Noire takes place in the seedy and violent underbelly of 1940’s Los Angeles as decorated veteran and newly minted detective, Cole Phelps investigates an escalating series of cases inspired by real-world crimes. Each successfully solved case brings Phelps greater success, but also brings him closer to the dark criminal heart of post-war L.A. The game was an Official Selection of the Tribeca Film Festival for its cinematic approach to gameplay and narrative.Utilizing a unique type of facial capture technology called MotionScan, L.A. Noire breathes unprecedented life into character performances, creating brand new gameplay out of the art of interrogation.“We’re excited to bring L.A. Noire’s unique mix of real detective work, classic Hollywood atmosphere and thrilling action to these new platforms,” said Sam Houser, Founder of Rockstar Games. “Now with a choice of spectacular virtual reality, stunning 4K, or the freedom of portable play, these enhanced versions are a perfect opportunity for players to experience this richly detailed world in a whole new way."L.A. Noire: The VR Case Files for HTC Vive delivers seven of the original engrossing, self-contained cases from LA Noire rebuilt specifically for virtual reality, blending breathtaking action with true detective work to deliver an unprecedented interactive experience.L.A. Noire for the Nintendo Switch features the complete original game and all additional downloadable content, with specific enhancements including a Joy-Con mode with gyroscopic, gesture-based controls, HD rumble and new wide and over-the-shoulder camera angles, plus contextual touch screen controls for portable detective work.L.A. Noire for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One delivers the complete original game and all additional downloadable content with a range of technical enhancements for greater visual fidelity and authenticity, including enhanced lighting and clouds, new cinematic camera angles, high resolution textures and more. L.A. Noire plays natively in 1080p for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles, and stunning 4K for PlayStation 4 Pro and Xbox One X, capturing the grit and grime of the City of Angels like never before. Wow! The rumours were true. Edited September 7, 2017 by Hero-of-Time
Glen-i Posted September 7, 2017 Posted September 7, 2017 (edited) Woah! That's big! Rockstar providing Switch Support, wasn't the DS the last time that happened? I quite liked L.A Noire, when it wasn't a shooter. EDIT: I giggled a bit at the PS4/XBONE version's "enhanced clouds" What an odd thing to point out. Edited September 7, 2017 by Glen-i

Sméagol Posted September 7, 2017 Posted September 7, 2017 (edited) November huh? I've always wanted LA Noir for PC (boxed), but never got around to it. I think I'll get this one for support, with a good chance of getting it day 1. Edit: And then still get the PC version as well for keyboard & mouse controls en upgraded visuals ;).

Glen-i Posted September 7, 2017 Posted September 7, 2017 To be fair, I didn't even know that existed. Is it the prequel to GTA V? 1
killthenet Posted September 7, 2017 Posted September 7, 2017 I only played through the PS3 version last December so it might still be a bit too fresh in the memory to play through it again but I'm happy it's coming to Switch. I might not buy it right away but kind of feel like I need to buy it fairly early on to show support for Rockstar games on the platform.
Aneres11 Posted September 7, 2017 Posted September 7, 2017 I just posted this in other consoles didn't think it was out for Switch til I read it properly. Oh. My. Days. This is one of my favourite ever games it is absolutely sublime I every way. I can't wait to play it again. Yasssss.
Dcubed Posted September 7, 2017 Posted September 7, 2017 Wow! The rumour was actually true! I can't believe it! ... ... They're actually bothering with a remaster of LA Noire! (Oh, and it coming to Switch is a nice surprise too I suppose...) I actually quite liked this game though, despite it's many flaws. Sure it's not very deep and it's pretty easy to figure out how the interrogation works, behind the scenes, and cheese it completely, but it nails the 1950s film noir atmos perfectly. Wouldnt mind picking it up for cheap on Switch
dazzybee Posted September 7, 2017 Posted September 7, 2017 As someone who doesn’t like Garnd Theft Auto games but loves mourner mystery, how does this fit in!
bob Posted September 7, 2017 Posted September 7, 2017 As someone who doesn’t like Garnd Theft Auto games but loves mourner mystery, how does this fit in!Probably closer to a mourner mystery than Garnd Theft Auto, so you're golden. 2 1

Wow, those typos. Spectactular. Seriously though, I hate GTA, but I very much enjoyed L.A. Noire. Like I mentioned above when I wasn't in the shoot-out sections (There's a few), I was having a good time. 1

Kinda funny that they big up the addition of motion controls for shooting when the shoot out sections are easily the worst part of the game Still, at least they won't be AS bad as before, now that they might actually control decently. 1
liger05 Posted September 7, 2017 Posted September 7, 2017 (edited) Wrong hand Rockstar. We want GTAV LA Noire sux Prices : $40 for XBO/PS4 $50 for Switch Good luck with that. Game have switch version at £45 while others £35 Edited September 8, 2017 by liger05

Surely releasing Red Dead Redemption would have been a better move. It's thought very highly of ( LA is very much a marmite game ) and it would have been a great way to drum up excitement for the sequel hitting next year. 1

The "open world" aspect is pretty meaningless and pointless - there's even a skip button for the driving sections. 1
liger05 Posted September 8, 2017 Posted September 8, 2017 (edited) A test possibly to see if there is a demand for LA Noire 2? Edited September 8, 2017 by liger05

They’re re-releasing it on the Xbox and PS4 anyway so makes sense to do it all at once.

Yeah, I know they are also releasing it on those platforms, I just question why they chose this game instead of something like Red Dead which no doubt would have sold a hell of a lot better. Edited September 8, 2017 by Hero-of-Time
Agent Gibbs Posted September 8, 2017 Posted September 8, 2017 I had it on Pc (Steam sale it was less than £10) and played up to the first interrogation, messed it up and switched it off - then something big came out called Destiny and I never went back, but I'm tempted by this a lot
Sméagol Posted September 10, 2017 Posted September 10, 2017 Put my money where my mouth is, and pre-ordered it, despite the Switch tax.

Yeah it's baffling, especially with RDR 2 incoming, you'd think that a remaster of RDR would be a no brainer. LA Noire was easily their least popular game last gen (not counting Table Tennis, obviously). Still, I'm not complaining. I actually like LA Noire, so I'm happy at least Edited September 10, 2017 by Dcubed
Sheikah Posted September 10, 2017 Posted September 10, 2017 Maybe I'm in the minority but I wasn't particularly taken with this game.
