LA Noire or Brink?

[Wlad]

Something just occured to me. Rockstar isn't developing L.A. Noire, they are only publishing it. Team Bondi is developing it ...

Now hold on there, just because a game had issues, which is prevalent in every game nowadays - gone are the days of proper testing and debugging before release, and just because it didn't change the industry doesn't make it a bad game.

Yes, Rockstar San Diego did pretty much screw up the game from what I saw of it's development after 2 years, but that doesn't mean every other Rockstar developer will do the same. Personally I quite liked the game, mostly for it's setting and story. Thank goodness there's such a thing as having different opinions

As for the length, who's to say he will be able to play online/co-op the whole time? Overall I still think he'll get more "bang for his buck" with L.A Noire.

I however will be getting both, just need to find some funding and time to play first.

I am willing to forgive the odd bug or glitch if a game delivers on other fronts, other than its story and impressively large, though barren, world it failed to grab me on gameplay.

Yes thank goodness for different opinions.

I just checked up on that, the dev's are Team Bondi AND Rockstar so it looks like a team-up, and the publishers still remain Rockstar

I really enjoyed RDR, thought it was done brilliantly, but then I couldn't stand Gta4. The developers don't really have an effect on my opinion of an upcoming game. L.A. Noire does look good though, and Brink... well its another shooter... Aren't there enough of those?

L A Noir. I've always wanted to play a Noir game and from the footage I've seen so far - it looks like an amazing experience. Brink tho, has the potential become a sleeper hit like Borderlands. But I'd play L A Noir first

Oh yeah, sorry my bad. Team Bondi are working in conjunction with Rockstar, but I think Rockstar only mainly supplied the technology (RAGE engine) and support and Team Bondi is doing most of the development. Could be wrong though.

La Noire is exactly the kind of game I've been waiting ages for. Just a pity it's on console

Will have to buy a PS3 now

Well, it looks like I'll be getting LA Noire first then if I have some cash to spare I'll definitely get Brink
