It channels an entire sub-genre of film and literature in its atmosphere and sound design, meaning a po-faced pursuit of authenticity is essential to the game’s internal believability and the serious tone it maintains throughout. The purpose of this accuracy seems simple: the game is closely tied to its setting in terms of both time and place. County Art Museum in particular strives for an accurate representation of the building’s facade. landmarks to cement this vision: the L.A. Great attention was paid to the placement and design of well-known L.A. Team Bondi relied on an enormous cache of photos of the city taken from a biplane in the 1920s,with one developer calling them tantamount to “satellite photography” in their quest to map out the city centre and some outlying districts (Wilshire and Hollywood).
It was against this backdrop that a commitment to crafting a relatively faithful, believable recreation of Los Angeles became central to the game’s early development. Noire was the first and only title developed by Team Bondi, whose dubious working practices and awkward relationship with their publishing partner, Rockstar, have been covered extensively by many more legitimate outlets than this one. The main thing I want to talk about here is authenticity: the game’s pursuit of it promotion of it in the run up to the game’s release and ultimately its contribution in making L.A. Noire, but instead unpack and try to make sense of the electrostatic fuzz of contrasting and contradictory impressions I have of this game. However, oftentimes recommendations and reviews can become too bogged-down in a holistic assessment of everything the game does right (and wrong) to really delve into the minutiae of what makes the game so playable, or something you should avoid. If you’re here for a review, version specific or otherwise, I’ll be brief: L.A. It’s been an enjoyable return, plodd ing and driving around Los Angeles’ streets, though one that is littered with frame drops, stutter, and numerous other technical quirks that also drew attention at its original 7th generation console release.
