Graphic Adventures Evolve: Heavy Rain, Jurassic Park, and LA Noire

Game Podunk blogger, Rrquinta writes, "Before we can talk about the evolution of the genre, we probably need to start by defining what it is: so what is a point-and-click, after all? Or, if we want to go back farther, before the mouse, the genre was called simply "graphic adventure," (a term still used today), so named to distinguish it from the even earlier text adventures. These games are usually story-heavy, action-poor, and often involve some amount of puzzles in order to progress. Additionally, most ( but not all) have no traditional "fail" state (as in, you can't die). While this creates an atmospheric, go-at-your-own pace experience, it can be challenging to create true tension in these situations."

More games need to grip you like Heavy Rain did and I assume LA Noire will.

I would love to see a Jurassic Park game like Heavy Rain. That would be awesome!

Fans of the genre usually just call them 'Adventure Games'.

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."

Skuletor26d 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.

Psychonaut8526d ago

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

Demetrius26d ago

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

Demetrius26d 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 🔥

Skuletor26d 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

Knightofelemia131d 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.

andy85131d ago

Baffles me when people have these opinions about acclaimed games 😂

RhinoGamer88132d ago

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

sagapo132d 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_Z132d 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.

1nsomniac132d ago (Edited 132d 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.

SyntheticForm131d ago

Team Bondi made a hell of a game.
