New 'LA Noire' details emerge

New details have emerged about Rockstar's mysterious long-running project LA Noire, including that the game is no longer a PS3 exclusive.

Australian studio Team Bondi, which is developing the game, told US magazine Game Informer (posted on All Games Beta) that LA Noire will also be released on Xbox 360.

Set in a recreation of 1940s Los Angeles, the film noir-inspired title sees players become street cop Cole Phelps as he attempts to solve a string of murders.

Strong observational skills will be required to identify clues in the realistic crime scenes, with all spotted items being automatically recorded in a notebook.

The game will also feature revolutionary facial motion capture technology to deliver realistic in-game recreations of character movements.

A dialogue system, similar to the Mass Effect series, will be used in various gameplay sequences such as interrogation of suspects.

Rockstar has so far not confirmed an exact release window for the title, but it is widely believed to be coming this year.
