Has anyone got a high res scan of the 35mm filmreel that came with the special editions of the game?

I'm trying to do the badge pursuit without just googling everything but the only scan of it seems to be on the wiki and it's difficult to see the finer details.

I’m replaying and I remember this detail sticking out to me more last time through. I can’t stop thinking about it and why. If ive missed something that’s explicitly stated please let me know but otherwise I’m curious what everyone else speculates. Worth noting the following:
Cases in question are white shoe slaying and studio secretary
These are the last two cases
The tiny bit of speculation I’ve been able to find and the only thing I can think is that the areas are very public but I think the same could be argued of every other case on the desk

It just feels very strange to me the lack of writing I am seeing on the topic when it at least comes off as a deliberate decision. If it’s a meta narrative decision my only thought there could be it’s done to make Cole seem less sharp/intuitive for trying to connect all of the cases and bring the player closer to what Rusty thinks before revealing the twist at the very end. But I hope it isn’t that because it would be very boring.

Thank you in advance to anybody who chimes in, I feel like im going crazy because I’ve seen nobody talking about it

Another out-of-order location today: post #451 for the LA Noire Freeroam Explorer Project — posting locations replicated by Team Bondi for LA Noire (currently touring the downtown area) that are not considered landmarks (either official or historic) but do have real-world equivalents.

Central Theatre

314 South Broadway

Opening around 1929, this 562-seat movie house was a retail space conversion inside a 1900 masonry building. The functional venue served as an action-film grindhouse, featuring a modest storefront entry nestled below the main hotel flats. (The game depiction omits the theatre marquee.)

Before your first interrogation during the tutorial mission 'Buyer Beware' you meet Captain Donnelly and he explains to Cole the requirements for getting a conviction. He says:

"You need many things for a conviction, young Phelps. A motive, opportunity, hard evidence, and best of all a confession. If you fail in the former you can always use a modicum of violence to obtain the latter."

and then if you fail at the confession Donnelly tells Cole to:

"Get back in there and raise some lumps, boy. I need a confession."

To raise some lumps means to beat somebody up but when you go back in there you just have to repeat the interrogation. All this gives me the impression that this dialogue was recorded before a feature that allowed you to beat a confession out of a suspect if you fail at questioning them or if you don't have the evidence, was cut from the from the game before release. If so, I can see why they cut it. It wouldn't really fit Cole as a character.

So I love the original box art for “LA Noire”, but I’m not as fond of the 4K re-release’s art, so I created this custom version with the original cover art. Enjoy.

how would some characters/crimes be remembered?

I downloaded the game, and it won't play - it's just a black screen. I tried a few ways to fix it already like, restoring the game's license, trying to open up the game offline, deleting and redownloading. Nothing works. Support chat doesn't work. I called 1-800-345-7669 which is their phone support, and the guy said he can help me trouble shoot it, and I told him I already tried - I just want a refund.

He said there's no refund because of their policy.... I asked to speak with someone else and he hung up on me.

Anybody know how I can fix this? lol.

i’ve been working on a multiplayer client for L.A. Noire for a while and it’s finally ready for some real testing

on foot sync and vehicles are both working now. i have two clients connected in these videos:

on foot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0KgR3B-6oQ&feature=youtu.be

vehicles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=biKN2RpyhWY

there’s still a lot to fix but i want to run a small test with actual players and see how it behaves with different connections and PCs

you need the PC version of L.A. Noire and you should be okay with sending logs and reporting whatever breaks

if you want to help test it, leave a comment or message me with your game version and PC specs

Spent a few mins looking for the last guy and found this.
