Why would anyone want this or put the effort into a remaster?
Conspiracy theories aside, Rockstar HAS to know that people would double/triple/quadruple dip to have portable GTA 4/5, right? I still haven't played it yet but from what I hear of GTAV, people just can't get enough of it and it's making Rockstar money hand over fist. I'm surprised Rockstar hasn't ported it to anything that can even run it at this point, and I feel like with the reception it's gotten people would buy a Switch just to play it on the go, let alone buy it if they already have the system.
And it came out on PS3 and 360 so it's not like the Switch wouldn't be able to run it, since it's apparently on par with those systems at minimum, if not slightly more powerful?
But since their bread and butter is GTAO maybe it wouldn't be as viable on Switch since we have no effing idea how online will work on it yet.
LA Noire, as a video game, is fundamentally broken right from the design document. It's an interrogation game where you have only ever have three choices, all of which are so badly named that they give you completely the wrong idea of what they mean, and none of which let you know what your character is going to say before he says it. It is routine that you'll pick one choice and have your character say something you absolutely didn't intend.
You only get one chance at every decision, too. Never mind that you're a policeman and you have a criminal suspect in custody; if you ask the wrong question once you never get to ask it again. Video games.
Moreover, it's a detective/investigation game where you are never allowed to accurately solve a case. After one or two tutorial cases, every case in the game ends with you convicting a person you know isn't the real culprit, because those are the only options the game gives you. Later you'll usually have a big dumb shootout with the real bad guy in a mediocre, scripted, 'cinematic' mission. There's no satisfaction to be had here.

GTA Online whilst out and about on a mobile connection? Hahahaha oh lord that would be horrible.
Damn, had no idea that work on RDR2 was so extensive. I.. guess I should probably play it at some point to see what all the fuss is about o:I don't even know if they have the time considering they've got all 9 studios and thousands of employees working on RDR2, even the North branch is slowing off GTA online to work on RDR.
I'm still unsure about this rumor given its weird timing unless they're trying to keep the IP relevant and have been working on a sequel in secret.

Why?
I mean seriously..why?*
No one asked for this.
And THIS is exactly the reason why no one asked for it.
Such a shame that the impressive facial expressions, the interesting setting and the great premise were all ruined by terrible gameplay/game design.
In that regard it was even worse than GTA 4.
*obviously to make a quick buck, no need to point that out.
I asked for this.
If they're releasing it on the Switch, why not just remaster it for current gen? Unless Nintendo has specifically commissioned this game which seems atypical of them.
And then they would later complain that nobody buys a thing that nobody asks, lol.
If Rockstar really does do this it will be a big troll and middle finger to Nintendo fans. I mean there hasn't been a gta on a Nintendo "home" console ever. The fact they would greenlight this that's kind of funny.

I don't really care but if it comes out, I "might" buy it. I "heard" it's quite good.

There is no fun in thatI think we're well past due for a title change. People clearly aren't reading the part of the rumor about it coming to PS4 and Xbone as well.

Gimme "Whore of the Orient"
Also if you feel a bit stuck you can use Lie, Cole will typically indicate which clue should be used or if Lie is the wrong way to go and you can easily back out.
The ending for this game made my blood boil.
Hey, I'm all for a tragic ending done well (you know, like /that/ other game of theirs) but this was intentionally made to infuriate you. It's the only thing they succeded at.Rockstar did seem to be in the middle of their "Happy Endings Don't Exist" faze when this was made.
Well I mean I specifically mention GTAO in my post but I'd think with how positive people are about the game as a whole, they'd want to play it on the go. Or is the glowing reception purely for the Online aspect and nobody really gives a shit about the single player mode or dicking around in the city offline?
You really shouldn't ...Always wanted to play it, never did get around to it. I'd definitely go all in
Believe it or not, but remakes/remasters are just as much for the developers as it is for consumers... Typically new tech is being tested for future games. Last gen was plagued with remasters/remakes, but the tech also got better.Why would anyone want this or put the effort into a remaster?

Damn, had no idea that work on RDR2 was so extensive. I.. guess I should probably play it at some point to see what all the fuss is about o:
Project is dead, pretty much That and whatever was left of Team Bondi scattered to the wind.Gimme "Whore of the Orient"
So whatever happened with Brendan McNamara?
