Anyone has details on the differences b/w the two versions, besides the 3 discs? It'll be interesting to see how this games turns out considering the lead platform here is the PS3.

Was surprised that its only a week away now. I should get cracking on finishing up Challenge Tower in MK and finishing Crysis 2.

Yea I just want to know how fun it is to run wild. What happens if you start shooting up everyone you see? Maybe they have a bandana or something ala RDR where you can disguise yourself.
I also hope there's good cheats. Rioting peds, dodo cheat, etc., though I won't hold my breath for this.

It's on Rockstars website, there is a huge amount of news posted on there for this game... It would have taken me way longer than it already did to post a source for the answer to every single answer to the every question in the opening posts, but I'll do it if you really want!
Edit - Just not today

LA Confidential (this one seems most similar to LA Noire imo)Grisby said:Aw yeah. I've always wanted to be a detective in that time period. Like a childhood dream come true.
Started watching Mad Men in anticipation (also, I've wanted to watch it for a long time) and its just getting me super excited. Does anyone have any obscure or favorite noire films or stuff set near that time period that they recommend? I remember Gaf suggesting westerns around the time of Red Dead's release.
Double Indemnity
The Big Sleep
Few other great neo-noir/detective stuff but not set in the same time period/setting:
Memories of Murder
Memento (this one is the farthest from noir but still has some elements and is great anyway)
Chinatown
But you asked for obscure ones so maybe you're a film guy and have already seen some/all of these.
Mr.Squirrel
Tom
Even though I'd like to get this game, I'm afraid it'll play like GTA, RDR, etc. Hopefully there's a demo or something to play.
Cool beans, I've never seen Double Indemnity or The Big Sleep. LA Confidential is great, saw it a long time ago and then watched it again this weekend.
Edit- Thanks Angry Fork for some more recommends. I'm not the biggest film buff but I've seen my fare share. Still, theres always some film you've never seen or heard of so thats why I added obscure.

Mad Men is set in the 60s; you probably would get a better feel for this by watching the recent film adaptations of James Ellroy's novels. Early previews of this game indicated that it was set in Ellroy's universe, though I'm not sure how faithful the content remained after the transition to Rockstar.
Good job, and I'm looking forward to the game a lot. Pro-tip though, next time you want to make a multi-post OT, might want to PM a mod for assistance when you're doing it to avoid having posts stuck in-between.
Not that I encourage multi-post OTs anyway, because I hate them in general. At least this one is only 3 posts and not 20! *cough*

Thanks for all the kind words ppls. I wasn't sure I was going to get it done today, and as you can see, there is far less pictures in the third post than the other two because I was getting tired and lazy.
I will ad much more into them tomorrow, but it was either not post the thread tonight, and work for another 6 hours tomorrow night, or post tonight, and add some not so important to post at the start stuff at a later date.
I think it turned out pretty well, sorry to the dudes who's monitors can't support 1300 res though. What res monitor do you run? I thought like the minimum these days was at least 1440x900 or something right?
Ahhh... that's a good bit of advice - are you able to fix it this time?
Edit 2 - aaaaannnnddd you've already done it, so I should have checked before I asked... thanks a bundle!!! Looks far better now I'm happy with it! Will go back to JPGs now to save loading time.

Wonder if James Donnelly turns out to be Dudley Smith.

Amazing how many people couldn't wait to just post in this topic, ha.
When's the review embargo?
What? 360 gets the 'exclusive' case in Europe?? Cos that would make my decision a *lot* easier.
Oh and by the way, Colonial Raptor: in the UK, Gamestation pre-orders also get The Naked City DLC.

It seems the ps3 exclusive content is North America only.

Keep in mind that many people also use NeoGAF on wireless devices and phones.
That is a 13" Macbook right?
Okay. In future, width will be restricted to 1000.
I used other OT's for reference and as I said I based the width from the Mortal Kombat OT. Live and learn
Again... Thanks for fixing it up for me

I am certainly feeling this way as well, very excited to have a proper police investigation game, I don't think it's been done yet. I got a really big 'investigation' vibe out of the heavy rain demo, but it didn't end up delivering in the way I wanted... this will hopefully do it for me all the way through.

Great OT! I admit that my hype meter for games doesn't get as high as it used to, but I'm looking forward to this one. I love the premise and I'm hoping for a lot of excellent plot twists. Hopefully episodic content is reasonably priced, because it seems like the kind of game that could live a long time with new cases to solve.

Are you serious? There are (gorgeous and amazing) posters all over New York City, a pretty prominent metropolitan area. (That one with the steering wheel? Looks like a Sean Phillips Criminal cover? AMAZING marketing.)

Yes, high-res images absolutely destroy page formatting in Safari on iPad. It always renders the page to make the images fit, but it's easy enough to zoom it back out manually.duckroll said:I'm on 1366x768 on this laptop right now, since you're asking.

Good thing there are better browsers available for iPad.

I'm cautiously excited for this one. I want to buy the game on launch day but it's getting harder and harder to justify considering how quickly game prices have been dropping after launch lately.
