L.A. Noire

Rockstar: L.A. Noire is not a sandbox game

Rockstar Games has made a name for itself with open-world games such as the Grand Theft Auto series and Red Dead Redemption. They are going in a new direction with L.A. Noire for the PS3 and Xbox 360 though with the player taking on the role of a cop in the Los Angeles of 1947. While the game is open-ended, Rockstar doesn't want to call it a sandbox game.

 

"Well, this isn’t really a sandbox game," Rockstar's Jeronimo Barrera tells The Telegraph. "You’re not going to go out and create your own gameplay. This is story-driven. The world is open for the player to explore and there are activities which may allow you to deviate from the straight and narrow – for example, on the way to a crime-scene you may get a call that a bank heist is in progress and you may want to head over there and stop it. You can explore the city and find LA landmarks and such.

 

"The city is a backdrop to the story and the crimes in the plot and the overall narrative arch, rather than a playground"

 

The main goal for Rockstar to achieve with L.A. Noire to connect the characters in the game with the player through the performances and get the players to do more than pull a trigger. Instead, the game is set to be paced like a TV crime drama with cases that can last up to an hour as players find clues and find out who is lying. There will be bursts of action though such as chasing down suspects.

 

Rockstar says they are taking a risk with L.A. Noire but it's hard to say they haven't done that before. Many questioned whether a western game would work before Red Dead Redemption went on to win many game of the year awards. In the case of their latest risk-taking adventure, Barrera says, "We’re definitely blurring the lines now. I want this game to be the flashpoint where people start to think of games and film as being on the same level as entertainment, because I’m confident they already are."

 

L.A. Noire is scheduled to released sometime in the second quarter of 2011.

na kad ir kokie butu ju vadinami open world GTA 4 ,ar RDD ,vistiek nieko negali daryt daugiau nei tau leidzia misijos.na beveik nieko. pvz RDD na nezinau nieko idomaus be pagr story ten nerandu ka veikt,vykdyt tu klaustuku uzduotis tai ten kvailystes kazkokios. GTA 4 irgi vadint open world ok,gali vaziuot kut nori, bet velgi ,GTA SA buvo labiau open world, ar GTA Vice City. daugiau visko buvo ka veikt be pagr misiju tikrai nei GTA 4. juk negali nei masinu pardavinet ,ir taip uzdirbt, nei namu pirkt, na nieko siaip daug negali ,nei tiunint masinu, nei sportuot. tai vadint tuos open worldais galima tada taip ir LA noire vadint openworld kai tau leis biski kazka nuveikt mieste be pagrindiniu misiju ,bet taip minimaliai bus ,kaip ir MAfia 2 buvo ,ten jau maziau negali turbut but kaip MAfia 2 buvo, bet ok eini per story ir jei jis geras tai turi gera laika prie zaidimo. ogaletu but side questu aisku, labiau jaustumeis kad nesi suvarzytas, idomiausia kad miesta tai jie sukuria visal laisvai vazinet,bet jei nera ka ten veikt tai kam man vazinet. pvz MAfia 2 turbut puses mapo net nesu mates ,ir puses masinu net nemaciau tikriausiai. kam reikejo tai kurt tada. jei veda per story ir paziuri kad jau persikelei toliau ir nieko neliko kas buvo pries tai. o is detektyvo tai butu galima juk tokiu side questu pridaryt,ten kad ir kvailu kaip rasti dingusia kate ar suni, ar pasekt kieno nors zmona. na ok bus kaip bus aisku. gal ir nereikia to sandbox kai nera jame ka veikt is tikro.

kazkaip galvoju ar tos veido israiskos ju mum nesisapnuos veliau..na kazkaip pamenat Max Payne veido israiskas ? ten tai buvo irgi veidelis kurio niekad nepamirsim. bet cia bus tos grimasos visos. na svarbu kad pats zaidimas butu idomus irgi.o ne tik i veidus ju ziuret visa laika.
