L.A. Noire is a detective thriller developed by Team Bondi in Australia and published by Rockstar Games.
Are you buying L.A. Noire for the 360 or PS3 ?
360. I own both systems but I'm going with the 360 version because of achievements, the fact that XBL is up so I can compare progress with friends, and because I normally buy multiplats for 360. The fact that some of you guys actually would try to justify complaining about having to change a disc twice throughout a 40 hour game is ridiculous.
I find it really interesting that people keep saying they're getting it on 360 because those versions of RDR and GTA4 looked better, despite the fact that LA Noire isn't running on the same engine because Team Bondi developed their own and the PS3 has always been the lead dev.
I have it pre-ordered and fully paid for. But I honestly don't know which platform I pre-ordered it on. So it'll be a surprise to me when I pick it up on Tuesday. I like surprises.

Xbox 360, because I'm aggravated with Sony at the moment. People have an issue with disc swapping, still? Because in the course of a forty-hour + game, you'll have to waste two minutes switching discs? Whatever. That's still probably less time than even the relatively small mandatory install the PS3 version will require.
I'm interested in seeing if there are any significant differences between the two versions. I doubt it. In which case the choice between consoles comes down to DLC content (which I doubt is all that spectacular), and console preference. Differences between console versions have been hyped before, and they've always turned out to be insignificant.

PS3. Generally any games developed originally for one system I go with that system. The three-disc v. one disc thing and PS3 extras are nice bonuses.
" @bonorbitz: A lot of people cite GTA IV and RDR as examples of why they're getting the 360 version, namely that those games were better on 360. However, that has no impact on LA Noire because Team Bondi isn't using the RAGE engine, they're using an engine they developed themselves originally for the PS3 and ported to 360. So yeah, people don't seem to understand that. "I see. I was one of those people at first, to be honest. I looked around the net and read up on that GTA4 and RDR did run smoother on the 360, but that's before I found out about the whole Team Bondi/new engine thing. I also didn't realize that Noire was a PS3 exclusive at first because I didn't start following the game until recently. So, after doing some digging I ended up flipping my pre-order from 360 to PS3.

" i have both consoles, but i pick the ps3.although they're nice perks, i didn't pick ps3 because of 1 disk or extra things that i'll probably neglect.i just prefer keeping all multiplat on the ps3 while the 360 gets the exclusive games. "but why is that? i'm on the PS3 side of consoles, but it's common knowledge that multiplatform games always run better on the X360

I don't hate people for disliking disc changes, I just think that in the grand scheme of things, the difference in time between a pre-load installation sequence and a disc swap is negligible.

I've got the 360 version pre-ordered, but I can switch it up on release day if I so choose. I want to read some reviews before I pick it up just to see if any game has any technical issues or vastly superior graphical fidelty, which I'm sure isn't the case, but you never know. All things being equal I'll probably get the 360 version as I prefer the controller and I'd rather collect the achievements than trophies, but I can be swayed over to the PS3 version very easily with just one or two negative reviews of the 360 version.
" I'm unsure what I should get it on at this point. It's actually the only time I've been trying to figure out which console to get a multiplatform game on. Usually I go for 360 because I'm an achievement whore, but I'm not so sure with LA Noire. :'( "Get it for what you know, bro.
I would only buy games for the PS3, and at this point, it would never change. So the choice is obvious for me. If I had a 'box, I'm sure that wouldn't even be a factor. And vice versa. It's about what you know, it's about what you feel.
What do you feel?
" @CL60 said:I don't know what I feel. The only multiplatform game I've bought on PS3 was Final Fantasy 13, and if LA Noire is another situation like that(Lag in some areas and incredibly compressed cutscenes), then the choice will be easy. But I'm trading in games for a trade in deal to get it, so I wont really be able to wait for in depth comparisons." I'm unsure what I should get it on at this point.

PS3, don't have a 360. would prefer to have a PC version though. I'm still holding out for RDR on PC. Looks unlikely though =/
As much as I love the 360, I'm going for the PS3 on this one. I only recently purchased one and would finally like to enjoy the convenience of it being able to play single bluray discs.
Getting it on the 360 because I do not own a PS3. If I did own both, however, then I would definitely go for the PS3.
So you'd rather interrupt game play twice to get up and switch discs than let your PS3 install the game once before you start playing. That's not even taking into consideration that you SHOULD install your games on the Xbox 360 if you value it. I agree that it is a minute point, but if we know no difference between the two other than one occupies three dvds and the other occupies one blu-ray, I as a neutral consumer will take the one that requires less work.So, I install disc one on the xbox, then I only have to change discs once. So, yes, I'd rather change discs than sit for a half hour for an install when I just want to play the game. Usually what I do is stick the game in and play, then when I'm done install it to the hard drive. I can't do that with the PS3 usually. I understand that this is a matter of preference, but there is always some amount of waiting involved, and the difference in time is negligible. Which is why I don't think the multiple discs are really a huge issue. I'm not trying to convince you, I'm just giving my opinion. Calling disc-switching "work" is crazy. I timed it this morning playing ME2. Fifteen seconds. And I didn't even rush. It's not work, in my opinion. It's not even an inconvenience. Given that there are other differences between the two version and not just the multiple-disc issue, yes, I think it's silly to even consider it. That you think the difference is a "minute point" is actually the point I've been trying to make. Compared to the other differences ... it doesn't matter. Which is why I find it strange that people even bother considering it, which a lot of people do.Besides, my point wasn't even a comparison of the pre-install time to disc swap time. Besides, in which situation would you not install the game on your 360? Maybe if you were renting it, I could see your point. I was just trying to logically explain why some people don't like to manually load their game data, instead of playing seamlessly. What is beyond my comprehension is why that seems unreasonable when I make my purchase decision.Regardless, I won't be flopping my pre-order six times and rolling in bed at night worried I'd chosen wrongly. If PS3's version turns out the inferior version (which no evidence suggests one way or the either), who cares, I'll still play and enjoy the experience as any sane person would.
What situation would you not install the game on the 360? When you're playing more than one game. The hard drive on my 360 isn't large enough for more than one install at a time, so at any given moment I'm playing three or four games, in two or three of those instances, I'm not playing from an installed copy. So, most of the time. I never said it was unreasonable, I just said that the difference between multiple discs and a single disc is not very much. If that miniscule amount of time means a lot to you, that's fine. I just think that it's too small to make a difference either way.
I am going to get it on the ps3. The only thing that kinda bugs me is I won't be able to redeem the code for the pre-order stuff since psn is still down. Maybe it will be up by Tuesday (what am I thinking?) no way that is happening.
PS3
PS3. I love Mass Effect 2 and Dead Space 2 on the 360, but the disc swapping can get a bit annoying. It's also the lead platform and it comes with an exclusive mission. Easy choice.
