Support NeoGAF

[MisterR]

And you're always first in line whenever them no good Nintendo fans do terrible things like be excited, or optimistic or heaven forbid be slightly misinformed as to the quality of a port or some such nonsense.

I've been a lurker for ages and I'm shocked you're *still* at this charade like you were when I first visited this site.

What exactly is the issue you have?

I find the constant need for affirmation annoying. You like something that's great, you feel the need for everybody else to agree with you that what you like it the best thing ever? That's annoying.

 

[Xaero Gravity]

Yup this is the Rockstar next-gen remaster everybody wanted

Yup

It is for me. Easily one of my favorite games ever.

 

[More_Badass]

Not really

i just don't think the issues with the open world in LA Noire would be magically fixed just because you now can be bored on the go. it really felt like an afterthought and just letting your partner drive you everywhere is the best way to enjoy the game IMO. And unlike some here i actually really enjoyed LA Noire, warts and all, but i just can't defend the open world and sprinkling more collectibles around won't fix it.

Is an open world only worthwhile if there is stuff to do? Does atmosphere and sense of place not count?

 

[ToonLink]

Huh. So the rumours were true. I'm in for either PS4 or Switch version.

 

[Dark Cloud]

Enjoy it all you want. Just don't expect others to kiss your ass over it.

It's not that serious.

 

[digoutyoursoul]

I like the game despite the obvious flaws and I’ll nab this day one but I would have much preferred a remastered version of Max Payne 3, which to this day is my favorite TPS.

Give me a PSPRO version running at 60fps and I’ll give you a full 60 bucks because I’m Rockstar’s whore.

Also, it’s nice Rockstar isn’t ignoring the Switch.

Love Max Payne 3. If they do a Remaster I hope they remove the text/colour effects for The cutscenes, found them distracting.

What a soundtrack by Health

 

[AndrewDean84xX]

What if you instead have GTA V ported to Switch?

Who's to say it isn't coming down the line, with Red Dead Redemption right behind it?

 

[Shadow Broker]

It's a test!

It's always a test.

 

[BigEmil]

Never liked the LA Noire game so gonna pass.

 

[Jaded Alyx]

No, that would be Smuggler's Run Warzones on GC

Are you living in backwards land where the GameCube released after the Wii?

 

[Thoraxes]

Wow, didn't think the Switch part of the rumor would've played out. Gonna be a tough choice for platform again for me, cause portability is huge for me but I'll also have an XBO X.

 

[FelipeMGM]

The PS4/X1 version is being done internally by a small team. The Switch version is being outsourced (since it's more a straight port than graphical enhancement). Not sure about the Vive version but I can imagine that's in-house as well.

nice

So yeah, could be a case where R* is putting their devs working on the game to familiarize them with the IP (since the first one was developed by Bondi), and maybe have them work on future games in the franchise

 

[Keinning]

Is an open world only worthywhile if there is stuff to do? Does atmosphere and sense of place not count?

It depends on what you consider enjoyable, but generally yes, i would say open worlds with stuff to do are generally better than the ones with just pretty sights, at least for me. Which is why W3 open world get praise and something like FFXV open world don't

Even in exploration the LA Noire open world was lacking since there were so few places you could actually explore.

 

[Toni]

Nobody asked for this. lol

 

[Lonestar]

The thing I remember most from this game, besides the sliding down stairs gif, was the Funny or Die: LA Noire parody

 

[Xaero Gravity]

Nobody asked for this. lol

🙋

 

[Ivan 3414]

I liked the game on 360 but never finished it; will definitely pick this up again

Also can we stop pretending like no one wanted this port on current gen consoles; just from this thread alone there's clearly interest

Thanks

 

[Majin Boo]

So they will port every title except for RDR, great...

 

[Dusktildawn48]

Nobody asked for this. lol

I'd definitely replay this for the right price, do we know how much it's gonna be?

 

[Rellik]

Nobody asked for this. lol

Lol lmao haha they clearly did lol

 

[MisterR]

This is also true, as the game is episodic by nature, and being able to pick up and play whenever will be great, especially when playing something like ARMS "the correct way" in public might not be advisable.
You should probably take a break from posting for a bit, if that's what you're getting from this thread.

Let me ask you a question. Why exactly is it so important to you for everybody to call this the definitive version of the game? You've gone on and on about it. Why does it matter to you so much that it gets that kind of recognition on this board?

 

[Plum]

I find the constant need for affirmation annoying. You like something that's great, you feel the need for everybody else to agree with you that what you like it the best thing ever? That's annoying.

Nobody's wanting anything except you and your weird hyperbole who seemingly want to silence those who dare be excited about the Switch's portability and its effects on this game.

Who's to say it isn't coming down the line, with Red Dead Redemption right behind it?

I wouldn't be surprised if GTAV is released sometime next year, especially if this does well. LA Noire was likely going to come to PS4/X1/Vive regardless of the Switch whereas a Switch port of GTAV would require specific attention on that console, that's my thinking for why they're porting LA Noire over first instead of GTAV.

 

[adamsapple]

Nobody asked for this. lol

 

[BanjoLayleeYookaKazooie]

Who the heck was saying this is 'the best thing ever and you're wrong if you disagree?' No one as far as I can see, you're just being typically hyperbolic to justify your nonsense.

Someone just thought the Switch version might be the definitive edition and you've gone bent out of shape for some bizarre reason. They were (probably) wrong, and have been corrected. Heck, it wasn't even a stupid thing to think considering the new features the Switch version has and how the industry warps words like 'definitive' to suit their needs at a moment's notice.

You could've handled yourself better here I reckon.

EDIT: and it's great how you've just stated that you hate people who want affirmation that what they like is the best thing ever, because there's been plenty of other users here who are *far* more hyperbolic about their love for other system(s) yet your absence in those threads they've created is now very conspicuous I must say wink-wink-nudge-nudge.

 

[More_Badass]

I'm not talking about pretty sights or exploration. I'm talking about the sense of place and context. Especially in a game focused on conveying a historical time period or era, a la Mafia 2 and LA Noire.

What exactly would having "stuff to do" add to the game besides filler and out-of-character distractions for detectives who are in the middle of trying to go to witnesses and follow leads?

 

[falcones]

So... If Vive is supported, maybe it'll be at least 60fps on PC this time?

 

[xrnzaaas]

Sweet, will get the PS4 version.

 

[GifGafIsTheBestGaf]

not the surprise i wanted be surprised about. that been said, i didnt get to play this one back in the day so depending on the price i might be there day one or later next year

 

[kennyamr]

*PlayStation®4 interactive entertainment systems

 

[Graphics Horse]

Who's to say it isn't coming down the line, with Red Dead Redemption right behind it?

GTAV will be out for the Vth anniversary, mark my words,
or don't because I'm just guessing.

 

[Sadist]

I find the constant need for affirmation annoying. You like something that's great, you feel the need for everybody else to agree with you that what you like it the best thing ever? That's annoying.

Well I find it highly annoying that you feel the need to mention it every time in a Switch thread and that happens a lot. You could always, I don't know, ignore it?

 

[Breakage]

Game's dull as fuck. Good soundtrack though.

 

[Sparrowhawk]

Rockstar and Nintendo? Hell yes.

 

[Keinning]

What exactly would having "stuff to do" add to the game besides filler and out-of-character distractions for detectives who are in the middle of trying to go to witnesses and follow leads?

A reason to have an open world to begin with.
You could still have the same sense of place and context if the game were a linear experience, in fact i think the game would be improved by narrowing its focus more on the investigations and less on the time spent getting there. If they wanted to make an open world, they should have invested more on it.

 

[Duchess O'Death]

Yes please!!!! One of favorite games ever!

 

[Salty Rice]

La Noire remaster announced after Best Friends LP? Coincidence? I think NOT.

 

[Pinky]

Let me ask you a question. Why exactly is it so important to you for everybody to call this the definitive version of the game? You've gone on and on about it. Why does it matter to you so much that it gets that kind of recognition on this board?

What's hilarious is the fact that it's getting to you so bad. Let it go?

 

[chronic_archaic]

So getting this assuming the price is $30 or less.

 

[Keinning]

So getting this assuming the price is $30 or less.

wouldn't count on it if i were you

speaking of which, how big is the game + all DLC on PC? i remember it being pretty big, will it use a 32GB cartridge for switch?

 

[GrazGamer]

Just deciding what to play next and this has just pushed me towards dusting off the PC version for a replay. Played the PS3 version and enjoyed it. Gonna look a lot better in 4K I hope.

 

[WITHE1982]

Great news.

I'm not the biggest fan of the game but I'll definitely pick it up again on PS4. If they can reach even half the quality they did with the GTA 5 remaster then it'll look incredible.

Wasn't there some kind of issue though surrounding the mo-cap stuff for the faces though? Sure I read it may be a problem updating them for a remaster.

 

[butman]

LA Noire was an average game, that had a fun gimmick that went on way too long.

No thank you.

The only "Rockstar" it has is the logo on the cover.

 

[packy34]

Really enjoyed the slower pace of LA Noire. Not all of it works, but the face capture stuff was a pretty impressive technical achievement.

I'll get the Switch version.

 

[Fess]

wouldn't count on it if i were you

speaking of which, how big is the game + all DLC on PC? i remember it being pretty big, will it use a 32GB cartridge for switch?

Deep inside you know how they'll do it and you know there will be a 20 page thread about it when it's announced.

 

[FZW]

Confirmed getting Xbox One X enhancements:

https://twitter.com/XboxQwik/status/905781287641681920

Definitely know which platform im getting it for now

 

[Daffy Duck]

No idea why people would double dip on this, the novelty soon wore off and I was glad it was over.

 

[Guymelef]

From all Rockstar franchises...
They chose this shit.

 

[andthebeatgoeson]

Day 1 on switch. I would love a GTA too.

 

[Crazyorloco]

Great news for everyone. damn.

I'm not sure if I should pick up up on the Xbox one or the Switch.

The switch is becoming my main system lately. Every freaking month there's something I want.

If a GTA V comes out on the Switch I will buy that day zero. I own the game already, but to have that in a portable form...would be amazing.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

So... If Vive is supported, maybe it'll be at least 60fps on PC this time?

That is a separate product.
