It's certainly been a bit quiet on the L.A Noire front since its big reveal in the March edition of Game Informer magazine, but with Rockstar's recent release of Red Dead Redemption, all eyes are now set on their next major release, Team Bondi's long-in-development and anticipated detective thriller game, L.A Noire.
Rocktstar have just pumped out a whole new batch of L.A Noire screenshots to keep the punters reminded that it's coming along nicely for a expected release later this year. No video media yet, but we'll settle for these for the time being. Check out the new shiny pics at Soft Sailer blog!
L.A. Noire looks fantastic
L.A. Noire looks fantastic visually but it's an absolute turd to play unfortunately. Really badly designed (for the parts that are designed at all) and really badly implemented too.
Luckily for Team Bondi it'll be the visuals that push the units out the door.
Keep us reminded it's coming
Keep us reminded it's coming along nicely? Those screens are from the first case of the game and one of the training missions. They've been at that stage of development for a long time.
Imma give TB a big thumbs up.
but I have to say all the screens I've seen so far are very underwhelming. If they're indicative of final quality then this game needs more work. If they're old captures then what the hell are you guys doing releasing them now for? In the above grab, what's wrong with the guys hands and the way they terminate in the cuffs?
Screens are one thing,
Screens are one thing, GAMEPLAY videos are another. I don't think they have ever released an actual gameplay video of the game captured from the game -- NOT pre-rendered movies.
It's one thing to be secretive; I can see the competitive reasoning behind that. But at this point, with this title SUPPOSEDLY to be released by the end of this year... you'd have expected to see something by now.
Probably because gameplay is
Probably because gameplay is baaaaad. They'll probably try to put the focus on the facial animation and the interior scenes when they start showing ingame footage - Make it look really film-ish. Because actually playing the game is really not fun or interesting.
It seems to me that Rockstar
It seems to me that Rockstar has been focusing on Red Dead Redemption, now that is released I expect L.A. Noire publicity to switch into high gear.
perhaps they keep releasing
perhaps they keep releasing the same old shots and the like to allow people with no idea to get on online forums and chat and big note themselves and generally just be sooky la-la's ? Those in glass houses....
....shouldn't make stupid
....shouldn't make stupid assumptions. You know - assumptions like nobody on Tsumea having ever worked at Team Bondi in the past. It's not like their staff turnover is ridiculously huge or anything, right?
