GamePro takes a close look at L.A. Noire and gos over story, gameplay, and how the team is using state of the art motion scan technology to create incredibly detailed graphics in the upcoming crime thriller.
Members of the original development team behind Rockstar Games' LA Noire are working on a new psychological thriller called Sowden House.
Hopefully McNamara is as far away from this as possible he set up shop in Australia then did nothing but complain about Australian labour laws while trying to make his workers live at the office working 24/7 on la noire punishing them for leaving at 3 am and being 10 minutes late to work at 9am the next day.
It's astonishing that none of the workers went to the fair work ombudsman as the studio would have been fined astronomical numbers
Brendan McNamara is a brilliant writer and director but he should never, ever be in charge of a studio. What he did to those devs was far beyond "crunch", and it went on for, what, 7 years? That's insane.
But I'm glad to see some of that team have come together again to create something new. A psychological thriller sounds right up my alley.

Would love to see a sequel to the 7th gen FPS campaign SINGULARITY from RAVEN Software..
L.A. Noire is coming to the library of free games available to GTA+ Members on Thursday, May 2.
Visually it looks great, and its from Rockstar, but honestly, I don't think this game will catch on. Still, I'm hoping it will be an unexpected hit like the incredible "Red Dead Redemption."
This game is going to sell millions. It will probably attract the 20+ male demographic who are old enough to appreciate the 'Noir' Hollywood era. Not implying the younger audience won't jump on it, but it's clearly aimed at the mature market.
Seems to me a lot of money went into the tech for this game, so I can see it being marketed as 'The Next Big Thing' from Rockstar.
To my knowledge, Rockstar have never released a game that didn't do the numbers for them.
Worthy of a Pre-order/Day one purchase IMO.

Yeah, I purchased Bully when I was a (RIP)360 owner. Come to think of it, a lot of my friends bought it too. Granted, it was never a multi-million seller, but does a game have to be to be considered a super selling success ala COD series? No, IMO....
Ever heard of ICO, SOC, Shenmue?...there are more examples about great titles that didn't sell zillions, but still did the numbers since they were profitable enough to spawn a sequel (Bully 2 was announced 2009).
Good point though.
i hope there no multiplayer; and i hope its not another impossible platinum trophy like gta or rdr
