It could be a Mafia 2 with a bit of depth,that detective stuff is intriguing.

This is a PC game?? I don't think it is....

Despite making their name on the PC, Rockstar only do shit ports these days.

 

[Albatross]

Oops,move it to console section.

*angrily mumbles something about Red Dead Redemption not being ported yet*

 

[gorcorps]

Should be solid. Thought GTA IV was great, RDR was even more fantastic, so this should be just as good if not better depending on if you like this theme/time period.

 

[trmiv]

Looks awesome, I'll likely get it. With Dragon's Age 2 and Skyrim coming out this year I'll have my fill of long lasting games.

 

[Gooberlx2]

Seriously, this game looks awesome.

 

[zerocool84]

Seriously, this game looks awesome.

Yea I'm really excited for this. Looks awesome. The facial animations really do look awesome.

 

[CptObvious]

Looks really good even though I'm not a big fan of film noir. Then again I thought the same about RDR and westerns, and RDR was my favorite game of the past year.

For their next genre, I'd like to see Rockstar make a futuristic dystopia game. Like Half Life 2, but without the aliens.

 

[mazeroth]

They better bring this to the PC. Sons of bitches.

Since it isn't only Rockstar, maybe, but since RDR hasn't even been announced, somehow I doubt it.

 

[mizzou]

one more reason for me to make my ps3 purchase lol

 

[StinkyPinky]

The textures look really low res to me. Kinda looks like talking puppets.

 

[Baasha]

I dunno, the lip-syncing looks spot-on and the best in any video game I've seen to date.

The game itself, I'm not so sure. I prefer action-packed games so I'm not into this "go into the alley to scrounge for some clues" type of play. If I want a thriller, I'll read Sherlock Holmes. When I want instant gratification and visual stimulation (LOL), I'll play video games.

Well that's the sad part of games today. Everything is action and shooting and killing. There's no room for well thought out thriller games any more. I would love a great thriller game.

RDR was fantastic. I've been looking forward to this one.

Agreed (with the mindlessness of most games). Grim Fandango remains my favorite game of all time...at least going by memory.

Did you play Heavy Rain?

 

[zerocool84]

Did you play Heavy Rain?

No I didn't. I'll play it some time soon but as we know, games like that almost never come out any more.

 

[TheVrolok]

No I didn't. I'll play it some time soon but as we know, games like that almost never come out any more.

I totally agree, that's what I thought was so great about Heavy Rain. It was very refreshing from a genre standpoint. Honestly, though, if I would have played it WITHOUT the PS3 Move, I don't think I would have enjoyed it nearly as much.

 

[Powermoloch]

the facial expression and lip synch

holy cow !!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Fingolfin269]

I hope it's a little less repetitive than RDR (and GTA). My problem with those games is that at around the halfway point I just get bored when I realize they're basically the same thing from beginning to end. I realize this is true for most games but they just seem to throw a lot of filler in between the key points in order to make the game seem longer than it really needs to be.

 

[fantolay]

Looks good

Totally agree with you,... Instead of trying to make a game be playable for 70 some hours, give us a really good game that doesnt get boring and plays a lot faster.


And holy crap, the characters are so good, I can actually tell who they are. I know that last guy talking about the truth has to be Bill Burr, just without that Boston accent.
