L.A. Noire the retro mystery open world game has been slated for a 2009 release since it was first revealed. Oddly enough, Take 2 has not included L.A. Noire in it’s 2009 release schedule.
“On its latest release schedule for the 2009 fiscal year, LA Noire – the title originally announced as a PS3 exclusive – was notably absent.”
Perhaps this is just some posturing to give BioShock 2 the press buzz it deserves. Otherwise we might not see this title until 2010.
