After oohing and aahing at the recent cut-scene footage of L.A. Noire – snippets of scenes showcasing Team Bondi’s sublime motion capturing technology – it’s time to get a look at the game in action.
Presented below, check out the first in-depth gameplay video for a look at how the game employs your “detective skills, intuition and cunning” to “make or break each case.”
Entitled “Orientation”, the motley array of in-game scenes depicting witness interrogation, fisticuffs and the game’s shooting mechanics all suggest another mega-hit on Rockstar’s hands.

The facial animation and motion capturing is truly incredible, beats Heavy Rain by a mile and that was impressive.
But the actual game looks so boring and feels like its just GTA (or Red Dead) with a Heavy Rain twist, and I actually found playing as the officer in HR the least fun part. So for me, its a no.
Come R* release something new, not just the same game with a new skin and a few new features added in. Other studios can differentiate between games, why cant you

suprsingly that my favourite part to Heavy Rain and i like the detactive feel to LA noire, also with the same look as GTA (also same type of shoting and action) and by the looks of it some amazing voice acting and facial animations.

Again, looks very special indeed but, I bet it’s all very drawn out. I think i’ll give it a go though… potential for a great story. Problem is, will I get bored before seeing it’s conclusion???

Ah, not a great time to lose my job, about 10 games I want this year, with this at the top alongside Res 3 and UC 3. Looked amazing.

Seriously impressive facial recognition tech right there! Wow.
Slightly off subject, but whatever happened to that PS3 / Rockstar exclusive, “Agent” ? Anybody know if that’s still in the works or has been cancelled or something?
