so how many cases are expected in the retail game?

23 core cases with an undisclosed amount of unassigned cases filling the rest.

You should easily get 25-30 hours out of this game.

i think he means suits.

I mean seriously, aside from some stupid fucking shit for your avatar, what on XBox Live is $1-2????


P.S. if you are one of those people who wastes points (i.e. $$) on shirts and little animated trinkets for your avatar.....hell, I'd even say for gamer pics and themes too!!......you're gay. Yeah, I said it...GAY (no offense Spooner). To PAY money for shit like that which should be free, is ridiculous (and yes people, that's the appropriate way to spell that word, there are no additional "U"s or "E"s in it)

And with that rant.....I'm out like Adam Lambert!!

fuck you my laker avatar jersey was worth it

along with my rams background, and including the dodger avatar I bought in 2007 that says LA

Link: L.A. Noire - Full Game Preview + Fansite Event Details + Exclusive Screenshot

Link: A Weekend with Rockstar Games and L.A. Noire (Xbox 360)

A Rockstar employee stated that this is the biggest map they have ever done! I was able to look at the map while playing the game, and I can promise you will not be disappointed! The Rockstar rep also stated that they drove from one end of the map to the other and it took them 30 minutes to drive the entire distance.

If you are worried about the game being linear or not being able to explore 1947 L.A., you will be pleasantly surprised. In fact, I encourage you to go find famous landmarks that are strewn throughout the city. You are in total control of the case and the speed at which you decide to go. After I completed a few cases I decided to go out on a scenic drive. I was blown away at how large the city was, and how real everything looked. One of the other guys who played it drove to the Roosevelt Hotel where we were staying just to check it out - that's how realistic the game is! I wish I could compare the in-game Roosevelt Hotel with the photo I took, but that will just have to wait for you guys to find out on your own!

While driving around you will hear a crime come over the radio and you have the option to go investigate it or continue on with your case. If you decide to do the "side mission" you won't screw up your case in progress, it just gets put on hold until you are ready to proceed.

Being an Officer of the Law
I hate to keep comparing L.A. Noire to Grand Theft Auto, but in this instance I think it's necessary. While I was on a case, I parked the police car and went and did some investigating. When I came back out I decided to not take my police car, but to grab a civilian car. We all know how to "jack" a car in GTA - you run out in front of it, they stop, and you get in. In L.A. Noire, you stop a vehicle and Cole flashes his badge, then the people step out of the vehicle and you legally commandeer it. No punching, no head butting, no shooting a gun, you just get to take it! And I forgot to mention, I did this in front of a police officer walking down the street and I must say it felt weird doing it and not getting chased!

This game sounds better and better.

I'm pumped to see what my current apartment complex looked like in 1947!

When this game drops I'm avoiding this thread like it has bad breath. You speed gamers aren't going to ruin this one for me.

When RDR came out, it took me FOREVER to finish the story. I may have been the last person here who got it at launch to beat it.

Is Rusty Galloway voiced by the Sergeant from Southland?

Edit: Yes he is. I am awesome.

 

[Nevermind]

This game has me pretty excited and I only really started reading about it last weekend. I actually think the fact that it will be more about problem solving and looking for clues that will make it a lot of fun rather than a ton of shootouts like GTA and red dead have. I also am staying away from reading/watching too much so that I can be surprised by a lot of the shit in the game.

Would have been perfect had this game came out the week of the PSN outage.

 

[BigBucs]

Any word on side missions and random shit to do like in GTA and Red Dead?

I take that crown. I still havent beaten that game. I will, and when I finally decide to I will be starting from the beginning since I deleted my profile with my day 1 game save.

Link: Rockstar Made L.A. Noire So Big, They Could Barely Fit It On One Disc (or Three)

The folks at Rockstar, never ones to skimp on the amount of content they put on a game disc, have made, in L.A. Noire, a game that spreads across three discs on the Xbox 360, the company confirmed to Kotaku. The forthcoming game about being a detective in 1947 Los Angeles fills a single-layer, 25 GB Blu-Ray disc on the PlayStation 3.

Glad I have a PS3.

Link: Rockstar Games' 'L.A. Noire' video game gets official soundtrack and remix EP

Music is integral to film noir classics, so it makes sense that Rockstar Games' L.A. Noire has its own jazzy soundtrack.

Recorded at Abbey Road by composer Andrew Hale (the film Scott Pilgrim vs. the World and the video game The Getaway), the L.A. Noire Official Soundtrack includes "modern takes on the classic torch songs of the period," Rockstar's announcement says.

The music is produced and written by Stephen Coates (The Real Tuesday Weld) with guest vocals by Claudia Brucken (Propaganda), with additional music composed by Woody Jackson, whose work on Red Dead Redemption with Bill Elm won multiple awards.

But the game studio is also working with Verve Records on L.A. Noire: Remixed, a remixed EP of six jazz standards re-interpreted by modern DJs, producers and remixers.

The L.A. Noire: Remixed Tracklist

1. Elle Fitzgerald & Louis Jordan – Stone Cold Dead in the Market (Ticklah remix)
2. Lionel Hampton & His Orchestra – Hey-Ba-Ba-Re-Bop (Midnight Sun remix)
3. Dinah Washington – A Slick Chick (On the Mellow Side) (Maximum Balloon remix)
4. Louis Jordan – Ain't Nobody Here But Us Chickens (DJ Premier remix)
5. Gene Krupa – Sing Sing Sing (Truth & Soul Remix)
6. Billie Holiday – That Ol' Devil Called Love (Moodymann remix)

Also, throughout the game itself, music helps notify players that clues are around; as they explore, players will hear more than 32 classic jazz tracks from musicians such as Billie Holiday, Dizzy Gillespie, Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong and Thelonious Monk.

The multiple disc thing doesn't bother me so much. LA Noire is going to take up a TON of space on my HDD though.

Also, those remixes are going to be super awesome.

Not how it worked with ME2. I installed both disks to the HDD, but it still required the swap.
