L.A. Noire PC version announced for fall
Team Bondi's detective thriller is coming to PC this fall with enhanced graphics, Rockstar has announced.
PC gamers, rejoice! Publisher Rockstar today announced that Team Bondi's 1940s detective thriller L.A. Noire will be released for PC this fall.
The PC port is developed by Rockstar Leeds, and promises "increased fidelity and graphical enhancements," keyboard remapping, and gamepad support. You'll also be able to play it in 3D future-o-vision, if you have the appropriate hardware.
Rockstar claims that L.A. Noire "will run on a wide range of PCs," which is good to hear after the terrible performance problems suffered by Grand Theft Auto IV on PC.
L.A. Noire was released for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in May, and has shipped around four million units so far. If you've had your fingers in your ears, pretending L.A. Noire didn't exist until you heard of a PC version, you should check out our review.

I never thought it would happen. Now only if they would do Red Dead on PC the circle would be complete...
-
I already own it on PS3 but I'm glad more people can play this game. I'm glad that there's a big budget adventure game that's actually selling well too.
I hope that when they do the sequel, which they will since this game sold a ton, they make it non-linear and have the clues and criminal for each case change every time you do it. And also make it that if you fuck up the case, you actually lose instead of just getting a lower score. -
WTF. Why did I buy this on 360?
Fuck me. -

Avoiding a pretty enjoyable RPG simply because PC wasn't lead SKU? That makes absolutely no sense.
-
Fable 3 isn't really an RPG though, it's an action or hack and slash game with "RPG elements". And it was pretty awful.
Fable: Lost Chapters on the other hand, that was a pretty fun game.

At least I didn't ejaculate into my pants the moment I read the game is going to be released on PC... like the rest of you spineless-game-buying-bad-corporate-practice-approving 12 year olds.
On a serious note - I'll just vote with my wallet and probably pick up the game when it's 5€ on Steam or something.-

You want to send a message? Don't buy console games, buy PC games at full price. Money talks.

You're going to miss out on a great game for being naive.

with all due respect - shut. up.

That's ok, I'll pick it up for you at some point down the line.

We should be god damned grateful we get anything at all with our piss poor attitudes and rampant pirating. FUCK

Yeah, screw those guys for bringing this game to an entirely new platform and audience. How dare they!

It's butchering the market in the sense that many people wanted it on PC. With no early announcement that it was ever coming to PC many people opted to get it for the XBox or PS3. And I suspect many of those are not going to buy a second copy, so the sales on PC are going to be a lot lower than they would have been.

I believe L.A. Noire is built upon Team Bondi's own in-house engine rather than Rockstar's RAGE, so this doesn't necessarily mean anything for Red Dead Redemption.

True, but it will be awesome to see it in crisp hi-res on PC at a high framerate.
-

Indeed it was. I traded in in, got 30 bucks towards Zelda 3DS.
-

my guess is they looked at the first week numbers, combined that with the knowledge they already had about the state of interest in adventure games on PC and decided the port was worth it.
Also, I think it'd be a bit easier to port to PC than RDR, with all the point 'n click, plus the subject matter is appropriate for the older PC gaming demographic (i mean the older, older end of it, in particular).
Anyhow, it's a fantastic game - you will loooove it! -

I'll be buying a copy to encourage more PC ports. GTA4 on PC was awesome

Good god the amount of whining complaining assbags in this thread is amazingly annoying. Would you people just shut up, good lord.

With the exception of the helicopters, the controls on PC were far better. AA I don't really care about, no issue with textures at any point, and I played through 90% of the game on a pretty lame ass middle of the road PC with a 512mb video card.
Quit trollin son-

Since this looks like a troll post, I'll counter with:
the ability to mouselook while driving > foolish Fisher Price gamepad-
Irony....

I like da jokes

The helicopters, like all the varying cars in that game just took some finesse. After you got it down flying them was great.
-
Wrong muthafucka. As for the AA. The engine wasn't built with AA intact. The one guy who was able to mod it in still didn't manage to do it right without it killing the performance. You don't notice the aliasing while it's moving. Especially when you have the settings on high.

awwww yeah!!! I almost bought it this past weekend too. Now I'll just wait for PC

Glad to see Rockstar hasn't given up on PC's just yet. Sad that this isn't Red Dead Redemption instead. I think it'll be nice to have the option to play LA Noire, but I think RDR is the better game.
-
Red Dead Redemption pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease
-
I'll buy it just to fund a RDR port.
-
-
And do what? Hire the actors to do side jobs?
-
-
Who cares. I'd rather have RDR & mods. LA Noire is better suited for a couch and a controller.
-
RDR didn't do it for me, but Noire looks great and I have no consoles right now so this is still pretty great news.
Though if RDR came to PC I might buy it again anyway. -

I play my PC games from a couch with a wireless kb/mouse. My name is John Titor
-
Seriously, that is the most worthless argument in the world. I game on a TV from either a chair or a couch on either a controller or mouse & keyboard, whatever is best for the game.
If you're too fucking stupid to have a good gaming setup, I don't see how that's the game's problem.-
True story, you can't play games unless you have a couch.

I care. And so do a lot of people. What a stupid thing to say.

The port wasn't that bad, but people unrealistically expected to be able to crank the settings with the hardware at the time and have it run better than the console versions which were on low/med at half the resolution and still ran poor.
LA Noire uses a different, custom engine so it could go either way.

Indeed. I bought a PS3 and RDR was the first game I got for it. The controls frustrated me to the point where I had no desire left to play the game. I was spoiled by the mouse/kb controls in GTA4
-
-
Yay!... Wait, what online authentication service will imprison this title? It's a given, considering there's DLC, and considering that 2K hasn't released a major PC title in the past few years without a tie-in to GFWL or Steam.

This was expected and preferred.

Fuck yes. Guess i'm holding off on this until then.
