L.A. Noire takes place in the seedy and violent underbelly of 1940’s Los Angeles as decorated veteran and newly minted detective, Cole Phelps investigates an escalating series of cases inspired by real-world crimes. Each successfully solved case brings Phelps greater success, but also brings him closer to the dark criminal heart of post-war L.A. The game was an Official Selection of the Tribeca Film Festival for its cinematic approach to gameplay and narrative. Utilizing a unique type of facial capture technology called Motion-Scan, L.A. Noire breathes unprecedented life into character performances, creating brand new game-play out of the art of interrogation.

The Official Announcement by Rockstar is as follows:

"Today, we're proud to announce new versions of the blockbuster detective thriller L.A. Noire, are scheduled to release on November 14, 2017 for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

Alongside these three new console versions, we're taking our first steps into virtual reality with L.A. Noire: The VR Case Files, featuring seven select cases from the original game rebuilt specifically for a virtual reality experience on the HTC VIVE.

Set against the seedy and violent underbelly of 1940’s Los Angeles, L.A. Noire is the story of decorated veteran and newly minted detective Cole Phelps as he investigates an escalating series of cases inspired by real-world crimes. Each successfully solved case brings Phelps greater success, but also brings him closer to the dark criminal heart of post-war L.A.

L.A. Noire: The VR Case Files for HTC Vive delivers seven of the original engrossing, self-contained cases from L.A. Noire rebuilt specifically for virtual reality, blending breathtaking action with true detective work to deliver an unprecedented interactive experience.

L.A. Noire for the Nintendo Switch features the complete original game and all additional downloadable content, with specific enhancements including a Joy-Con mode with gyroscopic, gesture-based controls, HD rumble and new wide and over-the-shoulder camera angles, plus contextual touch screen controls for portable detective work.

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."

I was so disappointed in LA Noire. I love Raymond Chandler and thought this game was going to be fantastic but it was rubbish (to me anyway, I know others enjoyed it.) Good sign though, would be great to get RDR or GTA on Switch.

I do wish the Switch focused more on a fixed console than being an hybrid. I like the Wii U design much better, but I expect Switch to survive longer too. Both beacause of strategy and branding.
My only beef with the Wii u is that I couldn't take the gamepad on the road with me to play with u games on the go. That would have been amazing.

I'm not so sure about that, based on the other reactions in this thread.

This is obviously fake enthusiasm for a game that's neither old nor new. It's been over six years since its original release. No one gives a crap, believe me. Have you actually read some of the messages?

Oh okay. Well, that would be a very smart move since the game isn't that old. Plus it might motivate actual owners of the game to buy another copy

I'm not buying another copy, that's for sure.

Motion controls!!! :wub::wub::wub:

Have you even played this before? Motion controls in L.A. Noire? That's ridiculous.

I was so disappointed in LA Noire.

This guy just wants GTA on the Switch.

If this does well then there's a possibility of gtaV or red dead redemption for the switch.

Guess what this guy wants.

CallmeBerto said:
anyways this is good news for the Switch, hopefully it sells well enjoy that other R* games come out on it like Bully or other GTA games.

I see a pattern emerging.

sarkwalvein said:
I don't think I will get it when it releases on Switch

This guy isn't buying it, either.

Axido said:
Not really caring about those console remasters and the Switch port.

I rest my case. The majority of people in this thread either have already played it or they think of it as a gateway to GTA on Switch. A gateway created by a massive success, which won't ever happen, because all of those cheering for GTA on Switch won't be getting the game. They hope it does well, but all they want is GTA.

tl;dr - NO ONE CARES

No one cares about L.A. Noire towards the end of 2017. If Nintendo wanted to appeal to a broader audience by being edgy and exciting, we'd be getting Whore of the Orient.

Yeah, positive reactions of countless other people definitely equates to "no one caring", gotcha. Thumbs up.

You obviously haven't read the quotes I posted. The general consensus is that people want this game to sell, so that they can finally unlock the achievement of seeing a "proper" GTA released on a Nintendo console. Keeping your fingers crossed for something related to the release of L.A. Noire that doesn't involve its purchase doesn't mean a thing. Sales on the other hand mean everything, but judging by massive GTA hard-ons all around, and a whole lot of wishful thinking, L.A. Noire doesn't stand a chance.

I care. Your argument is now invalid with your wording.

So...let me get this straight, based of what 10-20 people on an internet forum say, you assume that a game wont sell well. You genius!

At the end of the day, no one is forcing you to buy the game. So what is the fuss about?

These people that have "hard ons for a GTA on Nintendo" will end up with broken hard ons when the game sales are revealed right? so why do you care?

i mean your not buying LA Noire So why are you moaning?

Yes, it is true that game sales do hold a lot of meaning when it comes to other titles being released/ported but kmon based of what 20 people think, you assume that a game will flop?

Or you can cut the negativity and watch to see what happens before making unsubstantiated assumptions. Now there's an idea.

i mean your not buying LA Noire

I have already bought it, so no, I'm not buying it again.

Sales literally mean everything. Not a lot. Everything. It's all about money. Money from sales.

but kmon based of what 20 people think, you assume that a game will flop?

This is a forum with a heavy Nintendo bias, and even that doesn't help the attitude towards L.A. Noire, which I will remind you is: I won't be buying it, but I hope it does well, so that we can get a sub-par port of GTAV on Switch. I'm not saying the game will flop. I'm saying people don't care enough about L.A. Noire. They care about what good L.A. Noire sales can do for the future release of GTA. The game isn't holding up on its own merit.

Firstly i already said your not getting a LA noire since i saw you say before that you already owned it(so it was pointless bringing that up again). Secondly, Sales dont mean everything, Wanna dispute that look at Shenmue which was a commercial failure yet it got a 3rd entry and yeah sure that was through kickstarter BUT it happened! So sales dont mean everything! they mean ALOT but not everything. Not EVERY developer is a heartless EA like corporate bastard you now. And For the love of God, this is ROCKSTAR GAMES! they make money out of the A$$ you now... just stating a pristine fact!

Now regarding this statement you made:

which I will remind you is: I won't be buying it, but I hope it does well, so that we can get a sub-par port of GTAV on Switch. I'm not saying the game will flop. I'm saying people don't care enough about L.A. Noire. They care about what good L.A. Noire sales can do for the future release of GTA. The game isn't holding up on its own merit

So you essentially take the piss out of lots of users that want GTA on the switch and then you reveal that you too wanted GTA on the switch?

let me use YOUR words against you here: "Guess what this guy really wants"

Wait so the game WONT flop but it wont do good enough in terms of sales? HOW do you now this information exactly? (what year are you from?2018?2019?)


These people that say they "want a GTA on switch" will more than likely buy LA noire again and even if they dont, let me remind you these are 10-20 people. They DO NOT SPEAK FOR THE 5 million Switch users ACROSS the GLOBE!

Pardon me if a sound like a dick above. But look, like @the_randomizer said, just wait till next year and then say "i told you so"!

Oh and one more thing, wishful thinking is never a bad thing. It actually is a great quality to have, another name for wishful thinking is "hope".

I agree with Mariko on this.
I don't see an old game like this one going to get many sales on Switch, or any high expectation.
Some people will buy it for sure, but not a lot, you can't expect this to sell like a new game with a lot of advertisement.

Regarding the post of mine she quoted, it is quoted correctly, I am not dying to get this game though I might get it in the future because I didn't play it before. I expect most people won't even go that far.

I really believe people is more hopeful regarding this announcement because it means some kind of 3rd party support from Rockstar than for the game itself.

Anyway, let's celebrate this game is being released on Switch, it still is good news! (even though I don't think it will sell so well)
