Rockstar has told Kotaku that L.A. Noire is so large, that the Xbox 360 version will span three discs. On the other hand, the PS3 version fill up the entire 25GB Blu-Ray disc.
“L.A. Noire was always going to be a massive game, from the size and detail of the world to the length of the cases, and of course, the sheer amount of MotionScan data required for the faces of over 400 actors in-game,” said the firm’s Jeronimo Barrera. “To tell the story and make the game we wanted to make, we knew that it was going to take an entire single layer Blu-ray disc and three Xbox discs.”
Just because the game will encompass three discs, doesn’t mean the game itself will last for weeks on end or anything though – the size was due in part to the MotionScan data used during development which requires quite a bit of disc space.
However, don’t worry about getting carpel tunnel over changing the game discs.
“Since the game is built around the concept of progressing through individual cases from desk to desk, players on Xbox will find disc-swapping is hassle-free,”said Barrera. “In fact, players will only need to swap discs twice at natural breaks between cases without interrupting the flow of the game.
“Throughout development, we created lots of great cases, the bulk of which were central to the main story of Cole Phelps and his rise through the ranks of the LAPD, alongside other cases that felt more like strong stand-alone episodes. This gave us a powerful main story, and left us with quality extra content that we wanted to put out as DLC, that would slot seamlessly into the existing game.”

Wow, that’s many…
i kno right? i hope its better on the PS3, cus i hate disk swapping. not to mention the PS3 has the exclusive mission called “Consul’s Car Traffic Case.”
It better also have a new engine too – if it is still that shoddy one from GTA4 and RDR with that lower resolution/blured picture/less grass/etc. on PS3 then that extra mission might be a bone thrown to pacify Sony console users in once more multiplatform title.
2 changes of disc are not a problem, though it would be nice if there were ability to install all 3 disc and check only for first one. So no need for swaps would be necessary.
It’sdiferent engine and different developer. Game was PS3 exclusive at the beginning: situation is pretty similar to FXIII. Big chances that PS3 version will be better or both will be the same.
JESUS CHRIST FUCKING XBOX DVD! I WANT A XBOX 720 NOW WITH BLU RAY DISC!
Nice.. Hope Ps3 got a equivalent game.
Damn, thats a lot of discs.
Well this was designed primarily for the PS3, and then about a year or so back, they decided to make it multiplat. So I think this definitely will be a game best played on the PS3.
Yup. so it’s pretty obvious that the ps3 is the lead platform for this ip. I’ll definitely get it for the ps3 for the simple fact that it’s coming with a case that it’s exclusive for it.
i cant wait for this game. and yes im geting it for 360. and no i dont care how many disc’s it is.
Vamos que el juego tiene un porrón de videos… adiós a las escenas en tiempo real…y luego dirán esto es un engaña bobos
So the game will be plenty of videos, no realtime cutscenes… mmm so all the amazing graphics we have seen are a lie….
Me llamo Lopez, la pesado
What does it mean? xD
PS3 buy for sure now. The last thing i want to do after working out all day is get up and down changing discs.
I signed up for an account just to say how lame you are for saying this…
Shut up you fat hoe.
4-5 time you calling out ppl .. reported again .. pathetic cows :/
Haha, hilarious. xD
A new avatar, very sneaky, now nobody will remember you from all those other fanboy comments.
Exactly what system am i a fanboy of?
unscarred785 isn’t a fanboy…
Shut up and bake me a cake, Ainsley.
You’re a fanboy too brendude, only normal for you two to back each other up.
Fanboy of what!? I’ve yet to hear what system I’m a fanboy of so i can laugh at you.
Oh please, I’ve only been here a week or two and I have been completely neutral.
All I do is tell the truth, I don’t sugar coat it for fanboys of either side.
Christ, at least Dialgia admits to being a fanboy….
Denial, denial everywhere.
What’s up with all the Unscarred785 hate?
I haven’t been here long, but I have never seen him acting like a fanboy.
It’s because they can’t figure out if I’m a ps3 or a 360 fanboy. I told them many times that i have both systems and a gaming pc. I even put my gamertag and psn id on here, It’s the same as my lens of truth id. Feel free to send me a friend request on either system.
Can’t wait for the versus. It’s killing me
. Hope the two versions are identical, but I’ve got a feeling it’ll be like Red Dead Redemption. We’ll see…
Damn gta was only one disk on the 360!!! This game is gonna be huge!!!! Who knows goty.
Doesn’t bother me at all really. I’ll know which one to buy when I see the h2h.
I hope its the same on both the 360 and ps3. they are 2 grate systems and both deserve this grate game.
No, No, No, it won’t be same on both platforms.PS3 is the lead platform so it will be ported to 360. Have a nice day.
I am not remotely interested in this game, as long ass stories get on my nerves, and I cant say Ive liked a Rockstar game yet, although i had brief fun with gta 3 and Vice city;gta 4 bored me stupid though.
From all accounts, they started this game on ps3 and lot of game is based around high quality video footage, so i think ps3 version might be superior version overall, like ffXIII.
Cant say the game coming on 3 disks would bother me one bit if i was a 360 owner, and ok, its a nice addition, but geez anyone who thinks its some huge advantage, needs to get off their fat arses and do some exercise.
I think this will be a very close face off, with minor differences on each format, some favouring one format, and some the other.
Ahh, I hope the 3 discs don’t break the free roam aspect of the game. Let’s just hope it works like FFVII did.
Lol, yet another Xbox fail. Can’t wait to see how fandroid and mybutthurts try to claim how the 360 version will be the dominant version.
lol me too. But anyways, and I contra-quote
“This is going to rock on Playstation 3, less so on Xbox 360.
Alongside uncharted 3 this should be the clear game of the year.”
Whats wrong with 3 discs i really cant see the problem, except you are insanely lazy ..
and ofc it wouldnt fit on one disc ps is the lead platform .. please think for god sake.. if the xbox version is gettin superior im laughing my ass off but it shouldnt when the ps is lead platform .. but please grow cows you are gettin really pathetic atm.. sry
It has nothing to do with the fact of getting up and changing the disc. It’s the principle of how truly shitty the 360 is. Throughout this entire gen, deluded 360 fanboys have claimed time and time again that a large disc format like the Blu-ray is unnecessary. But, now that this gen has progressed to a point where a developer compressing one’s game into 6.5 GB simply isn’t going to cut it anymore, devs are finally starting to utilize the Blu-ray and put the Shitbox version where it belongs: In last place.
I am still waiting for the graphics comparison, after Red Dead Redemption and GTA4 I’m not getting my hopes up.
It is made by a different team within Rockstar though, you never know.
@marine whats so shitty about this “shitbox” as i can see it wins almost every h2h and exclusive is pretty equal only fanboys are saying otherwise.. and you might be one of the worst cows i have seen.. and you do know storage doesnt make grafix right ? .. its all the cut-scenes , audio, etc that take up all this space.. maybe resolution take a hit that i dont know .. but all in all its the same damn game please grow and try to enjoy the benefits of gaming for once.. !
This is exactly why PS3 has been denied lead development in other games cause, 360′s inferior DVD 9 capacity and lack of HDD support has hugely held back this generations true game developing capabilities… PS3 is truely this generations console of choice but has been denied because, “true ground-up” developed games on PS3 would be impossible on the garbage that is Xbox 360… So, Thanks for slowing down this generation, Microsoft!!! Truely, good job!!!
Ps2 did it last gen more than xbox 360 does the current gen , if it’s really doing such thing…
Where you so angry when it happened?….¬¬
The only true advantage of the blue ray extra capability is that developers can add more HD videos and more audio sources to the game and that’s what’s happening on this one as many others ps3 exclusives or ps3 based ones.
Worst GPU /less video memory etc, those are real factors to slow down or adversely affect this generation not the media where data is stored…..
You show me, which 360 exclusive looks better than any PS3 exclusive and we’ll see who’s GPU is worst… and by the way, what games are you talking about that were 2 to 3 disc on PS2 cause, I don’t recall seeing any…
Silent Hill 2 restless dreams, Devil May Cry 2, Hack infection, Grandia 3, Onimusha down of dreams, Metal Gear 3 subsistance… should I continue?
Anyway I was talking about GB≠Quality, not about how many games came in 2 discs on ps2
And for your info ps3′s gpu is worst than xbox360′s this is a fact.
Graphics have no impact on slowing this generation down. In the end you can always lower the quality of the textures or bump down the resolution.
Storage is the REAL limiting factor. Other than severe compression, there is no way you can just bump down the file size of the game without removing some of the content.
And some of the games you mentioned had bonus discs. They basically held content that wasn’t in the full game, such as the original MG games in MGS3 Subsistence.
It is well known that the PS3 has a worse GPU than the XBOX 360, but the difference is barely noticable. Games that are ported to the PS3 and are only coded for the GPU tend to look identical to their XBOX 360 counterparts, minus the odd poor port like Red Dead Redemption and Bayonetta. Take the PS3′s cell processor into account though and it can give astonishing results which can’t be achieved on the XBOX 360.
Complaining about the PS3′s GPU is completely irrelevant to the article. As much as I love your avatar, you do talk a lot of shit.
Yep! you’re right, Cell does magic! xD
Nope, GPu and v-ram are essential to deliver the best experience, Blue ray can storage 25-50gb od data, ok, but if you can only fit 256mb of textures it’s irrelevant how data is storaged on that media.
Of course ps3 has the edge in terms of graphics on it’s exclusives, but it’s not cuz of the BRD, as you sure have already read on the article “Sony Gives Naughty Dog “Time” And “Money” To Do Things Right” that’s the reason why ps3 exclusives are one step forward xbox 360, I wonder If some day, some game, will use the tesellation module on 360 or an eficient use of the embedded eDram….
I whant to say both are great systems, one is superior in some fields and the other in others… but the storage media isn’t the real factor to deliver the best experience or graphics.
Boo… sorry for my broken english, i’m getting dizzy xD
GPU and V-RAM are essential to deliver the best GRAPHICS, what I am trying to say is graphics limitation doesn’t change the overall game. Storage can change the overall game because content has to be removed.
Blu-Ray has nothing to do with graphics, well it does but only because of uncompressed textures and FMV’s. I’m not talking graphics here, I’m talking about the actual content of the game.
Actually, I’d probably have to say the Wii has been this generation’s console of choice considering it’s sales and how much the other two companies have been trying to slice away the Wii’s market by jumping into motion gaming.
I mean, for Sony, they sort of became “this generation’s console of choice” after the other two have started moving onto bigger better things.
3 disc games are nothing new. shit i remember Phantasmagoria being 7! not new, but is old… i wonder if you can install all 3 discs?
i will probably go for ps3 anyway. i wasnt sure about getting this till my wife saw a commercial and said, “get that.”
I don’t mind swapping discs every 12 hours, and i aplaud team bondy for not going with a crapy 6.5 gb compresion, and for those who say this is because the game was made on ps3 as the lead platform, it has nothing to do with it, it’s only because it is a huge game, nothing to do with the platform. Let’s hope the game performs equally on each console even though i doubt it
Looks like a fanboy is annoyed with the lead platform (PS3)
@Debilmarine, monkey´s and other g4ystation fanboys:
I’m not worried in the chair lift and swap the DVD 3 times in 20 hours ..
I worry if I can not play online (g4ytation network), or if the balance of my credit card away. And again, if you can install on hd better yet, have my xbox 250 hd …
Of course, I feel sorry for this game not being exclusive to ps3. This would miss the list of Xbox games. Not the case crap of war 3 and the other “super exclusives g4ystation games”.
lol we are talking about la noire here which doesn’t even have online and from the looks of it WILL be BETTER than the F4ILBOX version, so shut the fu*k up with your f4ilbox fanboy rant. You bring down God of War (One of the best ps3 exclusives which beats most xbox exclusives btw) w/out even playing it what a fail. I could easily bring down fable, alan wake, crackdown, metro 2033, halo wars (lol at that one) which were all f4ilbox failures. Again baseless fanboy crap coming from your false mouth. theREALTRUTHhurts doesn’t it theTARDhurts!!!
Is it me or is everyone a fanboy on this site. Honestly pretty much every single comment has “gaystation” and “shitbox”.
Well figures, its a website about comparing games. What a horrible and deluded community.
Agree Twist3dM3rc, it sucks. Seems like none of the people here are interested in games. But rather talk shit about consoles they don’t own.
No, it’s just you.
I wouldn’t say everyone, but I would be certain to say it’s pretty noticeable because there’s a few large lightning rod type posters who post multiple times either inciting fanboy behavior or calling out other fanboys.
DementMankilla crap of war dont have online gaming like ps3… shut the fuck up.
G4station ftl.
u are a little whiney bitch aren’t you. PS3 actually has real single player games like god of war, and many others. PS3 sales btw weren’t effected much (vg charts) so Oh well back to playing heavy rain just another superior exclusive only for the ps3. After ps3′s online comes back I wonder what comebacks you are going to have thetardhurts.
Good news buddy. Sony is in the final stages of testing the new PSN. Worst that can happen now is they come across an issue while testing, which I seriously doubt would take until june to fix. Point is, it’ll be back online real soon, so you can get ready to crawl back into your little corner with fandroid, and cry in each other’s arms about how your’e getting no games this year. Later.
qq litle kid. hug your offline g4station and cry. Im now playing mvc3 ONLINE!!!
cya!
@ Marine ..
You do realise that anon is planning a third attack on sony right .. dont get your hopes up just yet..
BUUUUURN.
Well said Dialga.
I would say “theTRUEhurts” is the worst fanboy on this website by a mile. What a fucking degenerate.
everyone knows you’re a fake account of debilmarine…
@ mybutthurts Really? Yeah, me and brendude are totally the same person. XD
Both side’s need to fu*king shutup. and get over yourself’s. and just like the game
and im mostly talking to android. and DialgaMarine you are the bigest flipfloper on thes bords. first you say that gears looks good then you call it shit.
Abdroid, DialgaMarine, and Thetruthhurts seem to be the biggest and most deluded fanboys here.
Add unscarred785 to that list ..
lol, not true at all. Unscarred has a 360, PS3 and a high spec PC. He goes with the best version. We talk regularly about which version of a game we’re going to get. My PC sucks, so I choose between 360 and PS3, but always choose the one which seems best. In this case, I would definitely prefer to have LA Noir on one disc, but I have to wait and see how the head2head goes, because I know RDR was definitely inferior on the PS3.
Don’t forget buying1999
Don’t call me a fanboy Strutten. Like deathrattlehead said. I have all three to choose from. Also your mother’s still a fat hooker.
Dialga might be a fanboy, but he is far from deluded.
Bashing one console to make the other look better seems insecure.
He still isn’t deluded, what separates him from “theTRUEhurts” and Android is that:
a) He can spell
b) He can speak the truth
And for that, I respect him. He has good videos on his Youtube channel aswell.
He bashes the xbox with baseless comments on articles that don’t even involve the xbox.
Deluded might not be the best word for him but his comments are as credible as Android’s…Well maybe a lil bit more credible but you get what I mean.
While he does bash the XBOX 360 a bit too much, most of the posts are just flaimbait for Android and theTRUEhurts.
He backs up his comments with facts and I never catch him talking shit. While he does provoke XBOX 360 owners, it’s hard to discredit what he says.
I have a PC and 360 too. What of it…
lol? lier skills acquired.
Now, between game data and pre-rendered videos, I wonder which will actually occupy the majority of the storage space.
Hmm, I wonder what the manufacturing cost of a Single-layer Blu-ray Disc compare to that of three Digital Versatile Discs.
It costs more for ms to press 3 sets of disks than it does to print 1 blu ray disk, even though it’s cheaper to buy 3 DVD ‘s. Hence, most publishers in this situation compress data on videos , even if it’s inferior quality and why they whinge about DVD size.
Also a lot of space on this game is taken by video, as it’s higher quality than gta.
Anyway to the xbotz and ps3 fanboys; game should look pretty good on both as it was primarily developed on ps3 and huge parts of game rely on video footage, which isn’t based on in game engine.
Ok, now if u can’t change a disk after 12-15 hrs, seriously u need help and some exercise . Fair enough , if it was constantly changing, I’d agree, but due to story based nature of game , it’s easy to make it so there’s 2 ( yes a whole 2 ) disk changes. I change disks more than that in one day on my ps3.
It isn’t really about production costs, DVD’s and even Blu-Ray’s are cheap as chips these days.
The problem is inconvenience of storing, maintaining, and swapping 3 discs. Also, if the game data has to be spread over 3 discs then the the game may have to be broken up into sections like ME2, rather than just one big free-roam game.
Hope it turns out better on Ps3, because of the disc swapping. But if it’s another Red Dead Redemption, where the detail was pared back on Ps3, then I’ll put up with disc swaps. BECAUSE I OWN BOTH FUCKING CONSOLES! Allowing me choice between them. I really feel sorry for those that don’t own both consoles, especially the Sony fanboys. They are bigger dickheads than anyone.
Most of the comments here, makes it clear that gamers are dumber than a box of rocks.
+1 deathrattlehead
I also own XBOX360 and PS3 with a dinosaur of a PC…so my choice for games is decided by these head2head/faceoffs. I just want the best experience possible,and if that is on PS3 or XBOX360 I am happy camper!
PS. Where’s the mutterfukkin MK HEAD2HEAD!!!
OMG, fucking fanboys! , grow the fuck up. And for Christ sake, stop saying PS3 is powerful and a next-generation console and Xbox 360 not cause that is total crap. Uncharted 2 or 3 has good graphics but they are not THAT good. They are normal, and in my opinion gears of war 3 looks better then most PS3 exclusives. The only PS3 exclusive with amazing graphics is God of war 3…, killzone 3 looks like a colorful cartoon… , XBOX 360 IS STRONG AND ALAN WAKE PROVES THAT. NOW STFU AND ENJOY THE GAMES.
I could care less how many discs this one will be. I find it hard to believe that so many people have such a huge problem with changing a disk. It’s like they look down on it as a means to justify to themselves their choice in console. Well whatever, I know what system I’m getting it on.
Ive seen video’s of the game running on 360 and it looks sharp definitely running in 720p. i cant say the same for ps3.
orly any proof?

Interesting as apparently all released footage so far by Rockstar has been in ps3, so where did u see the 360 footage??
Hope u guys realise that the actual in game really isn’t that impressive, and the video footage( specifically the character voice synching, as even aspects of the videos arent that impressive) being the games most impressive factor anyway. Dont believe me, read this.

Last time I checked, the only gameplay and footage that has been shown has been all PS3. I think you’re just trying to tell yourself that so as to hide the fact that your precious shitbox has a crappy media storage. The game was developed on the PS3, and most likely, the PS3 version will be the definitive version. The H2H for this is probably going to have similar results to what we saw with FFXIII.

90% of the people in this thread are completely retarded. Please go away. Your fanboy opinions are not required or wanted in any way. Do this community a favor and go to your console’s official site and talk about how great your system is and how crappy the other one is.
90% is a little overboard.
More like 95%…
Realistically, I would say about 30%.
You gotta look at it from the minority standpoint. Which would be 5% who aren’t fanboys.
I will not be acting like an idiot because the three stooges. (DebilMarine, un SCARED and the monkey´s) just created this account because many thought it funny when they made fun of the xbox. Now feel the skin as it is annoying when they talk nonsense of their preferred system. One thing I say, it was fun. Especially when they fucked up the psn.
I apologize to the good users for wasting time reading the nonsense that I wrote and members of staff. But of course … if they keep messing with the powerful Xbox 360 I’ll be back =)
?
No comprendo amigo, hablas ingles.
Falo português, quer conversar assim?
But what I said is true. I will not be here wasting time. When the PS3 has at least half of the victories in the H2H I will say something.
And im not talking about exclusives. I said H2H.
All you do is come on here and bash the PS3 “theTRUEhurts”. Just get lost dude, If your gonna comment on here at least make it an opinion about the topic of which you are commenting on. Just like i said I prefer the ps3 version right now because it is on 1 disc. If the final head to head revealed that the 360 version performed and looked better I’ll be getting it on the 360. If the differences are minimal favoring the 360 then i may still get it on the ps3 just because its nice to be able to play a whole game on one disc.
I bash ps3 because 2 Mongols (debilmarine and monkey) bash the xbox.
Why do you defend them? weird huh?
Or you think its funny the word shitbox, xbot etc etc.
Wake up and get real. whether to defend or speak ill of someone at least be fair
I don’t defend anybody on here unless there right, and i have never called the xbox a “shitbox” or said the word xbot. I think the word xbot is stupid anyway. On my 360 i have 30,410 achievements, Can’t even check how many i have on the ps3 because psn is down lol but i think its in the 400′s. As you can see i play my 360 a lot more then my ps3 but i enjoy them both all the same.
F ur fanboy couch u loser
well if you did own a 360 they have gameplay on xbox live. and in during gameplay you can see x y b a. and lt rt lb rb on screen. so if you truly own a 360 DialgaMarine wich you dont. you wold now. but you do not cuz you a blind ps3 fanboy.
and you can work out its 720p from a compressed video on xbox live??? lol
as already discussed, its a port from ps3, so the ps3 version being the lead, wont have an inferior res or the port would be inferior too.DOH!!!
I did not say that the ps3 is going to be bad its going to be the same on ps3 and 360
does it matter which version is better both consoles are gonna have there ups and there downs it will be a very close head2head like always just enjoy the game when it comes out and you fan boys GET A LIFE !!!
and no i dont know for a fact that its 720p. it just lookt very sharp in the video.
was meant to add, but forgot. That i dont actually not think the 360 version is 720p btw, and for all intense purposes, i think they will be identical. The only differences i can see occurring will be very minor, and even the video scenes will be same i think, as Rockstar has used 3 disks, so even that worry can be put to bed i think.
anyway, im sorry if i misunderstood ur post, i thought u were another fanboy adding fuel to the fire. its hard to tell who is and who isnt on here sometimes.
anyway, hope u enjoy the game, and that both versions work out well for both sets of owners. Me personally, im not interested in the game , so doesnt bother me either way lol
Wow, I was genuinely surprised upon finding this out. I find swapping discs to be a hassle in this day and age. I’m definitely going with the PS3 version. Anyone ever buy from Buy.com? They still have it for $45. I hope amazon will match the price.
thanks for that its nice to see that people can still be calm and explan them selvs
3 disks pah!
That’s nothing, at least this once ps3 exclusive is turning up on 360.
Why anyone would want to play this on the machine that’s got a lot of problems ahead(ps3), is anyone’s guess.
At least you can be guaranteed the game will work online on 360.
There’s already another major hack attack on its way over the weekend.
Sony are in deeeeeep sheeeeet.
This will go on and on and on and on.
Psn might actually end up being down more than up this year lol.
RIP sony.
Did your balls not drop yet young man?
Stop being such a fanboy Twist3dM3rc.
Making fun of some else’s stupidity isn’t being a fanboy.
But you seem to be a fanboy for jumping the gun and calling me a fanboy.
Let’s all get together and watch the movie fanboys!
Awesome,i’ll get the popcorn
I’m just joking. xD
Anyway, I agree. The people who jump the gun and call other people fanboys tend to be the fanboys themselves.
reckon we’ve found our rogue anonymous hacker who took down psn eh ?? lol
hmmm maybe im giving Android too much credit here, he couldnt hack his way out a paper bag, let alone hack a network lol
what online are we talking about here android?? lol
its not Call of duty 2743 , so its not actually a brainless fps that u play online mate lol
ps did u miss the part about live going down in 2006 for two weeks too??(admittedly it was up and down constantly over this period).

“so never say never”
Justin Beiber has completely ruined that saying.
I’m not on music by Justin I’m afraid , I’m presuming it’s a song by the stupid lil twunt
Um android this game doesn’t have online mode…
This game only went multiplatform because of Agent, which will be going multiplatform, so whatever. The game was never an actual exclusive on PS3, because it was never actually ON PS3, so are PS3 fans supposed to care? We still get alot of exclusives this year, and even several already planned for next year. What’s Microshit going to talk about at E3 this year, fandroid? Do they actually have anything? Or is your mindset the same as every other deluded 360 failboy in that you believe the unnamed, imaginary games M$ tells you about. The only going for 360 after Gears 3 is another Gaylo and Kingdoms (but that’s being made by Crytek, so it’ll probably be shit too).
In short, you and your precious Shitbox fail. Microsoft knows the system is done, which is why they’re about to launch ANOTHER rushed console out onto the market, just to get destroyed by Sony’s next console. Have fun, fandroid.
More so than ever, I’m left asking “what are u on about??” .
“This game only went multiplatform because of Agent, which will be going multiplatform, so whatever. The game was never an actual exclusive on PS3, because it was never actually ON PS3″
Agent is an exclusive on ps3.
lol i really really got confused. Agent is a must have exclusive for the ps3. It seems like an amazing game that can get a lot of sales for the ps3.
My bad, bro. I meant to say “which will NOT be going multiplatform”. I know that it will remain exclusive because it’s being published by SCE.
How are you going to download patches for the game when bugs are found?
How will you get dlc for the game as well?
Certainly not on the ps3 if psn is down again, the 360 however will be working perfectly online lol.
Grow up Android, it’s 2 weeks.
In other words the same amount of time that XBL was down back in ’07.
Double standards…
The exclusive dlc
for the ps3 is on the bluray disk I think. psn will be back up pretty soon so can’t wait till xbox fanboys will have nothing going for them. Better multiplats of aaa games (see portal 2, and la noire) exclusives (see… too many) vs Gears of War 3 which will be fun to play on a friend’s xbox and… oh ok 
Interestingly enough, i put in a game other day , think it was resistance 2 ( picked up for £6 ) and it updated with a patch or ten lol dlc isn’t coming anytime soon and psn back up shortly, so we will enjoy our free games and free online again , whilst downloading off our free psn , whilst playing our copy of la noire with it’s free exclusive content and look forward to one of the many exclusives on it’s way including another Rockstar game in Agent
I can only be this childish with u android, as I really can’t take u seriously lol
eh I like android he doesn’t curse much and Is funny. The others (bornin1999, and thetardhurts) are annoying and have no facts to support their “superior” console.
Same here, he’s a clown , but can’t help but like him and smile whenever I see his posts
Android doesn’t have facts either.
But he is funny as hell.
Man my Android allergies are getting worse, i almost puke now every time i just see the avatar. Soon i will probably develop full blown Aids for reading the comments.
Hey Android, i saw this and thought of u

Ok sorry, i couldnt resist lol, heres what i was really here to post.
eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-gears-of-war-3-beta-tech-analysis
its the DF Gears Beta tech analysis, and you xbots, will be glad to know, its looking very nice indeed, although it has no AA at all, but its not so noticeable after all the post processing effects. Much nicer looking than Crysis 2 imo, but bit short of KZ3 due the lack of AA,but it has better Alpha effects. Anyway , not here to start a war, just thought u’d want to see this. I still prefer kz3 looks and gameplay wise, and Gears doesnt/wouldnt interest me for anything other than co-op , if i hadnt traded my 360, but it sure is pretty, unlike crysis 2, which made me want to tear my eyes out
Fandroid fail. We’re still able to recieve patches for games, just as we are still able to access Netflix without PSN. The only thing that will be a problem will be DLC, but PSN is very likely to be back by the time this game comes out, let alone when they actually release DLC for this game 6 months from now lol. Once again, fandroid and mybutthurts fail.
….wait, why can’t they just put the game on an HD-DVD? Doesn’t the 360 support that technology?……. oh………
I’m not sure if ur being sarcastic or not, but if ur not, there’s two major issues with this idea. Hd DVD is not big enough to store that amount of info and secondly and more importantly , it’s dead lol
There’s a few second hand players doing the rounds, but not everyone has one , so it makes selling copies of it difficult , to say the least.
I really hope this was attempted humour, cause if not, u are a whole bunch of stupid lol
i have a 360 and a ps3 and im not a fan of either. lol.
i find being loyal to a system is harder, but i dont think it makes me a “fanboy.” like when devil may cry 4 came out.. i have the others on ps2, so naturally i want it for ps3.. even thought its the same game on 360.. you tend to have your favorites.
getting mk on 360 was the biggest freak out among my friends. they ALL got it on ps3..
but i have gripes on both machines.. first off im on my 5th 360. i still have my #4 too and it works. i just ended up buying the new model after #4 came back. their controller is odd, but the new pop up d-pad has been nice. but too slick.
ps3 i didnt get into until it was out a year. felt it had at a rough start. (when i first got my ps3 i was actually using my 360′s chat feature while playing my friend on ps3 because we didnt have blutooth mics)changing controllers, not knowing right away whos technology they were gonna steal from… they seem to have it down now.. im warming up to the ps3 a lot more now. back then their exclusives consisted of haze and heavenly sword (which i kinda dug) and now they got their ratchet & clanks, and killzone, uncharted, its been nice.
im more of a classic gamer.. guess im a dreamcast fanboy or mvs.. love my mvs..
I have re-arranged by room so now I have the Dreamcast, Sega Saturn and PS2 set up.
Classic gaming was so much better. Better games, reliable hardware, simple, no online accounts, every game was a disc or cartridge, I miss those days :/
Since I’m pretty use to multiple disks from the PC and PS1 days where it was pretty much a given I really don’t care if one has multiple disks and the other doesn’t. All I care if the gameplay and graphics run fine, and if one performs and looks better than the other I’ll get that one.
Hell, for all I know the time spent changing disks on the 360 could be offset by a mandatory install on the PS3.
I love the new theme. Any chance this was inspired by portal?
I just watched the gameplay trailer on Xbox Live, and I have to admit. The Xbox 360 version looks more polished and colorful. Don’t believe? Wait for the Head to Head. And I didn’t see any screen tearing on the Xbox 360 version. Just saying.
P.S. NOT A FAN-BOY. I OWN BOTH CONSOLES.
Im not sure people are grasping the concept that the game was built around ps3 architecture, and later when it no longer was exclusive, they started to port to 360. This basically ensures that the ps3 version being lead format is what is imitated on the 360, and the way they do this, is by using the pc’s for development and tricking them into thinking the 360 works the same way as a ps3. This means that that the ps3 version is equal to, or better than the 360 version. This method actually can aid the 360 version in terms of performance tooo , believe it or not.
“And in terms of leading on PS3, that sometimes can be used to boost performance of the 360 version as well, with a greater emphasis on optimising code and an increased use of parallelisation delivering a visually better looking game as a result. ” from tech report on la noire on iqgamer.
This has also been said by the devs of Bioshock infinite , Irrational .
“”We all know that the PS3 is powerful but unique console with its own strengths and challenges. But compared to the PC, the Xbox 360 is challenging too. So instead of declaring a ‘lead platform’ and porting the game to the others, we’ve instead changed the game engine so that all platforms look (to a programmer) more like a PS3. This means implementing a task-oriented task processor that assumes a NUMA (non-uniform memory access) design that mimics the PPU/SPU split of the PS3. Writing code this way is more difficult for us, but has a key advantage: it’s both optimal for the PS3 *and* gives speed improvements on other platforms due to increased cache coherence and more efficient use of multiple processing units.” Again an iq gamer article, but this time with irrational on Bioshock infinite.

I expect minimal differences between the two versions like we had in case of Vanquish, which adopted same process, or Castlevania
UPDATE: I recorded the screen while watching both trailers and compared them. From my point of view, the XBOX 360 version looks sharper too.
Again, don’t spam my comments please. I’m not a fan-boy. Just telling what I saw.
Just because you saw a trailer on Xbox live it doesn’t mean it was the Xbox gameplay being shown. It’s the same trailers that’s shown everywhere which is all PS3 footage. I don’t think any 360 footage has been shown at all.
I’m not calling you a liar but the sharpness you are talking about is just down to the quality of video compression.
Judging by the comments, the H2H for this game is going to be intense.
Dude, I’m not a genius or something but I’m not stupid either. It is the XBOX 360 gameplay cause I can see the A,B,X,Y,RB,RT,LB,LT buttons… We’ll wait for the Head to Head. The game rocks anyway ^^
Sorry but that means nothing. If you want to see what version was used in gameplay videos you use media sites like Gametrailers or IGN and not the console makers networks. In the LA Noire gameplay trailers all the independent site show the PS3 button prompts. Remember each network is not going to show videos with other companies button prompts on them. When developers make trailers to show gameplay they only make them the once. It takes a lot of time, effort and money to redo a video on a different game engine. They have to recapture everything again, re edit it and make sure all of the beats are correct. They aren’t going to do that just to please a few xbox owners.
With most games if there are button prompts on the trailer that arent the same as the console in question they are either blurred out or ommited entirely. To show people that what they are seeing in LA Noire is gameplay and not a cutscene they need to have the buttons there on screen. It’s obvious that the video on Xbox live is the PS3 gameplay trailer with the 360 button prompts superimposed on top.
Hopefully the Head 2 Head will show that both versions look the same but there is no reason to assume the 360 version is definitely better. Remember this does not use the same engine as GTA4 or Red Dead and was built from scratch for the PS3.
Thank you for the explanation. I don’t want the XBOX 360 version to be superior or the PS3 one. I just hope both are the same. We’ll see.
It could also be the pc version using the 360 controller.
I just want to add fuel to the fire. The version they showed at the Tribeca Film Festival was running on the PS3.
No it wasnt, it was running on the Dreamcast.
The Dreamcast was truly ahead of its time.
Just let me install the game! Problem solved.
