L.A Noire- Trailer Analysis – Spectacular Facial Animations and more

Gamersmint: L.A Noire's first in-game footage trailer was finally revealed today. Much to our surprise the former Playstation 3 exclusive looks fantastic, at least in this trailer which the developers claims to have entirely created from in-game footage.

Now it's coming to the PS3 and Xbox 360 since Sony made a deal with Rockstar which made Agent a PS3 exclusive and this went multi. Atleast that's what a little birdie told me

Red_Orange_Juice4906d ago (Edited 4906d ago )

True, I think Sony did good, you can't go wrong with Agent makers Rockstar North.

cmrbe4906d ago

With what Rockstar learned from RDR and L.A Noire. I can't imagine what they will do with The Agent especially with the big boys at Rockstar North developing it. Plus exclusivity to PS3 and Sony support. This is why i am most excited about The Agent.

vsr4906d ago

But real game is AGENT. It will be the next GTA (R*North)

gigaware4906d ago (Edited 4906d ago )

You should read the details or google it before asking such a strange question. Console listings are right under the description lol

Impressive tech in this game.

ico924906d ago

i've got a feeling the story is gonna be a landmark, however am i the only person bothered by how similar it looks to Mafia 2

Quagmire4906d ago

Why, just cause its set in the same time period? Of course its gonna look similar, I dont see you complaining about how similar Heavy Rain and GTA is considering theyre set in the same time period.

TheBlackSmoke4906d ago

"I dont see you complaining about how similar Heavy Rain and GTA is"

err...wut?

showtimefolks4906d ago

they get this game plus get an exclusive game

agent we know nothing about but that its under devolpment from the same people who make GTA and taht sounds awsome

this game is made by the guy who made getaway series a good but never great but hopefully with LA:N he finally has the tech to make a awsome game

don't disagree with me only stating the facts getaway1-2 were good game but not on teh same level as some other games in its gener

ico924906d ago

one thing that the getaway had that not allot of games have even to this day, was the realism in its story, its probably the best written story in gaming history, seriously im talking about movie quality, and the voice acting was incredible, most video game characters sound like cartoons these guys sounded like actual people, the story was really incredible.

the games only problem was its design

Dark-Cloud4906d ago

getaway was kool and still remember few things about it , but it's not better then san andreas ... but i get dispointed when they cancle the game in the ps3 :( , i still remember the pictures befor they cancle it , i remember it had a great graphics !! it's befor ps3 released ...

JasonPC360PS3Wii4906d ago

Agent won't be out untill 2014 and by then it will probably be cancelled or multiplatform. Just look at LA Noire it was once exclusive and now it's gone multi.

the best facial effect I have seen in a long time, maybe ever. I am excited all right. Rockstar can make a stellar game right here.

showtimefolks4906d ago

i think the tech that's being used for this game is really expensive but if this succeed than we will see other big devs use the same tech

theIMP4906d ago

It was expensive to develop the tech behind it, once they have the tech in place it can potentially be used to make the development of game cheaper, and cut down on the time it takes to develop a game. Unless I misunderstood, they set up cameras to capture actors from every angle and join all the footage together to get the model for the game. The actors aren’t just getting their motions captured to animate a 3-D model, they ARE the in-game model. I think It is amazing tech and has the potential to change the way they make games. Of course I have not seen it in action and therefore could be wrong, but from all I've gathered and what I've read, it's ground breaking.

N311V4906d ago

I agree but rockstar is only publishing, team bondi are developing.

showtimefolks4906d ago

are involved it was in gameinformer most people on taht team are from RS since many of getaway series people are still working for sony

so in a way we are sure this game will be awsome

psb4906d ago

Mafia II looks stale tbh. I want to see more of it.

AKA4906d ago

and cool and they are saying that the gameplay is fresh and like no other game so i will keep my eyes on it...

Shaman4906d ago

not animations,facial animations that is.And yea,they are spectacular,better than anything out there.

arragionthegreat4906d ago (Edited 4906d ago )

Don't make Kratos mad ,..he be flipping ,.. m'kay?

They are great,..but I am really not totally blown away either,.

arragionthegreat4906d ago (Edited 4906d ago )

So you guys think this shit looks better than Kratos?

Wow,..
You guys crazy ,..

number474906d ago (Edited 4906d ago )

PS3 owners have seen heavenly sword, heavy rain, uncharted, MGS4, and multiplatform offerings as far as animation. 360 owners have seen halo, gears, and fable, as well as multiplatform titles..where most of the animation is well.. and the facial animation.. well.. yet haven't been exposed to the visual bars of animation of PS3 tech.

You find most of the 360 fans on the site saying 'spectacular' but its about the state of technology at this point.Its the same thing when you see "JAW DROPPING COD3 screenshots." well it is, from that perspective.

Fun Fact:

No 360 game released has better facial animation than Heavenly Sword. And thats just the first one... move up to Uncharted2 after that.

kaveti66164906d ago

you are a sad, strange, little man, and for that you have my pity.

number474906d ago

*yawn*

No one can name any game that has better facial animation than Heavenly Sword on the 360. Its why this isn't amazing to some, and phenomenal to others. Thats my only point.

Haters..gonna..hate...

Quagmire4906d ago

Toy Story reference FTW!

theIMP4906d ago

An even more fun fact, the tech behind this game has never been seen on any platform before, seeing as how they just developed it for this game. You should read up on it man, it's pretty amazing. I guess it is hard to keep an open mind with your head that far up Sony's ass, but that doesn't change the fact it's never been done before. See I look at it from a gamers perspective, I like new, better, "outside the box" type stuff, from whom ever put's it out. I don't limit myself by misplaced loyalty to a company who cares nothing for me. Really all i'm trying to say is look into man, no need to start the Sony Vs. MS shit in a tread thats has nothing to do with the "Console War".

tordavis4906d ago

No game this gen has facial animation as good as Heavenly Sword. Next up would be Mass Effect 2.

thewhoopimen4906d ago (Edited 4906d ago )

I don't see how "superb" the facial animations are. It seems to be a cut above GTA4 but it's nothing like what I saw from Ninja Theory's Heavenly Sword. Its not even quite in the same league as uncharted 2 either. But maybe the best for a sandbox title.

jetlian4906d ago

here the faces are plain too. the overall graphics are low. Also the woman who screams doesn't have the high facial animation

gillri4906d ago

Its Ken Cosgrove from Mad Men!!

awesome! he must have lent his likeness and voice to the game

NoBias4906d ago (Edited 4906d ago )

What's crazy is that he actually did these mocap recordings before Madmen. About 4 years ago.

gillri4906d ago

4 years earlier? jeez no wonder the animation is soo good, they have had ages to lip-synch it

dont listen to number47 either, I have had all those games and only Uncharted 2 has as good facial animation as this

and this has ALOT more dialogue, like 100 times more

L.A. Noire And Bully — Rockstar's Lost Gems That Deserve A Sequel As Much As GTA

Hanzala from eXputer: "I do appreciate GTA 6, Rockstar, but if I could trade it for a new L.A. Noire or a Bully game, I'd do so in a heartbeat."

Skuletor11d ago

How are they lost? You can get L.A. Noire on Steam, PS5, Xbox Series and Nintendo Switch and Bully is on the PS5 and Xbox Series too.

Psychonaut8511d ago

I want a new Manhunt game. But that will never happen.

Demetrius11d ago

Mfs are too sensitive nowadays and would cry instead of being concerned bout real world problems

Demetrius11d ago

Whenever gta 6 launch we won't be getting another rockstar title for another 10 years lol but on the positive side they bou to come back n show how open world supposed to be done 🔥

Skuletor11d ago

I won't expect any singleplayer DLC like IV's The Lost & Damned or The Ballad of Gay Tony after it launches either

12 Years Later, L.A. Noire is Still an Excellent Experience

There was a lot to love about Rockstar and Team Bondi's 2011 open world title.

One I never finished. I've been looking at the ps4 version off Amazon the last few months just never bit

Knightofelemia116d ago

It's worth playing LA Noire is one of my favorite Rockstar games. But I would also check out pawnshops or thrift stores if you want the game dirt cheap. Someone may have been dumb enough to dump the game.

andy85116d ago

Baffles me when people have these opinions about acclaimed games 😂

RhinoGamer88117d ago

100% agree... not perfect, but an engaging/refreshing experience.

sagapo116d ago

Agree, at time of release those facial expressions were amazing! They still hold strong even today imo.
The game on its own was good. Something fresh, but sidequests were a bit meh after a while.

Nacho_Z116d ago

I picked it up on sale recently, going to play it next summer. I'll get more out of it this time, first time around I treated the open world like it was GTA and goofed about, whereas now I'll play it with more respect. RDR2 has trained me well.

I also hadn't read Raymond Chandler at the time so presumably that'll add another layer of enjoyment too.

1nsomniac116d ago (Edited 116d ago )

Absolutely stunning game. So underrated. Played through it again last year and it still stands up so well. Like many of rockstars games it’s actually a far better experience on PC. I didn’t enjoy it as much on console. Completed it at least 3 times on pc.

The rumours of a sequel are awesome news despite the fact I think Rockstar are now the shell of the company they once were.

SyntheticForm116d ago

Team Bondi made a hell of a game.

Six Best Historically Accurate Games

GF365: "Out of the many historically accurate games out there, these are our picks for the six best games that are historically accurate. While these games aren't completely accurate, they depict the times and situations of history well. Plus, they're all a lot of fun to play, too."

Historically accurate from the past is tough to truly know and judge especially the farther you go back because history is written from the people in power and doesn’t mean it’s the truth just the narrative they wanted to tell.

I don’t care about historically accurate in most games because they are games not biographies or history books . Just make the game fun , good gameplay and such .

Ghost of Tsushima wasn’t historically accurate in many things but I loved the game . Many examples like it .
