A remaster of 2011's L.A. Noire may be hitting the Nintendo Switch, says the tipster known by the handle Yan2295. He tweeted yesterday:

According to what I heard, Rockstar might be releasing a remastered version of L.A. Noire on the Nintendo Switch.
Yan2295 helps run the Grand Theft Auto Network France and has been known to leak GTA and Rockstar news in the past. His leaking record does have some rough spots, but he has been correct on some important leaks, such as reporting on the existence of the Bikers expansion several months before it was announced by Rockstar. Still, despite the source's track record, this falls firmly into the ”rumour" camp until confirmed by either Rockstar or Nintendo.

He seems to leaked some things related to GTA Series in past.Lock if thread is aganist rules.


Would you buy LA Noire Remaster?

Edit 1 : Another Twitter/Source says also this

"Regarding LA Noire Remaster, the title is sounding like it'll come to Switch, PS4, and Xbox One. Release slated for late summer."

Another source says it's coming to Switch, PS4 and Xbox One this summer

 

[wanders]

Why

 

[Reptars Revenge]

Gimme "Whore of the Orient"

 

[WadiumArcadium]

That's one remaster I didn't see coming.

 

[dex3108]

Would you buy LA Noire Remaster?

If it is true i will laugh so hard.

 

[KraytarJ]

Literally anything else would be a better choice.

 

[SuperSah]

Remastered? Yes.

Port? No.

 

[XaosWolf]

Why

Exactly this.

 

[TheGhostSix]

Of all the Switch rumors, this is the one that makes me scream "YEAH, RIGHT" the loudest.

 

[Miker]

LA Noire Remaster?

For the Switch?

Based on a tweet from a guy?

C'mon son.

 

[ArcanineEX]

This is like an image equivalent of "My dad works at X".

 

[udivision]

...okay....

 

[Jito]

Doubt it.

 

[maquiladora]

If it's coming to Switch, I guess it's coming to other platforms too.

 

[liquidtmd]

I felt it was a game I appreciate more than I actually liked.

Didn't like GTAIV or L.A Noire really. Rest of Rockstars output is aces though.

 

[Dragnet]

 

[purseowner]

Doubt.

Spoiler

Nah, it's definitely happening.

 

[//DEVIL//]

Why ?

...... Why ???

 

[eizarus]

Gimme "Whore of the Orient"

Thought it got cancelled?

 

[Toki767]

They should've went with Red Dead Redemption instead.

 

[TheCowboyPoet]

It's like Nintendo just discovered 2011.

 

[brawly]

They're going all the way for this bomb.

 

[JetSetRadio]

Day one

 

[Okami Haundo]

If this is somehow true, I hope it ends up being a remaster for Xbox and PS4 as well. That would be the strangest title for Rockstar to revive for just the Switch.

 

[Hattori]

monkey's paw

 

[nath999]

Of all games why LA Noire? That doesn't seem like a game anyone would really care to revisit nor does it seem like a game Nintendo fans want to play.

 

[kulapik]

 

[Alienous]

I wouldn't be surprised at Rockstar giving Nintendo backhanded support like that.

"Let's see how you can handle L.A Noire before we give you any of the big stuff".

 

[SinCityAssassin]

I thought we were supposed to not do twitter rumors anymore.

 

[DrWong]

This rumour was already floating around in the old nx/switch threads.

 

[old manatee]

Game of the Show

 

[AlexFlame116]

Probably the last thing I ever expected to be announced...

 

[Ladekabel]

Of all the titles Rockstar could be porting/remastering for Switch, I'll laugh the hardest if it is LA Noire.

Not because it is bad game but because it is the one that makes the least sense to me.

 

[Bsigg12]

Quick someone post all the fantastic gifs from that game!

 

[Anteo]

Would you buy LA Noire Remaster?

Nah, if I wanted to play LA Noire I would buy the PC version.

 

[AmuroChan]

When people are asking for third support for the Switch, this is probably not what they have in mind.

 

[DieH@rd]

Here it goes, another old game with insane Switch pricing.

 

[Kayant]

Of all the platforms to get a remaster like this switch seems like an odd choice.

Spoiler

Fake as hell!!!

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

OOOOO a twitter rumor, my favourite.

 

[Reptars Revenge]

Thought it got cancelled?

Hahah they were just saving it for the Switch along with Agent

 

[nckillthegrimace]

That's incredibly stupid, so it's probably true.

 

[Cubas]

This is so bizarre and unexpected that it might just be true.

 

[Jonneh3003]

Perfect aha

It would be great if it happens, would love playing this on the go.

 

[JStein0222]

Literally anything else would be a better choice.

Yep. I'm actually hoping this isn't coming.

 

[Killthee]

Out of all their games that's the one they decide to port to Switch? LOL

 

[Tagyhag]

That's a weird one to remaster, while obviously it'd be less work than a full blown remake of something like Vice City or San Andreas, you'd assume that Max Payne 3 would do better sales-wise as a remaster.

That said, if this is true, it's a good thing that I haven't played Noire yet.

 

[Woffls]

R* meeting notes: "What's the best way of showing that there's no market for our games on this system so we don't have to publish GTA on it"

 

[Lostconfused]

Of all the titles Rockstar could be porting/remastering for Switch, I'll laugh the hardest if it is LA Noire.

Not because it is bad game but because it is the one that makes the least sense to me.

But also because it's a bad game.

 

[KingSnake]

I think this was hinted (by Vern?) also around here.

Anyhow a L.A. Noire remaster is such a poor idea. Who asked for this? A GTA V port would be 1000 times better.
