Reviews: L.A. Noire Video Review

OMG! Brad beard! Kill it with fire! 

I think I need to see a quick look. Even after this review I'm not sure what this game really is.

The facial capture stuff is great, but the textures make their faces look more like soft clay than skin.

oh man that ending.. the music just made it that much better...

That ending was excellent. But man...watching this just makes me want to go play the game some more. I can tell this is one of those games that I'm rushing home to get back into every day. 

Good to hear a lot of positive buzz on this game.

Not because I was ever interested in L.A. Noire (I actually find the facial animation uncanny, but impressive) But because it's good to see the gaming community so positive about a game.

I was definitely on the fence about this one, but this review eased any worry I had. I'll have to pick this up at some point.

I'm loving the game so far, and I see someones growing their beard.

Jeff is a strange doodle, indeed!

The best thing about the facial tech, is knowing that it sets the bar high, and will only benefit next gen textures. 

Lmao, dat ending. Good stuff.

Haha, that ending was great. Really looking forward to playing this game, I have to wait till tomorrow though, stupid european release date.

Brad's beard reminds me of his younger, pre-GB days.

Awesome review and awesome ending!

Best ending EVER.

best ending ever!

Another review ending has me rolling with laughter. Great job Duders. Think I'll be picking this game up after I complete Portal 2 Co-op.

Oh my god, the strange doodle part was WAY too good.

literally best ending ever. you guys are pretty amazing lol

A lot of video reviews this year.

apparently the technique is incredibly expensive and we shouldn't expect to see it in much else for a bit

Liquid you will live forever in that drawing.

That ending was hilarious! And wow, the facial animation is ridiculously amazing, it's like the first time I saw Valve's Gman face demo.

I want to have that ending's babies.

Best. Video Ending. EVER

gotta love Jeff's cameo appearances in the latest video reviews :-)

LMAO great editing on the ending

video review - much better than the QL (it even has game sound this time ;)
L.A. Noire is still a pretty unrealistic game, if you think about it. Here you play the ONE CLEAN COP in this town of that era, when everyone else goes by the cop-rule: SHOOT FIRST & BUILD THE CASE LATER? haha

for Brad, I have only one word: s h a v e

Great ending to the video haha

Brad need not shave, beard is important for his children.

This game needs to sell a ton of copies and it needs a ton of clones. Sadly it's not out for the PC so I'm not interested.

Oh wow, that ending LMAO...

Does the game stand up even if you don't know anything about LA from that time period? I'm interested in it, but if winks and nods make up most of the meat in the game, I'm probably not going to buy it.

Perfect ending.

The ending is one of the greatest things on this site to date.

JEFF DONE IT!?

Bwahaha!!

That ending was genius!

That drawing always kills me. Reminds me of Napoleon Dynamite's drawings - has the same recognizable-but-horribly-disfigured feel.

I give Brad's beard 3 stars out of 5. Keep working, Shoemaker, you'll get there soon enough. You have the potential to grow a real 5 star classic.

Big fat "CASE FAILED" sign at 4:07

I've heard Brad say you can't fail a case about a million and a half times.

Great review Brad. 

End was simply epic!

Brilliant ending!

In every other video I've seen of this game, the faces looked incredibly strange, then I watch this and they all look so lifelike; what the hell? So glad to see that damn Jeff sketch keep popping up.

I'm gonna pick this up. Looks like a game I can get my teeth into. Good work, R*.
