James_Tonto Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 For me the question isn't, is L.A. Noire a fun time. I already beat the game and it was a fun time. My question is, what are they going to add in? Cause I already have a list of improvements or changes I would like, for the game. 1. More content. If they're going to make the leap to PS4, I want even more content. I don't want much, maybe a few undercover police cases? Or a few more missions as a beat cop, before becoming a detective? Also more of Jack Kelso, y'know that other dude that was on the original L.A. Noire cover art? The guy who only shows up again, in the final act. Maybe have a whole separate story, involving Kelso and his line of detective work? 2. Story/Narrative improvements. I felt that while I enjoyed the story, it could be a bit disjointed and lacking at times. There were story elements that were hidden away in newspaper collectables. And the main plot revolves around something that keeps popping up, in the other cases. (I know what it is, just refraining from mentioning this spoiler.) 3. Have a collectable tracker of some kind. L.A. Noire has a LOT of collectables, riding in all the cars, the golden vinyl records, visiting all the landmarks, finding police badges etc. Some method of tracking them, would be appreciated. 4. Less, shooty bang bang, more detective work. I'm not one for turning down the violence, but Cole Phelps is meant to be a detective, not a gunslinger. He's got a bodycount in the triple digits, by the end of the game. Maybe downplay these elements in this re-release. Or perhaps Cole could fire disabling shots, like capping a running thief on the foot or shooting the gun, out of their hand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but I want a tracker that doesn't require that. Maybe like an in-game menu or a little book, like the detetctive notepad? 53 minutes ago, Spaz said: I thought this was merely a remaster. Well according to Se7en and the link, there's some new minor content confirmed already. I basically don't want to just buy a prettier version of the same game, if I wanted that, I'd play Skyrim on PS4. Which I don't intend to get, if only cause I dislike the implementation of the creation club in Fallout 4 and Skyrim.

What I want to know is how good LA Noire is going to look on a PS4 Pro with an Ultra 4K TV. I can't afford either of those things so I basically have to settle with the current 1080p TV and original PS4 setup I got right now. I don't really want to play a prettier version of the same game either. Mostly because that Film Reel trophy and Car Fanatic trophy were a pain in the ass to get. Took me a few hours of frustration to get both of them. Don't have Skyrim. I got enough games on my backlog to play for the upcoming months.

Cassylvania Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Of all the games I didn't play when I had a PS3, this was the one I wanted to play the most. Unfortunately, I never got around to it. I'm glad to hear I'll finally be able to play it on the PS4. *still waiting for a Demon's Souls remaster* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A prettier version of the game is all you'll get (for now). It's basically a remaster with a better camera, with some extra work done on the visuals for the PS4/X1 and with motion/touch controls for the Switch. My personal guess is that Rockstar is testing the water, seeing if an L.A. Noire sequel would be profitable. Let's be honest, Rockstar is our best shot at an L.A. Noire sequel - the Team Bondi leftovers that disappeared into a different company are never finishing their proposed spiritual successor, Whore Of The Orient. L.A. Noire was halfway there to being L.A. Confidential, Rockstar could keep a sequel in the same setting and adapt more of the L.A. Quartet series. Personally, I don't feel like getting a "polished" version of L.A. Noire - I think polishing its graphics would only highlight the flaws in said graphics. That being said, it's still a game I feel like replaying a couple of times and I want to eventually get rid of my PS3, which is why I will buy the new version (on the Switch).

DrakeHellsing Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 While I have the game on my PS3, I have not really played much of it, so I'd probably play it on the PS4 in the end, as in, for better load times and all that sort of stuff. But who knows, we shall see if I will actually get it or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OhTheSilence Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Can't wait to replay this one on PS4, played it originally on Xbox One and never bothered to get the 100%! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesla_Rules Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Great game, but have all the DLC for the PS3 model of LA Noire. Will pass on this one and go for RDR2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
