Rumor: L.A. Noire in development for Xbox 360?

Quentyn from AnalogHype.com writes: Buzz and talk surrounding the (once-thought) Playstation 3 exclusive game LA Noire has been silenced, for one reason or another. It was brought to our attention recently, however, that the development team (Team Bondi) is still actively working on the game, suggesting that more people are needed to speed up the development of this title.

The Team Bondi site also still suggests that the game is coming out for more than one platform, as information about the game indicates on their site.

Additionally, a sharesholders conference-call held a while ago suggests that LA Noire was most likely coming to the Xbox 360 as well, and that "It is being developed for next-generation systems." All signs seem to be pointing to multiplatform, but nothing is official yet.

Sony didn't "make" Rockstar though. Rockstar made Rockstar with their great games. I'm sure that if GTA series was timed exclusive for the original Xbox, it would've done just as well.

"Rumor: L.A. Noire in development for Xbox 360? "

Not surprised... a 3rd party software company must pretty dumb (or like loosing money) if they go for exclusives these days.

As for what i expect mostly from Rockstar ... is Max Payne 3 :)

Its OK to me, nothing to worry about, whereas is coming to the PS3 as well. Lets be real with this one, upcoming games from Rockstar will not look better than GTA4, there you have Mafia 2, Read Dead Redemption, dont expect any graphical jump.

That said, GTA is the franchise that truly makes Rockstar shines, aside from GTA other franchises can be good but arent blockbusters. This one, LA Noire, is a new IP, we know NOTHING about it and even if it is a PS3 exclusive it just will not move consoles as an exclusive GTA could.

They are a third party developer and they specialize in timed exclusives in the past only really so no suprise this gen its count on first party games only being exclusive. Look at NG2 recently for proof and Tales of Vesperia which I truly thought was not coming to the PS3 low and behold it seems like you just have to give everything time and it will pop up on your system.

Yawn....Old. How did this get approved? Oh, never mind. Sensationalism is the order of the day. Stories like this should never have made it as they are positively mummified:

http://www.1up.com/do/newsS...

"And in one last surprising tidbit about L.A. Noire, Crago stated that the game -- which has only ever been officially announced for the PlayStation 3 -- is also in the works for the Xbox 360."

See the date? 2008.

EDIT:

Just so the uninformed do not walk off of a cliff, this is not and never was the PS3 exclusive coming to the PS3:

http://kotaku.com/5138316/l...

"Team Bondi did a similar staff drive about this time last year, when it listed the game as planned for both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 platforms. Remember, kids, this isn't the PlayStation exclusive franchise that Rockstar promised Sony. That's the next one."

http://kotaku.com/gaming/no...

"No exclusive GTAIV content? No sweat off the PS3's balls. Sony have announced that Rockstar will be developing an exclusive, all-new franchise for the PS3. And no, it's not LA Noire, it's something else. Michael Shorrock, Director of 3rd party operations at SCEA:

As part of our long standing relationship with Rockstar, and the incredible success for both companies with the cultural icon that is Grand Theft Auto, we've agreed to the PlayStation exclusive rights of the next great franchise from the Rockstar studios."

How about I submit a story saying Ninja Gaiden II is coming to the PS3? That news is old but nowhere near as ancient as the above story...which can't even get right the fact it isn't a rumor.

It's odd how this one story keeps coming back again and again, as if it's never been told before. Maybe the game just isn't under anyone's radar.

The loss of exclusiveness for L.A. Noire has been talked about since last year before E3 '08. Why are people surprised now?

After the success of GTA, why wouldn't they want to take it multiplat...Anyways, I haven't really heard much about this game in ahwile, and don't really care until I do.

The only thing I'm looking forward to from Rockstar is Red Dead and maybe the new Max Payne

NP 357:).

Several people, including myself and a friend of mine, posted comments over at Analogue hype. Now they have deleted everyone's remarks because they were called on the carpet for their error. That qualifies as reason to never approve one of their stories here again. They are not interested in accuracy or else they would have stepped up, owned up, and laughed about it. They would have been forgiven for their error and everyone one would have gone on about their business. Now they come off looking like ripten.com and that is not good.

3 - If Microsoft plans to do the same thing they did last year and announce just another multiplatform game

then there couldn't be a better time for Sony to step it up further.

for me, MS has two announce either 1 BIG exclusive, or two "good" exclusives in order for their show to be on par with the other big companies.

What I mean is, announcing a multiplatform game doesn't cut it.

If Microsoft announce this as multiplatform at E3 as their BIG ANNOUNCEMENT it will be a huge disappointment.

Not because it's multiplatform, because I've suspected for a while it is, but because it's perfectly obvious Microsoft are low on ideas.

Microsoft still got a lot of areas to improve on there are already a lot of good games comming out for the xbox 360 even though they are not exclusive.

A even lower priced xbox 360 slim, (with no hardware problems) could be the biggest thing for microsoft to do Nintendo already proved a console doesn't need much games to sell good.

On a company stand point, why oh why would Rockstar even make exclusives anymore? I mean, GTAIV sold like 12 million and the sales were split half and half, why would Rockstar neglect the other half and even now that consoles are a lot more costly to program for than last gen?

11 - If this Game is Multiplatform - I will not be buying it

I was very disappointed with GTA 4. GTA 4 Game was very small and it look like someone smeared vasoline on the screen. Same reason I gave my Wii away.

Xbox 360 = Next GEN Console with Last Gen media and no Standard Hard drive.

Wii = Gamecube with remotes that gives me a headache when connect to an 1080P HD TV.

you know what, I was thinking the same thing, I can't blame Xbox though, it's the developers that don't want to push themselves to make the next great game. You look at RE 5, it's a great (I guess) but it's just RE 4 in HD.

OK man i cant argue that the 360 is made with last gen parts"dvd9" because it is. but it still has great games(not ps3 quality but great)
gears 1 and 2 are good games so is mass effect. lets not forget bioshock. yes i understand ps3 exclusive are top notch but they(all multiplats) cant all be ps3 exclusive can they? luckily for us gamers Sony has awesome games on the way, so even is L.a. Noire sucks we still have uncharted 2 or heavy rain to keep us happy right...

11.3 - I can't blame Xbox though - Yes I Can

Yes, I can.

Because MS wanted to rush the 360 to market so they could grab market share they screwed gaming up for people like me. I only expect the best for my money.

When a dev decides to make a game the first thing they look at is size. Because the 360 has market share they cannot be ignored and so when you make a game you use dvd as the lower common denominator.

How can a Company introduce Hard Drive and Online gaming but take two steps back by not including a Standard Hard Drive and a larger Media in their next console?

You're talking about the PS3 "vaseline filter" It's used on more than a few games on PS3. It's because some developers didn't use AA in their ps3 games and instead used some cheap filter gimmick.

Just google ps3 vaseline filter.
