Rumour - LA Noire slated for release on PS3, 360 and PC

VG247:

Treat this as rumour for now, but if a LinkedIn CV of Senior Lightning Artist at Team Bondi Carl Ross is correct, it seems that the long overdue LA Noire is slated for release on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC.

This is what it says on his profile:

"Team Bondi - August 2007 - Present
LA Noire - Senior Artist, Lighting.
PS3, 360, PC"

We'll check in with Rockstar about this and see if they'll bite on this one.

1.1 - it was first announced as a PS3 exclusive.
however there have been mixed reports on whether the console will hit other system and has never officially been confirmed for any other platforms.

Anyways, I'm excited for this game if it's a adventure and not action oriented.

the only thing that is 100% confirmed
that's its going to a be a PS3 version
that's the only thing they announced up till new
however i dont think this game is a ps3 exclusive

all and all
its still a Rumor up tell now
so i don’t take anything for granted till rock star north gives the word

EDIT:
this rumor is 100% false
i did some research
and this what i found

"The game development is fully funded by Sony Computer Entertainment America, but the development is very slow due to the vacancy positions of the company."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...

one other thing

"Team Bondi is an Australian independent Third-party game developer, especially for the next generation game consoles. The company was founded by Brendan McNamara[2], who was the former Director of Development for Sony Computer Entertainment’s Team Soho Studio in London and writer and director of The Getaway which has gone on to sell over 4 million units on the PlayStation 2 console."

So I think that Team Bondi and Sony got a good connection

Yeah, it's hard to tell what to think of this project. The official Team Bondi site for the game says "Platform: Next Generation Consoles" - which implies more than just PS3. And you've got this guy claiming he worked on it for PS3, PC, and 360.

So, why does the wikipedia entry suggest that Sony is funding the game? If they're funding it, it isn't going to any other platforms. But apparently it is going to other platforms. Also, why would Sony fund it, and have nothing to do with the publication of it? I mean, Team Bondi is an independent studio, Sony is funding the game, and then somehow Rockstar is publishing it? It doesn't gel. The most recent source that says Team Bondi had a project being funded by Sony was a Eurogamer interview from 2004, that was 2 years before the PS3 was even out, and 5 years ago from today, and it doesn't even mention that L.A. Noir is that project.

So... I just don't know.

Sony DOES make PS3/PC games but I can't recall a PS3 game also on PC (or even slted yet) that ian't an MMO-is there one that isn't?

Still, the listing of this has ALWAYS been for next gen consoles with PS3 just being the only one confirmed and, who knows, someone could just have read the PS3 bit on TB's site , heard the earlier Sony rumours about funding and made 2 + 2 = 56-and that's what's ended up on Wiki. It wouldn't be the first time now would it?

If Sony were funding the game it WOULD be published by them as well as all the games they support tend to be, at least all in the west anyway as Capcom publish GOW in Japan even though SCEA make it-go figure. I'd imagine, then, that the rumour might well prove to be true and PS3 might be lead platform which is why it was the first confirmed but I've NEVER had LA Noire down as a PS3 exclusive myself(except for a week when everyone told me it was!)-ever since seeing TB's listing for the game and fail to see why that should change unless we get told otherwise from R*/TB/Sony.

Frankly all this means is that more gamers don't have a clue about a game coming to their machine! What is it? 3 years(nearly) and we've only got that first announcement trailer?

Sony invested in the project at the start but then for whatever reason decided to pull the funding. This explains why it was initially announced for PS3 only and now seems to be heading for the 360 too.

I remember reading months ago on many of the major game sites that it had been confirmed for the 360. Dont really know about the pc version. I dont pay much attention to pc games cause I dont like using a mouse and keyboard. I guess they could of been miss informed.

I dont care cause after buying GTA4 I'll never buy another game made by rockstar that was the worse piece of crap I ever played.

oh and I play a lot of bad games lol

Maybe they'll release info when they're ready.

This is the 3rd time I'm posting this. If you go to Team Bondi's OWN WEBSITE, it's listed for all three. It's been listed for all three for a couple years FFS.

I can't figure out where these "rumor" stories keep coming from. You don't need to contact Rockstar, it's a friggin multi game, unless TB has had an error on their own site for several years.

Yes, like wxer says, it's NEVER mentioned 360 specifically on their website. It changed from PS3 to 'next generation consoles' about a year ago.

Wait a minute... What if LA NOIRE is AGENT? They probably scrapped the 30-40's timeline for the 70's.
