In an unexpected bit of news, it’s been announced that the upcoming Rockstar Games crime title, L.A. Noire, has officially been selected to the Tribeca Film Festival.
Yes, you read that correctly: a video game has been chosen as a selection at a film festival — the first to achieve such an impressive feat. The game uses unbelievable performance capture technologies that present flawless facial expressions and lip synchronization unlike anything we’ve ever seen in a game. This plays into the game’s crime solving gameplay, where you’ll need to read many different people, decide whether they’re telling the truth or not, and choose your questions carefully based on your reads.
On April 25, some world exclusive footage from the game will be shown to those who are in attendance at the festival’s Tribeca Talks panel, followed by a live demonstration of one of the game’s cases you’ll have to solve.
Speaking on the announcement, Tribeca chief creative officer Geoff Gilmore said “What Rockstar and Team Bondi have accomplished with L.A. Noire is nothing less than groundbreaking. It’s an invention of a new realm of storytelling that is part cinema, part gaming, and a whole new realm of narrative expression, interactivity, and immersion. We are poised on the edge of a new frontier.”
L.A. Noire hits stores on May 17, and you can pre-order the game on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 right now.
