L.A. Noire is still happening, coming along 'splendidly' photo

Again: L.A. Noire is still happening. In a recent fan Q&A, Rockstar Games confirmed that the 1940s-themed game remains in development, and more importantly, things were going smoothly with it. Details on the title, however, will remain scarce for the time being. “While we have yet to announce a definitive release date, L.A. Noire is coming along quite splendidly,” the Rockstar representative wrote, “and we’re going to have details to share with you all very soon.”

Earlier this month, Take-Two confirmed its existence as well. But the publisher didn’t call it a Team Bondi game. Instead, it was identified as a Rockstar Games, uh, game -- a sign that something may have changed.

L.A. Noire
isn’t slated as a 2010 release, so we’ll have to see how “soon” is “very soon,” but we remain hopeful that Rockstar will dish out the goods in a timely manner. The developer isn't in the business of holding back, that's for sure.

[Update: I don't know how I managed it, but I changed a word Rockstar's quote. Many apologies; “swimmingly” has been changed to “splendidly,” the original wording. --Brad]

I don't believe you, Rockstar. I don't believe you.

"Swimmingly." That's a nifty word!

Breaking: nothing has changed since the last time you read something on the Internet.

I hear this Wii game called "Sadness" is doing pretty well too. Who the fuck needs Bioshit 2, Mass Eshit 2, and God of Shit III next year when we have LA Noir, Sadness, and Duke Nukem Forever?

so this game was announced to have the biggest budget every of any video game right? As of this moment GTA4 had the highest budget of any released game and it just broke even a few months ago right? How the hell does rockstar expect a new IP to break even if it does not have GTA or HALO attached to the title.

I'm confused. Are you saying you made up the word "swimmingly"? But, that is a word. And it would have worked perfectly fine there.

Or, am I dense and missed something? That's totally possible.

No, last night the post said "...L.A. Noire is coming along quite swimmingly." Since then, it seems to have been changed to "splendidly." WTF.
