Unfortunately, you also uncover a sinister side to post-war life in a deflated America. You investigate a series of murders (sharing many similarities with real life killers and cases) and other crimes, helping you to rise to the top of the police force. Noire, it’s a crime thriller set in Los Angeles in the 1940s, following the life of Cole Phelps, a new cop in the LAPD.

It’s making its way onto the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, but we know what the improvements are going to be there, and to be fair, that’s why Rockstar opted to show me how it played on the Nintendo Switch, and the HTC Vive.įor those of you who aren’t familiar with L.A. I got to see the game in two of its soon-to-be-released forms. I headed down to London recently to spend a few hours playing L.A. Noire coming back, I was actually pretty chuffed, mainly because Rockstar Games I absolutely loved the game when it released 6 years ago, but I was still curious as what bringing it out now would do for it.

It’s fine if you’re into that kind of thing, but it’s happening a lot, and you can’t help but wonder what the point is, other than to get some easy money rolling in. It seems like the done thing this generation to re-release an old classic, with ‘remastered’ visuals, and extended cutscenes/new puzzles/new locations you wouldn’t know if they were new because it had been so long since you were a part of that world anyway.
