    geez, they could have at least answered the question in character...

    "I sat back in chair, watched the rain fall against the windows of my decrepit little office and pondered the question.

    Sure the fans demanded an answer, but aren't we all just looking for answers?

    I came to this town with dreams of making it big, of being somebody, of tackling everything that was wrong with the gaming industry. Now I'm just a beat down has-been, with a development schedule that would make 3D Realms jealous.

    I want to stand in the middle of Mullholland and yell out a release date, but nobody would listen anyway. There's no talent, or patience in this town for the empty promises that spew out of my mouth like cheap bourbon that went down the wrong tube.

    So what else can I say. It's going like work like this always goes, but I have to keep my chin up. Put on a false air of optimism. Suck it up for the money men that run this show.

    Splendid. It is coming along splendidly."

    @Johnny: "I can't decide what flies thicker in this town, the accusations or the thieves.

    I'm no schill, no rat, no errand boy for the business. I'm nobody's man, but everyone feels like they own me.

    I try to make an honest buck, but I don't think I can anymore. Every dollar has a string attached to it, every string pulled by someone who has their own angle. Open your mouth and someone tries to stuff cash down it. Spit it out, and they shove in dirt instead.

    But I've got my own angle. An angle that is going to shake this town to it's rotted, termite infested foundations."

    @sqlrob: No. Agent is an open-world Cold War espionage game designed by the Houser brothers and Rockstar North. It was announced at Sony's E3 press conference this year.

    You're thinking of The Agency, which is an Sony Online MMORPG shooter.

    LA Noire has only been announced for PS3 so far, but they've never officially called it an exclusive, and I think even Jack Tretton himself said it was multiplatform.

    The Agency = Sony Online Entertainment MMORPG. It's not out yet.

    Agent = Rockstar North's new PS3-exclusive cold war sim. It's not out yet either.

    @Covenant: Probably simultaneous release. We now know Agent is the Rockstar PS3 exclusive, so it's very unlikely that LA Noire is going to NOT be multiplatform.

    Hell, that's probably why it's taking so long.

    The worrying part is that if they started on this game before 2006, by now, what they've built the game upon is likely outdated and outclassed by current games.

    So I expect that they've either started from scratch recently, which means an even longer wait, or a shoddy, but inspired game that gets ignored in winter 2010.

    With Max Payne being brutally torn out of the noir genre and shoved into "generic shooter" territory, it'll be nice to have a new noir game on the market. I'm interested in this one and Agent. Hope they both kick ass.

    I love me some detective story! Hopefully this is good. Take -Two needs another profitable franchise other than GTA...


    The problem is detective games are not that popular among the masses. Unless they make this a shooter. By which, the element of the game will of course be lost.


    I would want a mystery/story driven game though. It would be cool if you could even determine who the killer is via the game itself and guessing wrong would merit penalties or whatnot...

    Film noir was born in LA with Double Indemnity and The Big Sleep. Though to me, location is of secondary importance to the actual story and music.

    @Agent-Foiliage: Especially given the fact that, according to what little we've seen and heard, they really want to give that detective game the full treatment; which is to say they really want to make the environment 'feel' like a fit with the premise.


    Everything from the semi-grainy, sometimes black-and-white to the detailed period specific clothing, vehicles, and objects... that's about 1/3 of a good detective game right there! The only things left to really, fully immerse you in the world is a fascinating story and interesting gameplay.
