With yesterdays release of L.A. Noire's first two downloadable cases, "The Naked City" and "A Slip of the Tongue", comes questions on Team Bondi's future support with the game. There's "Nicholson Electroplating Disaster"  on June 21, then "Reefer Madness" on July 12, but what next? Additional cases involving Phelps seems unlikely, since that would mean getting a hold of his busy real-life counterpart, Aaron Staten. 
 
But what about the less busy Michael McGrady, aka Rusty? We've played good cop, now let us play bad cop. Or bad guy. Mickey Cohen's shady activities would make for an excellent story, and perhaps even add a sorely missed option to the interrogation system: 

• Truth
• Doubt
• Lie
• Icepick

They'll probably just keep adding more cases which I'm completely fine with, although adding new playable characters would be a nice touch as well (for the DLC missions).

I foresee DLC continuing in the way it's begun - episodic case releases. The game is practically a serial detective drama, anyway, so why not reinforce that with a new case/episode every month or two? That is, assuming it carries on at all. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if this is all the DLC we'll see for L.A. Noire.

@EVO: As they said on the bombcast there are apparently two desks which were cut, and the DLC cases are from existing desks, it's unknown how far they've got with the other 2 desks(did they only capture it or animated some stuff and made some art assets and afterwards decided to scrap them or did they never got past the storyboard?)

I doubt we'll see anything from the cut desks, as it'd probably mess up the the story. But come to think of it, what happened during those 6 months we skipped?

I'd love to see a monthly episodic thing but I don't think we'll be seeing it this time around. My bet is now that Take Two is calling it a succesfull franchise and subscription models are popping up everywhere they'll set up the sequal as both a standalone story and a medium for seasons of content. Come on everyone let's stick it to this non-interactive tv hokem.

Phelps was working in Burglary? That's what we're told at the start of Homicide.

I'd love to have a playable Burglary department. No doubt your partner would be that cop who's voiced by the same dood who played Garrus.

I'd rather see a collection of cases than individual cases, but whatever. Sad to hear that they cut two desks, but I can imagine the reasons why.

More than anything I want the burglary desk, just because it was originally intended to be in the game, and it's still mentioned in the game.

I heard the ones they announced where the only DLC they had planned. 
I guess they will likely milk it and probably end up making some more un-announced DLC.  
Looking forward to getting it when I can connect to PSN properly.

All future DLC will be in non-talky format.

I'd imagine that we'd get these two individual cases for now, and come September / October we'll get a Undead Nightmare / Lost & Damed sized expansion with the Burglary / Bunko desks. Working on the Bunko / Fraud desk sounds like it could be fun.
