I thought I'd heard the last of LA Noire. I wonder if there's a sequel planned or something.

yep as i already asked...pls close this.
I mean I have the PC version, which I would assume trumps all visibly, but playing it on the go trumps graphical wizardry for me. All eye of the beholder stuff though.

Yep NateDrake has been right on the money so many times and I'm glad this panned out. Sad few took him seriously.

I imagine there will be some sort of upgrades but nothing like what PS4 and Xbox 1 get. I nean, the Switch in portable mode is still a good deal above last gen. If it's a pure untouched port that wouldn't interest me. I have a PS3 already.

So they are against a remaster of RDR but ok with LA Noir? The mind boggles...
Nintendo: Hi Rockstar, buddy, how's it going? Can we get GTA on Switch?
Rockstar: No.
Nintendo: Ok. Can we have something else for Switch?
Rockstar: There's an L.A. Noir re-release coming up. You want in?
Nintendo: Sure....
I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo even paid some of the development costs. Otherwise it doesn't really make much sense for Rockstar to port this on Switch. Not before we knew how successful Switch would be anyway.

what exactly? 4 new versions ... that's what we're getting. the game has been ported to these new platforms so they are new versions.

This. The original game came on 3 Xbox 360 DVDs.

I'm one of the few that loved this game, even though it was flawed. Definitely getting this for the Switch. COLE PHELPS, FBI! I'M COMANDEERING YOU'RE VEHICLE, MAAM.
[edit] So this means, they must be considering a sequel right, if this sells well? Ace.

Cause they invested a lot of money into L.A Noire and it sold pretty bad.
I have the pc version, so visual fidelity means nothing to me. Having gesture controls and possibly fleshed out hd rumble adds more to the game than a few more frames or polygons. It's why the re4 wii edition is the superior version.

Hard to believe they put time and effort into this when it had a PC port. RDR would have done awesome as a remastered edition right before the RDR2 release. I would have bought it again and I even replayed the X1 BC.

This game bored me to madness, but will the PS4 get the VR Cases? I'm mildly interested in that.
I will have to have another check. I couldn't get it to go past the Rockstar login thing. I remember the community was saying at the time it was broken and there was a ballache-y workaround. Memory recall might be vague on this front though.

Not for me but know a few friends who will enjoy the detective series de of the game. Will probably be asked to do the more action focused segments of the game.

So weird.
LA Noire is easily Rockstar's worst game from the last 10 years. I know they didn't develop it for most of the project and they sort of rescued it from being cancelled, but it just wasn't a good game at all. I get releasing it originally, but putting any development time into it for re-release seems odd.
I wonder if investors were begging Take2 for some Rockstar release this fall/Holiday given the RDR2 delay and that GTAV DLC was cancelled, and so this was a bone they're throwing for stakeholders to hold them off for another 6 months before RDR2.
*edit*
And now we've got three threads about this.

Well that was out of left field...I was expecting the next thing they announced this summer was more news on RDR2.
I've been wanting to replay through the game recently. I will just pick this up instead.
Dat Rockstar double dip.

This too. This is probably a good way to get their full investment back on this + test things on Switch without fucking it up on one of their big franchises

Rockstar wth??? Why not GTA 5 and/or 4 or RDR for Switch? 
Red Dead is a mess of code apparently

So is this Rockstars test aka Capcom test for the Switch to get GTAV or other Rockstar games lol? I'd rather get Red Dead Redemption over L.A. Noire. It was a very boring game.
I don't think it's a test.

I too was thinking about this. I actually looked at the box today and was thinking that I need to go back and play it. It's a really good game. The city and animations looks great. There isn't a lot to do when going around the city but it apparently is an accurate representation of the city. the cases are fun and overall will be a great release for the Switch: a realistic, gritty police action game. There really isn't another game like it on any platform. Everyone should give it a chance.
