LA Noire 4K Trailer
- Thread starter BAD
- Start date
Looks pretty damn good! Terrible release date, though. No one's going to be buying this with so many other AAA games this month.
I can't watch the video yet but I guess this has no gameplay of the VR version, right? I don't think I've seen a single screenshot of that.
Always been interested in, but never got to play, the game. So I think I'll give it a try this time. Looks really nice!
I assume a Skyrim situation where it's a sort of low fidelity version of the remaster
Better than the original still? Because if that's the case, a slightly improved game that's portable is very compelling for me.
We don't know for sure yet, but come on... if tech illiterate Bethesda is doing their remaster on Switch than it seems doubtless Rockstar will not just port the unaltered old game.
Looks good, the faces still look great.
This will be a switch pick up for sure. What is it, 40bucks?

Of all the games under the rockstar label, this one is the least likely to ever get s sequel. So I'm happy with it.
Imagine if they did a remaster of Midnight Club 2 with increased resolution, new lighting, cleaned up models, online support, and Switch portability.
I know it would be a lot of work but I could see that inspiring more hype than this.
I love L.A Noire but this trailer doesn't really make the remaster look that great. I'm sure for people who never played it will be worthwhile but for all the lack of info we've been getting about it I was expecting Rockstar would give us something that looked really good.
I however really really want a poster of the games cover, this would look great on a wall.

I loved the original game on PC but that trailer didn't blow me away, the textures looked 10 years old (no surprise).
It also made me sad thinking about how sales of the game basically shut down the studio behind the game, Team Bondi, and I wonder what their follow up game, Whore of the Orient (yeah, you can kinda guess why no publisher wanted to touch that) would have been like.

Actually the studio was headed to die before the game even released. Rockstar had to step into a bigger role to make sure it was up to quality before launch because the main studio behind the game was a mess and crunching like crazy. Rockstar owns the brand though thankfully, and speculation is that this remaster may be a sign Rockstar wants to at least not forget about the brand just yet.
Which clue setting did you play on? It was possible to make it so the game would give zero indications of when you were looking at a clue, rather than having it play piano key sounds or visually highlighting it if you didn't want those hints
Interesting. I remember the musical cues. So I guess I missed or skipped that feature.
the Switch version is a port of the PC version, so it wont have the graphical upgrades of the XBO and PS4 version (Switch is outsourced to Virtuous, while the other 2 are in-house)
RIP that's unfortunate. Surprising that Skyrim is getting the upgrades on Switch but LA Noire from a much better publisher/studio isn't.
This is right up there this fall with Mario/AC/Wolf/CoD, etc in terms of highly anticipated. Loved this last gen, very excited to play it again.
I listen to the soundtrack regularly, still.

I hope it's not. there's not much else they could port (since they dont have that many new games) that could do reasonably well
There are other projects in the works from them that have not yet been announced.
Maybe this is the time for my wife and me to finally finish this. Any word on if the PC version is getting upgrades/changes, or should I just crank it up to 4k and go nuts?
It is so great to see that this game hasn't been forgotten, I had an absolute blast with back when it was first released, hopefully this Switch port introduces it to a new audience with style. If by some miracle we get LA Noire 2 down the track where you could relish in your own corruption and abuse of the system, that would be dandy.
Actually to Take Two it's one of the 3 successful pillars under the Rockstar brand. GTA and RDR being the other two.
Zhuge should be able to confirm but they list as much in their investors package from 2016 and it was the best selling title for a new IP in 2011 with 5-6 million copies sold. So for all we know Rockstar is planning, or already working, on a sequel and the remaster is just to reintroduce the IP to the market.
Again the game sold well apparently. Bondi closing was all McNamara and upper management's fault for mismanagement and being difficult to work for. I mean, Bondi would of been Rockstar Sydney if McNamara hadn't screwed it all up.
KMM acquired McNamara and the Orient project but shifting work load and changes like getting Fury Road finished and no longer pursuing the game industry shuttered the project and team.
Personally I didn't like L.A Noire especially when you get to Homicide and realize that none of your choices really matter. That the city was just a note with nothing to really do.
