Games L.A. Noire - Leaked First 14 Minutes

[Starman]

So Friday the Guardian posted a review of L.A. Noire which was very quickly pulled due to an embargo but you can find a cached copy here.

Today we have someone originally posting on YouTube which was removed the first 14 minutes of gameplay from what I believe is the PS3 version.

Thankfully someone mirrored it - LA Noire First Gameplay | JungleGamer

"Leaked" you mean

It's becoming blatantly obvious that these are really rather nice PR stunts.

No freddy, it's not "page ranking" stunts

 

[Starman]

Who knows if its PR or not still I was already going to buy it so its done nothing for me

 

[Shagrat]

like the look of that.

 

[Chronictank]

reminds me a bit of heavy rain hehe

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Lots of talking, little shooting/fighting - will probably give it a miss.

giantbomb on xbox vs ps3

For those contemplating which version to get Giant Bomb wrote the following in their review, "Having spent a lot of time with both versions of L.A. Noire, the PlayStation 3 game is the clear-cut winner. Both versions of the game look fantastic, but there were a few instances of painful frame rate drops and objects drawing in too slowly on the Xbox that didn't exist on the PS3. Also, the shadows look a bit more jagged. This is splitting hairs since, both games look good enough that you should just get the one on the platform you prefer, though the PS3 also has the added benefit of being on a single disc to the Xbox's three, and includes an exclusive downloadable case (which I didn't get to try, and you probably won't be able to play either until the PlayStation Store is back online)."

My copy just arrived.

 

[Yaka]

mine arrived yesturday but atm enjoying playing brink with old clan buddies so might hold off

 

[Billargh]

So how many of you have played this game yet? Been playing it a fair bit since it came out, trying to take my time though, loving it so far I'm assuming you do anyway Starmie, since that's all you seem to be playing lately, and frequently

 

[Yaka]

not had the chance to install it yet, work sux

 

[Roo Stercogburn]

Work colleagues saying its great, not played it myself yet.

 

[Turamber]

Play.com tell me they posted it to me last Tuesday, still not received it. Unimpressed.

 

[Yaka]

play send stuff out 2nd class some times and most of the times things go missing takes fucking months for a refund . ive preety much stopped using them now

 

[Turamber]

Really Yaka? I'll probably not bother with them in future then.

My copy finally turned up yesterday. I like the look of the game and the idea of the game but it does have some big flaws. On my very first mission (after the introduction) I fell through a hole in the world and had to restart.

Plus I'm not convinced that the detective part of the game works, or will work, very well. Trying to tell if a character is lying from the way they are animated is a bit lame tbh.

 

[Billargh]

It does seem a bit hit and miss, generally though if they keep breaking eye contact even after they finish speaking, they're probably lying. Hopefully you'll have something to prove it, if not, doubt works wonders.

 

[Chronictank]

I will be honest, i am getting a little bored of it :/
Maybe i will put it down and try again later

 

[Turamber]

Yeah, it isn't all that. I will play on a bit here and there to follow the storyline but as a game .... Zzzz. Heavy Rain 2.

 

[Yaka]

not sure if anyones bothered bothered but LA noire novels are free on online bookstores like stanza/ibooks/amazon kindle

 

[Billargh]

Well I finished it the other day, bloody loved it. Some missions did drag on a bit and seemed like unnecessary padding just to lengthen the game, but had it not been for them the twists wouldn't have been so strong.

 

[cHodAX]

Gonna give this a go when I get some time off work, hearing good things.

 

[Yaka]

peh this or infamous 2 which got delivered today. i hate it when i end up piling up games to play later on

 

[Billargh]

Definitely this, get to it man!

 

[Turamber]

Loved the first Infamous - how does the second one play? I've not picked up LA Noire to play since I wrote my previous comment on this thread, really not my cup of tea sadly ^

 

[Yaka]

not pld the first one since i lent to a firend and he lost the disc, i dont think i had much longer to finish it. so gonna play the freebie off psn first. tho tempted to play la noire thru first.

damn shame i dont time to play thru games like a few years ago. hate stacking games.:/

 

[Turamber]

Part exchanged mine to the local videogame shop. Couldn't feel any pull to play it after my initial session so picked up something much more fun - "Brink".

 

[Ch3tan]

Anyone think it's worth buying this on PC with all the dlc included? It's £35 quid though, could just get the ps3 or xbrick version for £18.

 

[Moriath]

Thought u weren't buying any more xbrick games after gears three hehe .. I got this on pc just cause I prefer gaming on it ... Otherwise I don't think there is any difference . Good game so far tho
