Hot Heart Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 I'd heard somewhere that it deals with race issues as well. I've always loved detective stuff anyway so the game is already interesting enough. It looked like it had the GTA IV-style (and obviously RDR-style) combat which was OK for shootouts, but the fistfights are always terrible.

SomTervo Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 Yeah, all this stuff's really just icing on the cake for me. On top of a good open world Western (which I got, kinda, with RDR), I've always wanted a Noir game, or something with a great cinematic sense and detective story. Getting all three lumped in one, it seems. The day it comes out over here is the day I have to move out of my first flat though, which will suck quite a lot. Not gonna stop me enjoying, though!

Yantelope Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 Agreed. This game should scratch the RDR2 itch while being a relatively novel experience. I can't wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kovach_ Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 Seems fun enough, but i still think the graphics look like crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyber Rat Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 The trailer looked awesome, but can someone link me to a gameplay video? I honestly have no idea how this game looks when played. EDIT: Yep, gameplay looks awesome. The only problem with the graphics is that the textures are pretty low res, but the models seem to be good.

deanb Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 It's getting a PS3 exclusive mission. This is pretty shitty. It's nice we get the extra stuff, but shitty that devs still do this. What's the point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted April 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 What's the point. Bribe money from the console manufacturer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HotChops Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 It's getting a PS3 exclusive mission. This is pretty shitty. It's nice we get the extra stuff, but shitty that devs still do this. What's the point. I'm hardly bothered. Most of these "exclusive" missions and weapons and whatnot are pretty superficial these days. For example, I never got anything special when I bought Red Dead Redemption, but it hasn't kept me from loving the game. On the flipside though, I'm still a tiny bit bummed that the Xbox version of Batman didn't get the playable Joker challenge stages. Since that became one of my favorite games, it became a sorely missed feature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 (edited) Hahaha, damn. I don't know why it took me so long to recognize him, but I was looking at some screenshots just now and I realized that the main character is the guy who plays Ken Cosgrove in Mad Men. That explains why Cole Phelps always looked kinda familiar. Edited April 15, 2011 by FLD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HotChops Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 I think this new vid shows more gameplay than ever. http://www.gametrailers.com/video/gameplay-series-l-a-noire/713069 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFlyingGerbil Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 I'd love to know how much combat is in there - I hope not too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Heart Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 Hmm, I am still a little undecided on this game. The setting and everything look cool but the gameplay looks a bit simple and I don't even know if you can fail a case or just get a bad rating. Nothing really seems that 'connected' either; although I'm not even sure that's a valid complaint. And it may be a Team Bondi-developed game but you can see the Rockstar influence in pretty much everything. I can't believe they featured the melee combat in that trailer at least twice. That's, like, the worst aspect of Rockstar's sandbox games. TFG, I think there might be a bit of combat but it shouldn't feature too heavily in the main cases. Appears that there are going to be 'interruptions' you can respond to (like in RDR) while you're driving around. So, like, you could be driving around LA and during every journey some dude will ride up to you and ask for help because bandits are going to hang his wife from a tree. EVERY. JOURNEY.

TheMightyEthan Posted April 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 If it's not too far out of my way I'll go shoot the wife so she can have a quick, painless death. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yantelope Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 At the same time, whenever I want to have a good duel there is nobody to be found. I wish those quests were more user triggered rather than random. The bounty quests are done better because you can do one whenever you want but you don't constantly get the failed mission messages.

Thorgi Duke of Frisbee Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 A friend of mine (can't say who; he's breaking NDA here)told me that while the story is well executed, the part where you actually play it was practically thrown under the bus. You may want to wait for reviews to pop up before buying the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faiblesse Des Sens Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 We've already heard gunplay sucks. The rest of it is probably a heavy rain situation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yantelope Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 Who said the gunplay sucks? What would lead you to think it's any better or worse than GTA IV or RDR? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P4: Gritty Reboot Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 Who said the gunplay sucks? What would lead you to think it's any better or worse than GTA IV or RDR? I don't know where FDS heard that, but remember, this is primarily being developed by Team Bondi, not Rockstar, so we can't expect many elements from GTAIV or RDR to translate into this title.

HotChops Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 Reading comments here and on Kotaku. I can't believe how many people keep comparing it to RDR and GTA. I never expected this game to be all that similar to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
