Not a big fan of the GTAs, though GTA4 suffered heavily with that awful GFWL interface. And the lackluster PC port.

However, this looks like LA Confidential done as a game, which will make me pay attention, at least.

I think Rockstar just released the trailer this month. So I'm going to assume it's still in production.

The Prohibition in the US was from 1920 - 1933. L.A. Noire is set in the 1940's. I'm a big fan of the GTA series, Read Dead Redemption, and now LA Noire is going to take on visually one of my favorite time periods.

To each his own, but I'm fascinated with the 40's and 50's.

Graphics look horrible.

Really? Open your eyes man.

L.A. Noire is an upcoming video game developed by Team Bondi and published by Rockstar Games. Initially announced as only for the PlayStation 3, the game was later reported to also be scheduled for release on the Xbox 360. L.A. Noire is set in "a perfectly re-created Los Angeles of the late 1940s, with players being given an open-ended challenge to solve a series of murders.

As the title suggests, the game draws heavily from both plot and aesthetic elements of film noir - stylistic films from the 1940s and 1950s that shared similar visual styles and themes including crime, sex and moral ambiguity and were often shot in black and white with harsh, low-key lighting. The game uses a distinctive colouring-style in homage to the visual style of film noir. The post-war setting is the backdrop for plot elements that reference the detective films of the '40s, such as corruption and drugs, with a classical jazz soundtrack.

L.A. Noire is also notable for using Lightsprint's real-time global illumination technology which means that day and night time and lighting in-game will correspond with the real world.
