You can spend Intuition points to check which interview options other people playing the game have chosen, broken down by percentages. Ever watch Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? It's like the "Ask the Audience" lifeline.

Sorry. When you open the notebook, you can use an Intuition Point it looks like, to ask the online community how they responded to a person of interest's testimony. I am not playing the game -- going from that Kotaku video. It seems like a video game take on polling the audience on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.

Edit: Lol. Damn iPad slows my typing down.

It is seriously freaky how similar your responses are.

Wow. haha

 

[Evlar]

You'll all come around, eventually.

Great preview. What's the game length like, in your opinion? We've heard from a low of 15 to a high of 30.

 

[woodsey1982]

I am both watchin' faces AND solving cases right now....

Fap fap fap!!

Neat. I'm hoping to see more games incorporate these types of features. Very Demon's Souls'ish.

Ha ha. Come to think of it, I think using Intuition Points cuts down the amount of responses to get closer to the correct one, just like Millionaire's 50/50 option.

New clothes for Cole? Waist coat sans jacket?

Is this DLC or do they allow you to change your clothes like Mafia II?

 

[HTuran]

Feel pretty bad for Team Bondi right now. I've hardly seen them mentioned.

From what I've seen there's definitely an outfit selecting feature in place.

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?

 

[SeanR1221]

Feel pretty bad for Team Bondi right now. I've hardly seen them mentioned.

I don't. They probably love having R* backing them.

 

[Gary Whitta]

Ha, intuition feature sounds really cool, very original way to make use of online connectivity.

 

[Chanser]

Don't you need the PSN store to download the exclusive case?

 

[AgentChris]

Don't you need the PSN store to download the exclusive case?

It should be on disc, I think. Blu-ray and all.

Awesome

Here is a real comparison video between 360 and PS3.



SPOILERS!!!

http://www.gamesradar.com/ps3/la-no...2011051693529489014/g-2006092512588826087/p-3

Both versions look great.

 

[Interfectum]

Feel pretty bad for Team Bondi right now. I've hardly seen them mentioned.

You still going to feel bad for them while they are swimming in LA Noire profits?

 

[The Lamp]

I have a feeling amir0x might be a little disappointed.

Wasn't he loving the idea of the game not holding your hand the entire time?

Well, the crime scene and interrogation stuff does sound challenging, but it seems like the game guides you through everything else to get there.

Who cares? Amir0x is disappointed by almost everything.

The Kotaku video was great. Probably because Totilo wrote that article (the only sane, professional "journalist" on that blog besides maybe Crecente).

Are there any side-things to do in this game besides cases? Go to a jazz club or something? I don't know.

 

[LQX]

Feel pretty bad for Team Bondi right now. I've hardly seen them mentioned.

But it is nothing new. It has been normal for many years to associate a game with its publisher or on this case a stronger brand which is Rockstar. Only reason its now a issue is because of the thread title and the fact some are making it an issue for some reason. I bet Team Bondi would rather there game sell well than name recognition.

 

[VeryGooster]

Feel pretty bad for Team Bondi right now. I've hardly seen them mentioned.

They worked for years on what can now be deemed a critically acclaimed game, with the Rockstar Games brand that will more than likely drive very good sales. I don't think they're moping about the lack of mention.

 

[Goldrusher]

Don't you need the PSN store to download the exclusive case?

pre-order cases (& other stuff): yes
PS3-exclusive case: no

 

[TouchMyBox]

So I'm buying this thing for PS3?

 

[lucius]

So glad this turned out good I was worried with the Getaway and all.

 

[acm2000]

anything I need to know about the ps3/360 differences?

360 720p 2xAA>ps3 720p 0xAA (from b3d)
ps3 1 disc>360 3 discs
360 higher contrast lighting>ps3 lower contrast lighting (from comparison video)

will have to wait for EG faceoff for more details ie framerate and tearing, looks very close tho.

 

[levious]

So I'm buying this thing for PS3?

we don't know

 

[cackhyena]

This whole comparison thing is just so fucking sad.

 

[CitizenCope]

Why am I keeping my 360 pre-order? I just can't put my finger on it. For whatever reason, I just don't want to play on the PS3.

Same here. Have both systems but I buy all my multiplat on 360.
Controller, Achievements, more connected to friends. I understand I'll be playing the inferior version. Oh well. =/

 

[hlhbk]

Both versions look great.

I still can't tell which version looks better. Is it just me or does the PS3 version look washed out compared to the 360 version?

 

[acm2000]

This whole comparison thing is just so fucking sad.

if you have both consoles, you buy the best version, why is that hard to understand

 

[Hyunkel6]

Anyone know if there are subtitles in the game?

 

[VeryGooster]

So I'm buying this thing for PS3?

Going with the Sega Genesis version. BLAST PROCESSING.

 

[K' Dash]

Anyone know if there are subtitles in the game?

Yes.

 

[Interfectum]

Mode 7 > Blast Processing

Enjoy your inferior version.

 

[cackhyena]

It's easy to understand, for some. It's been made apparent that the game looks close enough for the most part that this AA, darker v lighter shadows bullshit is nothing but laughable. Controller preference and disc swapping should be the only things you would think sway a decision at this point. You would think.

 

[polyh3dron]

This whole comparison thing is just so fucking sad.

Some people have both consoles (crazy idea, I know) and want to make sure they get the absolute best version, even if the differences are miniscule. I am one of those people.

 

[rhino4evr]

Don't...they will be consider big league after this game. Everyone will want to know what they are doing next...

Spoiler

LA Noire 2

 

[BeeDog]

360 720p 2xAA>ps3 720p 0xAA (from b3d)
ps3 1 disc>360 3 discs
360 higher contrast lighting>ps3 lower contrast lighting (from comparison video)

Wrong, both are 720p2xAA:

Yeah, I'm one of them. Chose PS3 because of the disc swapping thing. Not because there's lighter shadows here and there. three quarters through the game and you'll have forgotten about how the other consoles shadows are 2/10's darker. C'mon.

 

[dwebo]

pre-order cases (& other stuff): yes
PS3-exclusive case: no

PS3-exclusive case is a PSN download code in the box, at least going by the unboxing vid from a few days ago. Is the store even up yet?

I won't forget about it. I want the absolute best version technically.

What about things like resolution, AA, framerate and v-sync? Those are all important to me and I want the version that offers the best of those. I will wait for a proper DF comparison, but I won't go buy a technically inferior game, ever.

 

[AgentChris]

Am I the only one that actually like The Getaway?

I liked it. Hopefully SCE London can make Getaway for PS3.

 

[The Albatross]

Feel pretty bad for Team Bondi right now. I've hardly seen them mentioned.

The game probably never would have been finished without R* money and name cred behind it. I mean, how often is Tiburon ever really credited or decried when Madden is published each year?

 

[LProtag]

Honestly when I'm playing a moving game and I'm involved in the interaction... I don't really notice all these little nitpicky details you all are discussing.

It's not like the differences in PS3 and 360 games are as large as Bluray and DVD.

 

[dreamfall]

Am I the only one that actually like The Getaway?

I definitely really liked it- at the time, it provided an alternative to Rockstar's open world idea. I must say though, some of those driving sequences were mad difficult.

 

[Interfectum]

The debates have already been settled. People are just spewing the same stuff and arguing in circles at this point.

Do you want the version that has an exclusive case, a single disc and is seemingly has a slight graphical advantage? Get the PS3 version.

Do you want achievements, be more "socially connected" to your XBL friends, and prefer using the 360 controller? Get the 360 version.

From what has been gathered by comparisons and most review sites is that while the PS3 has an advantage graphically it still boils down to your console of preference.

 

[spiderman123]

Comparison to previous R* games?

What does "socially connected" have to do with this game? Isn't it single-player?

Comparison to previous R* games?

Do we have to put this game in a box because it borrows assets from other games? Why can't some people just let it stand on its own?

I get bothered when people like to restrict game design to [other games in] genre. I have friends who won't play Left 4 Dead just because it doesn't let you use iron-sights like Call of Duty...even though iron-sights are completely unnecessary for the kind of game L4D is.

Haven't several places already said the PS3 version wins out for the most part in those cases? They probably aren't far off, if they weren't thorough enough the first time around, I would assume. I certainly don't see it swinging wildly the other way in any case. Say it ends up evening out. Still comes down to controller and disc swapping preferences, I guess. I'm not saying it's not smart to wait, just sick of the talk, more so.
