Was just wondering whether anyone knows what the basic story for L.A. Noire is?

Have watched a few trailers and gameplay etc. but haven't really picked up any strong sense of what the story will be.

its about a young army veteran who joins the LAPD and works his way up in the ranks while uncovering the depths of the LA underbelly.

Its you playing as a cop in post WWII in the late 40s. As you move up in rank from a cop in uniform to a homicide detective, all the crimes that you see are somehow connected in some serious villianous plot; possibly to have all criminals take over the city (I'm not sure what the end plot is; that's been hush-hush. I've watched the preview trailer and thats what I've gotten out of it)

Sounds exciiting to me....I just cant wait to the see the intelligence behind the game.This one should be pretty cool being on the "other" side of the fence.

From what I've read, all of the cases in the game are based on actual cases from the 1940's and 50's. Including the unsolved Black Dahlia case.

Can't wait until Tues! This game is going to be awesome.

I am actually pretty annoyed with all the advertising that Rockstar Games is doing for this game, so even that alone can turn me off. And since the story doesn't seem gritty enough (judging by the humorous, campy, "whatever you want to call it" trailers), I probably will not buy this game. Never mind that it's an adventure game and one of the few on a console. I can always get a better one on the PC. Plus, I'm finding more of an incentive to play games online than single-player, so this game isn't right for me at all.

I'm not convinced with the story. I love the facial animation technology, although I will admit, it can be oddly distracting at times. As usual, Rockstar games see heavy advertising, and I don't mind much. I'm just not feeling the hype.

Yeah, I hear you, Elann. Motion-capture technology isn't enough to make a game feel fun. It all boils down to the gameplay itself. And as far as I know, so many other adventure games have already done what LA Noire is trying to do. This game can easily be compared to the early Police Quest series, with a little bit of action elements thrown in, to make the flow of the story more fast-paced.

Those people hoping that it will be exactly like GTA will end up disappointed because LAN is not a fully open world game; it's more like Mafia 1/2. The game's emphasis is on its story-driven and on being pretty linear for the most part. So don't expect much nonlinearity here, save for the dialogue options.

I remember when my friend got pretty annoyed with his next door neighbors talking to him all the time about Naruto. So much, in fact, that he hated the show. I guess that I'm in the same playing field as him.

The story follows a young cop coming up through the ranks of the LAPD.

I will agree on the advertising front....Rockstar goes all out. I does get annoying at times but the sales will be HIGH and the reviews will be up and down I'm sure. I know one thing, Rockstar makes their games seem "ALL-WORLD" everytime one comes out and people buy it for just that reason. It was so hyped, they bought it and Rockstars sales go up, they're in it for the money!

Agreed. I can't believe I'm saying this but I'm no longer excited for LA Noire. Initially, I might have been caught on the hype-wagon, but that has dwindled down to almost nothing. I'll probably await word for a PC version in the works or hit the bargain bin for the console version.

I'm more interested in seeing if anymore online adventure games like Myst Online will come out anytime soon. There haven't been many titles like it recently, when most games that fit into this genre are SP only. Heck, I'd like to see how co-op could be done with this genre, when so many adventure games these days are hardly original in any other way besides their stories.

you know what, i would like to see you guys try and make a better game than this? Oh wait? Thats right im betting you couldnt. Instead of complaining about why you dont think this game is going to be great why dont you start giving the people who worked on this game and put in 7 years of there life into making it something we all enjoy a little bit of a praise huh? Stop making such stupid opinions if you havent even played it yet. And considering there is hardly and videos out there that REALLY show the game off you should really just stfu. k thanks.
