5 Books to get you in the mood for LA Noire.

IGN writes: How excited am I for L.A. Noire to come out? I would answer "so excited," except that would be the antithesis of the reaction of every cynical, too-cool-for-school noir novel star on this list. And I love noir novels so much that I fantasize about being those protagonists, even though I share exactly none of their bad-ass qualities, except perhaps that all-important healthy dose of cynicism. If you're interested in L.A. Noire -- or interested in getting interested -- these are five books that will get you in the mood.

Books on a video game web site? Blasphemy!

Oh well, I'm gonna go back to reading The Memory Game...

Does any1 know 5 movies to get in the mood for L.A. Noire?

The Iron Sheik4820d ago

LA Confidential was the first movie I thought of when I first heard about this game. Watch is 5 times and you will be ready for LA Noire.

Quagmire4820d ago

Double Indemnity
Chinatown

Basically any and all Film Noir films (especially in the 40's-80's), and Mafia 2 has also set me in the right mood for this game.

I sold my book store long ago so no i only game now. true

Cannot wait for more on this! looking good guys :)

ProGrasTiNation4820d ago

This article has giving me some faith back in IGN,well at least one of their editors anyway.
Reading rules if you have the imagination for it..The bourne legacy was quite good

madpuppy4820d ago

You want to get ready for LA Noire and don't want to read or watch these classics? well how about some parodies of film noir like The black bird with George Segal or If you want something that takes place in the era of LA Noire you could always watch "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" another great parody is "Dead men don't wear plaid" with Steve Martin.

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."

Skuletor18d 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.

Psychonaut8518d ago

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

Demetrius17d ago

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

Demetrius17d 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 🔥

Skuletor17d ago

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

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

Knightofelemia122d 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.

andy85123d ago

Baffles me when people have these opinions about acclaimed games 😂

RhinoGamer88123d ago

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

sagapo123d 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_Z123d 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.

1nsomniac123d ago (Edited 123d 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.

SyntheticForm123d ago

Team Bondi made a hell of a game.

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 .
