A Real Detective Plays L.A. Noire

Posted: May 25, 2011

At G4tv, we wanted to find how good a real detective can be when playing Rockstar Games' L.A. Noire, so we got Skip Bauchman, a real detective from the LAPD, and put him to the test. Find out how well this detective does.

Games in this Video:

L.A. Noire (PlayStation 3), L.A. Noire (Xbox 360)

Rent at GameFly

Really enjoyed this and it was quite informative. Overall, I would have to say that this video makes me more likely to play the game.

On the other hand, I wonder what the video editors left out of the interview. I didn't get the sense that this was the total interview. Maybe this was representative of his opinions; maybe it wasn't. What did you guys cut out?

Is it just me or are half the actors in this game from Mad Men? I saw Peggy, Kinsey, and I believe Jimmy Barrett in this video

Awesome segment... now lets have a parody with a bounty hunter taking on red dead, metroid and others..Or not.

Reminds me of an old article I read where they got a cabbie to play crazy taxi....only this was much better...

:)

Cop: You know the victim?
In-game: You know the victim?
Haven't gotten far yet, but now know this'll be gravy. :D

I love this kind of journalism, gives normal people like me an insight into the do's and dont's of videogame photorealism. Combat Facts on GT TV, really good. A similar piece was done with Yakuza 3 being played by actual yakuza.

Now, what's it going to take to get a Ghost in the Shell game that's similar to LA Noir.

I love L.A. Noire a good bit already, so no need to sale me on it. But I enjoyed this video immensely, one of the best things I've seen on your site ever.
