L.A. Noire blends crime-solving, clue-finding, car chases and shoot-outs.
Rockstar Games today announced that L.A. Noire is expected to launch on both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on May 17, 2011 in North America and May 20, 2011 in Europe.
Set amid the violence and corruption of post-World War II Los Angeles, L.A. Noire is a crime thriller that blends crime-solving, clue-finding, car chases and shoot-outs with interrogation-based gameplay that will allow players to read characters' emotions in order to reveal the truth.
Players will take on the role of Cole Phelps, a decorated war veteran, who rises through the ranks of the LAPD by solving a series of gruesome murders and other crimes that bring him face-to-face with the dark heart of Los Angeles during Hollywood's Golden Age.
L.A. Noire employs new MotionScan performance-scanning technology which utilizes 32 high-definition cameras to capture actors' faces in 3D, transferring every aspect of their performance into the game, enabling players for the first time to lip-read in-game characters and to read every facial expression down to the finest detail.
