PS3 lead platform for L.A Noire, most studios porting to 360 - Team Bondi

Nothing big. Just a note or something about being careful about spoilers.

Even more important seeing as the US gets this game a few days before europe.

Spoiler consideration / request / guidelines have been added to the OP.

I'm gonna buy it when its 14€, prolly during the fall. I will however be playing it on my black and white monitor.

 

[Oni Jazar]

Does anyone know why Gamefly has stopped renting the PS3 version but continues to rent the 360 version?

Whoa... that's very weird. I've had both on my queue forever and it's showing me that PS3 is not rentable. ????

It was lead platform 5-6 years ago when it was an exclusive. So yea that was known for a very long time now.

Hey just saw it. Thank you man.

 

[jgminto]

That 15 minute video is such a tease. Just as it starts getting good it ends. Now I want to watch more but I know I can't. This is definately going to be a very cinematic experience.

I have a feeling this is the beginning of game companies not allowing Gamefly to rent games anymore.

 

[JoeBoy101]

Just saw the 15 minute video and yeah, game looks fucking TIGHT! Also, the video is pretty harmless spoiler wise. It gives a good taste of what to expect though, so I recommend watching it. Ended up liking Cole more that I thought.

But just the PS3 version?

Guess I'm going for PS3 then... I feel weird and confused.

 

[Chaplain]

For now. If more people end up buying the game now, I am certain other companies will follow in Rockstar's footsteps.

so, no sub-hd port this time, RDR2 by team bondi please.

Looks like the Guardian review has been yanked. It's nowhere to be found on the Guardian site.

More like Rockstar needs to lead on PS3, and port over to the 360.

Also if they're willing to do 3 discs with LA Noire, I don't want to hear disc space as an excuse for the next GTA.

I hope PSN network is up by Tuesday. I want to play the entire game while connected to my social club account and be able to download all the DLC missions before I start playing the game.

Oh hell no. I want each every every last wonderful person at San Diego who worked on Redemption back for Red Dead 3.

I'm glad to hear that the focus is on the main story and free-roaming isn't as big of a draw as in RDR and GTAIV. I love the free-roaming aspects of those games but it isn't really what I want out of L. A. Noire.

 

[cackhyena]

Ugh, why did they take out release date delivery on Amazon? This is happening more frequently with games for reasons I can't understand. They always put it back up at the last minute as well.

 

[VeryGooster]

I don't have a DS3. I hope that isn't going to be a big problem...

IMO, LA Noire's graphic doesn't look awesomer than even the PS3 version's RDR

Arghhh
I was holding off hoping to get an early copy locally, but it doesn't seem like it's going to pan out :/ Amazon was my backup

 

[darkressurection]

Good to know that the PS3 version should be up to spec with the 360 version. That was pretty much my last sticking point for me to get it on PS3 (other than, you know, PSN being down) so I think I will go ahead and pick it up on dat Triple.

[Sethos]

Really, really hope Lens of Truth of someone else does a head-2-head comparison before launch. Really want the 360 version as I hate the PS3 controller with a passion but on the other hand, I'm a big whore for graphics and framerates.

 

[Kintaco]

I don't have a DS3. I hope that isn't going to be a big problem...

I hope you have a sixaxis then, you'll need a controller of some sort I think, I don't have a source though.

 

[VeryGooster]

Saw this on Facebook via Twitter, the Kmart Gamer?

My internet is down so I will post the LA Noire deal and link to the blog tomorrow. If you are a Shop Your Way Reward Member you will receive a $20 gaming coupon with purchase of LA Noire and also be able go get any $19.99 and under game for free!

I hope you have a sixaxis then, you'll need a controller of some sort I think, I don't have a source though.

Yeah. I have the SIXAXIS that came with my 40 (now 320) GB PS3. I'm just wondering of the lack if vibration is going to screw me in the investigations.

 

[Reknoc]

PS3 for me, think I dislike disc swapping more than I dislike the DS3.

Watching the first 15min thing now. Seriously reminded of Shenmue when the dude picks something up and twists his wrist around.

 

[sneakypete]

So the general consensus is that Gamestop has the best DLC right?

 

[ProtoCents]

So the general consensus is that Gamestop has the best DLC right?

Yes. Especially if you pre-ordered with a Power Up Card in or prior to April for the Chicago Piano gun.

To maximize your "bonus" (sigh) content you would have pre-ordered from Gamestop in or before April and selected the PS3 version.

Lame, but... this is 2011.

 

[Kintaco]

Yeah. I have the SIXAXIS that came with my 40 (now 320) GB PS3. I'm just wondering of the lack if vibration is going to screw me in the investigations.

Some would say that it's better that way.

Well I would argue that Best Buy is just as good, if you go to the midnight launch. You get the sharpshooter suit, and a DLC case. Plus $15 GC and a $10 RZ coupon (GC).

 

[Grisby]

So I wonder what the price point for the extra cases online will be. I imagine they can't be more then $10.

That was awesome. Couldn't be any more pumped for this game now

 

[ashbash159]

Even still after watching those 15 minutes I'm not sure what the whole game will be like.

I think I'll have to wait until the reviews and until Giant Bomb's Quick Look of the game next week.

The game comes out Friday in the UK so I have enough time from when the reviews and the Quick Look go up until it gets released to make my mind up.

 

[Sethos]

The game looks so incredibly good. The atmosphere and the faces just capture me immediately! It's amazing how much believable characters does for a game.

Which is why Enslaved was so awesome, coupled with the incredible world.

I'd argue that this is the better deal since all the DLC cases are supposed to be purchaseable (is that a word?) in the future, and you could use the GCs to buy points to buy the cases.

yes but a LOT of Best Buy's locations aren't doing a midnight launch

Showing up as "Video not found!" for me.

 

[TheExodu5]

I should not have watched the 15 minute video. My expectations for this game were really low...and after watching that, my hype is going through the roof. Now I can't go anywhere but down.

edit: except for that fist fight...that was a little silly.

 

[DevelopmentArrested]

the video's down again.. rockstar really pulling out all the punches to embargo everything about the game.

I watched the vid yesterday and forgot but... it looks like you are automatically transported to the next scene when you get in your car right? (you dont drive there yourself)

 

[Gorgon]

LA Noire largely does away with the free-roaming that enhanced the appeal of Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption. As you drive around, you do occasionally hear of street crimes to which you can respond, and there are hidden vehicles and LA landmarks that completists can collect and visit, but the overwhelming focus is on the main story

More and more I come to the conclusion that these reviewers are incompetent fucks who don't even understand the difference between free-roaming and sandbox.
