LA Noire = Heavy Rain with ACTUAL gameplay?

I mean it's trailers really remind me of heavy rain with the detectives looking for clues and many ways to approach a mission and all, but it actually has gameplay too: gunfights, car chases etc. Also, the facial animations look PHENOMENAL. What do you guys think?

Definitely looks amazing. I'm a little skeptical still because of Rockstar's involvement (didn't like Grand Theft Auto IV but loved Red Dead Redemption) but so far everything looks great. If it has multiple endings then I'll consider picking this up sometime.

I havent seen a lot of gameplay yet, but the game seems kind of promising. Ill wait for reviews and gameplay vids before i decide if i get it.

I think that there's a thread about this already and everyone should post in there. ;)

Heavy Rain didn't have gameplay? That's news to me, considering it was a game...that you played.

I don't call tapping buttons on the screen and shaking a controller 'gameplay'. I used to have a Justice League DVD in which there was a game where I had to dodge meteors using the DVD remote buttons. That was also a game.. that I played, but would you call that gameplay?

More like GTA with some mystery solving.

I'll be one of the first to call it.....Grand Theft Noire..... :)

funny way to look at.....

Definitely looking forward to this, I never played HR though...

Well, technically, yes. It was a "game", that you were interacting with, or "playing", hence, gameplay.

I'll be getting it day one, simply because it's R*, and I've loved every single one of their games. This one looks really game-changing, and I love classic 40s noir films and this looks like one huge homage to those. Very excited.

I don't think it's really fair to say Heavy Rain didn't have actual gameplay. It was just a new type of gameplay we weren't used to before. It put more emphasis on the story than the actual actions themselves. Like the producers said, it was more of a short-film than an actual game. The buttons were just there for tactile feel. What I do agree with though is that it seems L.A. Noire will have the same action elements like GTA but a top-notch crime story like Mafia II. I'm waiting to be pleasently surprised.

Exactly. Heavy Rain was more like a film. Yes it did have some sort of gameplay but not enough of it.

:roll: Okay, but by MY definition of gameplay, Heavy Rain did NOT have gameplay.
