Well the game needs something! I thought it was cool playing for the first several hours.. but I just want it to end so I can trade it in. It's a very good concept and the animation to me IS top notch. But this is the entire game: search for clues, foot chase, car chase, interrogate, repeat. It's starting to make me yawn. I think this game in a current time frame would give it more life. I'm about to compare LANoire to a $20 PC hidden object game. It has been driving me nutts... And the game isn't hard, you can get a lot of things wrong but you'll still progress through. I like the game but it could use more elements.
I see mixed emotions here, and I was not attacking the game as it is, it was a "IMO" thing, something different to that already exists, both are great, mark my words. But a modern times version would be the **** for me, as Iam a fan of that. More action, more possibilities and longer cases. Stop comparing it to CSI, just imagine all the action and "attention to detail" even in just a modern day NYC. And lets all be honest, (off topic) the driving sucks in LA Noire.
Why, there are no actual reasons for it to be that? Or am I wrong?
Because, like others before me said, you are taking away the best environmental element of the game and replacing with an interactive version of Law & Order. YUCK!
Well, I think the game is already pretty epic as it is. It definitely gives you a fresh setting, and it's the modern game of its kind that I've seen. It's definitely one of the most interesting games I've ever played.
I think people are missing the whole idea behind the 'noir' genre. There's a sty|e to the presentation that sets it apart from other types of presentation. From chapter titles to the music, narration and dialogue.
Sure, you can have modern noir, but I think the aesthetic would be lost to the average gamer.... in much the same way 'noir' flies over the heads of many people playing LA Noire.... apparently. What saves it from being just a wierd game is the era in which it's set.

Don't work...the 40's have a special charm...if they make a modern L.A. "Noire" u'll spend 90% at lab....solve cases using tech is not funny...that's my opnion...

Dont get me wrong, I know all that.
Great. Then you understand why I don't think it would do that well commercially. It could serve a niche audience, but that's about it.
