Friends, PC gamers, countrymen, lend me your ears: Team Bondi’s critically acclaimed 1940’s crime solving game L.A. Noire is hitting the PC this fall. In a recent post on the Rockstar Newswire, the company confirmed that they have heard the cries of their PC faithful, who have rightly felt a little left out after not seeing a version of Red Dead Redemption on their platform of choice last year.
While no exact release date was confirmed in the post itself, I’m going to go ahead and guess it will come out in November, along with about ninety percent of the other games this fall. The game will feature support for the mouse and keyboard setup along with the option to use a controller, and it will be able to run 3D if your rig is set up that way.
So there you have it, PC gamers, Rockstar does care about you after all. L.A. Noire was a favorite around the GamerSushi offices (or it would be if such a place existed), so I’m glad that everyone who missed out on playing it over the summer will get a chance to do so later this year. Hopefully you didn’t listen to our spoiler cast too intently, although due to some people (*cough* Jeff and Anthony *cough*) not finishing the Homicide desk, it was pretty light on the reveals.
Now that you know that L.A. Noire is coming to the PC, what say you? Are you going to be picking it up? How do you think the game’s mechanics will blend in with the PC control scheme? Does this give you hope for future Rockstar games?

That’s great news! Any of you guys who’ve yet to experience it should do so. Now if you excuse me I have yet to get round to finishing it myself.
Hopefully RDR will come out too.
YAY! Gonna grab it for sure, in hopes that if it does well they’ll release an RDR anniversary edition or something. I’ve heard a lot of people had issues with the controls, so hopefully with the tuning of a mouse we can get some good shoots out of this. I know that’s not the “heart & soul” of the game, but hopefully it’ll make a difference.
woooooooooo. And they would have done it with red dead too if not for all the hits on the pirated copy. So much compared to normal game.
As much as I’d love to play some of these games on my PC, I dread the inevitable crashes that will plague my computer during gameplay. I’ve noticed that games ported onto the computer from platforms like the PS3 and 360 have a higher rate of crashes than standard PC games (It may be that my computer wants to die anyway).
I’m curious as to whether this would occur in reverse, from PCs to platforms.
Fantastic, this is great news. Even if November is going to destroy my wallet. And it gives me hope that RDR might eventually come to PC as well. Its the only Rockstar game that hasn’t been ported at some point isn’t it?
