Noire in ten years time, the history books will likely focus on the significance of the game's innovative facial animations. It's certainly impressive, but it's not the benchmark I'll remember."
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.
Weird, I think it's a deeply deeply flawed game but for completely different reasons. I think, even if they are trying to create a wholly new type of game experience it should be created for people who have actually put the time in to learn the basics of playing videogames. Just like a good book assumes you have a decent knowledge of the nuances of language. Blaming a game for your 60-something mother's inability to play it is like blaming the work of George Orwell because your thirteen year old gamer son didn't understand the irony and allegory of it.
Like I said though, I think LA noire is flawed to a degree that it just about ruins the game for me but I think that flaw is the fact that it holds your hand way too much. I enjoyed it for a while but now I've just stopped playing and can't start again because I go into every investigation knowing I'm not going to be the one who solves it.
This game would have been amazing if you had to piece together the info for yourself and if you had the choice of who you actually wanted to pin the crime on (I mean every time, rather than occasionally having a 50/50 chance and having to do another chase scene if you guessed wrong).
The thing that sums up the problem with this game for me is this... I've said it before and I'll say it again. There's something very wrong with a detective games that actually requires you to accuse the wrong guy numerous times.
I like that they where trying new things but IMO it gets boring fast. It feels like GTA with interrogations "been there done that".
Ok now I'm getting sick of all this L.A nore post. Every day and all day. If the person did not have his or her reviews in by the first month of sales,then it should not be posted.This other post about stupid info, little info being posted is for the bird's.
