Still think porting this to any current gen platform is a weird choice. While not awful, it's not a particularly good game.
I thought the game was well received ?

What we really need.
L.A. Noire was horrible. I loved the premise and everything around it but the execution is just laughably bad.

Don't know if I want this. I played the original and liked the gathering clues bit but I don't remember the interrogations ever feeling right, and that's a big part of the game.
I didn't go back to see if those were bugs or if it was working as expected though.

Where's my RDR on PS4?
LA Noire is an underwhelming announcement personally.

Unless I'm missing something - I find it hilarious that they went through the effort of doing the HTC Vive VR content, but seemingly have no mention of any updates to the rest of the game on PC.
Great game, but the PC version has some old ass rockstar jank to it that sorely needs work

Nope, it's just bad. The only thing poorly thought out was the game design. You can't blame players for that.

I'll grab the switch version way down the line when it drops in price a good amount.
Fan reception was tepid and a bit divisive upon release. The further away we get the more I think people feel more negatively than they do positively toward the game.

No mention of developer in the press release or poster boilerplate. Also no credit to Team Bondi/KMM (or Brendan McNamara for that matter) anywhere in the announcement or marketing or updated official site. Classy.
Thank you.
If only.
LA Noire Redemption.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
MP 3 is a game that has a lot of video files linking things together, did the PC version ship with 1080p video files ? If yes, then Yes I would love that too.

It's a AAA detective game that's about talking with people and collecting evidence and investigating crimes, with some shooting and chases as well. Add the notion that an open world has to be like GTA or else it's flawed or wrong, as well as the game's design flaws and weaknesses, and of course it was divisive

I think I will do a failthrough where I fuck up every case by getting all the questions wrong
Probably the least replayable Rockstar game for me. I remember this game being a fun ride but once the credits rolled I had no desire to go back and explore the world.
I want this game to sell but I don't think I can bring myself to double dip on this. I probably would have been in on a remaster of literally any other game they released in the past 10 years. This feels like a self-fulfilling prophecy.

That isn't really the point when the experience possible between the two are so different, depending on what the developer intends to do - eg roomscale walking rather than forward facing only. Sounds like more of an experiment than anything else, and that experimentation is pretty much the Vive's ball park
Probably as always, the game cards.

Is there no PC version (non VR) or have I missed something?

Where are you all getting prices from?
PC version is out already?
I just wonder if they are going to be nice and update the game with the higher res assets for free...
The physical cartridges are more expensive to produce (not to mention increased costs from the lower production volumes). Might also be a higher platform royalty fee than MS and Sony
Starting to think this should be expected going forward.

My guess would be that the VR game would be primarily the interrogation sequences, putting you face to face with the characters. You'd also have various scene investigation areas to explore and look around in. Cutscenes would bridge the story points to simplify travel and narrative, and maybe on-rails shooting or driving sequences would kick in for action. It wouldn't be the full game, and wouldn't be something that would be complete enough to reinvest in the non-VR PC presentation.
If enhancements made to the new versions was viable (although let's not kid ourselves, these remasters will have jank, it's inherent to what is the original game's technology, unless you're talking encryption or something PC-specific?) it'd be good to flip it back down to PC, but having no screenshots to go off of for this "range of technical enhancements", I'm curious to see if it's possible to make a difference with this game?

The game barely ran on last gen consoles. There's no way the switch is getting enhanced visuals other than better IQ.

Yeah. "A" PC version is out already.
Is it getting all the graphical upgrades?
Will we have to pay if So?

Apologies if this has been asked and answered a million times already, but are these new games, or remasters of the original LA Noire?
Always loved the concept of LA Noire, just not the execution. I'd be in for another attempt, but not a re-release.

Well that's one benefit the switch has in not having ultra high definition.
Remasters of the original.

Enchanced ports and a VR rejigger of older cases.
I for one would much rather have a somewhat lackluster and poorly written detective story with ho-hum gameplay than the fantastic shootouts of Max Payne 3 that's for sure.

I really enjoyed the game the first time I played it however I remember going back to it a few years later and the game felt so stiff. I'm not sure it would really hold up today for me personally without the movement being revamped.

The NS version also has motion controls and gyro aiming. That detail can make all the difference for someone...like me.
