Switch love. I love it! Grand Theft, Red Dead, and Bully...you know what to do Rockstar!

PS Midnight Club 3 DUB Edition!

 

[nel e nel]

There is nothing wrong with the prompts as they are. The overreactions are a punishment for not thinking things through.

Sorry, but when the "Force" option is labeled as "Doubt" that's not about not thinking it through. That's more akin to ordering the steak and you get the fish.

 

[Hesh]

It is a separate game, which features seven of the cases from the original rebuilt for VR.

Aww nuts. I really don't want to have to triple-dip on this.

 

[MilkyJoe]

Switch should replace Xbox tho.

Why?

 

[ASaiyan]

Of all the Switch rumors, I did not expect this one to come through. I played this game exactly once years ago, so I don't remember how I felt about it, lol. Apparently the overall sentiment is not warm.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

hah, i guess. I'm not sure if i even finished this game.

I think this was one of the first games I rented that I immediately exchanged for a different game when Blockbusters/GameRentals were phasing out.

 

[Sailent]

Something the bourgeoisie will enjoy. Yay.

 

[AbsolutBro]

Never played the game, don't really care about the game, just give me a vinyl soundtrack rerelease!

 

[SJRB]

What the fuck, Rockstar

 

[NimbusD]

Not exactly a game I want. But honestly I'd love more last gen ports to switch. There was a lot of great games I missed because I only had a Wii U. I have a 360 now, but using it feels like a chore, I'd much rather the graphics be slightly improved and be on a console that's much more of a pleasure to use.

 

[witness]

Rockstar game on Switch!? Gotta support it to get more support, never played this so I hope I dig it.

 

[Hurricane43]

LA Noire Folks, "New Features" 4k, and so much more... 4K for only 49.99... if its more than 4.99 no thanks

 

[J@hranimo]

Shoutout to NateDrake for calling this one!

 

[ngower]

Never got around to playing this as I was in school at the time, would bite pending price. Hopefully the Switch version isn't just a 1:1 port of the original and looks at least mildly improved, though I'm not expecting much. Curious to see the DigitalFoundry comparisons when those come out.

 

[EDarkness]

I had no intention of picking this game up, but if it has gyro aiming on the NS and motion controls, then I'll be there day one. I was even just thinking of finishing this up on the 360, but I'll wait until November for that. Just hope the port turns out okay.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

I think that was the point. You used your intuition and that means you won't always be right. I like how if you don't know what you're doing you can arrest the wrong person and you won't really solve the case. Because that shit happens all the time in real life. Also loved noticing subtle tales in the animations. IDK, I didn't really struggle at all with the game But I get why people do.

The main problem with the interrogation system is how they changed the original Coax, Force and Lie into Truth, Doubt, and Lie.

That may have been the point, but that doesn't mean it wasn't poorly executed. There was never anything to learn from your mistakes. It's not like I would just rush through and ignore all of the narrative/evidence/tells, I was doing the investigating, looking at evidence, talking to the right people, but when you got to the interrogation room, it felt like none of that mattered. It was a guessing game.

 

[Celine]

No, i meant that Smuggler's Run was the first game on a Nintendo console from Rockstar. Table Tennis is still not the last one, the last one is Manhunt 2.

Actually the first game from Rockstar (publisher) to land on a Nintendo console was Monster Truck Madness 64 for N64.

 

[DJwest]

Max Payne 3 next please.

 

[Flagship]

I enjoyed L.A. Noire on release (except for the last 10% or so of the game or so) but I did wish there was a bit more to do in the open world.

I don't find much to be compelling for these ports though, perhaps adding a bit more content would help entice me to replay or if this was an opportunity to supporting them to gauge the market on a potential sequel/spiritual successor like 'Whore of the Orient' but I doubt that's the case unless they came out and said so (since the original studio has closed it's operations).

Definitely intrigued to hear more though, I really enjoyed many of the Shenmue-esque elements this game had, it felt very fresh at especially at the time...

 

[Art Vandilay]

I really hope RDR2 wasn't delayed because of this.

 

[black070]

I really hope RDR2 wasn't delayed because of this.

You should be hoping Red Dead even makes Q2 2018.

 

[DrBo42]

Do we have to buy this to get them to do the same for other Rockstar games? It's like a ransom for games people actually want to play. With all that said I'm very curious what they do with the Switch version.

 

[LastNac]

Real talk, glad this is a thing.

I have a soft spot for the game, can't wait to play it again.

 

[Kounse11or]

Never played it. Will get for the Switch!

 

[Ridley327]

I really hope RDR2 wasn't delayed because of this.

The last time that a Rockstar game came out when it was originally supposed to was, what, Table Tennis? RDR2 was always going to get delayed.

 

[Shiggy]

By the way, here are the RRPs for the retail versions:
Xbox One and PS4: EUR 39.99
Switch: EUR 49.99

 

[I Wanna Be The Guy]

It's not the Rockstar game I wanted. But it's a start.

 

[Silurus]

Day one for me on Switch. One of my favourite games of last gen. love the setting and era.

 

[pargonta]

been wanting to replay this since 2011 or whatever. may purchase on ps4pro if framerate on 4k is clean, or if i can select 1080 smooth framerate

 

[TGO]

These improvements won't come to Steam version too?

It's a Remaster not an update.

 

[Soldiussnaku]

Yup this is the Rockstar next-gen remaster everybody wanted

Yup

First post nails it. La noire was a good game, but had its deep seated flaws, one which was a not so compelling open world and repetitive, unrewarding gameplay.


Oh, and yeah I get it, window dressing game world an all, game is quite linear, but one of the main draws was the 1940s world, feel look and opportunity to explore it. That didn't work out so well for the game.

I suppose it's good news for consoles, but a port of SA , a GTAA, or bully would have been hype. I don't see any crowd, even on gaf, slavishly wanting a la noire remaster.

 

[LordKano]

It's a Remaster not an update.

Didn't stop Skyrim from being updated for free to the Special Edition.

 

[The Hermit]

expected

 

[Elitist1945]

I'm hard as fuck.

 

[Dr. Black Jack]

Fuck yes. Favorite non-Nintendo game of last gen.

 

[Ridley327]

Didn't stop Skyrim from being updated for free to the Special Edition.

Bethesda is still primarily a PC developer first and foremost. Rockstar's track record on the PC is such that it was seen as a minor miracle that the PC version of Max Payne 3 managed to release within the same month as the console versions.

 

[Simo]

The game wasn't really that good and I'd rather they focus their efforts on a sequel to fix the issues the original had.

That said and real talk, fuck this remaster where the hell is news/update/whatever on Red Dead Redemption 2?!

 

[Art Vandilay]

The last time that a Rockstar game came out when it was originally supposed to was, what, Table Tennis? RDR2 was always going to get delayed.

You should be hoping Red Dead even makes Q2 2018.

Touché. We need the Benz.

 

[Desmond]

Is that the boxart? New logo looks great too. Will pick up on ps4 and maybe switch too.

 

[Chao]

Am I crazy or by the end of the generation we will have a port of every major game from last gen

 

[etta]

Awwww yeeee

 

[Mediking]

Lol the rumors were true.

Here comes Rockstar actually supporting the Switch.

Switch gotta pass the test!

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

 

[mreddie]

Why not RDR Remastered or Midnight Club?

L.A. Noire was okay but the worst ending to a Rockstar game ever.

 

[Baraka Obama]

Isn't that Mafia 2?

Yep

 

[Mr. Phellps]

Hopefully this a sign that a possible sequel is not off the table.

 

[mavericktopgun]

Just GTA5 please

 

[Karak]

I seriously can't wait.

 

[Strike]

So it's real. Hopefully that means that there's still some life left in the IP. I'd like to see what their internal studios could do with a sequel.

 

[Endo Punk]

One of my favourite games last gen, tempted but pass. Now if they make a sequel and call it NY Noire, All in.
