According to sources at WWG, Rockstar Games is planning on a L.A Noire remaster for PlayStation 4, PC, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.

 

Reports on a remaster of the 2011 crime thriller date back to January, with one in particular claiming the L.A. Noire remaster would ship in late summer. Furthermore, it has also been suggested that the game will also support PlayStation VR, and include a first-person view similar to the PS4 and Xbox One editions of Grand Theft Auto 5.

The Rockstar insider who initially leaked the news earlier this year is worth a punt, as he correctly outed the Lost and the Damned DLC for Grand Theft Auto 4 years back. Still, nothing official has been confirmed as of yet, so file this with a pinch of salt until we hear something from Rockstar or Take-Two. 

L.A. Noire was originally released on the PS3, PC, and Xbox 360 in 2011, and was developed by Team Bondi. The game takes place during post-war 1940s, with players controlling Los Angeles Police Department member Cole Phelps as he progresses through his career across four bureaus: Traffic, Homicide, Vice, and Arson. 

L.A. Noire makes use of an innovative technology known as Motion Scan, allowing gamers to scrutinize a character’s facial features to deduce whether they are lying or telling the truth in order to progress through a case. In addition to the detective work, the game also doffs its cap to contemporary third-person action games, with Phelps and his co-workers getting mixed up in heated shootouts with local criminals, as well as adrenaline-fueled chase sequences while in pursuit of a suspect. 

Initially, L.A. Noire was going to be published by Sony Computer Entertainment as a PS3-exclusive, although publishing duties were later handed over to Rockstar Games. The project endured a number of delays, having been in development since 2004, although it was met with critical and commercial success, shipping over five million copies worldwide as of February 2012.
