The locomotion/gameplay elements actually were pretty GTA/RDR-like. At least, the driving "weight" and the walking movements were GTA-like, which is sort of appealing to me. While I was frustrated that Niko ran around like he had a load in his pants, it's predictable and once you get used to it, feels more natural. Although, it still always did feel rather imprecise, but I'm thinking, in a crime drama, that's probably not as important.
Oh and then at one part, the recorder person decides to turn his camera side ways for absolutely no reason.

you can already do this EXACT same thing in RDR. You can cancel any single story mission in the game and still progress. I fail to see what the difference is here you drama queens. RDR was a SENSATIONAL "gamer's game". To expect this will be any different based on this one thing (that already exists in games) is stupidity in action.
edit - oh yeah, AND you can REPLAY any single mission in RDR... seriously... do you people really not know this?? Nothing being announced here is any different than the game R* JUST released last year.. you know the game that got amazing reviews and everyone said was a great game??

Haha! I honestly thought people like this were weeded out on NeoGAF.
Either way, somebody has to have a link of this video? It's been taken down!
You hated almost every second of a game like RDR and you are picking this up? You are either very foolish or very umm... I guess I don't know. RDR was unarguably the height of the genre this gen so far, and though this is Team Bondi, it would be ignorant to assume Rockstar didn't have considerable input into this as well. I mean good luck and all, but I am shocked that you "hated" RDR and are still giving this even a sideways glance. But yeah, good luck I suppose.Ickman3400 said:
Regardless though, RDR incorporated exactly what is being talked about here and it didn't affect the game or the level of difficulty in the slightest. So those concerns are seeming rather baseless ATM.

Police Quest 2 did that back in 1988.
Had some great dialog between Sonny and Keith, and kept things interesting when chasing leads.

This game is nothing like gta 4 and RDR thankfully otherwise I wouldn't pick it up. I know what kind of game I'm getting here unlike what R* was telling me I was going to get with RDR only to find a giant empty boring land with a couple different missions the entire game (like gta4!).

Make sure you type "look both ways" before crossing the street. And why was Sonny blonde?
While I don't disagree with the vastness and emptiness of it, as has been pointed out... That's the old west. Not quite sure why you would expect it to be different (gta 4 of course is a different story). To each their own though. My only point was the mechanic being talked about here had no bearing on the difficulty of RDR, so there is no reason to imagine it will have a bearing here. If this game is easy or not, it won't be because you cam skip missions.Ickman3400 said:

It was a hold-over from Police Quest 1. At the end of the first game, Sonny needed to go undercover and infiltrate Bains' poker game, a job that required him to shift his appearance by dyeing his hair blonde. Of course, it was entirely pointless, since Bains still recognized him from a newspaper photo. But...
EDIT: Actually, if you think Sonny looks odd, you should see the Japanese version of Police Quest II. They completely changed the character designs.

hmm some people...I don't get how you could hate RDR (the best of the best in it's genre) and get LA Noire. Juniors these days...
Anyways, fuck that guy! I'm pumped for this game!
Rockstar (I know they aren't developing this, but you'd be silly not to think they threw in a bunch of input and work themselves) is really taking it to a whole new level with their games. GTA IV was the worst they put out this generation, and that's a big achievement.
Hopefully Team Bondi can actually put out a game that plays solid for once (which I think they finally will with this) and Rockstar can snatch them up as a one of their new branches.
(p.s. RDR was supposed to be huge, vast, and desolate. It's the goddamn untamed west! What did you expect?! It's all about exploration and the experience of being on your own against the wilderness/elements/random ass crazy people you meet)

Really? You really can't see the major differences between the two games and why a person would gravitate towards LA Noire over RDR? You must be blind as fuck.
Let me see...
1) You're not a criminal. Which makes a huge difference in narrative.
2) You interrogate suspects and such to unravel clues.
3) Investigating crime scenes for clues.
4) Work your way through the ranks through a variety of different departments.
RDR is basically GTA in the wild west with an equally poor storyline and empty ass environments with more "shit to do" (collect and do pointless shit).
You honestly can't see how the two games are different on even a fundamental level?

dyed his hair. I like spoiler tagging stuff.
He looks kind of like the Hero from QFG in the Japanese pic.

Core game is based around investigations with car parts and on foot action sprinkled in. It's open world and random side cases pop up on your radio which you can do and not have to worry about losing progress on a core case.
You can take people's cars by flashing your badge though it's unclear if you can mow people down (i hope not). I know plenty about this game.

what an awesome fucking wowsome idea. Tech might not be there yet, but I'd love to see this someday.140.85 said:I'm really surprised they haven't thought up something more cinematic and engaging for the driving-to-location-X-with-partner parts. Some sort of spilt screen effect with interesting camera angles or something would make those parts really stand out and more rewarding IMO. And, of course, just make it optional in settings. Too much work? Then just do it for the most pivotal conversations.
Here's a stupid example:

People complaining about the skip feature are... well, silly. The skip feature existing literally has no effect on you whatsoever. None. At all. Just play the game and don't worry about all that jazz. Everyone can still have fun with the game.
I am looking forward to LA Noire for a couple of reasons... for one, you get to play as the good guy. I've always been annoyed by GTA games a little, cause I hate playing as vicious sociopathic nuts. RDR was a step in the right direction, for me anyways... cause I played that as a good guy, and that was one of the reasons I really enjoyed it. Or, a mostly good guy. Also, solving crime, chasing down serial killers, fighting corruption, this all really interesting stuff. As long as the gameplay and central narrative hold up and doesn't have a meandering second act like in RDR, then I think it'll turn out awesome.

1) Not really a criminal in RDR either. John Marsten WAS a criminal but you play him in the story as someone working for the law. Perhaps, not by his rules, but regardless, he is a lawman of sorts. And someone concerned with justice. Just like in LA Noire.
2) You do interrogate suspects, but not in the same way. It' all in cutscenes. But you unravel clues to find the man that you are hunting down. Albeit, in a different way, but nonetheless.
3) No investigating in RDR. Unless you can say shooting people is a way of investigating them.
4) Could you say you work your way up in rank in RDR? You do in terms of the way people perceive you based on your actions. You also work your way through people higher up on the ladder to find who you're looking for.
Shit, they may be pretty similar.
Really, I know they're mechanically different-- majorly in the inspection of crime scenes and interrogation, but they do have similarities. It's not that far out to say if you like RDR, you would have a good chance of liking LA Noire. Hell, it's easy to say if you liked GTA IV you'll like LA Noire.

Rockstar hasn't disappointed me yet this gen, so I'm pretty excited.
I also LOVED The Getaway, so I'm even more
Excited about the team behind this.
I'm on a media blackout but does anybody know if you can go bad cop during the interrogations?

If you take a taxi with a partner in GTA IV in missions where it's allowed to take taxis, you can already get this kind of effect. Not exactly but still. You should try it out.

Unfortunately yes. There's even a trophy for it like RDR did with "Dastardly". As stated before by me I will role play the fuck out of this to avoid these kind of unfitting situations.

Taking the Alone in The Dark DVD-route it seems.
I think this stuff is a brilliant move for players who aren't very good at playing games but want a point and click style laidback detective adventure.
Also because missions can be replayed for better scores and to make other choices, you can skip all the action filler.
Seems like a great addition to me and if you don't like, just don't use it. Accessibility is king and one of the things this generation got right to an extent.

I would agree, although it's stupid the way they're pushing it. It seems to have more to do with the player being engrossed in the story than accessibility, which I think is BS, but whatever.StevePharma said:

L.A. Noire Sucks!
...you in!
L.A. Noire sucks in the gamer, in a way that is refreshing, to the extent where the mystery of the blanks become a distinct requirement destined to be filled in. It's a game which sucks to the point where, you won't be content taking a break and waiting, you'll want to see it through, you'll stop at nothing until there's some resolution. The game builds up the drama, the tension, the hatred for the criminal, sucks you in, then eschews time itself and leaves you at the precipice of finality. There's a number of games that offer a "one last go" factor, but L.A. Noire provides similar motives, but in a unique way that can only be described as a gripping hand pulling you into its world, placing you into a chair, tightening the knots around bounding ropes, and clasping both hands around your neck for a murderous kill, yet at the same time keeping you well alive to fathom and escape the clever puzzles it presents to you. L.A Noire truly does suck, but for all the right reasons. Perhaps take some time off work come May 20th, because that chair is not going to be easy to escape from.

I wasn't a criminal in RDR.
While RDR was the mechanics of GTA in the wild west... it was 10 times a fuller game than GTAIV was. And I despise how people complain about the empty environments in RDR.... Why? Because if they weren't empty IT WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN THE UNCIVILIZED WILD WEST... smh...
but I digress. LA Noire looks outstanding.
Is it regular for a R* game not to have properly released actual gameplay this close to release?
I'd kind of expected something small, like a side story mission just to show how a fight scene, car chase and the exploration of a scene is like - from start to finish...
So far there has just been glimpses of this in the trailers... :-/

It took place in 1911, the Wild West didn't really exist at that time. It was pretty much over. And besides the Wild West wasn't that uncivilized. Most people didn't go around blazing guns, kidnapping, robbing, and whatever other cliches we associate with that nebulous time period. A lot of what has been ingrained in our minds and presented in RDR took place over decades if not more than a century. There was plenty of gun control going on, too. I think the thing they got the most accurate was the Mexican revolution. But overall, most people, like today, wanted to live simple quiet lives and did so as much as anyone could at that time.
As I recal, GTA IV gameplay was never shown by Rockstar themselves. The only gameplay I saw before the release were leaked gifs, and this was very close to the release date.Juno said:
Don't think they ever showed proper RDR gameplay either. Only in engine stuff in videos similar to the L.A. Noire ones that've been shown so far.
But I might be mistaken in the case of RDR.
