L.A. Noire developer now hiring - Blu-ray Forum

Rockstar and Team Bondi are hiring for what may be the final L.A. Noire development push.

Positions ranging from modellers and artists to designers and programmers are all waiting to be filled, according to the developer's website.

This increased activity supports the autumn 2009 release prediction made by Game Developer's Association of Australia boss Tom Crago last September.

L.A. Noire, however, has not been shown to anyone, nor have we seen anything more than a rendered teaser trailer or read anything other than a brief synopsis.

"L.A. Noire is an interactive detective story set in the classic noire period of the late 1940s," reads that synopsis on the game's website.

"L.A. Noire blends action, detection and complex storytelling and draws players into an open-ended challenge to solve a series of gruesome murders. Set in a perfectly recreated Los Angeles before freeways, with a post-war backdrop of corruption, drugs and jazz, L.A. Noire will truly blend cinema and gaming."

Such secrecy dampens our hopes of a 2009 release, but we should at least hear more on L.A. Noire this year - perhaps at E3 in June. Rockstar had nothing further to add.

That's definitely good news for those who feared that LA Noire had been relegated to vaporware.
Now .. given the present bluriness of the status of this title, it might be better to remove the "PS3 exclusive" in the title of the thread, because for a second I thought it had been confirmed as such recently

:'( It's been far too long since this was announced, and we don't know jazz about it. Team Bondi, please don't let me down!

I thought a while ago somebody (many bodies actually) told me that since Sony is no longer paying for it's developement, it's not going to be PS3 exclusive, but don't forget about that announcement they made just a little while ago about matching Developement Costs, so it may just be, once again, an exclusive.

I have No Proof.

Unfortunately, I'm going to have to agree with jkwest... I don't see any clarifying announcements being made until E3....

So glad that there has been some small news on this title, I thought it was dead

hopefully E3 will give us what we want
