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.

The Asus ROG Ally just got a game-changing update

Asus ROG Ally handhelds side by side.

Asus' ROG Ally is one of the best handheld gaming PCs you can buy, and now it's getting even better. Asus is updating the handheld with AMD's Fluid Motion Frames (AFMF). This is a driver-level feature that adds frame generation to the majority of DirectX 11 and 12 games, which should vastly improve performance.

We've seen AFMF in action on AMD graphics cards previously. The feature launched late last year for desktop and mobile AMD graphics cards, but the ROG Ally oddly didn't support the feature. Asus' handheld uses the Ryzen Z1 chipset, which includes both an AMD processor and graphics card, but it uses its own specialized driver. Because of that, it didn't receive AFMF support right away.
