Publisher: Rockstar Games
Genres: Action, Adventure, Third-Person Shooter
Release Date: May 17, 2011
Developer: Team Bondi
MSRP: $59.99
Platforms:
L.A. Noire is an interactive detective story set in the classic noir period of the late 1940’s.L.A. Noire blends action, detection and complex storytelling and draws players into an open-ended challenge to solve a series of gruesome murders. Set in a perfectly recreated Los Angeles before freeways, with a post-war backdrop of corruption, drugs and jazz, L.A. Noire will truly blend cinema and gaming.

This man was clearly killed by console exclusivity.

As the BT forum has already heard, Take-Two Interactive announced this morning that hit detective game L.A. Noire will be coming to PC in the near future. The port is being handled by Rockstar Leeds, and will be available this Fall.

What else do we know? Well, the website’s statement says:

“It will run on a wide range of PCs and feature customization, including keyboard remapping and gamepad functionality to both optimize and customize the performance and user experience. Along with increased fidelity and improved graphical enhancements, the PC version will feature 3D support for an even greater sense of interaction and immersion within a painstakingly detailed 1940s Los Angeles.”

A wide range of PCs? I will be very impressed if Rockstar manages to find a way to port (and improve) a game that took three whole DVDs to contain and still manage to cater to those gamers with low-end rigs.

Now, only if we could get Red Dead Redemption on PC….

    I would rather have a PC version of Red Dead Redemption, but this is ok, too.

    I guess…

    Nice news! Too bad I already got it on the “crapbox”. Had I know it would have been released to PC I would have wait. Not that the game is that good. none the less.
