It doesent show any game play it's all story line in that trailer.

I'm going to assume you haven't heard much about the game? The game has a motion-capture system where you can tell if people are lying by facial expressions and what not you are essentially a detective trying to solve a case.

That trailer is what the game play will be like and shows this motion capture technology by showing the perfect lip-synching and characters expressions and movements. Those are not just cut scenes

t's here, the first real trailer for gritty 40s detective game L.A. Noire and it's going to blow you away.

I've always been bothered by how out of sync, how unreal, digital actors look in video games. That's exacerbated in the sorts of games they expect you to read anything into the folks you run into in a game.

Imagine trying to tell if someone is lying to you when they're wearing an ill-fitting rubber mask. That's essentially the issue with most dialog-heavy video games, until now. If Rockstar is to be believed, this is a game created to "render every subtlety and nuance of an actor's facial expressions and emotions."

Why does that matter? Because in L.A. Noire you play a detective in the Los Angeles of the 1940s. Rockstar says the game has you trying to solve crimes through a "blend of classic action, clue-finding and interrogation, allowing players to analyze every subtle nuance of an actor's performance in order to get to the truth."

If they can do it, if these aren't just canned animations, then L.A. Noire could become an important piece of interactive fiction. More importantly, it could be one of the first games that allows you to use some of the real-world skills investigators tap into to solve crime.

I have terrible tastes in videogames and the attention span equivalent to that of a 5-year old girl therefore I will stick to ADHD-proof games such as COD.
