LA Noire Story Trailer: Atmosphere Fits the Title

Well, I talked about how LA Noire's release date was accidentally revealed via a leaked trailer that Rockstar pulled immediately. Well they recently officially released the trailer and officially confirmed the game's release date for May 17th.

The story looks like your typical film noir storyline, and it appears that it will have all the cliches that we've come to expect. But that's not a bad thing. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, if the writing is strong, even cliches can't hold a story back. Look at Mass Effect for example. Every sci-fi cliche possible but it's so well-written that you don't even care.

Not to mention that LA Noire is being made as a tribute to film noir hence the name. And from what I see in this trailer and the trailers that preceded it, it appears that it may succeed at doing just that. As said, before LA Noire hits stores on May 17th, and I can't wait to try it out. Will we have another masterpiece from Rockstar? We'll see.
