Yeah, but SCD videos were always really low-res and grainy. It'd be nice to have real actors, but DVD quality picture.

Impressive tech! Human skin is very hard to reproduce! Theres only one tech demo from nvidia that was released about 3-4 years ago that got it right! You guys should check it out and download the demo from the nvidia website! Runs great on most hardware :)

Just finished this game on Windows. I have to say that despite the hand-holding and sombre ending, not to mention the controversy surrounding Rockstar's wronging of Bondi, LA Noire is a very good adventure/interactive movie game with high production values and decent performances. It's definitely superior to David Cage's efforts, but feel free to disagree with that opinion :lol:
I just wish Brendan McNamara had elaborated on why Phelps would have cheated on his wife, his personal life was seldom touched upon.. with so many hours of gameplay it could have been crammed in there somewhere.
