I agree about Red Dead Redemption but one can hope but some good games like Halo 2 remain beyond the pale... ah well, that is good news about LA Noir which looks to be the new Vampire the Masquerade.

Lol, metaphors rule1 And Vampires The Masquerade Bloodlines was an excellent game, although I don't see how the two are connected.

So I'm luke-warm on this. I'm much more stoked about Skyrim and Battlefield 3 (thinking PC upgrade too). I might just also "borrow" my boy's Xbox and play Red Dead Redemption, even though I haven't used a game pad in years. Wonder if Xbox works with my HD monitor. I have no video plug-ins.

I know quite a few people who finished this game and their reaction was the same. It seems 90% of their budget went on facial animation and the rest was split between voice acting and storywriting. Apparently it 'picks up' near the end, but that's barely enough for such a talked-about game.

He was saying something about that he enjoyed the game because he approached it like an AG and not another installment of GTA.

Status : Offline | Yes, I saw it too, but wasn't too sure about that one. Not sure who posted that one (or more than one?) that disappeared in the easyID thread, but I'm pretty sure about the one Lucien posted, because I'm paying particular attention to this specific game.
Do you know who posted in the easy ID thread, CB - and no, you're not crazy, I definitely saw something had disappeared there as well.

What I said was that the only people i've heard that were dissapointed in the game were the ones that treated it like a Grand Theft Auto game.
There is an open world of LA to drive around in, but it's not all that necessary to do it. You can't speed around causing damage as you get penalised for it after every case. You can't pull your gun out and shoot people unless the case requires you to shoot and all the "action" sequences have an option to skip without penalty if you fail them twice.
You can also fast travel between all the locations by having your partner drive.
In this way it felt very much like an adventure game because you would get the intro to the case, walk to the car and fast travel to the murder scene search fro clues, talk to witnesses etc then fast travel to where ever the clues take you to solve the crime.
There are only a few missions that end in car chases or shoot outs that require a more direect approach, but most cases are solved by interrogation and presenting the correct clues at the correct time.
It even grades you at the end with how many clues you found, how many interrogation questions you got right and docks you points for damage to the city etc.
Personally I loved the game. The noir atmosphere, the story, the facial animations etc all made up to a fantastic game.
It also leads into possibilities of loads of extra DLC cases etc. I imagine a similar type game police procedural with weekly case releases like a TV show. That would be cool.

Reviews have been warm, so I'm looking forward to seeing the lip sync and all that, plus the noir-fest. Mostly, I'm very happy it is coming to PC. I"ll support that.

It's not really "lip sync" per se, it's the real actors heads. All of the actors facial expressions, etc are done by them and the technology they use takes their real head and places it into a mesh that they can use in the game, onto a mo-cap body.
Similar to how they did Avatar, but even mor eso because they capture the entire face and don't have to use an animator to touch it all up like they had to do with Avatar.
