L.A. Noire racks up 4 million in sales, will come to PC

By Jeffrey Van Camp June 24, 2011

PC gamers rejoice! Rockstar has confirmed that L.A. Noire is coming to PC this fall. Previously available only on the PS3 and Xbox 360, the hit detective game will get some enhancements for its computer debut including keyboard remapping and 3D support. This news comes on the heels of Rockstar revealing that it has sold 4 million copies of the game since its debut on May 17, 2011. An impressive feat for a brand new series.

L.A. Noire puts you in the role of a detective in the 1940s, paying homage to classic detective movies. The game has been critically acclaimed for its mix of open world and detective gameplay. Thanks to an advanced facial animation system, character facial animation is much quicker and more realistic than any game we’ve seen allowing you to actually read people and attempt to determine if they’re lying as you interview them. We gave L.A. Noire a 9 out of 10 when we reviewed it for the PlayStation 3.

We’re hoping that the game becomes available on PC platforms like Steam as well.

This one, crucial thing will make or break the Apple Vision Pro

Apple Vision Pro headset seen from the side.

I’m hugely excited about the Apple Vision Pro, but I’m also aware of how much of a risk it is. Not because it’s a hugely expensive VR headset — but because I wear spectacles to correct my vision. I’m not alone either, obviously. The Vision Council claims more than 166 million adults in the U.S. do the same, and the number may reach 2.2 billion when the entire world is taken into account.

Apple needs to take spectacle wearers as seriously as it does the technology inside the Vision Pro and the 23-million-pixel displays we will stare at. Because if millions of people aren’t reassured right from the start that they will comfortably be able to see what’s going on, then they simply aren’t going to buy it.
