I wonder what are those video-faces going to look like in "stunning" 4K

Interesting that they're bringing this IP back for some reason. p.s. it's not a good game.

I'm guessing much like frame rate it'll have to be capped to the resolution of the faces.

 

[Welfare]

Oh yes! Glad the rumors were true.

 

[MetalliCabombination]

I would've bought rdr for both ps4 and switch dammit.... Pls.

 

[Chesskid1]

never played it but i just watched the mark brown detective game design video so i'm in.

 

[maxxpower]

Was hoping for more funny faces gifs.

 

[PLASTICA-MAN]

These improvements won't come to Steam version too?

 

[Realeza]

I found LA Noire to be really interesting. I'd rather have GTAV, but this is a cool game for those who haven't played it.

 

[Bedameister]

Yup this is the Rockstar next-gen remaster everybody wanted

Yup

Yes it is. I'm freakin hyped about this

 

[Gotdatmoney]

Looking like its mostly a port with joycon support added while the other versions are remasters.

If there arent any graphical improvements I would pass. Game isn't good enough for a plain port.

 

[Ridley327]

Oh yeah, I do wonder how this is shipping out on Switch in terms of storage. I think the Complete Edition was just under 34GB total on the PS3, and while I'm sure that compression can knock that down to under 32GB these days, I don't think it's going to get drastically smaller than that.

I'm actually more curious about how this is being remastered on PS4 and XB1. As I understood, the original Face Scan materials were done at 720p, so unless there's a 1080p source available that hasn't been known about until now, they're going to have to come up with some kind of fancy upscaling algorithm to make them look better when upscaled, especially as this is promising 4K support.

 

[mavericktopgun]

So it's gta5 next to switch?

Please!!!!!

 

[mindatlarge]

Didn't see this coming despite the rumors, but I'm pleasantly surprised. Hopefully it paves the way for other Rockstar games to be remastered, like Bully.

L.A. Noire plays in 4K on Xbox One X

 

[newtypepilot]

VR version sounds interesting, although I'm pretty sure they won't remake any of the cases from homicide desk due to obvious reasons.

 

[Kresnik258]

It's nice to see a Rockstar game coming to Switch but damn, this is like the least appealing title they could have picked for me.

 

[Yautja_Warrior]

VR only on Vive right now is a bummer. I love the game but won't be picking it up unless the VR missions come to PSVR.

Guess it will be timed exclusive, like a lot of VR games seem to be these days, so fingers crossed it comes to PSVR later.

 

[Skittzo0413]

This was a pretty poorly kept secret, but glad it's finally announced.

Rockstar working on a game for a Nintendo console, we've truly returned to the Wii/DS era.

L.A. Noire plays in 4K on Xbox One X

Nice!! Can we expect a PS4 Pro update as well? I'd go with 60fps any day.

Edit: OP says 4K for PS4Pro. Nice.

 

[papertoonz]

What do you mean it's a mess? I need context.

RDR was a development mess and it's kinda a miracle the game came out the way it did

like that's the main reason the game never saw a PC release and more than likely that we will never see a port of it on any other system

 

[Boke1879]

Never played this. Will pick up

 

[Blam]

VR version sounds interesting, although I'm pretty sure they won't remake any of the cases from homicide desk due to obvious reasons.

You never know they might.

What do you mean it's a mess? I need context.

It was actual spaghetti code. They didn't document anything, and it was a complete mess. The game shouldn't have even worked on the 2 systems it came out for. It was also mentioned by Rockstar that they would actually have to recreate the entire game to even think about porting it.

 

[Shin]

PSVR got robbed considering the game probably sold more on consoles as well.
But great news all-around since I never finished it on PS3 so will gladly buy it on PS4.

 

[Prithee Be Careful]

The good news is that the complete edition on PS3 is only 12.3GB, meaning there's a reasonable chance - for the Switch version - the whole thing will fit on the cartridge.

 

[Keinning]

guess BC aint happening then, sigh

there i go, buying LA Noire yet again
but its worth it, time to finally finish the DLC cases

 

[atr0cious]

If you haven't played the game, don't go in expecting a noir tinged gta. This is a high concept high budget indie game with an open world attached to it. The best part of the game is having your ai partner drive you to each location which really makes you feel like a hot shot detective. The interrogation loop can get muddled, but the game goes for it admirably. At it's best, it's the video game companion to LA confidential.

 

[Zombie James]

I liked L.A. Noire. Slightly optimistic but I'll have to see what they've done to it.

 

[J_Viper]

This is...unexpected

Max Payne 3 next please

 

[BobbyColtrane]

Never bought the original, it didnt seem interesting to me.

I don't really want this but I'm going to buy it anyway bc SWITCH SUPPORT.

 

[BigPete]

Nintendo Switch you say? Aw shit! Let's get that Chinatown Wars 2 going next!

I love Chinatown Wars. This would be really cool IMO.

 

[AuthenticM]

I'm not sure I want to replay this. The gameplay was kind of boring?

I'd prefer a remaster of the GTA III trilogy.

 

[Patrick Young]

No thanks. I strongly disliked it the first time. Why does everyone lie to you during every interrogation?

I also remember some item being a clue near the end that was difficult to find because the same model was in every other crime scene and throughout the game itself. Magically this one was special and the player was expected to know.

 

[Dirtyshubb]

Let's hope they fixed all the glitches, only game I have ever had to stop because of the constant crashes and eventual game breaking glitch.

 

[LordOfLore]

Nice!! Can we expect a PS4 Pro update as well? I'd go with 60fps any day.

Says 4K for Pro and X in the PR.

 

[mclem]

Intrigued, very much so. I played the game way back on PS3 but never moved on from the first desk; really liked it, but sort of moved away from what it was offering and never came back. Having the game on the move, a'la Phoenix Wright? That could easily hold my attention.

Hope it's a decent port.

 

[ItIsOkBro]

These improvements won't come to Steam version too?

 

[CarlisleDavid1979]

Loved the original. Day one on this.

 

[Acquiescence]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEES! I'm in. One of my favourite games of last gen. Hopefully this means there's a sequel in the works as well.

L.A. Noire plays in 4K on Xbox One X

It's in the OP

L.A. Noire plays natively in 1080p for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles, and stunning 4K for PlayStation 4 Pro and Xbox One X, capturing the grit and grime of the City of Angels like never before.

4K on PS4 Pro and XBox One X.

Not even 1080p on Switch...yikes.

 

[Vashetti]

Is this why RDR2 has been delayed?

Of course because it's impossible for devs to have multiple teams.

 

[Jb]

I think it's really interesting that it's coming for the Switch.
Maybe a sign that they'll also release some of their other 360 era titles later on.

 

[Thatanas]

I like how they include Nintendo Switch, even though it won't have the same graphical 'standard'. I hope it sells well enough to send a signal that games will be bought, even if the graphics are lesser in comparison to other versions.

 

[theclosetfan]

I adore this game. Day one on Switch.

 

[The Last Wizard]

Why couldn’t it have been the GTA IV collection so I could finally put my PS3 to rest😩

 

[Litri]

Picking up Switch version.

 

[Widge]

Nice!! Can we expect a PS4 Pro update as well? I'd go with 60fps any day.

Edit: OP says 4K for PS4Pro. Nice.

I have a little niggle at the back of my mind that makes me wonder if these sorts of statements mean native or checkerboard.

 

[Trago]

It's in the OP



4K on PS4 Pro and XBox One X.

Not even 1080p on Switch...yikes.

If it's 720p in handheld mode, I'm good.

 

[JBourne]

I thought L.A. Noire on the Switch was a really far-fetched rumor. Very surprised by this.

 

[mclem]

Depends on the level of remastering, but do bear in mind the original was PS3/360, and the Switch should easily be capable of that.

 

[uncleniccius]

How could they do this and not Red Dead.

Very confusing Rockstar.

 

[Colbert]

Nice!! Can we expect a PS4 Pro update as well? I'd go with 60fps any day.

From Rockstar Website:

L.A. Noire for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One delivers the complete original game and all additional downloadable content with a range of technical enhancements for greater visual fidelity and authenticity, including enhanced lighting and clouds, new cinematic camera angles, high resolution textures and more. Plays natively in 1080p for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles, and stunning 4K for PlayStation 4 Pro and Xbox One X, these versions capture the grit and grime of the City of Angels like never before.
