Trailer: LA Noire's looking like the most cerebral game we've seen in a long time. And that, by the way, is a good thing!
What was up with last week - did the game's industry decide it was going to flood us with trailers? Regardless, though we're a bit late, we still think this new gameplay trailer for Rockstar Bondi's upcoming LA Noire is worth getting up - and looking at.
We actually got to play the game last week, and while we'll have a fuller preview up shortly, we're feeling confident enough to say one thing. Namely, LA Noire is going to be unlike any game you've ever played*. it's measured pace, brilliant facial animation, and sense of setting and mood is unmatched.
But before we jump our own gun, check out the trailer. Cheesey voiceovers aside, it's looking super-shiny.
*Well, maybe it's a bit like Westwood's classic point and click Bladerunner game.
