You mean to tell me that I could live out my fantasy of being a mid-20th century hardboiled detective in the same vein as Phillip Marlowe or Sam Spade? Sign me the fuck up. Hard drinking and fast talking tough guys, dangerous dames, etc. etc.

Rockstar games killing it as usual.

Looks pretty sick, sort of like Chinatown and LA Confidential in a game

And im almost 100% sure the main character is based off the "Mad Men" actor who plays Ken Cosgrove

I said the same exact thing. I don't think he has the world weary look of a hardboiled dick though. Still, this game is going to be the shit

hyped for this.

isn't the guy from mad men doing the voice acting for the main character?

Looks like it will be amazing. Can't wait to check it out.

That is indeed him. Some sort of new facial expression motion capture technology. I don't believe the game will be free roam in the same style as GTA and RedDead though. But should still be extremely fun.

I need something new not like gta4

Smell Good · « **Reply #13 on:** April 19, 2011, 06:41:17 PM »

I'm quietly anticipating this one.

It's on my list of 2011 titles that I'm buying. I've been off of videogames for long time.

Reggie Nobles · « **Reply #14 on:** May 16, 2011, 10:16:04 AM »

HYPE!!!! Picking up my copy tomorrow.

Smell Good · « **Reply #15 on:** May 16, 2011, 01:56:42 PM »

Yup, picking it up after work tomorrow.

carlwinslow · « **Reply #16 on:** May 16, 2011, 04:38:46 PM »

gettin minez at midnight

Mooley · « **Reply #17 on:** May 16, 2011, 09:29:24 PM »

Figures the game comes out the week I have a ton of other stuff I need to be working on. Gonna pick it up tomorrow regardless, hopefully I can squeeze a few hours in somewhere.

ice nine · « **Reply #18 on:** May 16, 2011, 10:20:22 PM »

seems like a good idea done badly judging by that video about the technology. i guess it could just be the acting but it looks fucked, way overdone with the faces. that being said i can see it becoming awesome in the future when it gets tweaked etc.

frisco · « **Reply #19 on:** May 16, 2011, 11:23:14 PM »

Watched a bunch of reviews, seems this game is a little misleading from the trailers

It is not similar to Red Dead Redemption, it is in a way, but not in the same sense that you can go around blasting random people and killing anyone. You can't pull out your gun unless you need it specifically for a mission. Even when driving, you can't hit people or lamp posts without getting a poor "case rating" at the end of any mission.

It has roughly a 12 hour campaign and is much more linear than Red Dead or GTA. The game is heavily focused on detective work and investigation, apparently is gets slow paced at times.

Regardless, I will be buying this game. The reviews have all been very strong, and I like the idea of going through a crime scene for clues.

Feels like this will be a lot like Heavy Rain but Sandbox style and set in the 40's

Stoked

got my copy. game is really sick. totally different from anything i've ever played.

tobey · « **Reply #21 on:** May 17, 2011, 05:11:08 AM »

FUCKKKK i was going to get it at midnight then fell asleep, now i have to wait after work

Mooley · « **Reply #22 on:** May 17, 2011, 03:28:55 PM »

Only had time to play through the tutorial missions before I had to get going on school stuff. Seems interesting that you spend such little time as a beat cop. I thought they'd have you on the ground for the while feeling the city out before they had you in a department going case to case. Doesn't seem like you get too involved with the city as a whole which is kind of a shame because exploration was always among my favourite aspects of the other Rockstar games. Definitely not opposed to a badass approach to a point/click adventure game though.

cops keep firing · « **Reply #23 on:** May 18, 2011, 02:02:53 AM »

its been raining here so i picked up a copy and got a solid 5/6 hour session in.
definitely agree with mooley on the lack of exploration/engagement with the city because its huge.
i wish they would have incorporated that in somehow. overall its pretty impressive though.
visually stunning and has an engaging story line. as an avid gamer and enthusiast, i think the bar
is set pretty high and i'm looking forward to seeing how this will shape games in the future.
i wouldn't recommend this game to anyone who thinks it'll be anything like gta or red dead redemption
but definitely worth checking out.

picking this fucker up (rental) today, gone through so many fucking games since breaking my arm it's crazy and I'm fast running out of cash

Toivo · « **Reply #25 on:** May 19, 2011, 03:10:05 AM »

those this game have any replay value at all?

Chipper · « **Reply #26 on:** May 19, 2011, 06:57:37 AM »

This game is really unlike any game I've played. so far I'm only ranked ten but I love having to search for clues and reading peoples facial expressions when asking them questions. Plus the map is huge.

Has anyone come across this yet? I haven't.

carlwinslow · « **Reply #27 on:** May 19, 2011, 04:48:04 PM »

beat it today..weak ending

Reggie Nobles · « **Reply #28 on:** May 19, 2011, 07:46:41 PM »

Played up till the end of disc 1 so far. It seems with games like these the endings are always somewhat underwhelming.

Mooley · « **Reply #29 on:** May 20, 2011, 02:38:11 AM »

Been playing it in the black and white mode, so stoked.
