It's another thing Microsoft have some sort of patent on. Same as cross game chat. Sony either have to pay a licencing fee to Microsoft or find another way around it. Having it being done through the games rather than system software is their away around it, but it means that it's up to the developer to support it and most don't as it's extra work with no advantage on their end. Mainly first and second party games have it I think.

Ah thanks for clearing that up man. Thats a pity, was hoping they might include it in future as they said they are trying to give fans what they've wanted because of the psn going down.

How about the honsest truth to customers. That'd be a nice change for sony.

How long do ye think before we see the dlc up on the psn store/xbox live?

blaa85 · 09-05-2011 12:39pm

With Sony now saying that psn is down until end of May, that will rule out using any bonus dlc from pre-orders for a bit.

I can't find it now when I want it , but there was a comment where one of the dev's alluded to as much saying something regards there being over 400 faces of actors in the game making it so big.

Could be the fact that there is over 5 hours of cutscenes.

Finally decided to preorder off gamesnash,express delivery which cost 8.50 and after words I checked gamestop and they were charging 5.50 for express

Also came across this on wiki

There are said to be about 22 cases. This does not include the pre-order content "A Slip of the Tongue" and "The Naked City"[1]. So far, twelve cases, including pre-order bonuses, have been revealed. There will also be Unassigned Cases

Why did you order express from GamesNash? I've never been left waiting for a game from them, sometimes you'll get stuff the day before release day.

I'd say the 3 disks are for the facial technology, only thing that makes sense to me.....

You're right. The motion capture stuff is the main thing taking up space on the discs. It's a new thing and I'm sure they've a long way to go before they get somewhere new and great when it comes to optimising that technology.

CVG have a hands-on preview

Edit: Everything that was here was wrong/misleading. Keep Calm and Carry On.

Reserved. Getting it for 3 euro if i hand in three games from a list, so the guy behind the counter told me anyway. We shall see if that happens.

First time poster, but hivemind.

Im trading in three games as well to get LA Noire. Prebooked too.

Trading in The Saboteur, Mortal Kombat (good game but bored of it already), and Uncharted 2.

Not a bad deal but gamestop do seriously undervalue games

Welcome to Boards man, cheers!

Man, look at the detail in that pic. The dust and dirt on the windows. The pintstriped on their suites. The threadlines/textures on the band on their fedoras.

Brilliant.

Anyone know what deal HMV are doing for this if you preorder, if you get anything extra like DLC with the game or anything? Also how much are they charging for the game.

grizzly · 10-05-2011 7:58pm

AFAIK Gamestop are the only Irish retailer doing pre-order DLC.

Zero-Cool · 10-05-2011 8:13pm

HMV don't have an DLC. Game are giving the Naked City DLC.

Launch trailer will be out tomorrow at 5pm.

Sl!mCharles · 10-05-2011 8:31pm

So excited. I remember this time last year, it was Red Dead hype.

I hope this game delivers as much as that did

don't say that man, I was on that hype train as well and didn't like red dead at all. Boring mission structure had me going man. Can't wait to try the CSI like crime scenes!

Zero-Cool · 10-05-2011 8:35pm

i'm actually looking forward to going on the platinum trophy hunt! Really want to platinum this game

calex71 · 11-05-2011 12:16am

Thats fair enough dood, I personally lurved it, though mainly because of the huge world and exploration involved.

The story wasn't amazing imo, the missions may not have been groundbreakingly original, but the game world is near-perfect in terms of atmosphere, for me anyway. Was playing for a bit there earlier

But yessir the crime scenes in Noire look slick. Gonna be watching LA Confidential the night before

Zero-Cool · 11-05-2011 1:21am

Aw ya, the world and atmosphere was spot on, just after GTA4 with boring missions as well, looked like R* lost their creativity with missions but looks like this has some great cases altogether!

I never saw that and I like Noire (especially modern noire) gonna give this a watch. Official site has a list of films to get you in the mood and a set of official la noire short stories are being released (1st one can be downloaded for free
