Had it in my hands but couldn't go through with the mark-up of $20. Fuck that.

Anyone in the Philly area looking for it early, send me a PM...I'll give you his email to set it up. Its just one person, not a store.

 

[Plasmid]

Ehh, canceled amazon, went and paid off at gamestop, 2 days and 4 hours, 50 minutes.

 

[Self_Destructive]

anyone know where this pic originated from?

 

[nelsonroyale]

This is interesting...some 360 owners are more insecure on this game than ps3 owners usually are... I guess thats because people are more used to getting the inferior version on ps3.... Going by the 360 vids I have seen, it looks pretty much identical. Given the game's history though, it seems like the ps3 version would be stronger if anything.

 

[Amir0x]

so close now. I'm going solve me some cases and shit

Would be funny if that was legit. Looks more like a comparison between a higher quality stream and some older footage from the trailers.

 

[Amir0x]

of course it's not legit. They've been showing almost nothing but PS3 footage for weeks and months now and it looks nothing like that.

 

[DrBo42]

Not saying that picture is legit but the PS3 footage I've been seeing has been similarly blown out. Maybe it's from someone's setup that hasn't been adjusted for PS3.

We've seen PS3 footage all over the place. Almost all the video you've ever seen so far is PS3 footage. We know how the PS3 game looks. It's not legit.

[Forsete]

The PS3 version obviously compresses the framebuffer via MPEG1 368kbit 8-bit before displaying the image.

Actually, the "PS3 Shot" in the comparison is from the first gameplay video "Orientation". Of course, it is compressed so much that it doesn't even work as a proper comparison.

I'm so happy now.

 

[AgentOtaku]

Watched the first 15. Great stuff and was happy to see run mapped to R2 instead of a damn face button (cause you know, it's nice to have camera control)

Do we know yet if shooting is with R1 or R2?

So the game IS using RAGE?

No. these people just helped. Think consultants.

Friend got about 4 cases into the game. If you have any questions I can try to answer them the best I can.

Which platform? How does it look/run? Do cases/interrogations stop holding your hand at some point?

360. It runs pretty well. There was one part where it stuttered REALLY bad but that might be because his 360 is dying. It's already red-ringed once. :lol

And they seem to, but some people have REALLY obvious tells. Some don't. I guess like real-life. He messed up a few times. There seems to be a real snowball effect. You miss a clue early on, you miss out on a question. You miss the question, you can miss entire suspects. I have no idea if it actually makes a difference as to the outcome of the case, but it does a good job seeming like it does.

That's great to hear. I really want the game to punish you for missing something.

Hm... not sure. I tried 720p fullscreen but no luck. Maybe you can see it.

How far along is he?

 

[DrBo42]

I wonder if a case can become unsolved if you miss things or if it just forces you to restart it.

 

[Einbroch]

Uh,

Spoiler

homicide

I think?

Not really a spoiler, it's simply a promotion/position Cole has.

I saw him play for like 3 hours. I don't think he played too much before I went over, but he might have.

Good. So amazing. It's finally a game concept that actually seems to live up to its lofty aspirations.

I took this off the PS3 unboxing video. It looks like R2 is used for shooting.

 

[Shed_a_Ninja]

Does anyone know the replay value of this game? After finding out that there really isn't a difference between winging cases and completing them correctly, I'm a bit on the fence of buying this at full price.

 

[hlhbk]

Can someone who actually has the ps3 version and has seen the 360 version confirm that that pic is not legit? I have the PS3 version preordered but if it is not the best version technically I will change it.

way to spoil that shit. now people will be less enthused about completing cases correctly, ass

Yeah you know the 30 hours you'll be spending trying to do the cases the comprise the entire game? Guess it means shit what you actually do

Let me get back to you, apparently he's playing it again and redoing a case with an unsatisfying outcome.

I didn't spoil anything. It was in an article with Rockstar.

Sheesh.

 

[AgentOtaku]

Bah!

Oh well, as long as R2 only requires a light touch ala RDR (and not ALL THE WAY DOWN, like GTAIV), I'm fine with it.

Finding landmarks, vehicles, 5 starring cases, trophies/achievements, etc...

I hope that finally after three games in this gen they can let you switch R1/L1 and R2/L2. Please, it's so much better for shooting.

I am looking for it right now.

EDIT: Here it is-

"As you rise through the ranks, you earn Intuition points, which can be cashed in to eliminate one wrong question-tone (or reveal the location of all the clues at a location)."

"Luckily, LA Noire is pretty forgiving, so if your body language-assessment skills aren't up to CSI standards, you should still get the right result in the end, although you risk a chewing-out from your boss for shoddy police work, which is genuinely mortifying"

 

[duckroll]

Wait what? That can't be right, then what's the point?

Self-satisfaction? What's the difference between playing really well in an action game and getting a SSS rank for a level, and barely beating it and using tons of items and getting a D rank? You still make it to the next stage.

A story and comments relating to a game review have been taken down as we inadvertently breached an embargo by publishing the article. All will be restored when the story is out of embargo.

found this on lanoire forum. I wonder we can't run when you arm the weapons.
It's my guess but I don't think we can swap R1/R2 for shooting like RDR.
