LA Noire Release Date Is November 8, 2011 For PC

L.A. Noire is a 3rd person shooter video game that has been created by the Rockstar Games and it was released for the first time in May 2011 for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 and, now Rockstar decided that the game has come for this video game to be released for Windows computers and a date has been officially set and from next week we should be finding the LA Noire video game in stores, Steam and OnLive. The game will be launched as L.A. Noire The Complete Edition and it will be launched officially on November 8th in the United Stated and on November 11th worldwide and if this version sells like the ones for Xbox or Playstation then Rockstar hit the jackpot, however, numerous Rockstar fans protested against the decision of creating a PC version for LA Noire and not for the 2010′s best video game, Red Dead Redemption as the plans for a PC release were dropped and not single piece news emerged since that was announced.

The L.A. Noire Complete Edition comes packed with support for keyboard remapping, gamepad and 3D stereoscopic graphics are included, also it features a multi-use code that offers users the possibility to open and use any expansion packs, add-ons and other functions and every single DLC that was released until now for the console editions, which means that it comprises the Reefer Madness Vice case, Nicholson Electroplating Arson, The Consul’s Car Traffic. The Naked City Vice and the A Slip of the Tongue Traffic cases. All these are present in The Complete Edition for the PC version.

The story in LA Noire takes place in the 1947 Los Angeles, a city filled with crimes and you are playing as LAPD detective that has to resolve numerous crime cases and in order to do it you need to roam the city for suspects and investigate then on scene or bring them with you at the precinct and interrogate them as prime suspects. Look for clues and follow all the major leads, but be careful as every action you do will result in you getting closer or drifting away from the original perpetrator, which means that finding the criminals is gonna pretty hard and then you will be forced to play several hours extra in order to close cases. Your character’s name is Cole Phelps.

The console editions of the game were received with highly positive critics and the same thing is expected for the PC version of LA Noire The Complete Edition. The graphics engine is one that has been created by Rockstar company and it is a combination of facial motion capture and animations. The physics engine used is Havok, which is the same one used for the Just Cause series, FEAR series, Dead Rising, Battle Los Angeles, Bioshock 1 and 2, Fallout 3 and New Vegas, Stronghold 3, Sonic Generations, Portal 2, The Witcher 2 and multiple others.

L.A. Noire can be purchased as a retail version or you can buy it as a PC download from STEAM. If you haven’t ordered your copy of LA Noire The Complete Edition until now, then you should go to Amazon and place your order for the game and if you’re lucky you might get your copy right on the official release date. The publishing company for this video game is Rockstar Games the same one that created the GTA series,Max Payne and Red Dead Redemption. That ‘s all the info I had in store for you and now you should seriously be thinking of purchasing the LA Noire The Complete Edition for your Windows PC as the game gets launched on November 8th in US and on the 11th for the rest of the world.

Star Trek Online Goes Free

Considering that the Federation doesn't use money, it seems somewhat fitting that Star Trek Online is going toward the free-to-play model later this year.

According to Gamasutra, that's the direction that Cryptic Studios will be operating under, as their new China-based parent company Perfect World pushes to move the popular sci-fi MMO in line with its other free-to-play properties like Rusty Hearts and Blacklight: Retribution.

From the source:

As part of the company's Q2 2011 earnings conference call, CFO Kelvin Lau explained that the free-to-play model is currently in production, and the game will be updated before the year is up.

"When Perfect World acquired Cryptic, one of our contributions was to share our free-to-play experience with Cryptic," he explained.

"Cryptic is working on the free-to-play model for Star Trek Online," he continued. "This is going to be launched by the end of this year as well. So I think with the free-to-play model, we have bigger potential in the U.S."

Need for Speed: The Run Hands-On Preview

During this year's E3 expo in Los Angeles, EA took the chance to show off its upcoming racer, Need for Speed: The Run, which marks the first time in the series where players will be required to spend time on foot.

The game will see players taking part in an illicit race from San Francisco to New York, incorporating the Autolog networking system that was used to foster competition between friends in last year's Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit. During the E3 demo, EA revealed a chunk of the game that saw protagonist, Jack, leave his car and run through a portion of the city while running away from a pack of bad guys. Button prompts saw Jack performing a series of platforming stunts before finding a new car and speeding away again.

This time around, we had the chance to get some hands-on time with one of the sprint-racing time trials in Need for Speed: The Run.

Our demo took place in the desert between Los Angeles and Las Vegas, where Jack needed to defeat 10 other racers to arrive at the destination first. The environment looked crisp and detailed, and there were plenty of shortcuts to be found along the way, alongside plenty of oncoming traffic. The controls are quite sensitive, with just a slight tap on either side of the thumbstick sufficing for correcting steering. We found that getting the balance of acceleration and drifting didn't come easily, and it took a few turns to correctly identify when and how much to slow down when taking corners and the right time to speed up again in order not to lose too much momentum.

The course included regular checkpoints, something that works alongside the game's new rewind feature. The latter only becomes available when you crash; so, rather than going back all the way to the start of the race, you're simply taken back to the last checkpoint and allowed to attempt the part you failed again. This is a particularly handy feature when completing a new track, as it allows you to learn from your mistakes without being too punishing. It also has the added advantage of giving players time to explore the track to discover shortcuts without losing too much time.

While the rewind feature takes you back in time, it doesn't rewind your timer as well, meaning you will lose valuable time if you insist on taking corners too quickly, and, in the process, careening into oncoming traffic. EA also says the number of times you can use the rewind feature is limited throughout the campaign, changing depending on the track and difficulty setting.

During the demo EA also emphasised that while the game's reveal focused on Jack's on-foot adventures, players shouldn't expect to see too much of this aspect, as racing will still be the main component of Need for Speed: The Run. The publisher also hinted that Jack will have to survive certain environmental challenges, and while we recently saw the avalanche scenario during Gamescom, they're remaining tight-lipped on others.

The demo certainly held our interest and we're excited to see more of both Need for Speed: The Run's racing and on-foot elements in the months to come.
