Rockstar says L.A Noire reveal coming next month
Rockstar Games have responded to a question regarding Team Bondi's L.A Noire in their Asked & Answered section on the Rockstar website. It looks like the wraps are coming off for the secretive and long-in-development detective thriller with a big reveal expected next month. From the Rockstar website....
“Your latest word on L.A. Noire is that it is coming along "splendidly" and that we can expect more details very soon, but that was in September. I've been anticipating this game for ages now and I was wondering if you can provide any new information or when in fact you'll publicly provide more information. By the way, is it still on the PS3?” – received via Mouthoff
There will be something great to see soon - a proper in-depth look at the game and why it is so ground breaking and innovative, both in terms of the game's design and the amazing new technology to support it. Expect to see a long-awaited reveal via a big cover story next month.

I know that lots of people in the Australian industry are very critical of Team Bondi and the L.A. Noire delays, but I am really hoping to see it turn out great, no matter how long it takes.

A friend of mine works at TB and he says it does look good and should be ready for a mid-year release :)
L.A. Noire is a laughing
L.A. Noire is a laughing stock among the staff at TB. Except the Soho untouchables who really think they have a fucking clue (lolno) and R* who think its srsbsns despite insisting on seagull management. Upper management are clueless morons, the leads are yes-men and the workers are whipping boys (and girls) too naive to know better.
Look for a 6/10 coming to a metacritic near you.

This will be one of those "my opinion is fact" posts then. How constructive.
Hmm - no. Clearly you're not
Hmm - no. Clearly you're not in the know. Or if you are - you're the upper management who doesn't want to admit how screwed things are and always have been.
I work for a different studio
I work for a different studio but that doesn't mean I have to pick fault with any of the others. If we supported each other rather than being so quick to enjoy any potential faults then the industry would be stronger.
The negativity on this site nowadays is incredible. It's like people are enjoying the decline of the industry.

I think its a bit silly to say anyone is enjoying this.
People can be critical and speak out without enjoying it.
Its a dead end political tactic to accuse someone who has an opposing view that they are 'enjoying' negativity.
What is happening here is
What is happening here is people are posting generic, negative opinions and offering nothing constructive in return. There is nothing more "dead end" than saying the ground-breaking "oh it's all down to bad management". What exactly does that mean? Underestimating of budgeting? Under-investment in technology/hardware? Over-expectations of milestones? Slow responses from out-sourced partners?
In truth the people posting these things don't know, they just want to be a part of this conversation to make themselves feel better. If they DID actually know specifics that were affecting this games development then they would obviously post them. As it is they just put "bad management" down and then nothing else.
So yes, I would say that people are enjoying this and will feel some weird satisfaction if LA Noire does not do well.

LA Noire is a turning point
LA Noire is a turning point for the AU industry, if this goes bad - we should see a very interesting next couple of years for the big guys. With another flop on our hands I fear for the likes of creative assembly, THQ and even kromes ability to secure big projects.
I think the time of the smaller casual game studios is fast approaching, because the larger folks are sweating employees like bullets, loosing projects, and generally like the poster above mentioned, churning out 6/10 games.
haha what crap.
haha what crap.
I dunno about that. I agree
I dunno about that. I agree with the part about smaller projects doing better. With the AUD almost on par with the USD less and less licenses are coming into Oz. I mean Krome is currently without a license for the first time in forever and their foray into online distribution (Blade Kitten) just gets laughed at by MS and Sony for being so terribad (GJ "Space Captain Steve") so unless it's a hit on Steam, which would be completely arbitrary and unjustified, then they'll need to pull a new IP out of their hats or start releasing the Ty games on XBLA and PSN.
THQ's doing okay despite losing the Warhammer license and Creative Assembly are pretty much just Sega Australia so they have work coming in too.
Smaller titles like Puzzle Quest are definitely going to be way to go. LA Noire exists only because Rockstar lets it exist and if what we hear about the horrible quality of both the game and the management is true then Rockstar may not be so keen to repeat their experiment into third party Australian development. Six or seven years of development doesn't exactly scream "We know what we're doing." Although having said that maybe Rockstar don't actually know what's best either after everything we've been hearing out of San Diego and Vancouver.
I think Anonymous is right. Australia is not going to be home to AAA games until the government gets behind them like in France and Canada or our dollar plummets and we become the English-speaking part of Asia again. So get a couple of devs working for a couple of months on something that'll sell for a few dollars and go the Pop-Cap route.
That is one of the things
That is one of the things that makes me wonder, with the amount of rtime that has been poured into Blade Kitten (basically like the resources of a smaller full retail game) Krome could have made 2-3 smaller XBLA/PSN/Steam games to try out new concepts. It was quite a while ago that Blade Kitten was first shown off wasn't it?
Does anyone know what has
Does anyone know what has happened/been happening to that project?
Without trolling it didn't look like any effort was put into the trailer. Did they end up investing in that project at all?
You mean Blade Kitten? Sony
You mean Blade Kitten? Sony and Microsoft refuse to publish it on XBLA and PSN because of how bad it is. A lot of time and money down the tube on that one. That's what they get for letting Steve make his neko jerkoff comic into a game.
You're so full of it...
It's leaking out your ears, buddy.
Well then I'll see it on XBLA
Well then I'll see it on XBLA and PSN soon and eat my words, 'k?

I hope it works out well, I really do. I hope it is the "break-out" title that people on this site and others have said that Australia needs -- and probably deserves to some extent. But if this game is a flop, then Team Bondi deserves all the wraith that they'll get from the locals and internationals; especially due to the damage such a whopping failure would wreak on the local industry and it's fragile if almost non-existent reputation.
...Blade Kitten... what a bad joke!
