Red Dead Redemption: The Man from Blackwater - it was a short machinima film released to promote the game. Directed by John Hillcoat, the same guy who directed The Road and The Proposition.

Can't wait to play this game, even more so after watching the above gameplay series. Always been a fan of detective novels/TV show, this just might be one more thing i love about Detective series.

Rockstar Made L.A. Noire So Big, They Could Barely Fit It On One Disc (or Three)

You can't judge a video game by the number of discs it ships on—not unless you're prepared to declare the four-disc Lost Odyssey as the best Xbox 360 game of all time. You can, however, judge the intent of the developer to give you a whole lot for your dollar.

Rockstar Made L.A. Noire So Big, They Could Barely Fit It On One Disc (or Three)The folks at Rockstar, never ones to skimp on the amount of content they put on a game disc, have made, in L.A. Noire, a game that spreads across three discs on the Xbox 360, the company confirmed to Kotaku. The forthcoming game about being a detective in 1947 Los Angeles fills a single-layer, 25 GB Blu-Ray disc on the PlayStation 3.

In fact, the developers made so much game that it spilled over into downloadable content.

"L.A. Noire was always going to be a massive game, from the size and detail of the world to the length of the cases, and of course, the sheer amount of MotionScan data required for the faces of over 400 actors in-game," Jeronimo Barrera, one of the company's top people, told me. "To tell the story and make the game we wanted to make, we knew that it was going to take an entire single layer Blu-ray disc and three Xbox discs."

"This gave us a powerful main story, and left us with quality extra content that we wanted to put out as DLC."

Rockstar doesn't tend to ballpark the number of hours it will take to complete their games, and the number of discs on this one doesn't exactly mean the game will take, say, three times as long to play as the single-disc Grand Theft Auto IV. It does indicate, as Barrera explained, that the MotionScan data—the heavily-promoted new technique for rendering realistic facial expressions from the game's actors—requires a significant amount of storage.

The only down-side to a multi-disc game is that it could require a lot of disc-swapping. You don't want to play, say, the two-disc Mass Effect 2 and want to keep changing discs. Not to worry, Barrera said. "Since the game is built around the concept of progressing through individual cases from desk to desk, players on Xbox will find disc-swapping is hassle-free. In fact, players will only need to swap discs twice at natural breaks between cases without interrupting the flow of the game."

L.A. Noire Short Stories Announced

LANoire_TheCollectedStories.jpg


With just a few weeks left until the highly-anticipated release of L.A. Noire, Rockstar has today announced a collaboration with Mulholland Books and eight of the thriller genre’s best writers to deliver L.A. Noire: The Collected Stories – an anthology of short stories inspired by the world of the game itself.

Here’s a description:

1940s Hollywood, murder, deception and mystery take center stage as readers explore the lives of actresses desperate for the Hollywood spotlight, heroes turned defeated men and classic Noir villains. Readers will come across not only familiar faces, but familiar cases from the game that take on a new spin to tell the tales of emotionally torn protagonists, depraved schemers and their ill-fated victims.

L.A. Noire: The Collected Stories features eight short stories from renowned authors Megan Abbott, Lawrence Block, Joe Lansdale, Joyce Carol Oates, Francine Prose, Jonathan Santlofer, Duane Swierczynski and Andrew Vachss – with new stories appearing on the L.A. Noire official site leading up to and through the May 17th release of L.A. Noire (May 20th in Europe and Australia). The complete collection will be made available for digital download on June 6th through all major eBook retailers.

Re: L.A Noire Thread [Xbox 360/PS3]

Reading is boring..

This 3 discs had made me think only have 20 GB on 360 how will people install the game now ? Not sure whether we have to install some stuff after some acts and previous gets deleted ? A 25GB this will take long time.

Maybe it will be like MGS4, where you need to install after every mission. :p
 
Re: L.A Noire Thread [Xbox 360/PS3]

I think he was referring to the 360 versions installation. For a 20GB HDD, only 2 DVD (Dual Layer) worth content can be installed, at once. I think Lost Odyssey (4 discs) & Final Fantasy XIII (3 discs) were the games which had crossed the normal multi-disc threshold. Castlevania: Lords of Shadow had 2 disc installation and once both the discs were installed, you could let the first disc be in there and play the entire game, without the need for disc swap. Not sure how LA Noire would work.
