L. A. Noire for Next Gen

L. A. Noire for Next Gen

You’d wouldn’t think that playing as a cop with a conscience in 1950s Los Angeles would have been any good, but players of L. A. Noire, a title published by Rockstar Games, know different. User’s became Cole Phelps and stayed with him through his progression in the Los Angeles Police Department. You couldn’t randomly attack citizens but the story alone was fun. The game’s developers also used a very accurate facial scanning technology to make character’s faces come to life. It was the player's job during interrogations to figure out who was lying and why.

It didn’t suffer from any graphical issues initially, but the game could have done with a bit more simulation and its black and white mode and panorama shots would make for an absolutely stunning game on the Xbox One and PS4. Being able to play along without having to put in four different discs like Xbox 360 players did would be great on the Xbox One as well.

    Couldn’t agree more with 4 of the games on this list (never played L. A. Noire so I can’t comment one way or the other). The other big one I think though that’s missing is Skyrim. With all these games (except GTA V) there are already PC versions with hi-resolution textures and most have great sound resources already they just need an engine port, which could even be done by a good 3rd party development house (esp. for Bioshock Infinite this would be a must). Many of these are also good DLC/In-App Purchase “frameworks” so developers would stand to make a good deal from the IAPs in addition to whatever they could sell the remade version for.

    Infinite had a “punk-gothic” storyline and art style? I must have played a different version of the game. lol

    Personally, I’d rather have the first two games remade for the next gen consoles. Bioshock Infinite just wasn’t up to par with the first two story-wise. It felt rushed unlike the first Bioshock that I felt told the story flawlessly.
