Awesome. Looks like I get to play through my fave TV show: Law & Order :p
Which series? Smells more like CI than the original, with a dash of Lie to Me for flavor...
L.A. Noire: 1950s Law and Order: LA.

Well - the first half of each episode of the original at least. :p

But yeah - definitely more like CI. I was hoping one of the desks would be SVU :p

On a more serious note - it would be a nice touch if R* and Team Bondi threw in some mention to the legal proceedings and prosecution; for example if you went about collecting evidence incorrectly it might get you a suspect that's a dead cert, but not a conviction.

I know so little about this game and this trailer shows nothing, but I AM SO PUMPED!!!! It looks crazy awesome in a Red Dead way of a period piece in video game form. I just hope running isn't tapping X again for god's sake.

I doubt it. LA cops were notorious for corruption and questionable methodology. Technicalities barely registered a blip in terms of collecting evidence until the US Supreme Court started to hit improper evidence harder in the late-sixties and seventies (if my recollection is accurate, that is).

Expect LA Noire to have some interesting opportunities to investigate.

Ok... i might be nitpicking, the faces look amazing, but i couldnt get the feeling that they were disjointed from the bodies... i mean, the hat, the clothes, they look soo... simple, and yet the faces look real... i mean, amazing details

i dont know, at first glance i was "woah!, amazing!" and then the movements of the body and such, it looked like the "head" was floating on top of a cut-out or something

maybe thats just me... its an amazing achievement in the world of Videogames and motion capture as a whole, but i dont think its quite there yet.

All these trailers still aren't doing enough to convince me the gameplay and the mechanics will work well. Still having a hard time seeing film noir something like a game. People could try to make "Maltese Falcon" game, but I doubt it would really capture the elements of noir that really make me want to watch them.
There is a Blade Runner game, which is fairly good. It's perhaps a little too close to the movie (it seems as if the protagonist spends the whole time visiting everywhere Deckard had been), but its numerous endings and setting is effective. Shame you don't actually do a whole lot of proper puzzle solving.

I agree. The faces look like an image projected onto a mannequin's head. But then again, so does Edward Miliband.

Maybe it's because I'm drunk, and I've been playing an old game with crappy graphics lately, but damn the lip-sync animations look great!

Too bad it's not coming out for the PC :(
What? ah.. shit.
Rockstar went all out on this game's facial animations as a whole. They had some videos out, and it was amazingly impressive.


I never liked the GTA series, but with RDR, and this, I may be a convert.
That looks awesome. It does look a bit odd, how the faces sit on the models, but it's definitely some very impressive tech.

I'm looking forward to this game more and more...

I think I'll wait for a while and hold my thumbs that they'll release this for PC later on. Console games are so darn expensive and usually takes ages to drop in price >.< So I'll save money by waiting anyway.

The voice acting and facial animations are kinda coo, but look odd to me...

If you want to see brilliant voice/acting animation take a look at how starbreeze did it with Dark Athena, a game that's already 3 years old now, and completely overshadowed by crappy games. Dark Athenas voice acting and animations look 100 times better than what I've seen from Noir.
