Earlier this year, Rockstar confirmed that its Rockstar Leeds studio would be porting Team Bondi's open-world crime-solving title L.A. Noire to PCs sometime before the end of the year.

Now the Czech site of Eurogamer is reporting a spotting of an L.A. Noire Complete Edition for release in November in the Czech Republic.

Yea, I think I'll avoid Rockstar's bugfest console ports. Plus it'll probably require Steam, Games for Windows, Rockstar Social Network, and 5 magazine subscriptions to sign in.

Yeah, pity, you did forget Gamespy though. I will pick it up at some point.

I'm still hoping they port Heavy Rain to the PC some day...seems unlikely though. And I'm not gonna buy a 51454 million € PS3 for one or two games. :roll:

Saw it on RPS. Weird as hell to see them actually 'acting out' the bloopers in the motion capturing/face capturing system.

Just to say I finished this game a few days ago. I'd played through 70% of it when I was still in Belgium but then put it on hold as I didn't have my desktop here. So I played through the remainder of the game and finished it.

Mixed feelings...the game has a LOT going for it. The acting, the casework, the atmosphere, it's all there. It also offers a way to cut out a lot of action stuff if you're not interested in that. Don't want to spend 5 minutes driving between locations every time? You can let your partner drive. Die a few times on a particular action scene or fail a chase scene a few times? You can just skip it. I thought it was nice, as the detective work is by far the most enjoyable part of the game.

I would play it on the couch with a glass of wine, methodically searching scenes for evidence and then grilling witnesss and suspects. Turns out I was quite good at the former, but not so good at the latter. :roll:

Anyway, what bugged me how the game somewhat hurriedly wrapped the overarching story up in the last third. The first half of the game had excellent pacing, then there was a somewhat longish middle part without too much evolution and then BANG the finale starts. So I dunno. You switch desks a few times - traffic, homicide, vice, arson - and I must say the homicide missions were by far my favorite. Dealing with murders and serial killers is just a lot more interesting than solving drug trafficking and house fires, unsurprisingly.

So in close, enjoyed the game, has great production values and aspirations, but falls apart a little at the end.

I don't know why, but reading that made me want to play Police Quest.

Oh, no way, I'm too much of a graphics whore. I've love a faithful recreation of police quest 1 though.
