This looks fucking awesome.

 

Edge did an article on both this game and Mafia 2, and while they said Mafia was a good game, LA Noire could be groundbreaking because of the choices that the player makes in accordance to a story that isn't told through a linear plot line.

 

I also think that LA Noire will be better because it is Rockstar, they're pretty good at depicting different eras of American culture as seen in GTA, (90's LA in San Andreas and 70's Miami in Vice City).

That it does. It looked quality when I first stumbled upon news of its release all the way back in May of last year, here.

 

I stuck a couple of videos up on the Must Buy Games thread as well.

Did they use the actor playing Ken Cosgrove in Mad Men for the lead character in the game as he looks & sounds like him?

Yeah, they actually recorded the actors faces with 32 cameras.

Only on Xbox360 & PS3 for now it seems so might push me to buy a PS3 finally as i hate waiting the extra few months for the PC version like GTA4.

[Juniper]

Really cannot wait for this game.

A tiny win for PS3 in these darkest times.

LA Noire To Ship On Three Discs For 360, One For PS3

LA Noire, one of the biggest games on the table this year, will be shipping for Microsoft’s system on three separate discs, and while they assure us it’s “hassle-free,” it’s still three discs. The PS3 version will fit on one 25GB Blu-ray disc. Now, I’m not saying one version is going to be better than the other (or all I know, the PS3 version has higher load times or more compressed textures), but this is definitely a score for the PS3′s larger format.

 

Maybe I’ll wait for the PC version, which will come on no discs at all.

[Wor Horse]

Can't wait for this.

[mlwilliams]

Only a couple of weeks left, can't wait, really looking forward to this game.

[Guest TK-421]

The 3 disc version sounds very appealing at this moment.

I'm going to fucking love this game. Saw this pic on another forum, check the level of detail that has gone in to designing the LA of 1947 in this pic:

 

 

Look at that banner.

Am I right in thinking this will be a sort of prohibition-era Red Dead Redemption? One of those - what do you call them? - sand box games? If so, I'm buying.

[Sut]

It's post war, Paul, so is a James Ellroy/Raymond Chandler type game. Think The Big Sleep meets LA Confidential. It is a sandbox game, yes.

Not quite. Like said above it's post war. It's Noir. Noir came about in the late forties and went til the late fifties.

 

Also, if you're expecting this to be like RDR you'll be disappointed. The game concentrates much more on police work, investigation, finding and interpreting clues etc than gunplay which, while still there, is a much smaller aspect of the game than RDR or any GTA game. Much smaller. Don't go into this expecting RDR in Cadillacs. It's going to be very different.

My motto is "if it's Rockstar and looks amazing, buy it".

[Welsh]

Been waiting for this game ever since it was announced, I can't wait. Haven't used my PS3 for playing games for some time.

You really can't wrong sticking to that motto.

Check this out Paul.

Cannot wait for this to be posted through my door. Was thinking of taking the day off work on release day and I've never even come close to doing that before with a game.

 

One main reason for owning a 360 is so I can play Rockstar games. Love that you get so involved in a 'world'. I probably know more streets in Liberty City than the place I live.

 

Red Dead Redemption was pure class and although this focuses more on police work I can see this being a step up, despite there not being an online multiplayer element to it.

This is the best video I've found, edited to show all the gameplay footage in one video.

Is it just me who doesn't watch these trailers? I like everything to be fresh, yo.

 

Like when I put my "Repton" cassette in for the first time and fired it up. Then the BBC Model B said "welcome to Repton". Holy shit, it's talking. "Pauuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuul. The computer is talking!!!!!".

 

Wouldn't have been the same if I'd watched it on youtube first.

This game looks outstanding but I'm trying not to get my hopes up about it, I reckon it's going to be banned in Dubai.

 

They previously banned Red Dead Redemption and I had to pick up a copy elsewhere and bring it back so was playing it months after everyone else had finished it. I spotted a copy in the shops last week though so they must have relaxed their ruling on it eventually.

 

If this is banned I'll be fucking gutted.

[Guest TK-421]

What would've happened if they'd found you smuggling a copy of RDR through? Big bollocks there, mate!

[Barzini]

Not really sure. Reckon they'd just take it off you and give you a slap on the wrist. I find pleading ignorance works just as well with customs officials as it does with the wife.

 

They're generally clueless anyway, I brought a load of DVD's over from the UK (just the discs, no boxes) and the woman checking through them was asking if Kill Bill was an "adult film"!
