L.A. Noire writer/director Brendan McNamara is getting back on the saddle following Team Bondi's demise, putting together a brand new game with a rather flavorful title. It's called Whore of the Orient, and word of its development comes by way of Aussie production company KMM.
No details have been provided, but McNamara says the game is based on "one of the greatest untold stories of the twentieth century." It would seem very possible that the subject matter concerns Mata Hari, the courtesan who was executed in Paris on suspicion of espionage.
I loved L.A. Noire so I'll definitely be intrigued by whatever he has coming. That said, KMM is also working on a Mad Max game, so Brendan will have to work extra hard to draw my attention. Because, y'know, Mad Max!

If you know what I mean.
And then here we are.
...right?
But with their facial technology, maybe we'll see accurate orgasms in a video game so sex scenes don't look like two puppets flapping around.
I hate you auto-correct.
Now I really hate auto-correct.
that could make a pretty decent game: you could get trust of 2 warring nations, getting information and chosing wich side would benefit from your work (or neither side at all, you could just sell the info to terrorists and criminals). All this espionage, blackmailing, seduction, interrogatory and other stuff while always making sure no one knows your real intentions and that you're working for both countries
add the possibility of giving false information whenever you want and we'd have potential for am excellent game
But if it does involve Mata Hari, it could turn out to be very interesting.
