LA Noire looks like [censored]. Rockstar really has to give up the GTA-style genre.
I'm looking forward to L.A. Noire because I've had a blast playing GTA games and Red Dead Redemption. They are implementing the use of MotionScan which is a downright fantastic idea for a detective type game.
I understand that the OP was bashing brink and touting L.A. Noire, but that doesn't mean you need to do the opposite. I've had a fantastic time playing Brink (although I do wish there were actual people talking in Multiplayer, but that's not the fault of anyone but the players) and am also looking forward to L.A. Noire arriving in the mail tomorrow. They're two drastically different games, and I have no doubt that I will enjoy each immensely.
