IGN: PAX: L.A. Noire Is Rockstar's Most Serious Game

After showing them pretty much an entire mission of L.A. Noire, the Rockstar spokesman put the controller down, recapped what IGN had seen, and described the detective title as something different for the video game industry -- "a breath of fresh air."

-Mezzo-4820d ago

One of my top most anticipated Game of this year, and I'm glad that this is nothing more than a Great Single Player experience, i am tired of seeing games that have no Business with Multiplayer Mode, end up having 1.

I am sure Rockstar has yet again Knocked one out of the Park.

Strong candidate for GOTY / Best PS3 game / Best Action game ...etc

"L.A. Noire Is Rockstar's Most Serious Game"

They said something similar about GTA 4 and San Andreas and that did not turn out good to me.

I am all for more mature and serious games but at the same time you cant forget that the general purpose of a game is to have fun.

I hope they take the RDR route more that the GTA 4 route which they tried to make the game as realistic as possible by adding things that we would normally do in our day to day lives (Internet,Watching cable, talking to friends on the phone and dating)

RDR was a perfect balance of Fun and Seriousness and I hope LA Noire follows those steps.

For the 59045803958759060849060986904 fucking time. It's Team Bondi, not Rockstar.

grailly4820d ago

still, rockstar has a lot of input in the game, I read an interview saying that rockstar also worked heavily on the game.

and BTW, it's still published by rockstar, so there's no harm calling it a rockstar game, it even helps it, as its a more recognized "brand" than team Bondi

Kran4820d ago (Edited 4820d ago )

I feel like the only one not looking forward to it.

I mean theres more to a game that facial animations. To me, it just looks like all their faces have been stitched on. Call me crazy, but I just dont get their faces. If you look closely at any video, when their head moves, their faces move like half a second later with it. As if their face is bouncing all over the place.

This game is just GTA with Mafia II.

And now I await my hate.

PLUS!

Look at Dragon Age II. So much hype. Yet such poor reviews.

This game could be Rockstar's Dragon Age II. You just don't know.

@hennessey86 You forget a game is not always about quality...

hennessey864820d ago

you need to update your flashplayer. This game has the most realistic facial animations ive seen in a game and i have bot seen this jumpy thing you talk about

HarryMonogenis4820d ago (Edited 4820d ago )

For the most part, Dragon Age II received great reviews, actually. Some people on N4G consider 8.5 to be a fail -- so pay no attention to them. Also, remember that angry fans and review scores are not the same.

There's more to L.A. Noire than its superb facial animations -- Rockstar hasn't even been hyping that feature a lot. What makes this game interesting is the story and gameplay.

"You forget a game is not always about quality"

WTF are you talking about man. You dislike quality?

Kran4820d ago

*cough* Minecraft *cough*

BlmThug4820d ago

I Think Gta IV Was More Serious In Terms Of The Fun Being Sucked Out

Epicor4820d ago

I do agree. GTA4 was/is more serious than previous games. And I also feel like they sucked some fun out of the game. Where's all the crazy stuff from San Andreas(hydras etc.)? GTA4 is more story driven and darker imo (still not that dark though).

Malebaria4820d ago

I love the direction Team Bondi and Rockstar decided to pursue; my most anticipated title for the year and I strongly believe it'll be a success, both critically and commercially.

fredfenster4820d ago (Edited 4820d ago )

It will be a success at least to me, but expect people to start whining when they find out they have to think besides spamming L2/R2 of LT/RT.

No Way4820d ago

I agree. I like games that are out of the ordinary.
Games that are different. Games that change it up.
And, with the old school scenery, that's another plus.

One of my most anticipated games of the first half, if not the year.

undercovrr4820d ago

I have no doubt if this game lives up the hype that it will be a critical success, and win the most GOTY's. Why? Because it's a rockstar game, and the media loves overhyping them. Especially the VGA's. I'm willing to bet that this game will in GOTY in the VGA's (I really hate that awards show though)>

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."

Skuletor46d 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.

Psychonaut8546d ago

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

Demetrius45d ago

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

Demetrius45d 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 🔥

Skuletor45d 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

Knightofelemia150d 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.

andy85150d ago

Baffles me when people have these opinions about acclaimed games 😂

RhinoGamer88151d ago

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

sagapo151d 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_Z151d 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.

1nsomniac151d ago (Edited 151d 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.

SyntheticForm150d ago

Team Bondi made a hell of a game.
