L.A. Noire Coming to PS3 and Xbox 360 May 17 in North America, May 20 in Europe

Posted on January 24 2011, 8:00am | Author: R* Q | Filed Under: Games

L.A. Noire, the groundbreaking new crime thriller developed in a special partnership between Rockstar Games and Team Bondi, will be available on the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3 on May 17th in North America and May 20th in Europe.

Set amid the violence and corruption of post-war Los Angeles, L.A. Noire seamlessly blends crime-solving, clue-finding, car chases and shoot-outs with revolutionary new interrogation-based gameplay that will allow players to read characters' emotions in order to reveal the truth. Players will take on the role of Cole Phelps, a decorated World War II veteran who rises through the ranks of the LAPD, solving a series of gruesome murders and other crimes that bring him face to face with the dark heart of Los Angeles during Hollywood’s Golden Age.

L.A. Noire employs ground-breaking new MotionScan performance-scanning technology, which utilizes 32 high-definition cameras to capture actors’ faces in 3D, transferring every aspect of the performance into the game, enabling players for the first time to lip-read in-game characters and to read every facial expression down to the finest detail.

Check out the all-new Official Trailer #2 today at noon, in high definition at www.rockstargames.com/lanoire and the Rockstar site Videos section.

      If it doesent have a multiplayer i wont buy it, i feel sorry for those who have already prepaid. With most consoles networked these days MP is nearly a standard feature in all games. Once i beat 1P mode i play the game easily 5x as much in multiplayer. so to me at least, without the MP it's easily one fifth the game. If La Noire is 1p only I'll just keep playing my gta and rdr online instead of buying La noir. please dont loose your way R* - PSN ORPHAN-FOUR

        It's going to be an interesting game, hopefully one hell of a ride.

          I don't think they're addressing the elephant in the room (multiplayer) because once they let everybody know that there is no way to play with their friends they're going to lose a lot of preorders. People on other forums/boards were asking 'well how would you even do that as a cop?'
          Gee, I dunno, maybe have a partner like in real life? There could be several scenarios.. trying to stop a bank robbery, maybe a hostage situation where it's 10-1 and the crook has to get away with the hostage or the loot, who knows? It would work.
          If there's no multiplayer it doesn't mean I'm not buying it, it just means that i'll be picking up a used copy sooner or later.

                              Why oh why go down the route of different additions according to where you buy from?
                              This is another game I would love to buy but if I can only get certain content from certain retailers then it's a no sale for me.

                                      The previews promise great things... I was thinking, to pre-order it... But I'm afraid, in two weeeks there will be a special edition or sth like that like in RDR, and then I will have ordered the "normal" Version...
                                      Over all I can't stand to wait for it...

                                        i just saw the new pre-order special edition (or should i say editions) for this game and i am appalled, what happened to releasing a game with everything intact, not hold out on certain missions or features of the game. the whole point of DLC is to add on to an already complete game in order to make it better, not sell a half-a$$ game and then release content that should already be with the game to begin with. rockstar i really thought you were better than that.
