Interview: Team Bondi's Brendan McNamara talks L.A. Noire - Paste Magazine

Paste Magazine writes - "In early 1947, a young woman's murder rocked Los Angeles, California. Her name was Elizabeth Short, but newspapers called her “The Black Dahlia”, with photos of her mutilated corpse covering their front pages. In the years since, a good number of fictional tales have been crafted around the Black Dahlia case, but never one you can play. Until now, that is.

L.A. Noire is a film-noire style detective videogame developed by Team Bondi and published by Rockstar Games. The game tells the story of Cole Phelps (played by Mad Men's Aaron Staton), an up and coming LAPD officer as he tracks down the Black Dahlia murderer. In addition to an open-world recreation of 1947 Los Angeles, L.A. Noire utilizes a revolutionary new motion capture technique that recreates fully realistic facial acting in game. More than just window-dressing, the developers say that this technology will be used to create a lie-detection mechanic never before seen in a videogame."

L.A. Noire And Bully — Rockstar's Lost Gems That Deserve A Sequel As Much As GTA

Hanzala from eXputer: "I do appreciate GTA 6, Rockstar, but if I could trade it for a new L.A. Noire or a Bully game, I'd do so in a heartbeat."

Skuletor41d ago

How are they lost? You can get L.A. Noire on Steam, PS5, Xbox Series and Nintendo Switch and Bully is on the PS5 and Xbox Series too.

Psychonaut8541d ago

I want a new Manhunt game. But that will never happen.

Demetrius41d ago

Mfs are too sensitive nowadays and would cry instead of being concerned bout real world problems

Demetrius41d ago

Whenever gta 6 launch we won't be getting another rockstar title for another 10 years lol but on the positive side they bou to come back n show how open world supposed to be done 🔥

Skuletor41d ago

I won't expect any singleplayer DLC like IV's The Lost & Damned or The Ballad of Gay Tony after it launches either

One I never finished. I've been looking at the ps4 version off Amazon the last few months just never bit

Knightofelemia146d ago

It's worth playing LA Noire is one of my favorite Rockstar games. But I would also check out pawnshops or thrift stores if you want the game dirt cheap. Someone may have been dumb enough to dump the game.

andy85146d ago

Baffles me when people have these opinions about acclaimed games 😂

RhinoGamer88146d ago

100% agree... not perfect, but an engaging/refreshing experience.

sagapo146d ago

Agree, at time of release those facial expressions were amazing! They still hold strong even today imo.
The game on its own was good. Something fresh, but sidequests were a bit meh after a while.

Nacho_Z146d ago

I picked it up on sale recently, going to play it next summer. I'll get more out of it this time, first time around I treated the open world like it was GTA and goofed about, whereas now I'll play it with more respect. RDR2 has trained me well.

I also hadn't read Raymond Chandler at the time so presumably that'll add another layer of enjoyment too.

1nsomniac146d ago (Edited 146d ago )

Absolutely stunning game. So underrated. Played through it again last year and it still stands up so well. Like many of rockstars games it’s actually a far better experience on PC. I didn’t enjoy it as much on console. Completed it at least 3 times on pc.

The rumours of a sequel are awesome news despite the fact I think Rockstar are now the shell of the company they once were.

SyntheticForm146d ago

Team Bondi made a hell of a game.
