La Noire- OPEN WORLD DETECTIVE GAME

So LA NOIRE.

LA NOIRE is an open world action game set in 40's LA (duh) being developed by a relatively unknown Austrailian studio called Team Bondi and Published by the masters of open world games Rockstar.

Unlike that of Rockstars chaotic GTA series, LA Noire is an open world game with a different pacing. You play as Cole Phelps, a cop and a detective, alot of your time will be spent deducing facts, and finding liars, getting the truth from people and other detective work to solve a case.

Action in LA Noire is still present. You will have fist fights, shoot-outs and car chases across the city albeit less ridiculous than other open world games.

The attention to detail is massive. EDGE magazine says that the acting is far ahead of the usual video-game stuff and avoids cliches that are usually associated with games of this type. Over 2200 pages of dialogue have been recorded with more still coming. Theres enough audio for two years worth of a TV show and 12 full length movies Team Bondi claims.

The city itself is full of life and detail, in one situation, a drunk harrased the protaginist for another round. There are many others that make this world believable.

Thanks to EDGE magazine for info:

I am very much keeping an eye on this one. Unfortunately, there is so little information to hyped about.

That sounds awesome

I'm glad to see you guys like it. I was reading about it and I was like "man people need to know about this"

I should change the name to "GRAPHIX KING" or "PS3 OWNS PC" or some fanboy stuff to get more people here

Looks like a fun game.

Day 1 buy.

I love the setting.

It's amazing that this game is quite unheard of. The setting definitly was a big part of my interest in the game

Looks like it could be fun.

This really sounds awesomeAnjunaddict

Yea, the whole detective thing sounds cool as and everything and the less chaotic pacing of nearly every open world game. It looks like a masterpiece and I highly doubt it will flop

Indeed, though Mafia 2's setting looks similair in some aspects like time period

This game is on my radar.

If it turns out well, I might buy a PS3 just to play it...but I'd have to be convinced that this isn't just 40s-GTA first (not that I expect there to be much detective work in an action game, but eh).Planeforger

Nope it's not like a 40's GTA. It's pace is more realistic and action is more believable and stuff. Plus the acting is apparently top-notch. It's being made by Team Bondi with help from Rockstar (engine etc) so expect a little bit of similarities

Sounds interesting. Gonna wait for gameplay videos before I decide whether I want it or not.

It is very detective focused, alot of deducing a stuff will be in the game, each case with its own individual story but there will also be a big over-arching story to the whole game. It will all add up probably

.... Im intersted.

Looks cool, I'll keep my eye on it.

good im sick of mindless shooting in open world games. it better have clever puzzles and stuff. btw, 2200 hours of dialogue? The script is 2200 pages, not 2200 hours.funsohng

Sorry I got that wrong. Thanks for pointing that out, I was just so excited! And yep, I too want some change in open world games, and this seems to be a very smart game, but there still is shooting in it ya know just not as CRAZY as GTA, and certainly not JC2

I wonder how much script pages SWTOR has, it's supposedly the largest voice over project in entertainment history.

[QUOTE="ArisShadows"] It is now on my radar is the whole "Open WOrld Detective game" part is rightArisShadows

Glad to help, I just really want people to know about this game. It deserves waaay more recognition than that of 'Call of Duty Black Ops' or 'HEAVY RAIN.' But these guys at Team Bondi seem very humble which I like yet they are still about as enthusiastic as David Cage or Peter Molyneux but without the "MY GAME IS THE BEST" sort of thing and "I WILL REVOLUTIONISE GAMING"

Really? And its an MMO? Thats crazy but I'm not sure that a good choice considering most people would just skip hearing it and want to go PVP some monsters, but it's BioWare and they are great devs when it comes to story and stuff, but I think it will be a mixed bag of proper dialogue and generic stuff like "Attack that beast"

Looks like it may be even better than this gen's current great detective title: Hotel Dusk.

I don't know, thats the way its spelt but maybe its a play on words or something. Noir means dark correct? So maybe noire means something else

A mainstream game that requires logical thinking and looking for things on your own without an arrow pointing the direction? Sorry, but I think it'll ended up being just a '40s GTA.
