L.A. Noire, which first launched for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC in 2011, is coming to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and HTC Vive on November 14, publisher Rockstar Games announced.
​

​

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."​

love it when nintendo fanboys defend nintendo when they claim it gets the best games, and im like erm how, it never gets the titles the other systems get, and they then counter like why do we need this game if its also on the other systems.

and here, when news comes that its getting a game that is over 6 years old the fanboys get excited..... erm but how about we get the choice to play the game when it was new, not years later.

and hence why i dislike nintendo, it never has the option to buy said game when its new, its then ported many years later...... hmmm i already own it on the ps3 so what incentive is there to buy it again and pay more to play it again.

sorry but just because the switch is portable does not justify it getting very old games ported.

however if it was something new, today example the likes of RE7 when it came out then yea maybe, but this console is proving to not improve the support it gets, its just a port whore and yes i also point at gear club..... a game that is free on ios, yet nintendo are getting a port.... why the heck pay for something you get for free on mobile devices.

i can bet once nintendo stop keeping its supply short and demand has been met, it will soon be a silent whisper.

ohhh and before the fanboys try defend.... yes i think it also sucks that theyre porting a "HD" remake to the PS4 when its not going to be a remake, but also if you then try other ports again same logic, but the PS4/XBX1 have far more games to play that are not ports, that are not indy app crap, thats not free mobile apps ported but you have to pay for..

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------


its a shame that the support it is getting is games that nintendo failed to get first time round.

whats so impressive that in 2017 nintendo are getting a game that was released in 2011.....

i already own the game on the ps3 and if i didnt would be able to get it for aprox £7.... why the fuck would i pay near £40-£50, lets not also add £290 for the console (if i didnt own it).

Better late than never. Then don't effing get it on the Switch then.

 

[Spider_Man]

Better late than never. Then don't effing get it on the Switch then.

dont worry i wont be, its not like its going to offer anything new, claims are that its not going to be a "remaster" like the PS4/XBX1, its going to be an inferior port of the PS3/360 version.

so its again proving that the switch is nintendo's 2nd next gen system during the same generation and its unable to offer games equal to that the PS4/XBX1 are getting.

this will be another system only its fans will be devoted to (as they are loyal fans).

dont get me wrong, if this was the system they released insted of that fuckfest (wii u) and it had this game at the same time as the PS3/360 then yes it would have been a game i would buy on the switch..... but i see no sense in paying more for a game that was released 2 generations ago.

I don't care really much for this game since i founded incredibly boring but is a good sign for the Nintendo Switch becouse...if at the time of the Wii you have told me that in the future we are gonna get a Rockstar game on a Nintendo console will probably never belive you.
Hopfully this is a good sign for things to come in the future, i don't care about THIS game but if they port the first red dead redempion i will gladly give to Rockstar my money.

something you may not notice when it comes to nintendo and third party support is that third parties test the waters first.

nintendo brag that its keeping to its promise of having better third party support, but its nintendo that cause this problem.

anyway, what third parties do is release a title that wont cost much, either a basic title or a port of an old game, if it sells then theyll consider putting more budget forward to other titles, if its a flop then they abandon support and cut their losses.

you can look back and find third parties port titles nintendo missed out on first time.

Why did you quote me lol, I already have one

 

[Abu_Senpai]

Oh i did that incase you wanted one more. Many people are buying two, i personally aint but many are. So if you want to buy one more, winter 2017 would be the prime time to do so

Well, I don't have a job, so I really can't get a second one.

Funny how almost every game people suggest would be nice to come on the Switch (insert any game here, even mainstream COD, NFS, AC etc etc) from the 'big boys' gets a 'nobody cares about 3rd party on a nintendo', then R* release a 6 year old (good though) game and everybody gets their knickers wet. Same with Skyrim. I mean, i am happy for ALL 3rd party support the big N can get, even if i do not care about them. This is good news but i do believe as others, that this is a stimulant to people wanting the other R* releases... And if they did this one to gauge interest, they chose the wrong title, much like Capcom and EA.

nah. most of the temp bashed and flamed both the title n those enjoyed it when it originally released....i am actually (happly so) surprised by the low of hate scale this time

the main thing not letting me get a Switch was and still is a financial barrier.
they are well in stock everywhere over here.

 

[DaMan]

Switch version cost $10 more.

Now this is a strange turn of events for Rockstar releasing a game on a Nintendo Platform, Wasn't the last one they released on a Nintendo Platform Chinatown Wars on Original NDS?

 

[Taleweaver]

I don't even know what i find more interesting: it coming to the switch or to the vive. But I'm really surprised by this.

 

[DarthDub]

I might get this.

 

[GhostLatte]

Rockstar releasing a game on a Nintendo system? I must be dreaming right now. If this turns out well, I might actually buy a Switch.

 

[CatmanFan]

THIS IS ROCK FUCKING STAR GAMES. OMG.

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!

LOL ... Sure, they don't mean everything. This is why it took Suzuki fourteen years to secure any kind of funding for the third game, and even then he turned to the community, hat in hand.

Not EVERY developer is a heartless EA like corporate bastard you now.

Sure. This is why the "good guys", like the Humble Bundle crew, keep spamming my mailbox, urging me to buy things, telling me it's been a while. But they do that, because they care, right? It's not a script designed to target people who haven't purchased anything for months. It's the caring CEOs, going through the accounts, who worry whether or not I have enough games to play. Grow up. It's all about them dollar bills.

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?

Put down that crack pipe, dude. I've never ever said I wanted GTA. Let's go back in time:

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."

Do I need to wrap everything in quotes, just for you, baby-boo?
