"It's not without its faults, and the interrogation procedure in particular is sure to infuriate as much as it will captivate, but you can't help feeling that the bar has been raised dramatically by LA Noire, at least in terms of presentation. We'd find it hard to sit through an RPG full of waxy-faced characters phoning in their dialogue after witnessing the wonders of the MotionScan tech. Also, the core free-roaming elements are easily a match for the likes of GTA, in a world perhaps even more lovingly realised than that of Liberty City. It doesn't quite match the heady heights of expectation surrounding it, but LA Noire remains a damn fine game, with a blueprint that will undoubtedly spawn a masterpiece follow-up and countless imitators in the years to come."
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.
about right 8/10. stiff movement, poor aiming, bad car controls, lack of camera angles,nonskippable interogation.
Only saving grace is the story,characters, and overall presentation
