Release date set for Fri May 20th 2011

This looks like an awesome upcoming game developed by a new studio called Team Bondi and picked up for publishing by Rockstar.
The game is L.A Noire and is an interactive hard boiled detective story set in a "perfect reconstruction" of 1940's L.A (Over 180,000 images of postwar LA have been scanned and recreated in the game).

Trailer, gameplay etc:




Recently, some information about the technology behind the game was revealed: developers of Team Bondi, the Rockstar-owned company that makes the game, apparently uses a revolutionary technology for the “motion capture”, which dramatically improves facial animation. The developers even said that L.A. Noire will make the faces in Uncharted 2 and Mass Effect 2 look like “gold fish” in comparison.

Anyone who has ever seen and enjoyed a Humphrey Bogart movie or read a Raymond Chandler novel will surely be waiting for this with baited breath - I know I am :D

L.A. Noire blends action, detection and complex storytelling and draws players into an open-ended challenge to solve a series of gruesome murders. Set in a perfectly recreated Los Angeles before freeways, with a post-war backdrop of corruption, drugs and jazz, L.A. Noire will truly blend cinema and gaming.

This is starting to look like an amazing year for console games!

Added the new trailer to the OP, thanks for finding that, Sean, news has been pretty dead about this game the last couple of months but now I'm guessing it's going to start picking up again.
I really hope it's ready by Spring but would rather see it delayed than released broken like some of the latest games (looking at you Fallout New Vegas, I love the game but I do feel like a beta tester)

Rockstar are using some new technology to better map facial expressions and they've done a bang up job so far when looking at this trailer. Also at the end it says a Spring 2011 release. Good times. I've been following news of this game for months and cannot wait.

Really not being personal, but what is it with everyone wanting every game to have multiplayer all the time? I know it's relatively new to consoles, but really? Some games just don't need, or suit it.

Like I say, this isn't aimed at you personally, just a question to everyone really.
 
Have to say I'm pleased this went multi platform, I've been following it since it was announced as it seems to be My Kinda Game™

I was really impressed with the work they've done on facial animation to enhance the game.

With you on this.... What is it with multiplayer? Its nice to have certain games where you can play online but these types of games do not really need it...

anyhow, I'm looking forward to seeing how this game works. Sounds quite interesting.
