"Printing, distributing and advertising are all things that the big disc-based games have built into their price structure that actually have nothing to do with the game. When a game is digital only, it can be cheaper, eliminating those steps. They can also afford to be smaller: I know that I think twice about a game when it begins its retail life at $20. Even though it is possible for a developer to make a quality title and release it cheaply, it just seems to devalue the inner content when i..."
"This is the most interesting DLC case released so far. I appreciate that it doesn’t start how almost every case does, with something happening, and Cole getting the call to check out the crime scene. It feels very organic the way it starts, and that’s a nice change of pace. Driving into the blast zone was honestly pretty shocking. There’s people running away, and cars crashing in front of you. Characters constantly comment on the devastation. I was baffled when I had to start investigating th..."
L.A. Noire can be described with two words, innovative and unique. Taking place in 1940’s Los Angeles, you play LAPD officer Cole Phelps. Phelps is a former military serviceman who served his time in World War II. Starting off as a patrolman, you take on cases and move through the ranks to traffic detective, homicide, vice, and arson.
Certain companies, we expect them to make gold every time they make something, but Mike D from GoozerNation wonders if Rockstar might have finally hit coal in their new game, LA Noire.
"It's only been a matter of weeks and already I'm missing the smell of young women's corpses and the clutter of syringe filled back alleys. It's a strange feeling attempting to wean of crime and corruption, but L.A. Noire offered up a very addictive approach and solving mysteries and serving justice. Those who feel the streets aren't clean enough just yet, however, can clock in once again with the titles' first downloadable case; The Naked City."
L.A. Noire is going to one of those games other developers try to emulate. Rockstar has taken gaming in a different collection with L.A. Noire. The combination of an open ended world paying homage to GTA IV meets detective work is a welcome change to the industry standard. The biggest question, is will gamers see a sequel?
With the release of yet another Rockstar extravaganza, everyone is running around with their heads cut off about L.A. Noire. Whilst the game is quite good, not every aspect of it is admirable.
LA Noire is a new kind of game that attempts to bring investigation, interrogation, and good old fashioned police action together to form a realistic experience. The year is 1947, you jump into the shoes of Cole Phelps, a WWII veteran who wants to put the war behind him and start a new life. Phelps joins the LAPD and begins as a patrolman; it is your job to help him move up the ranks and uncover the seedy underground of 1940’s Los Angeles.
One man can make all the difference - if that one man means Cole Phelps and that difference being made is in 1940's Los Angeles. At its heart, LA Noir is a tale about one man standing up to corruption, while working to clean up the city streets. And the streets need a lot of cleaning. Robberies, shootings, theft, and, of course, murder, are just some of the crimes Phelps is looking to stop.
Default Prime writer Joe Jones takes a trip through postwar 1940s Los Angeles and steps into the shoes of detective Cole Phelps. How did the latest blockbuster from Team Bondi shape up?
""When a company tries to jump out of their normal routine to try something totally different, it has the possibility of either becoming some new way to define them as a company; or it fails miserably and makes you never want to look at them again.""
"Let me begin by saying L.A Noire is a very different experience from what everyone’s used to when it comes to games that are similar to the Grand Theft Auto series. This game doesn’t only enter unvisited territory but also does a good job at it. From shoot outs, to playing private eye or chasing people on foot and on wheels. L.A Noire has a lot going for it but is it enough for the people who aren’t used to this flavour of tea? One thing we can be sure is naked women, size 8 shoes and a hell ..."
"It’s 1947 and Cole Phelps has returned from World War II as a decorated hero, and now he is attempting to navigate the ranks of the L.A.P.D. Cole must discover the truth behind murders, illegal drug trades, racketeering conspiracies, and arson attacks as he tries to clean up the streets of a quickly growing city. As the hero of the game you learn that Cole isn’t the squeaky clean hero that he’s portrayed in the beginning of the game. The police and politicians are as corrupt as the criminal e..."
L.A. Noire, Rockstar Games’s latest release, with developer Team Bondi at the helm, aims to shift paradigms and create new gameplay trends. In recent months, the developer has created a huge hype about the game and after a few minutes driving through the streets of an almost exact rendition of Los Angeles, you'll understand why. L.A. Noire is unlike anything you've ever played.
Rockstar's latest epic brings 1940's LA to life. Gone is the emphasis on free exploration, replaced instead with solid scripts and classic film noire action. Filled with some small graphics glitches and with limited replay value, this is still a modern classic.

Rockstar Games has had a history of bringing cities to life, and with L.A. Noire, that tradition is continued. Team Bondi has done a masterful job of recreating...
