Ostatnio pisaliśmy o gameplayu jak będzie wyglądał, że nie chcesz żeby to był sandbox itd. To nie masz chyba czego się bać ;], przeczytaj sobie ten preview od Joystiqa co wkleił Sprite. Chyba najlepszy preview jaki się ukazał o L.A. Noire bo opisuje dokładnie jak wygląda gameplay zresztą w ogóle szczegółowo opisuje grę. Wygląda na to, że nie będzie to typowy sandbox.
"As with Rockstar's other games this generation, LA Noire looks, sounds, and feels expensive. The level of detail in the massive environments, coupled with the copious servings of motion-captured dialogue remind me that Rockstar has spared no expense creating the game. At this point, we expect nothing less. Seeing your character race around a realistically-rendered Los Angeles, mini-map in the corner, evokes a more-than-familiar feeling."
"But, LA Noire isn't Grand Theft Auto set in the 1940s. It's not Red Dead Redemption without horses. Perhaps the best comparison I can offer is this: it's a big-budget, M-rated Phoenix Wright."
"There's no "morality" system because he, simply put, plays by all the rules. (Don't bother trying to mow down pedestrians GTA-style.) As a man of the law, you'll do your job the right way: scanning environments for evidence, interviewing suspects, and using violence only when there's a clear and present danger. "He is kind of on the straight and narrow, but that won't mean he won't rough someone up if he needs to," a Rockstar rep said. I didn't see Phelps draw a gun until the end of the mission, about an hour-long affair."
"You can peruse your notes and go over case details, but the best course of action would be to investigate the crime scene. There are no immediate visual cues as to what you should look for, but you can listen to the music for some hints on where to go. As you near a piece of evidence, you'll hear a piano chime, and your controller will rumble -- provided you haven't opted out of these aides. (PS3 owners, make sure you're using a DualShock controller!)"
"When you pick up evidence, you'll be able to scan it for details. Depending on the object, you can interact with it, rotate it, and look closer. If something will be helpful in your investigation, it will appear in your notebook. In the car, Phelps discovers not only the murder "weapon," but a number of interesting items left behind in the car: a letter from Hamilton's mom, warning her of the dangers of Hollywood, and a torn piece of underwear. "Get a semen sample," Phelps tells another cop on the scene."
"Once you think you've collected enough evidence, you'll move on to the heart of the game: interrogation. During conversation, you're given a number of options: believe, doubt, disbelieve. Your witness and victim, McCarthy, is obviously hiding something. Hold it! But you can't accuse someone of lying without evidence. You'll have to combine your sleuthing instincts with your ability to read people to find the best time to "break" someone and get closer to the truth."
Co mnie ucieszyło:
"When I first saw the LA Noire trailer, I shared the same question that many of you had: "Why didn't they show actual gameplay in this trailer?" Having seen the game in action, I can say that the trailer is the gameplay."
"LA Noire sets a new benchmark in real-time human animation, besting the recent efforts of Uncharted and Heavy Rain."
"The fact that every character in the game has a real human performance behind it makes the lengthy development cycle make so much sense"
Sposób narracji/gameplay jak w Mafii:
"Detective work and interrogations are the focus of the game, meaning all the usual dressings you may expect from a Rockstar game take a back seat. You'll be able to skip driving from point to point, for example, by opting to sit in the passenger seat instead of the driver's seat. There are some "free roam" missions you can do, usually involving smaller crimes, but the primary focus of the game is to be a part of the narrative. This virtual LA isn't really meant to be a sandbox for you to play in."
"Not every case is going to play out like this," a Rockstar rep told us. Interestingly, all of the cases you'll work on in the game are based on real-life events (although names and specific details have been changed; and some have been re-worked to have different endings). These real-world stories offer a fascinating glimpse into the corruption and violence that plagued 1940s Los Angeles."
I najlepsze:
"LA Noire is quite possibly the most "mature" game to come out of Rockstar."
