Can't Wait for L.A Noire!!!

[Invader]

I am looking forward to it. I heard that the team that made Red Dead Redemption is making it, but I haven't confirmed this.

RDR = R* San Diego

For your information, L.A. Noire was made by Team Bondi and Rockstar. Many of Rockstar employees, especially from Scotland, were sent to Australia to help developing the game.

that's a good gig, from the frozen North to sunny Oz.

I just read an interesting article about L.A. Noire. There's a quote like this:

"The game's crimes are inspired by real-life capers brought before the Los Angeles police."

I don't get it, what's the meaning of "brought before the Los Angeles police"? Anyone can tell me what is the meaning?

To bring something before a person--or group of people, in this case--means the same thing as presenting something to someone (e.g. a gift, a problem, a meal). It's a fancy way of saying that the game's crimes were based (loosely) on real crimes that the Los Angeles police had to solve.

So, if I read up on the history of the Los Angeles Police Department, I can finish L.A. Noire in a heartbeat? XD

Heh. Based on the videos released so far, I'm more inclined to think that knowledge of how to read microexpressions will help.

Can't wait for this one. Could this be Rockstars RDR, and once again win game of the year?

Can't wait to find out!

No, it could be Team Bondi's RDR though.

Wish it didn't come out so soon after the Duke though.

@ 0:07, see the sign for Boo Brothers Cafeteria? Makes me think Scooby Doo.

I've just found that Boos Brothers is a real cafeteria. The first big cafeteria chain in LA and a precursor to Clifton's

Hey there, moved your post over to the overarching Noire thread.

To hear Take-Two describe it -- "L.A. Noire has been honored as an Official Selection at the 2011 Tribeca Film Festival [...] the first time ever that a video game has been recognized by the festival" -- you'd think that Rockstar's latest production was a small-budget longshot, competing for necessary distinction amid the eclectic slate of films that will be screened during De Niro and company's annual gathering of international movie makers and moviegoers in the lower Manhattan neighborhood.

Instead, the Team Bondi-developed "cinema-videogame hybrid," as Tribeca Film puts it, will be more of a sideshow -- though no less prestigious. As part of the "Tribeca Talks" special events series, L.A. Noire will be the subject of a one-night-only gameplay demonstration and discussion, featuring Rockstar representatives.

The event will be moderated by Tribeca Enterprises COO Geoff Gilmore, who sounds particularly excited about the film festival's latest discovery. "It's an invention of a new realm of storytelling that is part cinema, part gaming, and a whole new realm of narrative expression, interactivity, and immersion," he heralded in an announcement. "We are poised on the edge of a new frontier." Don't worry, Gilmore, it's safe to step on in -- the games industry has actually been settling this very frontier for decades.

The L.A. Noire event is scheduled for 5:30PM on Monday, April 25 at one of the School of Visual Arts theaters (an official festival venue; though not located in Tribeca). An hour has been set aside for the "live interactive screening" of one of the game's detective cases, plus an additional 45 minutes or so for the Q&A conversation. Tickets will be priced at $25 per attendee (some discounts available) and go on sale to the general public on April 18.

It's nice to see videogames getting recognition for something they've already been doing for the past 20 years.
