  • After the release of LA Noire in 2011, its developer Team Bondi crumbled while in the midst of developing a sequel, unfortunately, named "The Whore of the Orient." This is its story.

      I never finished the game when it came out, but I bought it again. My wife and I played it during 2020 when everything was locked down. She doesn't play games at all, but she absolutely loved this game. We went through the whole thing together. We both love true crime and real life games like Hunt A Killer (it's really great if you haven't tried it). LA Noire tops the list.

    They could 100% revive this as a series.
    The beauty of it is you could have a game, a story, and a setting in multiple cities around this era and it would just work.
    • L.A. Noire
    • N.Y. Noire
    • Chicago Noire

      Yeah. Like the original la noire, these games will have you play as at least two different protagonists.. these games may also draw elements from cop shows(or any similar show based on law enforcement) depending on which city the game takes place..
      Ny noire-draws elements from NYPD blue, law and order and blue bloods
      Texas noire-based on walker Texas ranger where you play as a Texas ranger plus a cop depending on which city or cities of Texas the game takes place.
      Miami noire-based on Miami vice and csi Miami
      Detroit noire-takes place mainly in Detroit but may also include other parts of Michigan
      La noire 2-takes place at least 50 years after the original. One of the missions or arcs is based on the murder of Rodney king. May also be based on the original 911(and can be one of few noire games to feature a female playable protagonist and is based on the character of Athena)
      Chicago noire-takes place in Chicago. Can be based on any cop show that takes place in Chicago, ie Chicago pd

Plus it feels like we havent gotten a modern, great New York based game since GTA Liberty Cities. But True Crimes NYC was an amazing game. Hopefully they can find a way to make something work in the future.

      Surely not. The gameplay was terrible, and so was the 'search for an item with a cursor till you find it' 'detective work'. I can see how you like the story/style - but even that ended by showing you didn't even have the right man! The city was dead and the GTA-style shooting/driving was clunkier than an early Saints Row, somehow.

    @libertyfighter76 ปีที่แล้ว +71

    The first time I played L.A Noire I was blown away by it's graphics, storyline and the motion scan technology system used to create the character's real life faces.
    The gameplay was good and entertaining in some areas but not so great in others, repetitiveness issues slightly hurt L.A Noire as well, although I think many players overlooked this at the time because they thought and felt there was something unique and special about the game as a whole.
    L.A Noire was more like playing a movie game which appealed to many people, the storyline was captivating and you really connected with all the characters and their backgrounds.
    Driving around the streets of L.A with your partner gave the impression the open world environment was huge, almost never ending, it looked and felt so real and it's a shame you couldn't interact more with the City and people, like go into a restaurant/cafe to have a meal and drink, nip into a bar for a refreshing beer, visit a casino and play on the slot machines, take a trip on a bus get to a certain location, these sorts of things.
    By all means L.A Noire is not a masterclass, it had it's flaws like any other game, but everyone at Team Bondi did a fantastic job under very poor working conditions to create a rare gem.
    Rockstar knew once L.A Noire was released that making a sequel was gonna be just a big a challenge, there is always a possibility that we will see an L.A Noire 2 in the future, although I'm not very confident of this actually happening.
    If there is to ever be an L.A Noire 2 then it must look, feel and play like the original, but be so much better in every single way, Rockstar knows this and they don't want the ruin the name "L.A Noire" by releasing a rushed sub standard sequel which players will look upon it as an inferior follow up to the original.
    The 1970s or 1980s would make for 2 good decades to base L.A Noire 2 around, even if it took 3-5 years to make the sequel fans of the franchise would be patient and give Rockstar all the time they needed, the anticipation and excitement of eventually playing a follow up would be electric.
    I'm enjoying L.A Noire just as much now as I did back in 2011, some cases are great to relive as it brings back fond gaming memories and reminds me to appreciate just what Team Bondi had done and achieved.
    If you imagine, L A Noire looked great back in it's day, gaming technology has advanced immensely over the last 10 years, so if we are ever treated to a sequel then no doubt it will be mind blowing, and have awesome realism and gameplay to boot.

      @libertyfighter76 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@solasoul33 Thanks for your comment, even though the 80s and 90s was covered by GTA like you said, LA Noire is a seperate game altogether and Rockstar wouldn't have any problems deciding to set LA Noire 2 in either of those 2 decades, or even the 70s.
      Rockstar could even create a follow on sequel to LA Noire by reusing most or all the characters from the original that didn't die at the end, and build upon their storylines more; this could be done but I feel Rockstar would prefer to set LA Noire 2 in a completely different decade, fresh storyline and with all new characters.
      I'm replaying certain cases in LA Noire now on the Xbox 360 and still enjoying the game, there are still moments to be had out of LA Noire that make me smile or even laugh. I enjoy getting into certain vehicles and my partner makes amusing and sarcastic comments like: "If the captain sees us driving around in this we're dead," and "Show more respect for other people's propery Phelps," lol
      Rockstar has always been good at throwing in character humour, jokes and tongue in cheek lines into their games, has almost become a trademark symbol with them.

    • @goatlps
      @goatlps 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Come on, all the 'detective work' was terrible, and just point and click, but without any puzzles. Very repetitive. The driving and shooting were worse than any GTA, as bad as Saints Row 1. The facial capture stuff was ultimately pointless and ineffective. The cities were completely dead too. It was a poor man's Mafia/2. A sequel should have actual detective puzzles and gameplay like GTAIV, at least. Overrated, but not as overrated as Max Payne 3, TBF.

Playing the game in the living room while my dad watched. He loved movies and this was just one big movie. He's gone now, and I've played it once since he's passed.

    The graphics for this game were so ahead of its time. It holds up well even by todays graphics. The facial movements and frames were crazy good for 2011. If you just made it 4k it would look like a decent modern game. This looks om the same level or slightly better than gta 5

    Although there’s plenty of room to continue & expand the series, it’s quite a rarity to catch lightning in the bottle with a game like LA Noire and not have it be replicated. Truly a relic of its time, especially with the detailed facial expressions/features playing such a prominent role in questioning. Brilliant work by Rockstar & Team Bondi!

    I remember when I was twelve years old and I played this gem. I thought it was cool that for once in a “Rockstar” game (I put quotations because it’s not really a rockstar game) you get to play as an actual legit good guy and fight against crime. I was also genuinely surprised by the writing and how every character seemed real and not black and white. I wish there was a sequel, but maybe it’s best that this remains the only game so that others hopefully see this game and play it for themselves. I think it’s timeless, and it’s quite the experience. I felt so engaged with the protagonist that the ending hit like a truck when it was all said and done.

    **REAL REASON**
    The Australian Gov doesn't believe the 2 following things have a future relevant enough to warrant financial backing or a proper space within the Country;
    - The internet - we invented Wi-Fi, and yet, refuse to upgrade our infrastructure enough to surpass our internet service ranking, still being behind Kenya.
    - Gaming - gaming is violent, and only in-game money oriented games are what have any sort of place. All others show too much potential to advance Australia's noteriety for something other than landmark tourist attractions, medical achievements and overall expertise, wildlife, etc... ya know, ll the things the Government can make some long lasting mony from with a 100% chance at a profit.

    I always loved the idea of LA Noire’s successor being based in Detroit and set in the late 60s. Whereas LA Noire highlighted a city just beginning to blossom, Detroit Noire would feature a mature city that at the beginning of the worst decline of any major American city.
    60s Detroit saw an explosion in crime, racial strife, and the downturn of its benchmark industries. I think there are lots of interesting stories to tell which would make for a pretty amazing sandbox game which allows for a solid main story and unlimited side quests.

    I always thought LA Noire would have been great if you had played as a Private Detective instead of a cop. Would have allowed more freedom and interesting situations in my opinion. Still enjoyed the game as it was, but hoped for a sequel as a PI.

  • @synthmasquerade294
    @synthmasquerade294 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I had an idea that I thought would be cool while rewatching eyes wide shut. I thought it would be cool in the sequel or just a different detective style game altogether to only have one (long) case in which you investigate a strange cult similar to the one in EWS. It would maybe start with following bread crumbs and unlike LA NOIRE have more emphasis on you doing the detective work. Since it would only be one case maybe have multiple branching stories within and posibilities/outcomes. Having very little handholding and maybe even a small emphasis on trial/error but without being able to go back unless starting everything from scratch more or less in hte vain of heavy rain but a lot more interactive. You would be able to even infiltrate them, have a more engaging bad/cop good/cop system, a smaller but more hub like dense city with lots of interesting npc's that may or may not be involved in this circle you investigate, twists and turns and maybe even a partner system where you could co op. Just some ideas.

Since forensic analyst Ray Pinker appears in both La Noire and Dragnet, it only makes sense that Sgt. Joe Friday exists in the old LA we see in the game. LA Noire 2: The Dragnet
