L.A. Noire no longer PS3 exclusive

Mag reveal confirms Xbox 360 release, "groundbreaking" facial animation
Rockstar's long-coming 1940s thriller, L.A. Noire is no longer a PlayStation 3 exclusive, a magazine reveal has confirmed.

A writer at US mag Game Informer - which has the black and white free-roamer on its cover - wrote: "To be clear, this is NOT a PS3 exclusive. Rockstar has another game called The Agent it announced last June that fulfills that role."

Thus far the title has been called a PlayStation 3 exclusive, with one (now blocked)
We'll bring you more details when we have them.

In your chubby little faces fanboys!

As an owner of all 3 consoles, I actually prefer exclusives as it stops the debate as to which console to get it for and generally means a more optomised game
Rob S London on 5 Feb '10
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS Very Happy and on another note when will you put the announcement that final fantasy versus is no longer a ps3 exclusive? destructoid reported it after a employee of sqaure enix let it slip lol
dorian2011 on 5 Feb '10
Old news. Sony dumped that game and went for Agent instead.

This place is gradually getting worse and worse with the Fanboys on both sides Sad !!

Just about every article about the PS3 or 360 is infested with the rabid ramblings of incoherent supposed Gamers.

This isnt Rangers v Celtic, Man Utd v Man City or Vila v Birmingham. This is Games for goodness sake, you know, that thing we all enjoy?

Dont get me wrong, its good to have a laugh and maybe take the Michael sometimes but the continuous spouting of drivel by certain people on here is tiring beyond belief.

Rant over. Im away to play a 'Game' to pass the time till Lost starts!!

I agree that there is a lot of fanboy stuff going on here, and it also means that legitimate comments get branded as fanboy even when they are not.
bazzatuk on 5 Feb '10
oh how i remember a fan boy using this game as evidene ps3 has btter game urgh
mafiahobo on 5 Feb '10
No wonder there's so much rampant fanboyism going on in the message board - Microsoft and Sony are actively encouraging it. By smugly announcing PS3 (and 360) exclusives the big two feed the fire.
If the gaming world were unified then there would be a clash of power and the medium as we know it would be destroyed. So, I think we're stuck with it.

To be fair quite a few of the sites encourage it as well, including CVG.

You can't really blame M$ and $ony for people being t**ts.
darry on 5 Feb '10
I can't believe all the 360 owners can now play a game that i wanted to on my ps3, some publishers are soo darn selfish Wink

So characters are going to have great looking faces big whoop, whats the gameplay like?
Adam81uk on 5 Feb '10
Sadly Stonecold it seems that these forums are stalked by sad fanboys who spend their days waiting for news items to pop up so they can slam, name call and make several other pointless remarks about things they normally know little about. At least there are some of us here who still enjoy gaming for well the fun of gaming Smile

On that note I picked up some amazing bargains today including: Punch Out for £6 Super Smash bros. brawl for £6 madworld for £7 and little kings story & burnout paridise Ultimate box set for a £10 each, all new as well. Plenty of gameplay to keep me going till next week at least Wink

I agree, although it's worth pointing out that football is also only a game, and people that get wound up and violent over it are, if it's possible, even more stupid than blind fanboys.

I see this news as nothing but a good thing, more people will get to enjoy the game. Good times.
Legrasse on 5 Feb '10
i agree with stonecoldmc and one more thing KEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
dorian2011 on 5 Feb '10
You're damaged goods, bitch!

oh a rangers fan eh? have a shimmy of this Wink

R-A-N-G-E-R-S
THAT SPELLS f**king DEBT TO ME WITH A KNICK KNACK PADDY WHACK THROW WALT A BONE OCEAN FINANCE ON THE PHONE
dorian2011 on 5 Feb '10
I disagree with Stonecold because people also enjoy football and get into fights all the time Wink

Although, the essence of what he is saying is true.

I figured this would be the case since I'm sure they wanted to take the heat off the fact that PS3 wasn't getting the GTA DLC...but now it is.
DevilsNeverCry on 5 Feb '10
Been waiting for information on this since I first read about it what, three years ago now? Good to see we'll finally be getting some; anything that sounds like an interactive James Ellroy novel is fine in my book. Smile

Not at all bothered that 360 are getting it - we're getting Episodes from Liberty City so they were owed one... in all seriousness though, happy that in the long term the Sony fanboys won't be able to brag about this one!
Chickstick on 5 Feb '10
@dorian2011erm bioware said mass effect 2 will never come to 360 bazza that code was only there cause they use the same game engine. and never rule out agent coming to the 360 lol who knows what the future brings

Jesus dorian2011 you really are an idiot.

You just said yourself in your post "Bioware said Mass Effect 2 will never come to 360 bazza", duh yah f**king idiot it's already on M$ 360!!! Rolling EyesLaughing

On to the news, Meh as long as they release the game at the same time I'm not bothered really about sharing it with M$'s 360.

Can't wait to hear about Agent though! Shocked
toolfan2007 on 5 Feb '10
oh s**t i meant mass effect 2 would never come to ps3, my bad late night at work 3 nights in a row get a day off 2moz Razz , working on a disturbing case lol and yeah agent sounds good, hope it comes 2 360 which it probally will if rockstar have sense.
dorian2011 on 5 Feb '10
Whoopy doo who cares if it is released on both machines its no big deal.

Also I'm a 360 owner and I honestly hope that Bioware and EA get round to publishing Mass Effect 1 & 2 on the PS3 as everybody deserves to play games this good no matter what console they own.

Peace out.
dazcarney on 5 Feb '10
if ms have anything to do with it mass effect will never see the light of day on ps3, if it does ms will just shame down sony at E3 like they do every year

on another note lookin forward too this game Very Happy
Miss_Wacy on 5 Feb '10
It's pretty much going to be a waste of money, even if Mass Effect is released on PS3 it will not sell well. Most of the people that want to play it already have, either on PS3 or on PC. It's really nice that PS3 exclusives get a PC release as well. Aint that right, JD? ;O

I think the day the console fanboy wars reach such a height of fervour that groups of them go out and fight each other on the terraces is the day that my life will have meaning again.

Imagine it:

"Oi listen, we spotted some Micrsoft outside the Kings Arms. Let's go with all the Sony boys round the back alley and charge 'em from behind."
sweatyBallacks? on 5 Feb '10
why did i already know this?,wasn't it said to be going to the 360 as well about a year ago?...and Rockstar said it was another game that was gonna be PS3 excusive(not sure if that was Agent as some have said,guess it is)

whatever the deal,it looks like Rockstar are really delivering some great games...Red dead redemption,GTA4 DLC,Max Payne 3,Agent,L.A.,Noire...what else have they got coming?,i feel as though i am missing a title
metallicorphan on 6 Feb '10
Typical. One news post and a relentless number of mindless morons run amok. Get over it. It's sad and pathetic. Who cares what console has better graphics? Neither can actually run games in HD. Enjoy the games forget about console brands and all the lies that surrounds them.
liveswired on 6 Feb '10
To be fair I read the story and started reading the comments and came to the realisation that the reason the average person still, despite the prevelance of videogames, call us geeks is because when a news story like this is posted we jump in our camps and start acting like idiots, CVG knows and encourages this but honestly, for whatever god you believe in sake, stop acting like fools and just love our hobby you damn cretins!!

Who gives a flaming goose about the platform, as long as we can all play it!

And I know this sounds harsh, but no-one, and I really mean no-one gives a flying f**k what forum dwellers think, you may be the most vocal but you dont have the disposable income consumers have! So either form some constructive criticism while waiting for your mum to get tea ready or get a job!

Mass Effect 2 already came out for the 360, and PC. What are you smoking fool? Shocked

The Agent is confirmed to be exclusive for the PS3. GTA IV DLC-type stuff may happen, but don't count on it.

No they call us geeks because some of us use words like cretins.

I think dorian legally has the right to take you out side and kick the s**t out of you for talking to him like that. I hope he does.
360_Fan on 6 Feb '10
Yeah I'm not surprised after hearing so many hints about this since 2007 but I might check this out on the PS3 when it comes out.
Niko. on 6 Feb '10
lookin good. i suppose that means LA noire is coming to xbox, or has it not been confirmed?
themozabeast on 6 Feb '10
Good news, really love the setting for this game, and really looking forward to this coming out.
_Marty_ on 6 Feb '10
LOL SVD where are ya?? I thought u said this had no chance of coming to another console Laughing
dangermou5e on 7 Feb '10
Couldn't really care less for this game, it doesn't look to great, well not my cup of tea anyway, would much rather see agent come to all platforms, but hey, guess that is a bit naive.
