| patapon said: BTW, I'm not sure I understand what you mean by the bolded. Rockstar makes a very particular type of experience that all their games have elements of EX: Bully to GTA to RDR etc. I expect this game to end up very relatable to past offerings |
And I wouldn't be hyped at all if it was anything like that. L.A. Noire has an open world, but it's a narrative driven one. There isn't a bunch of things you can do on the sideline, it's just a world you can explore. It's there mainly as a backdrop for the story, with almost no side missions. There'll be a few, but they'll be few and far between.
The meat of the game is in the detective work, where you interrogate witnesses, suspects, etc., and you investigate crime scenes to find evidence. It's all about solving the crimes.
The game started out as a PS3 exclusive and Sony was paying for the development. I don't know how, but somehow it ended up with Rockstar as the publisher after some time. L.A. Noire is no more a Rockstar game then Starcraft II is an Activision game.
