Yeah listen to the consoles Rockstar and bring this to PC quick so we can show console gamers how to run a game properly.

I thought it was on Pc as well lol

Shows how much attention I paid to it

Seen advert for it this morning and thought - must get that, looks good - only to find it's console only. Boo !

It's not really the consoles fault, but down to the developers for essentially making Furmark for the PS3 and Xbox 360. Ok fair enough a typical PC probably has enough cooling power to stop itself from overheating but I'd imagine the fans would ramp up to pretty high speeds.

I think it's been blown out of proportion. I played it all day yesterday with no problems.

I want LA Noire to be on PC, it looks brilliant.

Is Sony's workaround "Point a household fan at your console"?

Just what those poor little consoles need to make them even more unreliable, a game that makes them overheat

Mybe a sign that the consoles are reaching the limits of what they are capable of. Time for some new ones Sony and Microsoft!

Is the engine a new one or modified GTA4 engine? I guess it runs a lot better than GTA4 on the consoles?

TheCenturion · 20 May 2011 at 10:55

It will come out on PC in a year or so, I can't imagine they'd keep it away from the PC, but who knows.

Oh what it isn't out on PC was looking to buy it!

The game was developed by Team Bondai on their own engine, it has no known parts of the Rage engine used for GTA and RDR since that is a Rockstar engine. Rockstar are really only the publisher though they helped get the 360 version up since Bondai had no 360 experience.

Originally the game was going to be a PS3 exclusive game and Sony apparently handed over about $40mill to help get it going. When one of the execs at SCEA got re assigned the leader of Team Bondai went to Sony and asked to go to Rockstar which Sony agreed to. Sony in return would get exclusivity to Rockstars "Agent".

The game started as a PS3 project and then ported to the 360. This is why its one of the few multi plat games that runs noticeably better on the PS3 over the 360.

I predict no further offerings from Rockstar on the PC.

I saw the CAD comic for LA Noire and instantly wanted it.
shame it's console-only.

Kosmiche · 20 May 2011 at 12:47

I'm still hoping for red dead redemption on pc but I think the time has past by now.

gronf · 20 May 2011 at 12:50

If it does come eventually, hopefully it'll be as well-optimised as GTA IV was.

the game flopped anyway why do pc games still care.

Red Dead Redemption flopped? No way! It's an experience not to be missed. The scenery is amazing and there are not many games where you get to ride a gee-gee.

this thread is about LA Noire. I've completed RDR it was good but overhyped like every rockstar game.
