I think there was a rumor thread about it like a month ago.
Which reminds me I think Bully is cheap as fuck on PS4 store and I need to grab it.

LA Noire killed my family, and even I don't feel that strongly about the game.

It's not gonna be on the Switch but why does it have to be exclusive?
It won't be 60FPS, even the PC version is locked at 30. Unlocking it messes with the lip sync and physics, supposedly.

Who asked for this?
That's probably true. Still, I'd be happy just having Vice City, RDR and Bully on Switch so I can play them on my bed.

Can they fix it so that the character doesn't make stupid decisions that make no sense whatsoever?

Nice. Was looking at getting the complete edition on PS3 soon, now I don't have to.
Really, a pillar? Bro pls. It sold well because nearly every anything slapped with the Rockstar name seems to sell well.

You're right. I wonder how would the VR version work if the faces are captured at 30fps. Here's hoping the raw footage of faces are captured at higher fps but they didn't utilize them for the original PC port.
They still want it to be a big franchise. A sequel is definitely in the works. I hope it's developed by a Rockstar studio though.

Day1! Can't wait.
In the works by who? Team Bondi doesn't even exist anymore.

Bought the PC version a while back. Lovely atmosphere, but dreadfully dull gameplay and "story".

Yes please... No more fucking LOADING
Seriously. The way I see it, it's just a matter of porting the PC version with a few important points to address.
1) 60 FPS
2) Fix the artificial loading (and improve load times in general where possible)
3) Include all of the DLC content

Still haven't played it on PC because of the loading...

Always been fairly interested in this game, so I'll likely pick up the Switch version.
I wonder if Rockstar will port over GTAV as well. I wouldn't be interested in it but I'm sure a ton of other people would be.

Genuinely surprised this thread is so long considering how poorly received this game is and how little people seemed to care about it... Are people this happy that Rockstar is supporting the switch with a throw-away remaster of a dead franchise that never was?
Mario and Xenoblade are coming out this fall Switch owners -- please don't waste your time and money on what is likely to be a full priced remaster when you've got better options. And definitely don't buy this game based on the hopes of getting a RDR or GTAV remaster. If they were going to port one of those exponentially more popular series, they would have chosen that versus LA Noire.

This is just the.... strangest fuckin thing. there were a couple bright points in this game but overall it was monotonous as fuuuuuuuuuck...
honestly really enjoyed watching mah dude elevate in the police force. From beat cop to homicide but the game itself for the most part felt.... kind of shite? Like there are only a few things I can actually remember super well about it.
Late game spoiler talk:
and as mentioned a few times so far - I don't feel this Face Tech is gonna age super well. All those weird af "I think your lying" speeches in glorious 4k ...
Option 1. Unsure
"Well Janice we did find his brand of smokes in your house. We know you guys were seeing each other before he got hired at BigStrong Iron ... are you sure he didn't contact you?
Option 2. Suspect she's a liar
"YOU FUCKING HARLOT! I've been dealing with dames like you ALL MY LIFE! I know you cheated on him! And stole your fathers retirement watch to buy the gun! I'll Kill You!!!"
this game lol

Late game spoiler talk:
The last Killer was a flamethrower dude who picked up a serious pack of PTSD in WW2 right? Like accidentally killed civilians and stuff clearing out caves or something? Am I remembering that correctly?

this game lol
Poorly received?
The game has a 89 metacritic score, 7.8 user score with over 1,000 reviews
And on Steam it has a "very positive" score with over 10,000 reviews
Just cuz there are a bunch of vocal people on gaf that dont like the game doesnt make it poorly received, there are plenty of people in this thread that like the game.
I for one think its one of the best games of last Gen

Yeah but it's a third party game on the Switch.
This whole thing reeks of T2 needing a game this holiday, but not wanting to expend their resources solely on the Switch with a GTA V port and not wanting to remaster RDR (because it's either held together by duct tape or because it would eat into RDR2's sales).
So we're left with... this.

Switch version will be mine. No way I'm not taking part in this iconic movement.
Who is left, now that we have Rockstar and Bethesda on Switch?

Review scores (especially aggregate) are not the end-all, be-all of reception... MGS4 and MGS5 have both received a 94 and 95, respectively, on Metacritic. Most people would agree that both of those review scores do not accurately reflect the quality of the game, and most people would also dock at least 10 points off of each to more accurately reflect the quality of the game.
LA Noire reviewed well but it's actual reception is not accurately reflected in it's Metascore. If you want to hang your hat on a Metacritic score and you personally liked the game, that's fine, but using that in order to gauge reception is a fairly weak foundation to build upon.
Did you miss where I gave you user reviews too

Wasn't too hard to believe when Vita existed. Switch is definitely a sizeable step up from that, but the evidence was there. Even some of the stuff on IOS at the time signaled we were getting somewhere interesting with mobile tech.
On topic, I'm in for the Switch version assuming it also gets the appropriate new upgrades it can handle. Not being 1080p docked would definitely be a shame, but I play in handheld mode most of the time anyway. Maybe this rerelease is a bigger overhaul than I'm expecting. Hopefully 720p in handheld mode (not too much to ask).
Releasing at the same time as the other versions gives me hope for a good price. This wasn't really something people seemed to be asking for either.
Edit: Damn, $40 for XBO/PS4 $50 for Switch. I was hoping they'd all be $40 ($32 with gcu).

So is switch tax a thing now or why is this 10 $ more expensive on the switch?

I don't know if we will ever see anything Manhunt related again after the controversy with Manhunt 2.
Honestly, I hope that isn't the case. The NS should be able to run the game at 1080p if they didn't do anything to it.
It's a shame, too, because I really liked Manhunt 2 and it would be great to play it again with all of the motions without the red overlay every time an execution is performed.

I was as disappointed with LA Noire as the next guy, but going to something even more pure trash isn't the answer.
Disclaimer: I only played Manhunt 2. It's trash.

Promising that all rockstar games are going to have to be able to run on something with 1/2 the power of an og x1 and 2 Gb of ram for the next 5 years? Boo.
