The team that created L.A. Noire and The Getaway is back, quietly updating the Team Bondi website with a certain 1930s Asian aesthetic, tying into the Whore of the Orient title thrown around by game-maker Brendan McNamara several months ago.
From Xfire: "Executives, would-be auteurs, marketing departments; sometimes they are oh, so out of touch with the realities of gaming."
EA has two of them. Nice...It was a joy to read about all these train wrecks. For me, a Diablo fan, Mr. Cheng and crew already ruined Diablo by turning it into WoW, then they come out and attack us for not wanting more WoW on mobile.
These people 100% think they are better and smarter than the public. They feel that this gives them the "god-talent right" to insult their customers on a daily basis. The funny thing is that people will defend their right to be insulted and suckered, so, I guess all is fair.
Exclusives Are ‘Completely Counter To What Gaming Is About,’ Xbox’s Phil Spencer Says
Phill Spencer: proceeds to spend 88 billion to secure exclusives
David from BagoGames writes: Seven years on, Team Bondi’s development troubles color L.A. Noire‘s perception. Knowing what we know now about its development and working conditions, many of its blemishes make sense. While the facial motion capture still holds up, most of the game falls a little flat. Investigating is entertaining, but cases play out in such a linear fashion that success or failure doesn’t impact anything. You could mess up every question and still make the story progress just the same as a more eagle-eyed detective. The only difference would be the star rating delegated at each case’s end. L.A. Noire was a technically ambitious last gen open world adventure game, but development hell inhibited its vision.
This week the crew got together to talk about the new Ghostbusters game in relation to the release of the film reboot and they might have had opinions you wouldn’t expect! They also introduced a new segment (that might be weekly… maybe) called Hideo Kojima Quote of the Show, or HKQOTS for short!
I like the premise. I just hope this actually manages to see the light of day within a reasonable time frame. I remember going mad for LA Noire back when it was just a screenshot and an idea and I don't like the idea of going through the same thing again.
I forsee exactly ZERO controversy regarding the title.
sounds good
looks dope, ill put it on my list so i don't forget about.
Glad they are back to making games. L.A. Noire had its flaws (mainly the action/ shootouts.....too clunky and weird), but the rest was great. Great voice overs, great acting, great story and nice city (but a city that was a bit dull and boring though).
Can't wait to see what this game is all about!
