L.A. Noire - The High Life of Los Angeles, 1947 - New Screens and PR


Rockstar Games is probably extremely busy putting the finishing touches, and polish, on L.A. Noire, which is scheduled for release on May 17.
What was living in Los Angeles like in the 1940s? Well for the game's main protagonist, detective Cole Phelps, it involved trying to solve cases, and perhaps finding out who the puppet masters were running Los Angeles' criminal underwold.



Rockstar just today released a new press release and some new screens for the game, and you can see them below!

"The post-war economic boom and full-fledged glory of Hollywood’s golden era brought a new, revitalized air of glamour and prestige to the world of Los Angeles in 1947. In L.A. Noire, this is exemplified by high-end mansions flanked by luxury vehicles, exclusive restaurants and top class shops... all catering to the idle class.

Detective Cole Phelps will soon learn firsthand though what they say about all that glitters. With power comes ruthlessness, with wealth and privilege come greed, with fame comes desperation - and below that high-gloss sheen lie the darkest of souls."
