some parts of the trailer look to be inspired from the movie LA Confidential.

from IGN:
Will L.A. Noire live up to the hype and be one of the best games of 2011?

Here's what we know:
1. Rockstar has a proven track record (GTA, Bully, Red Dead Redemption, etc.)
2. L.A. Noire is something different than what Rockstar has done before (Hardboiled detectives, not rampant free-roaming violence)
3. It stars Aaron Staton, better known as Ken Cosgrove on Mad Men
4. There's some cool new tech being used to create realistic lip-synching and facial animations
5. It's coming pretty soon, maybe as early as April 2011!

no4 is pretty interesting and a step up for the industry!

2011 looks to be crazy for games: dungeon siege 3, 2 worlds 2, demon's souls 2 (presumably), ff13vs, ff14, batman and now this!

was planning to give this a pass until this vid. looks really good; wonder if all the cases are connected --- thought there was only 1 big case like heavy rain.
