You think Rockstar has some talented people working for them? Wow. Everything they touch turns to gold. Can't wait to experience this game. I'm still riding a high from Red Dead.

Really interesting interview there. It's amazing how far they've come with this. I'll have to be looking out for Team Bondi in the future if they develop more games like this. Interestingly a couple desks were left out from their original plan (burglary and fraud)

Great read.

Favorite line:

This game is about personal interactions and humanity

Re: L.A. Noire (PS3/360)

Like you guys I'm really excited. I'm short on cash at the moment though so I have to decide which games I trade in to get this.

Madden and NCAA 11 should get me part of the way there. I would trade NBA 2K11 but I know that I'll get the urge to play it once previews start coming out for 2K12 later this year.

Also, does anybody know what the deal with the soundtrack for this game is? Is it 1940's radio, GTA style? Or an atmospheric soundtrack like Bully or Red Dead?

Either way, I'm good to go!

I'd suggest the Gamestop trade 2 games in for $50 toward La Noire (check the website for eligible games). As for the soundtrack it's an original score to fit popular music in the 1940's.

Unfortunately I think that deal has expired.

My wife loves CSI and Criminal Minds quite a bit...she saw the commercial and said "I want to get this game"


Good times ahead for me : )

I gotta hold off on this game until after I take the SAT. Why does this have to be so close to the SAT test date??

Re: L.A. Noire (PS3/360)

I wonder how many cases will be in the game?

I think I read where there will be 23 core cases. Then you have the side missions that you can respond too over the police scanner. I think someone said it should equal out to 40 hours of gameplay, if you're just a casual gamer.

Pretty good amount of time. I would be happy with 40 to 50 hours of gameplay. If they add download packs, I will be all of that as well if the game lives up to the hype.

There's 40 unassigned cases, plus the DLC/pre-order cases and hidden collectibles (newspapers, special cars, etc) so it should be around the same amount of time it took to beat GTA/RDR, which was plenty.

A live stream tomorrow would be ****ing awesome.

Lol so does mine. My wife literally never plays videogames so this might be one game where I can convince her to give it a try with me.

I think this game should have a fair amount of replay value as it will be interesting to see what happens when you approach a case from a different angle the 2nd time and to see the outcomes / interactions etc.

Re: L.A. Noire (PS3/360)

Right Jonesy... i do plan on spending some times looking at the sites though, seeing the city as it was at that time

You can't study for the SAT anyway so I say game on! Plus problem solving skills in the game may translate to a Harvard acceptance for you

Solving crimes will definitely be better than trying to find a way to study. It's all about exercising that brain, exercising that brain.
