Rockstar Games is pleased to announce a partnership with Team Bondi Pty Ltd to publish the ground-breaking next generation crime thriller L.A. Noire. Developed by Team Bondi, a new Australian based studio founded by Brendan McNamara, of The Getaway, L.A Noire is an interactive detective story set in the classic noir period of the late 1940's.

L.A. Noire blends action, detection and complex storytelling and draws players into an open-ended challenge to solve a series of gruesome murders. Set in a perfectly recreated Los Angeles before freeways, with a post-war backdrop of corruption, drugs and jazz, L.A. Noire will truly blend cinema and gaming.[/quote]

You play the game as a private eye, if it's anything like GTA, it'll be open-ended, and awesome.

Also, it's pronounced: "No-w-aR"

I just hope Rockstar makes this game completely serious. I don't really want the sexual humor of the GTA series in this game.

Premise seems to be good, and game could turn out amazing. I don't know what the current production status really is on it...as far as I know it is "in production" yet on hold.

PS3 is the only platform I believe, as was [i]rumored[/i] to be put exclusive so they weren't limited.

It looks like it's running on the same engine as GTAIV.

That is not GTA IV engine, or at least the version GTA IV is on, and this was in production before that I think.
That said, nothing is known about it.
And I'm [i]mainly[/i] talking about Blu-Ray.

I really hope this somehow gets on PC.

Probably not.

Heard about this like way back in 06 or something. I really want to play it, I'm a sucker for anything noir.

I'm a sucker for anything open world.
Which reminds me to make a particular thread soon on an upcoming game.
