LA Noire for PS4/XB1/Switch |OT| Good Cop, Bad Cop, Accuse
- Thread starter Cerium
- Start date
Need to grab this again. Still have my PS3 copy in the closet. Always loved the soundtrack to this game. Minor 9th is great listen.
Isn't ps4 base 1080p? That's what Switch is as well. Only 4k versions are pro and 1x
Fiance got this when opening up her Kindle Fire. Surprisingly it only references the Switch version:
Yeah they are pushing the Switch version hard on youtube as well. The R* upload of the Switch reveal trailer has 1.7m views because its a youtube ad. There is a separate 4k reveal trailer but only has 500k views. I think Nintendo is paying for some of this.
I'll click it next time the ad goes up! I imagine the Amazon store listing for it?
Thanks but never mind, I was wondering because in the US there is no Amazon listing for the new versions of LA Noire, but I see now you are from the UK...
You have to select your destination from the log book as well before you can get your partner to drive.
I'm in the Vice cases now, forgot how much I enjoyed the game. The unintentional humor and Cole when he is yelling at a POI he had just met and for no reason, hell most of the over the top acting from Cole during interrogations. I've seem to have gotten much better at driving since the last time I played, thanks to all the open world in the 6 years since I played last, on the PS3 pretty sure I killed more people driving than the murders I investigated. My hat keeps getting knocked off still...
Some of the things I still don't like, not being able to skip cutscenes BECAUSE when you fail it sometimes takes you back and have to replay and relisten to cutscenes – street crimes are the worst.
Had one issue on the remaster that I don't recall on the PS3… This happened to me three times – the game would say it was saving and I'd quit, when I log back on rolled me back – once was about 30-40 minutes, the entire finale of one of the traffic cases. I've started new cases and wait until I get the first save notification in the case before quitting, and of course no issues since then..so I just restart the case.

Absolutely love the setting and style. The actual detective gameplay is pretty lame though.
Felt as though I was stabbing in the dark for most of the interrogations or using the right evidence but for the wrong questions.
Knowing about the facial tells also spoiled it for me. The perps would often be so blatant that I thought I was usually walking into a trap.

Just started this and in the first Traffic case and I remember now what I hate most about this game.
You may have evidence against someone and hit accuse but then you will ask them something that you don't expect and they will ask you to prove it leading to an incorrect choice. Like they say one thing, you think "I have evidence against that" *hits accuse* "I know you (insert thing that may or may not even be related) and I have evidence to prove it" and it's something that I didn't think about or suspect.
I know that sounds vague but iirc, it felt like that a lot throughout the game when I played it originally on PS3. But oh well.
edit: also fuck at not being able to skip cutscenes or dialogue when retrying things >_<

I'd played some of LA Noire a couple years ago on my modest PC set-up. For whatever reason it ran like absolute balls, even though similar open world games performed fine. I remembered liking the game's premise and the more laid-back tone, so I bought it on Switch yesterday (along with a bigger SD card). So far, no complaints. Looks crisp on both TV and handheld. The framerate is a pretty consistent 30fps, though there are some minor dips when driving or when there's a lot going on.
I bought it physically, and the front of the box has the same "SD Card required" warning that NBA 2K18 has. However the update patch was apparently 7 gigs or less (even though the back of the box reads 14 gigs required). Not sure what that's about, but it appears that it could technically fit into internal memory fine. I just find that weird because I'd recently rented Doom, which did NOT have a warning on the front of the box, but wouldn't let me play it until I downloaded a huge patch which was that multiplayer addition everyone was talking about. Apparently I could have sidestepped it if I was in airplane mode? But I guess my rambling point is that the documentation regarding SD Card requirements on the Switch physical games needs to be improved upon.

I really really want to like this game, but it's got some major problems that hold me back from enjoying it. I bought it way back when it was initially released but there were quite few things that really turned me off from the game, namely the interrogations so I ended up never completing it. I decided to give it another chance, as I really loved the setting and voice acting, but I see this might never be for me unfortunately.
The interrogation system is the worst offender for me. It's just flat out illogical on occasion, some of the jumps in logic that the game expects you to come to with when asking certain questions are ridiculous. It's literally like a jump from A all the way to Z at times. In other cases, the questions you ask the suspect initially isn't relevent, and Cole will only bring up important details/questions when you hit "Lie", and meaning you might hit Truth or Doubt based on the initial questions/suspect response and screw up.
My other huge gripe is in something that there's no excuse for in 2017; Unskippable cutscenes. I believe the original had this problem as well, but since this is an remaster, there's no excuse why this wasn't added in. Lastly, the autosave is just terrible. It's very erratic, and you can never really tell when it's really saving your game. I went through a long stretch of a case visiting 2 different places, and doing 1 interrogation in the process, decided to call it quits and ended the game. However, When I returned I was back at the first location (Even though I saw the 'saving' message multiple times). If this was really a remaster, both of these problems should have been fixed upon re-release, neither should have been too hard to fix, especially the cutscene crap.
I'm so disappointed, since I love the setting and atmosphere that this game has, I love Noire and I feel they nailed the feeling of it perfectly. However, there's too many gameplay issues holding me back from truly loving this game. I might just keep pushing through just to complete, but I truly wish I could enjoy the complete package, and not just the setting/story.

Which version do you have? I have the Switch version, and there is no "Lie", "Truth"or "Doubt" prompts, now it's "Good Cop", "Bad Cop" and "Accuse", and these rather make sense. Also, I am able to skip cut scenes after they played once by clicking on the "A" button.
I have the PS4 version. It's listed as "Good cop, bad cop", but I was just referring to "Lie, Truth, or Doubt" as that's what it was originally was, and still makes sense to me practically. As far as the cutscenes go, there's no skipping them as far as I can tell, first time or otherwise. I've literally hit every button on the controller and it does nothing (Besides start, which pauses), which is beyond annoying as you can imagine.
Are yours saying you can skip cutscenes on Switch? Haven't bought it yet, as I'm still deciding, but this is a factor.
Started renting this today. My first impressions were not good; within 10 minutes I got stuck behind a crate and had to restart, and because the game has rubbish checkpoints I had to play from the beginning again.
Looks great on the Switch though. Hoping things get better from here.
EDIT: 5 mins later and my car crashed into a rail and got stuck. Fuck sake.

Thinking of getting this as I played about half but really weirded out by good cop bad cop Change. How is it? Does it make sense? I feel like it wouldn't work but just wondering, any thoughts?
I haven't played it in its past incarnation, but so far good cop bad cop works just about as expected for me.
Seems it'll be available for pick-up at the local library soon.
Should I bother with this remaster? Is it a big upgrade? Or would I be better served finally finishing the original version from last-gen, which I bought and hardly played?

It has always been on the charts top 15 in NA
Also if we get a new game, I would love Chicago Mobster scene game, or Baltimore 90s simliar to The Wire - having to tap phones and pagers tracking down the drug dealers of the city, or Miami Vice City 80s with the rise of coke.
is eshop for all of NA? Didnt show up in Canada for a week after launch
Appreciate the info and insight as always
I think Canada has a different chart, so i'm guessing I was seeing US charts
That's how I remember it. Not sure if anyone else can shed more light on it.
Wondered why the trophy percentages were so low, unless they're just late in the game
I played the DLC's cases through the campaign. They just came as a follow up, you wouldn't know it's a DLC unless you check the trophy.
