L.A. Noire Gameplay Video – “Orientation”
As if we weren’t excited enough for the next game from the hit factory that is Rockstar Games – L.A. Noire – the guys at Team Bondi have just uploaded the first in a series of in-depth gameplay videos, showing off what the title can do. The video, “Orientation”, takes a look at the game’s core mechanics and gives us a closer look at how players will search for clues, put witnesses under the spotlight in interrogations, and get to the gritty action in bar-room brawls and classic shootouts.
The trailer below goes about showing how the detective skills, intuition and cunning of main character Lt. Phelps will be key in making or breaking each case – and it is impressively composed entirely of in-game footage. Take a look at the footage for yourself and join the discussion in our forums.
L.A. Noire is due for release on 17th May in North America and 20th May in Europe. It is being developed for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Check this space for more behind-the-scenes features from Rockstar Games.

If I'm not playing on a good Adventure Game - still longing for the long-past Golden Age of the genre, when Lucasarts and Sierra ruled supreme - you might find me searching for a local arcade, in the hopes that it still houses titles such as Sunset Riders or WindJammers.
