L.A. Noire heading to 360 due to massive budget?

All has been quiet on the L.A. Noire front until GC Asia 2008, where two very revealing details about the Rockstar-published project were unearthed, as reported by IGN.
First off, it appears the developmental scope of this game was underestimated by just about everyone. Tom Crago, CEO of Tantalus and the president of the Game Developers' Association of Australia, spoke at the event about L.A. Noire, saying the game "could be the biggest budget videogame in development anywhere in the world. It would certainly," he continued, "in terms of console titles, be in the top ten..."
He then purported that the game will arrive on both 360 and PS3. While Crago has no official relationship with Team Bondi or Rockstar, it's unlikely this information is incorrect. It makes sense; if a new intellectual property's development cost is spinning out of proportion, it only costs around 10% more to port the game to another platform, which would limit risk significantly.
We've sent Team Bondi a message requesting official confirmation, but the answer is already fairly certain. We should have more word soon.

Nice joke. my good r they kidding me. u want large budgets try Killzone on for size. 34million and up spent. oh and lets see mag that will probally hit near 50 to 60 mill. lay this misterious price tag on this game ive never heard of. im sure its going to be another on of those great idea by microsoft. it will probally sell as good as vista. which means they will half to give it away with each consle.

Im really dissappointed its like others have stated before me when you do a big budget game you'll see the rewards come back to you look at MGS4 that was a success and it had a very big budget

I knew this would happen. I never had my hopes high for this as an exclusive anyway. If the game isn't Developed by a Sony studio, or Sony isn't publishing the title, I won't get excited for exclusive even if the devs says so, remember SE or Ubisoft saying the same thing about FF13 and Assassin's Creed respectively?
Oh well, even if it's not exclusive, I'm sure it'll be a great game. Rockstar always delivers.

The financial report also stated that fellow Take-Two title LA Noire is due out in fiscal 2008. The spokesperson suggested that both Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 releases are likely, stating, "LA Noire is being developed for next-generation systems."

This is really a win-win situation for both companies. As Jack mentioned in the interview with Geoff, this franchise is not LA Noire, but something all new. We agreed with Rockstar and Take-Two Interactive Software that we wouldn’t disclose anything more about the deal or title at this time, so stay tuned, we’ll share more info as soon as we can.

this is a NEW IP so dont mention MGS4 which is a very well known IP.
@bnolan56: are u cerious their has only been a cg intro way back when the game was announced
to everyone this was an exclusive at 1st and rockstar said that it will not fit on a dvd so it had to be exclusive but i guess their will now be compremises.
this has potencial and seeing as games like gta4 was huge this will probably be huge so no need to complain

ok, where will this end? I mean, games are costing more to make (and buy) with every video game console generation, I don't care for exclusives anymore (not after that FF XIII anouncement) all I care about is having fun playing a game, and better technology doesn't guaranty a enjoyable/fun game, so developers need to put creativity over technology and quit spending tons of money on games, that way they can sell them cheap and we, the consumer, will have more money in our packets to keep buying their games. I wish a developer will take a game engine from the pasts generations and and start making fun and captivating games, that will show this people that they don't have spend a lot of money to make good games

This was an exclusive ps3 game.what is gaming coming too,its gonna be very boring if everygame made goes multi plat.its fact the ps3 is more powerful then the 360 so this game will have to be toned down now to fit on the xbox no matter how good/bad the game is it cant reach its full potential going multi plat. why dont they get some balls n take a chance instead of crying big budget now lets suck bill gates c**k

This wasn't confirmed by the developer or publisher. Aside from that Sony released time exlusivity of GTA IV, for the time exclusivity of this game. So, even if it goes multi-platform, Rockstar is under contract to give the game to PS3 owners first, then they will "dumb" down the 360 version to get it to fit on DVD.

so who really cares if it ever comes to the 360 as long as we get it also,dumping it yyy??? the 360 equals the ps3 in power(each with its pros and cons),but the ps3 has the edge with its blue-ray,so multidisks everyone,don't start the hate mail ,i have both and i love both , i think the ps3 has a great future but the 360 has a better library for now at least.
and BTW MASSEFFECT was on one dvd and it's huge(and a AAA game ).cheers

First off, Why does PSU never include a link so I don't have to go digging around. Second off from my understanding correct me if I am wrong. The publisher hasn't confirmed this right? Third, Yes I think I remember this becoming a PS3 exclusive they said a few months ago. Saying Its to "Big" for 360 and it can't run it. Much like many other developers say. We might lose this but oh well. I started liking it when it was going to be Epic because only PS3 can handle it. Now that I know both systems can it will surely suck expecially if they started out makeing both then went to PS3 and now going back to both. Also stop saying get over it! How about this. Go Away! I am a Sony Fan and I want to see them win this generation. One less exclsuive is one more hit. So go away.
