LA Noire is Like...

Have you heard of this new game? Just came out recently, calls itself LA Noire. A detective game reminiscent of the old adventure games. I’m sure you have, everyone who reads knows how critics praise it as a step ahead for games, which it rightfully deserves. The only thing they don’t say is what the game is like. I mean, they always say it’s unlike any other game they’ve played. It ain’t “GTA with hats,” or Red Dead Redemption for that matter. No, this is something uniquely different from both Rockstar games, but I recognized some elements from other video games to know its formula ain’t that new – but that ain’t a bad thing either.

I wonder if there will be an undead nightmare style dlc for this game. It would be like the X-files.

Like a Masterpiece

Lirky5485d ago

It's a team bondi game. Rockstar are just publishing it, thats like

silicon knights making a epic adventure game and kojima productions are publishing it.

PhantomT14125484d ago (Edited 5484d ago )

If you've looked at the credits and McNamara's statements (Team Bondi's boss), Rockstar helped a lot for the development of the game, it's not like most of the other publishers just watching and packing up the product.

Rockstar launches official marketplace for mods

Rockstar has launched an official marketplace for "every server and every player" to buy mods: Cfx Marketplace.

I wonder how much of this isn't just taken work of others who have modded for free.

Edit: Also, great way for R* to take popular ideas and build them into GTAVI based on demand.

fr0sty134d ago

What I see happening here is, R* is going to ban mods in GTA6 UNLESS you buy them from the marketplace and R* then gets a cut of that sale.

ActualWhiteMan134d ago

Ah, perfect timing with them taking down the Bully online fan mod. Greedy a$$ company.

Christopher134d ago

It's okay as long as they get a cut of the money.

fr0sty134d ago

Expect R* to force it on you.

Snookies12134d ago

Yep, right there with you. I'll happily donate to a mod creator if it looks really cool, or if I enjoy it. But expecting payment up front? Nope, not touching it.

IanTH134d ago (Edited 134d ago )

I'm not entirely sure how to read this, as it doesn't seem exactly like an exact parallel to Bethesda's paid mods shenanigans.

Rather than single player stuff, this appears to be aimed solely on Cfx Servers. From what I've gleaned, apparently Rockstar bought the Cfx mod team several years ago, coming a few years after weird contentions led them to ban a few of their members. Ultimately, the question is if they plan to keep this contained to only online/servers.

I have to guess to a degree yes. It'd be pretty hard to "force" paid mods for single player when modding files locally on your own machine, but much easier for servers they'll control. So perhaps this is their soft launch ahead of GTA6 online and they'll clamp down more tightly on non-official servers going forward? Ever since they've become a 1 or 2 property studio, I haven't really cared much for Rockstar stuff, so I'm not entirely up on everything surrounding this. Sounds like it has the potential to be problematic further down the line, but right now fairly easy to ignore...I think lol.

They were involved in protected Union activities and Rockstar will be in trouble with the NLRB.

DarXyde186d ago

You think this NLRB will lift a finger?

Ps5conehead185d ago

Watch the video this is in England

gerbintosh185d ago

Basically this is Rockstar vs the Union members word. These employees could be cherry picking or spoofing the chat logs.Rockstar could be lying. I will withhold judgment until Discord is subpoened and releases the chat group text from their servers.

Rockstar co-founder Dan Houser explains why open world spy game Agent never worked out

A rare interview from the former GTA and Red Dead Redemption writer and executive producer.

dveio209d ago

Interesting to know.

Among MGS4, Agent was the reason I wanted and bought a PS3. (Who knew we would get other gems like Killzone 2 and TLoU.)

I always assumed it got cancelled due to hardware restrictions even at that time.

Deeeeznuuuts209d ago

Such a shame, I remember first reading about it in official playstation magazine, Agent and The Getaway are the two cancelled games I wish I could play 😩

Christopher208d ago

Because it had to be open world, of course. Couldn't change that and make the Agent game work otherwise. Totally buying it.

Redgrave208d ago

I used to laugh whenever I'd see someone cite Agent as a game to look forward to, because it was never officially canceled (at least, as far as I've seen.)

"It's still real to me, dammit!"
