Offscreen L.A. Noire Switch Gameplay

Honestly such a weird choice of game to port. Testing the waters maybe?
Looks decent though.
EDIT: Forgot they were doing other remasters at the same time... Duh!

Most likely, if this does well then something like GTAV could be ported in the future though that remains to be seen
Six and a half years, actually.
Looks like a solid port, but due to the physical version shipping on a flippin' 8 gig cart, I'll be waiting for a deep price cut.
I mean, they are also releasing the game on PS4/X1 as 4K versions. I'd guess it is a test, but they were already working on it anyway.
GTA V would sell boat loads on the switch, and I have a hard time believing that they aren't already aware of that. I would be surprised if they didn't cash in on the switch craze with a GTA port and a little bit surprised if they weren't at least considering spending resources on porting the new Red Dead to it as well.
More that it's just been included in the wider PS4/XBO/VR remaster operation, rather than specifically a Switch experiment, I think.

That's exactly what I am doing, the mandatory install on physical is insane.
I feel like maybe they want to do a sequel to the game, and are testing the market to see if people would still enjoy this type of game. Personally I really liked LA Noire and I think a switch version would be amazing, but I really like detective games so I don't know if the general populous would enjoy a slower paced game like this.

Yes, you also have to have an SD card that has a 60mb read speed or more, luckily my 64gb Sandisk does have that but man it's such a pain in the ass
I believe you need 14 gigs of space, so you should be fine with internal space unless you have a bunch of games installed.
Probably because the remaster for PS4/XB1 was already planned, so it was work done in parallel.

Says right here, "Regardless of the installation method, any microSD card used for game storage must have a read speed of at least 60 MB/sec." https://support.rockstargames.com/h...Noire-on-Nintendo-Switch-Storage-Requirements
Looks alright. Can't tell much from off screen footage. I see a lot of aliasing, sub-720p for undocked mode?
GTA V would struggle to run on the Switch due to the weak CPU. The demographic of Switch owners (children and adults who like Nintendo titles) isn't very similar to your typical GTA V audience. I doubt Rockstar would make a profit on such a port.
I can't imagine anyone buying a SD Card that isn't faster than that.
Looks really good, smoother than I was expecting and the pop in wasn't as noticeable as I thought it would be. This is going to be a good port I think.

Most SD cards I know do have a read speed that exceeds 60mb's per sec, however my problem is that my internet connection isn't the best and a 14GB install would take awhile.
Misinformation. It ran on PS3 and X360. Also, Doom is basically Top 3/4 on nearly all region eshops, and that is a far more "Mature" title than GTA is.
This. Maybe I'll buy this down the line to play it with GF, but GTA V and Red Dead would fall in a heartbeat no doubt.
This uses RAGE too, right? Could be a tech test for the engine, and they already have a sunk cost of remastering this game for the other consoles.
Nintendo is clearly trying to change that and releasing games like this is a big step in that direction.
This looks great and only makes me crave a 'real' open world city game on the Switch.
Most of the newer microSD cards on the market are above that speed. You need to go out of your way to buy one below.
That song is giving me some strong Godfather vibes. How similar is LA Noire to the Godfather series?
Yikes... i was okay with the mandatory install, because I thought "well, it probably is a huge game"... But this information changes this.
Inexcusable imo, since they really could've gone with a 16gb card, since the game is already 10 bucks more than on the other consoles.
Regarding the game itself, it is one of my favourite games of last gen. All the hate completely flew over my head last gen and also my favoutite open world game.
1940's LA is beautifully realized and yes, the story/writing isn't Shakespeare, but then we have huge fanbases of games of the likes of Mass Effect or Uncharted and I'm like what?
Yes, but both the PS3 and Xbox 360 have a much faster CPU compared to the Switch.
I don't think this is made for testing the Switch waters, though that will be a secondary function. This is a multiplatform thing and it's main raison d'etre is to try and earn some more money back on this game that went way overbudget and was only moderately successful the first go around.
Question: I played this on 360, I recall doing some dlc, mainly one about someone who was drugging up starlets and one about the Spruce Goose. I think maybe one more. I missed out on the PS3 exclusive one about an ambassador's car or something.
Was there any more dlc than that? I platinumed the game so I think I basically have done all the content except maybe that PS3 exclusive one.

The guy is obviously trolling. Can't believe I fell for it the first time.
Stop spreading misinformation. GTA V would run fine on the Switch as the game would be downgraded and optimised around it's hardware from the PS4/XB1 version. Remember it was a PS360 title first and the Switch has a much more modern GPU and 8x more memory than those systems.
I guess if this flops you'll get your discounted version earlier. It makes sense.
Worth reading for those that think Switch will be yet another 'family friendly' Nintendo console:

Like others said, we already have Doom, Wolfenstein & Skyrim on way (all in less than a year of the console's release).

To be fair, it did sell 7 million, so I don't know about that, but yes of course they want to make more money from what they invested in it.
What did I say which was inaccurate? The PS3 was 3.2 GHz, so was the 360, and the Switch is 1.020 GHz
