The re-master hits Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch on November 14th. And hey, if they made a sequel to Bully (and called it something else and not something as provocative that would invite controversy), that wouldn’t be the worst thing either.Ĭheck out the L.A. The concept is sound and I think more diversity in open world games is a good thing.
My hope is that this recent re-release is Rockstar testing the waters to see if a sequel is a viable option, and I hope that they go for it. Now your options are “Good Cop”, “Bad Cop”, and “Accuse”, which I guess is slightly better. In the original version, your character, Cole Phelps (Ken Cosgrove from Mad Men!), could interrogate witnesses with the options “Truth”, “Doubt” or “Lie”, which wasn’t entirely clear and usually the “Doubt” option made Phelps come off like a totally weirdo. The new game will arrive on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch along with slightly tweaked gameplay. Noire prepping for release on the Nintendo Switch for the very first time in the history of gaming, some new info has been made available that reveals one major way that L.A. It’s a good idea, but the stories and the gameplay doesn’t live up to the promise.īut Rockstar still thinks there could be interest in the game and they’re re-releasing it on next-gen consoles as a remastered version. Unfortunately, the execution of that concept hinges on trying to pull facial expressions out of the Uncanny Valley to detect whether or not certain characters are lying.
I love the setting and the concept-you play a detective trying to solve crimes in post-WWII Los Angeles and the tone draws heavily from film noir.
Noire is one of the most frustrating video games I’ve ever played.
