a different matter...
No. People need to stop with the 60fps on consoles for open world games. It's simply not happening. Open world games require a ton of grunt to adequately do 60fps without dips. You need hardware capable of playing it at 80fps to ensure you're getting no dips at 60fps. As gorgeous as inFamous looked, it was clocking in the 40's when unlocked with dips, that's why they offered the 30fps lock option which actually makes it better due to removing all dips.
This game is 30fps as the target. Even Ubisoft saying 1080p/60fps was their target for Unity was Ubisoft blowing smoke at you.
