All joking aside, from these shots and short descriptions L.A. Noire is starting to sound a bit like Heavy Rain just placed back in the 40's. I'm just hoping that the shot of Phelps with a gun means that there will be more action than there was in Heavy Rain. By action I am talking more than just QTE for all the combat and shoot 'em up scenes. I can only hope that Rockstar is trying to meld the awesome crime drama side of things yet keep up with the fun of their other titles.
With no more flogging the molly (That's a phrase right?), here are those new shots I mentioned.
Onlookers gather at a family's tragedy. You'll need to analyze crime scenes like this one in detail and interview witnesses in order to figure out what happened.
1947 was one of the most violent years in the history of Los Angeles, with an unprecedented number of assaults, robberies and murders. Phelps inspects the body of a victim for clues.
Sizing up the suspects. Each successfully solved case propels Phelps higher up the ladder of the LAPD.
As a detective, Phelps' gun is a weapon of last resort. But Los Angeles is a dangerous place, and a successful detective makes enemies quickly.
