Rockstar drops L.A. Noire trailer

So, there is this little video game company called Rockstar that has released a handful of indie titles called Grand Theft something, and recently one about a cowboy called Red Dead Redemption that gained a little cult following– possibly stemming from the 5 million or so copies of the game that shipped. You may have heard of them.

Rockstar’s next big project comes in the form of a 1940s-style crime game called L.A. Noire. As the title suggests, the game leans heavily on the noir style made famous in the 1940s and 50s, and includes elements of jazz, corruption, and hardboiled crime. The game is set in what is being described as a perfect recreation of LA in the late 1940s, and you travel around the open world of the city while attempting to solve a series of murders.

The trailer below highlights the look and feel of the game, as well as some of the gameplay you can expect. LA Noire has been announced for the PS3 and Xbox 360, and you can expect it sometime in Spring of 2011.

Warning: This trailer may not be suitable for all ages.

Surfaced patent shows what an Xbox streaming console would’ve looked like
An Xbox Series X sits next to both Series S models.

There have been a few Xbox devices that have never come to fruition, one of which was Keystone, a prototype for an affordable game streaming device you could hook up to your TV or monitor. Thanks to a surfaced patent, we've gotten an even closer look at what it would've potentially looked like.

The patent, first spotted by Windows Central, gives us a more complete view of the device. We've previously seen the Keystone in the flesh. Microsoft Gaming head Phil Spencer is known for hiding teases and interesting collectibles on the shelf in his office. In a 2022 X (formerly Twitter) post congratulating Bethesda on Fallout's 25th anniversary, you can see a small white device on the top shelf that's actually a Keystone prototype. Xbox told Digital Trends that it was a version of the device made before it decided to "refocus our efforts on a new approach.”
