Will L.A. Noire Be 2011's Heavy Rain?

PSExtreme: I don't mean to imply that L.A. Noire will be as amazing as Quantic Dream's masterpiece, nor would I put both titles in question in the same category.

More specifically, I'm wondering if the advancements in storytelling offered by L.A. Noire - which I think we're all anticipating - will assist the industry in the "growing up" process, in much the same way Heavy Rain was progressive.

Is X gonna be this year's X??? woooow

Tired of that shit. Why not just make it stupid 'VS.' article while you're at it. Then give both games the Lens of Turd treatment.

They wrote the game like Heavy Rain an adventure game type script and Rockstar is backing it therefore it will be amazing.

If L.A. Noire is anything like HR, then once you finish the game (and it's multiple endings) there will be ZERO replay value.

Why do people think HR was so great? I bought it and was finish in less then a weak, I could have rented it for $7 and got just as much out of it.

Yes , I did finish all 7 endings and it was a struggle because it was getting so tedious. After I was done I sold it and I never want to see HR again.
