Rockstar Spotted Playing L.A. Noire on PS3

An image has surfaced of an official Rockstar Games account playing L.A. Noire on the PS3.

[kenmid]

omg, Breaking News the creators of the game is playing on a PS3. LOL

[sayonara89]

SHOCK

[Quagmire]

So what...I saw an Insomniac dev playing Resistance 3. Maybe I should make a big announcement too. /s

[Coffin87]

How the hell does this stuff get approved???

[irepbtown]

It kind of looks fake.

Why can't we see anything above the name?
You can with every PS3, E.G, when your on your own username, you can see whats above and below like friends.

But i could be wrong.

[Red_Orange_Juice]

interesting photo?
Could they be testing L.A. Noire on the Playstation 3? Maybe getting some screenshots ready for their "big update" that is due out soon?

Woooooow, they're playing the goddamn game, thats what they're doing, some people think devs don't play their games before the release?

and stop fapping to a photo

[DORMIN]

I WILD ROCKSTAR APPEARED!

N4G USES NEWSTORY

ITS NOT VERY EFFECTIVE...
-___-

[NecrumSlavery]

What's more important than that is:

"What theme is this guy using?" Is it a dynamic Christmas theme?

[tacosRcool]

Real?

[Brewski007]

WISKY is playing MODNATION RACERS!!!!!!

[jadenkorri]

omg a game dev is playing a video game... to the command centre... step...step step step...ok...
evaluates picture !...!....?????
wait whats that a lvl 1 trophier, with no image...wait..
i think i got it, the question that is boggling my mind...

*********WHY DO WE CARE?**********
****HOW DID THIS GET APPROVE?*****
**********LOOKS UP****************
*********Oh thats why*************

[IllusionRSN]

Considering the game isn't even out... it is a shock. It's irrelevant what they are playing on, that's not what the story is about lol.

[MariaHelFutura]

Did you submit this??

[SilverSlug]

He did lol.

[ShinMaster]

I don't think anyone is making a big deal that Rockstar is playing on a PS3.
They're just repeating what the title says.

But, the LA Noire thing is surprising.

[xxBiG_BoSSxx]

its interesting to me because the game appears to be playable outside of a dev kit/pc set up, which is an indicator of how far along the game could be. i am just assuming this however, so...yeah.

[Speed-Racer]

Insightful comment kenmid ... not

[TreMillz]

Remember at one point L.A. Noire was a PS3 exclusive so it had to be in development for it. Unless R* pulled a BS move and switched development to the 360 then well this should be expected.

[Blaze929]

who cares? Aren't developers SUPPOSED to play their games? No, they just make it and ship it right?

[BiggCMan]

Infinity Ward and Treyarch do haha!

[smittyjerkins]

Bubbles for you, BiggCMan.

Also, I like the CMan part of your name. Hehe, cock jokes.

[BiggCMan]

It's not a cock joke funny enough. Everyone seems to think so but i've grown used to it and just ignore it. I never ment for it to be funny. It's just my nickname.

[badz149]

+bubbles but you forgot Bathesda!

[zeddy]

why wouldnt they be playing on the ps3? the game is multi plat doesnt mean the ps3 version will be the lead version. i fully expect the ps3 copy to be the inferior product.

[xTHRASHx]

Jesus. Surprised Fox News didn't jump on this one.

Today on Irrelevant Info...

[scar20]

No fair i declare shenanigans.

Is it me or does the background look the same as the guy that leaked the kz3 story?

Edit:look at the tree now look at this video. http://n4g.com/news/660252/...

[duplissi]

so two different people cant have the same background?

[ChronoJoe]

Are you stupid?

It's the only christmas dynamic theme, and it's christmas. I'm using it too... SHIT, there must be some kinda connection there too!?

It's probably fake, but not because they're using the same theme... lol

[MariaHelFutura]

MEGATON!!!!

[Speed-Racer]

Ah yes, can;t wait for this title

[stylez84]

Interesting. Looks like someone was playing LA Noire on a PS3 that maybe they shouldn't have been. I would think generally they would play an unreleased game while signed out of PSN. They'd more likely play on a special dev console so that people like us don't find these sorts of things and blow our loads all over the internet. lol

[ChronoJoe]

Why, shouldn't they have been? did they just unveil this games existence? no. What useful information did we get from this article? none at all.

I don't see what the fuss is all about. lol

[Throwaway2020]

Is this supposed to be exclusive or is that agent?

[Genecalypse]

Agent is, and there hasnt been any news on that in a long time

[VenomProject]

L.A. Noire = not exclusive

Agent = exclusive

[xX TriiCKy Xx]

L.A. Noire isn't exclusive to PS3? Well fuck, if its dumbed down like most of the other multiplats, I'm not buying.

[ChristianGamer]

Like Afrika or White Knight Chronicles? Yeah, those are such technical marvels

[VenomProject]

@ChristianGamer

Troll harder.

[No Way]

Then don't buy.. It's that simple.

As for me, it looks awesome..
It's a definite buy for me.

[mfwahwah]

@xX TriiCKy Xx

Don't be stupid. The development costs for L.A. Noire went THROUGH THE FUCKING ROOF. It's a VERY expensive game.

That means they either would have made it go multiplat or nixxed it to use the assets for other projects. SO yeah, try to use some critical thinking skills instead of trolling. Its good for the brain :D

[ChronoJoe]

@Huwmor

It was originally slated as an exclusive. That's probably what had you a little confused. No worries.

[BYE]

Sony should have kept this exclusive, they even funded it and ended up losing it to Microsoft.

[PeeWizzle]

That means it ain't coming to Xbox.

[electricshadow]

What? *looks at bubble count*

Ah.

[saint_john_paul_ii]

or it could just confirm that the game is PS3 lead platform.

[SilverSlug]

Doesn't confirm anything. Its just someone playing the game on their PS3 before its release.

[blumatt]

I hope that is true, so both platforms will look good. Usually when games are ported from the 360 to PS3 they look a tad less polished, but when the PS3 is the lead platform, they both look good, most of the time.

[ChronoJoe]

"I'm going to agree with Pope, his assertion is entirely unfounded, but I do like my PS3 the most"

I can't believe that went through my mind for a moment. lol anyway, yeah it doesn't mean anything aside that the game exists, on the playstation 3 platform.

Hell, most likely they're playing the 360 version too. Just those guys didn't forget to keep themselves off XBL before doing so.

[stonecold3]

la noir is heading towards the 360 but agent aint agent is a ps3 exclusive game which wont be coming to the 360 as far as im concerned is the way rockstar giving us gimped versions of gta4 and red dead redemption this is why im concerned with la noir i hope it dosent fall the way like red dead redemption or gta4 same with maxpayne 3

[ChristianGamer]

As far as you're concerned? Well i hate to break it to you, your involvement here means squat

[mfwahwah]

Stop letting your expectations get so high then. Take the games for what they are and you'll enjoy them.

Or maybe not. Not my problem.

[Brodiesan]

I was going to agree with your comment but your gross lack of punctuation meant I ran out of breath and had to lie down.

[Arup02]

Maybe the game is almost finished, and will be released after VGA

[Lawliet]

Could this be the secret title they'll be showing at VGA? hmm..

[Genecalypse]

Nah I doubt it, its not really a secret at all

[IllusionRSN]

This isn't a secret title, it's been in development for over 6 years now.

[floetry101]

playrockstar1 just recieved 500 friend requests.

[MyUS_ARMY_CPTRespect]

Not 500 it's alone 100 friend list U r Xbox 360 fan?

[Dsnyder]

Ah no fair! I want to play this.

[jokia005]

BTW where is Agent?

[ChristianGamer]

In hell!
Development hell lol.

[dkgshiz]

This game still will always feel like vaporware to me no matter what happens.

[Bolts]

...Killzone devs were spotted playing the Killzone 3 beta on the PS3.

[muzzy]

The news is not it's being played on PS3. I think they'll use the same sub-HD engine as they used for RDR :(. But RDR was so good, I forgave them.

The news is, game is so much advanced in development that it's being played on a stock (or test) PS3, not a devbox. PS3 devkits don't log into PSN. In other words: it's beta. And this IS a big news as this is a big game.

[MyUS_ARMY_CPTRespect]

Maybe this staff! this PSN ID with new 1 trophy!? or beta
Maybe He stole or Jailbreak.

[BILLYGATEZ]

Actually LA Noire is most certainly leading development on Playstation 3, as it was once a full-on Sony published PS3 exclusive. It's also from the developer that made the first two Getaway games. No it's not running on Rockstar's broken SubHD RAGE engine. It's running on it's own tech that Team Bondi developed while working on LA Noire as a PS3 exclusive. So expect the PS3 version to be the one to get, as it is the lead platform.

[OpiZA]

Seriously, wtf.
Not news.

[Dark-Cloud4]

im sure all the gamemakers try the game even if it's not finished ... they don't make everything and then test the game , no , they put things and then try it , if it turn the way they want they continue and if it didn't they edit it and try it again ...

[topekomsi]

Rockstar is an amazing dev, i just hope we can see the ps3 version be equal or better (graphically) than the 360. RDR left a horrible taste in my mouth.

[sickbird]

Maybe if it was Agent it would be a big deal, but we all know LA Noire is well into development.

[BlmThug]

OMG They Are Playing A Game They Made *Dies Of Shock*

[BannedForNineYears]

Omg..........
Cool dynamic theme.

[Bounkass]

Lol, so what?

[Premonition]

it would have been better to see them playing AGENT in my opinion, at least show the game is coming a long well or something.

[hiredhelp]

well the dudes given away a gamertag of rockstar member i dont beleave this to be true. and if it was why should this get disaprooved coffin87?. why cos on ps3 not 360 stop moaning all 360 guys youll getting the game too. it be mostly programed on the 360 first anyhows.

[BlackSharinganX]

AJA WE GOT YOU NOW TO POST YOU ON N....OH WAIT ITS ALREADY DONE DARN

[piefight100]

this would have been interesting if it was a unannounced title but we heard of this game a long time ago lol
