We all knew that Rockstar’s next epic, LA Noire, would be a cinematic experience, but this trailer, made entirely from in-game footage, shows just how film-like the experience will be.  Sadly, there’s no gameplay on display, but that’s okay; this game looks so good I don’t just want to play it; I want to watch it.

With some of the most realistic faces I’ve ever seen in a game, LA Noire looks to be Rockstar’s finest achievement from a visual standpoint, and the script and voice acting seem first-class, just as we’ve come to expect from the studio.  I can’t wait to see how the people behind the GTA series and Red Dead Redemption handle a mystery game set in 1940s Los Angeles.  So far everything looks great, but we’ll have to wait until May 17 to see if it all pans out.
