First 15 minutes of L.A Noire gameplay

Video has been taken down from YouTube but you can watch it on blip check attached video (thanks to xtremexx for that)or download it off the forum

[xtremexx]

that was some awesome gameplay

[thugbob]

Yep! GOTY quality!

[realiks]

Uncharted 3 and LA Noire!
FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!
:P

[NukaCola]

I think I am going to enjoy this very very much,.

[chaosatom]

This looks pretty good.

I need a demo tho. I am still a skeptic because of GTAIV. :(

[Darkfiber]

What video were you watching? God, people are so easily impressed these days.

[Lifendz]

Pre-ordered and paid for in full. Been avoiding any PMs or articles on the game because I don't want anyone spoiling this one for me. Would be so nice if PSN was up by the time the game came out. Not for multiplayer (obviously) but so I could get any day one patches R* releases.

Anyway, can't wait. GOTY contender for sure.

[Crazyglues]

@ Lifendz

All patches still work just fine, I did two of them myself one on MW2 and one on GTA IV, games I started playing again when the network went down..

Patches are on their own Game Company Server so they are not effected by PSN being down.. You will get your patch if there is one, just fine..
Day One...

[sergiospain]

Holy shit what's with all the haters? Do you seriously think that one of the most innovative games of the generation "looks shit" and whatnot after a fucking 15 minutes video?

Man, I didn't have a high appreciation on the gaming community, but these comments are just plain retarded.

You guys are the reason the gaming industry is never gonna be taken seriously by the rest of the media. Thank you.

[Razmossis]

What we saw in this video should have taken no longer than 5mins, when he went up that alley, and looked every-which way except 'left' I was screaming "TURN LEFT, TURN LEFT" at the TV! That would have saved him that run around half the block.
God, some people really suck at games

[beastgamer]

I WANT MORE!!!

[Derekvinyard13]

this game look SOO GOOD

[showtimefolks]

i have it pre-ordered hopefully it will be a lot of fun and gunplay won't feel week like some leaked reviews are saying

[DelbertGrady]

GOTY.

[TheGamingPod]

Battlefield 3 is gonna be my game of the year by the look of it but this is a close second

[RedDevils]

for me BF2 is meh not my type of game but this and UC3 gonna be my goty :)

[NukaCola]

I think Uncharted 3 and SKYRIM are going to battle it to the ground.

[sergiospain]

Skyrim, LA Noire, Uncharted 3, Dark Souls and Portal 2 disagree

[iNFAMOUZ1]

looks way less detailed than gta4 FAIL. Where's my gta5???

[realiks]

lol. they're the first one to use the new technology to use more detailed faces and the map is much bigger than gta.

[NukaCola]

@iNFAMOUZ1

Less detail? WTF are you talking about? Since when in GTA IV could you examing anything, climb anything, or even something simple like enter a building? GTA4 was all drive from yellow circle to yellow circle.

[Kakihara]

Ooooh, darkfiber. You got greedy. You were doing well but you totally overplayed your hand with this comment. You need to keep that shit semi-believable to get people mad. You go too far over the top and you just make people feel bad for you that this is what you're doing with your day.

[metsgaming]

gameplay looks better than gta4, need a demo to really tell.

[krazykombatant]

I take it from your name tag that you just own a ps3 but hey i'm just speculating.. Personally i think you guys are just spoiled with great graphics.

Not complaining i wish my 360 could have games like infamous and shit. But don't dare take away from this game. For a multiplat and a game in general it's accomplishing alot.

but hey what do i know your the 1 with 33 disagrees and counting.

[Dsnyder]

VIDEO DOWN!

Dude the video wont show up on YT. The link here is not working either! The site is not PS3 friendly.

[xtremexx]

errr no it isnt

[TGPHells]

Video is working, site is ps3 friendly, site loads on all browsers.

It is obviously a problem your end

[Prcko]

not impressed,w8 for new gta or agent,sorry rockstar i won't give you money

[carter20]

not impressed with ur grammar

[Si-Fly]

Look at his name, I think it's meant to read Pricko, couldn't even spell that right...

[Darkfiber]

Pot calling the kettle black...

[newhumanbreed]

Really? You must not love innovation. There are no released videos or pictures of Agent or GTA5 and you're stating that those are more impressive when you haven't gotten a look at them. Just shut up, please..

[Pintheshadows]

Your not impressed by a 15 minute video of a game that will last 20+ hours. Wow, thats like the people who said ME2 was shit after a half hour demo.

[SnotyTheRocket]

ME2? You talkin' Mass Effect 2? Epic game.

[user858621]

looks bloody awesome!!

[MGRogue2017]

Picking it up on day one, Definately something you don't want to miss out on!

Also, Hopefully it isn't like Mafia II & you can free-roam after the game's story is completed.

[Rybakov]

well glad i saw that now i can save my money

was wondering why there was no demo

[Seraphemz]

Yeah...wth, no first person shooting.. and you actually have to THINK in the game... pfft..forget that.

[Rybakov]

escuse me but the amount of time i play first person shooters is like 5 minutes a month(and yeah that is how that sounds i start the game and get thru the intro before i get bored of the same situation ive seen 5million other times in games)

this was just dry, flat, and well just plain boring

i loved heavy rain but rockstar failed at coping it

[xPhearR3dx]

Rockstar failed at copying? Heavy Rain is all quick time events, L.A Noire isn't. Two totally different games in every way shape and form in terms of actual gameplay. This is just the first 15 minutes of the game. The first 15 minutes of Heavy Rain wasn't all that exciting either, but turned out to be an amazing game IMO.

Maybe you should play the game first.

[lh_swe]

@xPhearR3dx - I'd go a step further an say the first hour wasn't that exciting, it added to the narrative but was a bit booring, I caught myself yawning a few times actually...then it caught on and woke me up.

I can't fathom why people aren't loving the s*** out of this game, to me it's a dream come through, I have been wanting a game like this since GTA III tbh, and I finally get to play it!!!

[Seraphemz]

And you can tell everything about the game in just 15 minutes... yeah right!!

[Squadron40Dive]

i wonder how many idiots agreed with you because they thought you were serious ahaha

[lh_swe]

Are you guys actually serious!?
This looks phenomenal! Rich to the brim with exploration, keep in mind the cases will increase immensely in complexity.

It's a shame some people can't enjoy a game that doesn't contain a grotouitous amount of violence...to each their own I guess.

@Rybakov - "i loved heavy rain but rockstar failed at coping it" - How is this anything like Heavy Rain, aside from it having a detective in it?

"dry, flat, and well just plain boring" - So you loved shaving, showering, looking at a bird, getting your characters son his chips...I don't mean to rip too much on Heavy Rain, I liked it but comparatively this looks a lot less dry if you pair the two tbh.

[Seraphemz]

Obviously I was being sarcastic... this game looks freaking amazing and I cant wait to play it on Tuesday. I love mysteries, and cant wait to play a detective in the game...

[lh_swe]

I realised that after replying and seeing your second comment...same here, looks amazing!

[jay2]

Not watching, waiting for mine to come! cam't wait for L.A N.

[xtremexx]

i understand lol

[upturned2]

You're intelligent. I'm doing the same.

[ThatIrishGamer]

I stopped watching after I saw the hideous graphics.

[lh_swe]

Say what!? I thought they were good for an open world game, especially some of the interior details.

[ThatIrishGamer]

I thought they were hideous. They look worse than GTAIV's and that was YEARS ago. The facial animation is good and all, but did they not bother putting any effort into the rest of the game lol.

Why am I getting disagree's. . .I'm not mentioning platforms. . .it looks garbage all round - just watch the video for god sake.

[lh_swe]

I saw the video and I think it looks good, some parts better than GTA IV, especially the characters and interiors...the lighting also looked better, exteriors looked about on par with GTA IV with some being in the favour of GTA IV in terms of just the amount going on.

"Why am I getting disagree's. . .I'm not mentioning platforms. . ." - You don't need to mention a platform to get disagree's you muppet (I mean that in the kindest possible way btw), you're getting it becuase people disagree and don't think you're right about the graphics...and/or think it's retarded to dislike a game because of its graphics XD

I mean look at Fallout 3, that game looked hideous in many respects, still got a f***load of praise. (excuse the language)

[gillri]

from careful observation of your comments in many relevant articles, and in light of the evidence I have deduced that your are indeed a troll

[TGPHells]

The device used wasn't the best to capture this games graphics, this recorded with a HD capture device might change your mind.

Besides it's not all about the graphics it is also about the gameplay and this game is pretty good imo

[Pintheshadows]

OMG GRAFIX ARE HIDEOUS! No, no they aren't.

[Yukicore]

Graphics are excellent, video quality is very bad. Just wait for reviews...

[sergiospain]

You are getting disagrees because you are fucking retarded. Graphics don't make games, you should be aware of this.

Oh well what am I expecting from someone who's avatar a Killzone character...

[ThatIrishGamer]

I know graphics don't make great gameplay. . .but considering it's presented by rockstar we pretty much know what the gameplay is gonna be like considering it barely ever changes. So the graphics, and new skin are the main new ingredients. They look terrible, though as someone said it could be the video encoding.

[CoD511]

Mmm, tempting to watch but I don't want to spoil it for myself :D

[newhumanbreed]

Not much happens lol

[CoD511]

Not so much plot wise, but the thrill of starting the game with no idea what to expect is much more attractive to me. I can wait a few days, I think :P

[marioPSUC]

Well I gave in and had to watch, I wish I had one of those stores that sold games early, Tuesday cant come soon enough

[Jack-Pyro]

More like First 14, but still, this looks really damn good.

[solidboss]

hopefully there is some way to turn off the hints in the top left corner? it kind of makes investigating a crime scene a bit too easy when the game tells you to listen to the sound of a chime to know when your closer to an object of interest. it looks like a good game, different but good. hopefully it doesn't get to bad of a rap for people thinking its a 1940's gta clone

[No Way]

I thought the same thing, but seeing as how it's 'the first 15 minutes,' well..
I'm thinking they are there, just like for many games, as a 'tutorial' of sorts.
It may just be there to show and tell you how to search for and find clues.
I imagine, after the first case it would go away and stop showing those hints ..

Or so I hope so.

[SeraphimBlade]

Wasn't gonna watch it at first, but some of these comments made me want to.

Guys, for the LAST DAMN TIME, this isn't GTA. It's a detective game. There's this thing called pacing. It starts out slow so that the exciting moments have a real impact on the player. There's a reason that most of the scenes we saw of Heavy Rain before release were from the intense middle of the game, and not the slow, sunshiney beginning.

As an action game, yeah, probably nothing special. As an adventure game, looks like a damn good time.

[TheGamingPod]

People unfortunately don't understand that a game made by the same company and in a similar genre doesn't have to be the same

[Sheikah]

If it's not CoD, it's no good I guess :p

Can't bring myself to watch the clip, since I know I'll get it spoiled for me.

Very excited to have you draw a parallel to Heavy Rain - that was one of my absolute favourite titles.

[CoD511]

And not even made by the same company at that, just published by Rockstar guys :/ I think it's nice to have something different.

[Apocwhen]

Most kids these days are only interested in shooting anything that moves and blowing stuff up. This game is too intelligent for them.

[DanSolo]

It's no good talking to GTA fanboys..... they have no imagination and only crave more of the same and think that Rockstar should just spend all their time just pumping out GTA after GTA.....

It is just their mentality.... they can't help themselves!

Personally I like GTA and prefer the fact that there is a decent gap between each release so they are still fun when they come out...

People should like the fact that Rockstar have the balls to do different things and expand our gaming options rather than take the easy COD type route of just pumping out different versions of the same game every single year... and let's be honest GTA is one of the franchises that could quite easily have gone that way....

Roll on LA Noire... looks like a good game and a genuinely interesting one!
And well done to Rockstar for having some sack in an industry that all too often takes the easy route!

EDIT: by the way you all deserve a bubble for talking some sense!

[sergiospain]

Just to let you know: This game wasn't made by Rockstar, it was PUBLISHED by Rockstar, they didn't make it, it was another company.

But of course if Rockstar is involved, the game is gonna be good.

[DanSolo]

Good Point mate, I forgot about that.

But you know what I mean lol

[GoldPS3]

From looking at some of the comments here I can tell some people don't have the patience to play a slow paced game. COD has screwed up so many minds this gen.

L.A Noire looks great.

[Serjikal_Strike]

I wish I had this game since the beginning of the psn shutdown...
cuz I know as soon as the psn comes back up, I'll have to play some MK and portal 2 online...

cant wait to get this

[TGPHells]

The sad thing is the pirates already have access to this game on the xbox 360, hopefully they support the devs and purchase it when its released

[Darkseeker]

Well, I kept wondering if I should get it. This convinced me. PS3 purchase day one for me.

[Spinal]

Definitely trying to wheel me in. I'm liking what i saw. This and Witcher 2 got me interested.

[Regulator]

I know you solve crimes, and mix in a bit of chase sequences and on foot GTA style gun play, but is it fun?. No euphoria engine, and from what I've read the combat is...clunky.

I am still on the fence about this game, they are really pushing the facial animation as the selling point, I hope the game is not all fluff and there is a good game underneath.

[Bluemaster77]

Im pretty sure this game is winning GOTY hands down its simply fantastic and masterfully crafted in every area. This level of detail has yet to be seen in a video game

[TheEatingChampagne]

Guys I played it and I gotta tell you it's one of the most incredible games I have ever played... The music, the atmosphere, the different things that you do as a cop, the facial expressions..
Everything is just so good that it made me think twice about how much time they dedicated to develop this game

[Angels3785]

Why is this under the PC tag when its not even coming out on PC?

[Series_IIa]

A good year for games indeed.

[No Way]

Can't wait to give it a go, already been pre-ordered, and will pick it up Tuesday.

[Bluemaster77]

All the people who are angry that this game is better in everyway to their precious Uncharted 3 lol cmon kids grow up

[elondonred]

oops double post

[elondonred]

Dude only one person here mentioned this game and uncharted in the same sentence and he wasn't angry or comparing both games. You seem have a chip on your shoulder and you're saying grow up. Dude i think you need to examine yourself and you grow up instead of trying to instigate something.

[WetN00dle69]

Well Uncharted 3 and L.A Noire are two different beasts AND to compare them as to which one looks better is quite stupid MAINLY cause they both look freaking amazing!

[kramun]

Looks great, and the facial animation is outstanding.

[ps3alldayeveryday]

Seems like a good story and atmosphere. But it still plays like a GTA, which needs improvement on the gameplay. Gun play better be better.

[WetN00dle69]

Well OXM UK said that the controls are basically the same as GTA4's so i wouldnt hold my breath for improvement in that particular area. I for one dont really case since i had not problems whatsoever with GTA's control, Aiming, Driving,etc,etc.

[TronEOL]

Oh that hurts. This better not mean I have to hold X to "drive" my character. As that's one huge annoyance I have with Rockstar games.

[sergiospain]

What exactly is wrong with the GTA gameplay? It's good for what it is. I'm not a big fan of "hold X to run" but whatever, the rest of the system works alright. The cover system is the only thing that has a flaw or two but I didn't expect it in a sandbox game anyway, it's good to have it.

[HmongAmerican]

creepy head motion movement.

[TheGamingPod]

There is a link to a live stream over on the site

[OpiZA]

Tempting but I will hold out till my copy arrives! :)

[DanSolo]

It's like the bastard love child of GTA and Heavy Rain....

Which sounds pretty good to me!

I pity the people who just want yet another GTA clone and cannot either just appreciate something different being made, or just be big enough to pass on the game realising that not every game made is for them!

[banjadude]

AHHH! The wait is excruciating!
Btw, thanks for the video.

[H2OAcidic]

Looks like AnalogHype is black listed for life.

[H2OAcidic]

How am I wrong? Nearly all of the videos they keep uploading has been taken down by 2K. They more they keep trying to leak stuff the more the companies will NEVER! want to work with them.

[Pintheshadows]

This will be revered in years to come as a changing point in the industry. I've been waiting for something imaginative and fresh to come along for a long time. The adventure genre isn't dead. Its just grown up.

@below, read a preview. The facial animation isn't in there for show. During interrogation it is a way to tell if your suspect is lying to you, something that is a natural human skill. Not a gameplay mechanic. So if your gullible it's likely you won't do to well. Also it lets you play as a cop. Not in the Max Payne sense but an actual cop with rules. A nice change from the norm. It features hundreds of real life actors that you'll actually recognise (still find that odd). The game had a script of 2200 pages and the games cases will branch of differently depending on how well you do at crimescenes and interrogations. If you fuck up then a line of questioning will be closed off and you'll have to get leads another way.

I'll also point out that it is set in a pivotal time period in LAs history and a lot of the cases are based on real murders from the period 1947 which is one of the most brutal in LA history.

[fluffydelusions]

What's so innovative apart from the facial animations?

[LoneWanderer09]

The generation of kids these days will die if they ever played games that we played back in the 90's. me looking at the gameplay i say this looks fantastic and i can't wait to pick up my game at Midnight on monday

[i_like_ff7]

WOW...

[kookie]

Very Awesome

[MasterCornholio]

Looks great thank god its a cop game

[JMyers]

I'm so excited for this.

[josephayal]

Looks Fun! but I'm a bitt dissapointed with the graphics

[TABSF]

Pretty epic how Rockstar has failed the PC community again considering PC made Rockstar what they are today.

They really needed to put Red Dead Redemption on PC and now LA Noire.

GTA IV on PC really made the PS3/360 versions look like jokes from a past generation.

[nilamo]

lol pc gaming lol

[creamsoda]

lol poor middle class console players lol

[tweet75]

grand theft auto meets CSI in gang ridden LA yes please !

[Lindsey]

I can't wait to play this tomorrow all day long and then write my review in time for launch.

[dylanv365]

looks well, considering it was shot with some dudes camera facing his tv. This is only around 5 minutes of footage though but dragged out to 15mins because the guy playing is an idiot

[Jason143]

u have to register off the news story your so lame

[NYC_Gamer]

i'm buying this game soon as its released :)

[4lenangel]

I wanted to watch the first part, but I got hooked and watched all five parts. xD

Why, Rockstar. Release it for the PC!
