Rockstar Games recently announced new versions of the blockbuster detective
thriller L.A. Noire and these are scheduled to be released worldwide for the
PlayStation 4, Xbox One and the Nintendo Switch on November 14, 2017. The new
versions will feature the complete original game and all additional
downloadable content, but have specific differences.
The Nintendo Switch version will include specific enhancements such as
a Joy-Con mode with gesture-based gyroscopic controls, HD rumble and new wide
and over-the-shoulder camera angles as well as contextual touch screen controls
for portable detective work. On the other hand, a wide range of technical
enhancements headline the PS4 and Xbox One editions which will include 4K
resolution support that allows gamers to play the game on the PS4 Pro and Xbox
One X in stunning fashion.
Aside from the new console editions, Rockstar is also set to launch L.A.
Noire: The VR Case Files which will feature seven engrossing and self-contained
cases that are well-made for the virtual reality experience on their PCs using the
HTC Vive VR headset. These new developments would surely cater old fans of the
game as well as new ones who are not familiar with the game.
