And you really shouldn't insult someone because they have a family. Plus, it has a skip feature, I thought you were done with this game for babying to the losers with families who can't devote enough time to gaming?
I honestly don't see how somebody could despise RDR and find this even remotely interesting. Yes, it will have investigations ... but the core of the game looks MUCH like GTA IV and RDR. That part is just unavoidable.
So you would have liked RDR if you could collect clues? LOL

I didn't insult anyone. I said people make certain choices in life and they should know everything they're getting and I'm tired of people whining about no time because of it. A big reason I don't have kids is because I like having lots of free time and being able to relax after work.
Also never said I was "done" with this game, don't put words in my mouth. This game has nothing similar to RDR or GTA 4. The condescending "would you like RDR if it had clues lolol" doesn't make sense because you throw investigations in like it's a mini game. It is the meat of LA Noire, the driving and shooting is the mini game.

I liked GTA4 and hated RDR, so idk I guess it's possible. This game looks amazing. RDR was so dreadfully boring I can't begin to explain. I could just write paragraphs of rage about it. It's the first game i've ever traded in and it started a trend, eventually I decided to trade in stuff I didn't play anymore but RDR was the first, about a week after I beat it and felt bad for buying it day one.
At least this game has a gorgeous city you'll be able to check out, I love noir films and the seedy hollywood detective stuff of the 40s/50s. It just looks exactly like my kind of game. I actually love westerns as well but RDR just did not do it for me. I was expecting an epic Sergio Leone kind of adventure and it was just not that at all. I suppose westerns should only be limited to 2-3 hours instead of stretched out to 12 where 1/4 of the game is wrangling up cows or doing long menial chores for people you don't care about. The stupid forced uncle family shit was worse than planet scanning in ME2. It was like the most tedious thing out of all the games i've played this gen. At least it had a great ending though

While I'd agree that GTA4 was a giant, empty city, I'd disagree with RDR. The side quests and collection side quests of RDR packed the wilderness with stuff to do and things to find. The natural flora & fauna, that the player could actually interact with, gave the wilderness life, IMO.
I'm hoping that they can add similar components to LA, but I'm not sure how it would be done.
*edit*
Those new screens make me wet myself. The character interaction in that last one just looks authentic.

But it still is 'A Rockstar Game'. Rockstar NYC is very involved in the creation of the game.Ickman3400 said:
It won't be just like RDR or GTA IV . . . it is based on a different engine.

wow the city looks awesome. i wonder if they're going to have random encounters / events which would be cool. just a dead city with people walking would be disappointing and something i wouldn't expect from rockstar. though just police work seems fun, i hope there are other activities/side missions you can do.
"wild west" or "old west" is typically recognized from early 19th century to around 1920. now I won't argue that much of RDR was in fact "cliche hollywood westerns hokum", but when most of us talk about wanting fiction in the old west.. sadly this is what we mean.VistraNorrez said:
now with that being said, there are some points that still stand.. in the areas that this game is taking place in, things really were uncivilized. This isn't to say that everyone was a gun toting savage.. but the land was very sparsely populated, things like irrigation and paved roads certainly didn't exist outside of the most densely populated areas, and given the vastness of open area and relative miniscule size of law enforcement, there most certainly was a lot of crime and gangs. Not quite as bad as the westerns romanticize it, but exaggerated at best, not entirely fabricated.
so no, RDR was not a factual account of sothwestern US in 1911.. but it IS a beautiful recreation of the better western movies that many of us love, something that flat out hasn't existed in video games or even interactive entertainment in general.
now to get this on track..... the EXACT same can be said about LA Noire in that we don't get too many golden age of hollywood games, let alone film noire stories to boot. So I'm sure cinematic liberties will be taken here as well... but at some point you have to cut them some slack... genre buffs have had 30 years of gaming without these types of games... you have to understand us getting overly passionate when we finally not only get games in these genres, but genuinely GOOD games to boot, even if they aren't your cup of tea.
as for pre-orders.. I'm actually thinking about target.. so far they have the only bonus (t-shirt) that you won't be able to get after release. if this is anything like RDR (both in size and DLC releases) it will be a long time before I care about access to the pre-order DLC and I have no problem paying for any/all of it.
edit - and while I don't think this will be even a lot like GTAIV/RDR, I also think some of you are in for a rude awakening as to the driving and action sequences. I mean there is no way you could do a 40s noir story WITHOUT these elements.
I'd be highly surprised if there wasn't. From what I've read you'll be able to intercept 911 calls from your car (I guess) and this image seems to show some sort of slot machine:macfoshizzle said:
I'm very curious about what else you can expect outside of the main story. Probably beeing flagged down by purse snatchees. Maybe stopping street brawls.
For me, I just hope there's some sort of free mode wherein you can Fuck Shit Up without much repercussion. I know this isn't GTA. But still.

All this L.A. Noire footage has me really hyped, I'm pretty damn excited for this game and I haven't been this excited for a game since..........probably God of War 3. I went back and starting playing GTA 4 and RDR because I never beat them (didn't get far in RDR) because I want my body ready for LA Noire

yeah same here. you give a gamer a huge 8 sq miles of city terrain, once in awhile you'll want to fuck shit up from time to time just for shits and giggles. i know when i first boot up the game and i'm in the city, first thing i'll have the urg to do is go up against some dude or chick on the street and see what happens if beat the shit out of them or shoot them point blank in full daylight just to see what happens.. or drive off a cliff, drive into someones back yard with a pool, run over pedestrians, try to blow up a gas station.. especially in a city that looks like it's from leave it to beaver.

I hope LA Noire has awesome physics... RDR's Euphoria animations were so amazing. I went out of my way to shoot people just cause it looked amazing. But only bad people. Max Payne 3's also gonna use Euphoria, and that'll look godly... kinda hopin' LA Noire will use it as well, though since someone mentioned Team Bondi's using their own engine, I guess they won't use Euphoria?
euphoria is only the physics/procedural animation engine. there is absolutely no reason Team Bondi couldn't be using it, though we probably won't know for sure until the game releases.NotTheGuyYouKill said:
agreed though. Euphoria in RDR was a HUUUGE improvement over GTAIV. Still not sure about RAGE in an urban/crowded environment, but Euphoria IMHO beats Physx for best current physics/procedural animation engine.

In the recent video, the way they walked down the stairs is very reminiscent of the Euphoria engine. I would hope they'd utilize the tech, it's so amazing.

Wow. You missed out on arguably one of the best single-player experiences this generation. New Austin was alive, and filled to the brim with places to explore. You've done yourself a disservice.

Have there been ANY screens posted of actual interactive gameplay? All I keep seeing is the cinematic stuff.

Why? Because McNamara has never been able to make a game with half-way decent controls and gameplay before this? Outside of a bloody dialogue selection box and "scan for clues", what is so different about this game that makes you think it has "nothing similar" to RDR or GTA4 when everything from walking to gun combat to driving look eerily similar to games by R* north?
borghe said:
Euphoria in RDR was pretty good in terms of all the hit reaction but the controls was actually not very responsive, as far as procedural animations go, Euphoria is still on top but controls-wise not so great.
yeah, I agree with you on controls. Games like Arkham Asylum stomp on RDR and GTAIV... but I'm not so sure how much of that is Euphoria... because things that are definitely RAGE (camera for example) led to some of those problems/deficiencies. but yeah, I was more or less talking about ragdoll physics and collision detection/reaction along with procedural animation. RDR may actually be the best this gen so far in those respects.MalboroRed said:

You have to remember what David Cage said about the tech that they're using. A lot of people attacked him but it's possible that he knows a lot more than some give him credit for.

I beat the game. How did I do myself a disservice when I enjoyed nothing past the Marshall and Bonnie? You turn frm a badass to an errand boy doing favors for shitty characters all over while he spits out idle threats all game long.
Wasn't too impressed with the ending either. Yes, the real ending.

That looks like an image from the Social Club (edit: nvm I just checked the image name) like they did with RDR looking at the legend circles while comparing stats with a friend.
Also map looks pretty cool.

The ESRB listed it for PC too but sadly that was just a typo. :/ They worked over 5 years on this game with a lot of trouble in development, i have no hope for this beeing released on PC. I think they are sick of this game and want to move on. I mean i would.
