LA Noire, still looking like a pro-ass game. The graphics for the people and their movements are jaw-dropping, can't wait for this game to hit. And it's out really soon too!

I like that the most deadly weapon in his arsenal is his notebook, just like in hot fuzz.

I agree, the actual actors' performances are what really gets me hyped up. The immersion of a video game combined with the quality of an HBO show's plot and characters? Yes please.

But what if it is? But what if it is?? 
 
I am far too excited for this game: I am not sure it could live up to my expectations at this point, but I sure hope it's a satisfying title.

Thing about RDR and GTAIV was that I enjoyed the story telling far more than the actual gameplay itself. Since this is now (hopefully) mostly investigation into each story mission and less about gunplay, I am totally stoked about this game.

This game looks really interesting, but that voice over was cheesy as Hell. 
Sounded like the voice that'll give you information before you get on a ride at Disney.

Uncanny valley, but I can see myself getting over that in exchange for everything else in the game.

Looks better everytime they realease new footage. Have been waiting for this kind of investigative crime game so long. Only two months now. Seems like Rockstar has another sure hit on their hands (just like red dead last year.)

I normally just by used games because $60 is way too much to pay for something I'll put down forever a week or two later, but this just might be a day one purchase. A game this cutting edge should be rewarded.

I like how you can tell who that actors are by the character facials. The only thing I'm not really liking is that they had to do things twice, once for body motion, and another for facial. So they're both seperate and I don't know if it'll match entirely each time. I hope this game is great, and I think it's looking amazing so far, but is it just me, or does a lot of what's been shown so far all just seem too much like a one trick pony? Or... four trick pony. Investigate, interrogate, drive, shoot, investigate, interrogate, drive, shoot, and so on in a different order.

this game looks incredible, I don't know if it'll be fun, but it's beautiful to look at, and the best facial animations I've ever seen.  And it's good they realize there has to be great voice acting to go with a great visual performance.  That's what I found odd about Heavy Rain, looked great, but only occasionally did the voice fit the face.

I think combat has been the weakest part of all Rockstar games. I really hope the narrative is about 90% of the game and the combat is just a minor role.

It looks like fun. I wonder how interactive it'll be though and how much of it will simply be cut-scenes.

It looks like you have an infinite amount of time to make choices, which is kind of weak from an immersion perspective.

But I must say I'm a bit worried there will be to much hand holding in the game it diden't seem like there was alot of help when on a crimescene, and in the interregation scenes basicly when people have said anything you have to decide if you belive them or not, and prove it, it's a bit like Ace Atourney, from the previews I have read around on the net, kotaku and so on.
 
But I'll guess I just have to see when the game is out 8-)

Sure is. I feel that every time I see a new trailer I see a new familiar face, like him (Greg Grunberg) and John Noble.

Weirdly, the weakest part of this game looks to be the combat. Will be interesting to see how they balance it out with the narrative stuff.
