Question: Is L.A. Noire a sandbox game like GTA IV? Will there be a Free Roam mode and side-missions to do along with the main story?
Answer: L.A. Noire is a detective game – and it is unlike any game we have made or anyone else has made that we are aware of. You solve a series of crimes, some of which are linked and some of which are not, in 1947 Los Angeles. As a company, we try to design games around the content and setting, rather than form the setting to the game design. So the answer to your question is not a simple yes or no, but it’s definitely not ‘GTA with fedoras’ and is something very original we’re excited for everyone to experience this May.

Ive heard that there is actually a free roam. its under a few things but its called like "The Streets of L.A." or something like that
The graphics and map are great in this game but when it comes to actual gameplay its just not fun and it feels like you are trapped and cant do any thing. In freeroam you cant do anything but drive around or replay police calls. the map is so large and yet there are few things to do in it. i think this would be the best game rockstar has made yet if they would have stuck with the same concept as the ones previous. I love the map and the animation they are some of the best of this year it just feels like the game is done for you and there is no freedom to anything.
i well say some ideas for a multiplayer /1.a online pirson or two make a crime and run after that 1 or 2 online pirsons that are playing like cops come and try to find the killer
2. you now in single player you can to talk like what happen here and more in multiplayer when online criminals have a crime the online cops can talk with and the cops can have 1.truth 2. lying 3. doubt / but the criminals 1.truth 2. lie 3.information/ and the criminals can leave clues like blood and finger prints the criminal partners 1.truth 2. lie 3.run
3. but when a cop see what happened you can question him 1.tell what happened 2. half information 3.only saw the suspect run
4. make a pause menu /gang match / free for all match /races/chaces/car chaces/wave of enemy/ out fitter( to change characters and every level have a guns a another new chracters ) / garage ( have a garage that you choose cars and every level have new cars) / hardcore free roam /normal free roam / friendly free roam /and more
5. make in the free roam street crimes to level up and for criminals gang street killers
6.make like in red dead posse
7.and make in one free roam more than 20 players
please say no or yes and i am not saying that the game is not it is but we need a multiplayer mode like red dead
It would be great if all the locked doors could be unlocked when game is completed. it would make playing after completed alot better. thanks.
La Noire is nothing like GTA or RDR and I have no problem with that. My main problem with LA Noire is that this game has a really small story, and it is pretty easy to finish. I think this game needed to challenge gamer skills more. I feel like a waste of time to run around searching for landmarks, cars, films and badges. It feels like a treasure hunt game. I think this game would be more fun if more shooting was available, or searching for clues concerning serial killers, like searching for bounty on RDR.
For years now i have played Rockstar games like GTA san andreas and Red dead redemption and i have loved every one of them each one has had there own unique twist and have given me hours of aming fun but i must say that La Noire is the first game to really let me down you see the idea of free roam a game that you can do what you like in and not be limited to one are a is a game feature limited to few games and this is what many of us really love about Rockstar games and yes while you may be able to drive around what is the point if there is nothing to do in the city. For me i belive rockstar have focused to much on graphics and not enough on game enjoyability. i agree with many off the comment and i can see that prehaps suddenly changing to the right side of the law was not a good idea and that without the ability to do things around the city the players feel they have lost control of the games direction and it seems to be less like other more enjoyable Rockstar games and is just another first person detective games Rockstar you have taken the fun out of free roam
anyone else who feels the same please leave a comment
Hi i got the game 3 days ago and ive finished it now and there is nothing else to do but re-do missions which is boring and ive tryed to return it but i cant :( is there anyways u can make it possible to have a free roam mode that we can download on ps3?
please answer? :)
About LA Noire - Why does not have mode online to roam on the streets, or to solve crimes only in multiplayer?
i've got an idea for a new department
Can't you do something for the big GTA fans like let us kill civilians or being a corrupt cop just something like that and i've got an new department
-Illegal street races
-militairy (Back in The days)
or something like that
Do you think you could add a free roam multiplayer mode? I mean, not multiplayer modes and stuff, just a free roam mode. Like, convert SP free roam into a MP version. Something simple. It would be great if you could do that.
I just finished the game, loved it :)
The city is amazing, there's place for lot's of DLC of many types, more cases, wreak havoc, etc. If the value for money of the DLCs is like the episodes from liberty city, I'll buy it.
That DLC would be great !!!!! Play as Cohen's bodyguard or another bad guy ...
Hi, i have completed the story and i loved the awsome game you have made Rockstar. Now there is one thing i missing and that is, that we can pull out the weapon when i want to and why isn´t s L.A. Noire a sandbox game like GTA IV? Why can´t there be a Free Roam mode and side-missions to do along with the main story... this would make this game even more awsome and i would be verry happy... Can you please make a DLC for it, but as I said earlier,
this game is awesome. So. Rockstar* This is my suggestion and i think it would be cool if you guys created a DLC that lets you play as a criminal like a hitman for the mob and just wreak havok and do hit jobs fun stuff like that. it could be a break from the good cop gig and be able free roam sand box style.
I was thinking more 2 Teams of Xbox Live players and 1 team commits the crime and the other has to solve the crime and track them down or You and friends can get in a match together and solve really hard crimes like maybe 1 player does the investigation at the crime scene and the other trakcs down the guys etc. Or something abit like GTA IV cops and crooks only on L.A. Noire you can chase them threw the under ground sour tunnels. (Rockstar let me know what you think of these idea's so if you think they a useless and its defintely a No then i can think of new idea's.
@M413FIK_E Thanks for the feedback about hitman jobs. We will take this into consideration!
That's sound good, or you haft to dispose of the evidence and lie successfully to the investigator and murder witnesses...
this game is going to be awesome. R* I have a cool suggestion I think it would be cool if you guys created a DLC that lets you play as a criminal like a hitman for the mob and just wreak havok and do hit jobs fun stuff like that. it could be a break from the good cop gig and be able free roam sand box style.
