Any others looking forward to this one? I think there are. I'm looking forward to it. I pre-bought it at Gamestop. I think I'm supposed to get an extra investigation for reserving it. Does anyone know if this game uses some of the same engine as Red Dead Redemption like Euphoria? Looks pretty cool none the less and the facial rendering looks to be well done. Probably going to be pretty creepy how life-like its going to be. I also look forward to playing it different ways and playing the investigation approaches from different angles to see what other outcomes can come of them.

I can't decide... been going back and forth on it... Sounds like a great idea and game, but I just don't see how the gameplay is anything but scripted... meaning gathering evidence, interviewing people, determining if they are lieing or not...etc etc... it just seems impossible to do... but hell, I waited on Rockstar's Red Dead Redemption, and thought that was one of the greatest ever... hence my back and forth... and then the 3 disk required for Xbox... I'm thinking PS3 here do to the blu-ray, but then also thinking about selling my PS3 and 3 exclusive games... only like 1 of them....decidions decisions...

I'm thinking with L.A. Noir... I might wait for a X-mas sale with all the add-ons to come out by then...

just can't decide dammit! lol

I know Magnum its tough sometimes and you want to save your hard earned cash for what you're pretty sure you'll like. I just enjoyed Red Dead Redemption so much that I'm looking forward to games that potentially uses some of the same ideas and game engine. Plus I think the investigative angle will be fun especially in the time period and world its set in. I suppose its really a role playing game in that you are specifically a 40s era detective working his way up from a traffic detective.

I can see downloadable content for something like this adding more gameplay which if its good, I'd be glad to add to my core game. I really, really, reaaaally wish they'd add more serious addons for Red Dead Redemption.

And three discs for the Xbox? Wow. Must be because its more or less an interactive movie or mini series I suppose.

I pre bought it at EB also. Traded in GT5 with 50% trade up, cost me $17. I also really liked RDR, but I also understand where Magnum is coming from with the story line. The time era seems cool to me, plus Rockstar knows how to make great games. I gambled on it, but with nothing really coming in the next few moths that appeals to me, I think it was a good one. Now if only the PSN would get back up so I can try SOCOM 4 Latest reports indicate May 31 (for everything to be up).

Yeah I'm really looking forward to this one and I pre-ordered it on Amazon since they had a $15 promotional credit on pre-orders with free release day delivery for prime.

I'm a late comer to RDR (and consoles) and so am smack in the middle of being in love with RDR, Rockstar did such a great job with the atmosphere of that game, LA Noire looks just as great and with another classic movie timeframe and atmosphere, I can't wait to play it.

I went with the PS3 version for the single Blueray and also because I heard it was supposedly the original platform that they started development on, but who knows which one will be better, RBR was apparently sharper on XB360, but I'm having a great time with it on PS3.

Definite day one purchase for me as well. Rockstar has put out some of the greatest games and this one doesn't look like it will be any different. Love the fact that it's just a different type of game. Getting tired of a lot of the same shooters. It's nice to have something fresh to play.

I heard the main reason there were three discs for the 360 was because of the space required for the new facial modeling technology. However, Rockstar assured that the breaks required to change discs occurred at appropriate times within the gameplay (such as at the end of a case being closed).

I'll be getting it fo the 360 myself, just because I want the cheevos (whore) and I figure the fact that I'll have to get up to change the discs will give me the excercise I've been needing

Really can't wait for this one!

I am on the fence about this. There has been a heck of a lot of hype about it and not many games stand up to it. As Magnum mentioned it just seems to be scripted events, along the lines of Heavy Rain.

Come on Mace. Jump off that fence and into the L.A. Noir backyard. 40s L.A., gunplay, driving, detective investigations, brand new facial rendering and such. Maybe be less free roam but who knows. Hopefully it'll be enjoyable.

I've decided to wait... but expect good opinions from you gamers...without ruining the story. I want to know how it all works,how it plays.
and then will pick it up on sale.

I'm in. I have a family vacation that I am going on in which I need to dutifully ignore my in laws. Sounds like a good way to do it.
