I played this game once, completed it. I still remember every mission and aspect of the storyline. It was literally like playing a movie

Where was the weed mission then

[@sneakysnakepie1]

we need a la noire 2

[@truefilm1556]

Absolutely! And please keep the setting. We all know that film noir is 1940s L.A. - before cars got tail fins and lost them again. Spoiler alert!!! There is a way to bring Phelps back. We didn't see him die. Jason Bourne anyone? Phelps can be a private detective now (say one year later: 1948). No amnesia - and his old colleagues are still around, some bitching, some helping him out. That would be just perfect!

I get that 'Noire' is generally applied to the 40s cop aesthetic, but I'd kill for a sequel to be set in 1960s LA Muh ADAM-12 and Dragnet

[@k3rry16]

The one about the actor in the orange suit is no easter egg the game has real life actors and people playing them over 70 i think.

[@davidvillarrius6313]

9:36 It's "The Big Sleep." Not the big sheep.

[@andrewpearce5477]

I laughed at that as well

[@MartinHughes1991]

The two burglary detectives, Caldwell and McManus (Manifest Destiny) are named after two Scottish footballers who both played in defence for Celtic. Previous Rockstar links to Celtic can be found in the virtual horse racing in GTA San Andreas, where one horse is named Henrik's Jaw, a reference to Celtic legend Henrik Larsson suffering a broken jaw not long before the game's release.

[@pothatuu]

Okay, so the guy in the orange shirt is not a direct reference to "Two and a Half Men". He just has an orange shirt. Second, the Mad Men episode where Ken Cosgrove tap dances came out two years after LA Noire. The fact that Max Payne lives in apartment 304A is merely a coincidence (in LA Noire, the A is simply for Antonia). All of the husbands in the Homicide cases have lost their wives, are they all references to Max Payne as well? The Getaway is not a Rockstar Game... "Stairway to Heaven" is a real cocktail. The hat in the bin isn't even the same time of hat as John Marston's. The Pig N Whistle was a real chain of cafe from L.A, it's not a specific reference to Chinatown. Also, a Pig N Whistle doesn't even APPEAR in Chinatown! There's no Chandler book called "The Big Sheep", did you mean "The Big Sleep"? The SW on the radio stands for "Short Wave", and the only sounds you picked up were the local radio...not unusual. Aside from that, interesting video!

[@WuTangWarrior]

I can understand everything you're saying except for the max Payne Easter egg. It's a clear intended nod to a game they've made in the past. The point of an Easter egg can sometimes be that subtle and 'coincidental' because it's hidden in plain sight. Rockstar are known for putting small detail Easter eggs like that in other games as well.

[@lieutenantjoker2957]

@@WuTangWarrior Rockstar didn't make Max Payne though. They own the IP now and they made the third game but at the time they didn't own and they hadn't made a Max Payne game. Also L.A Noire at first wasn't even made by rockstar, Later they turned into rockstar whatever but they were just a developer under Take Two interactive.

[@lieutenantjoker2957]

Totally agree, A lot of them are a big stretch and some are blatantly wrong and the video has a lot of incorrect information. Like Rockstar didn't develop Max Payne, and you could say L.A Noire wasn't even a rockstar game, because at the time the developers had a different name, but shortly before the game came out Take Two interactive (who owned Rockstar and this studio) just made them into a new rockstar studio in sydney. That's it.

[@ChrisMaxCisneros]

Its funny cause its true lol

[@Triple-Four]

@@lieutenantjoker2957 They didnt make Max Payne 1 but its a very obvious nod to a game series that they own and most of the devs probably played the hell out of it when they were younger.

[@thevideocommenter3061]

1:25 lmao they made Cole Phelps into a real thing

Cole Phelps is actually based on a actual man you can see it in motion capture and bts of la noire

The Getaway was Team Soho game developed by Sony Computer Entertainment

[@JoseBernal]

You are right. The conection is with Brendan McNamara who directed The Getaway and later founded Bondi Studio, He also wrote an directed L.A. Noire.

[@HanallaIsHere]

I've been toying around with the idea of getting it. Now I'm definitely getting it.

[@samuelmorse784]

Johnny come lately

[@Stan_man]

I think max payne 1 and 2 was developed by remedy and publisher was rockstar.

[@kingbanditcoot7684]

Stan Yeah and The Getaway is not developed by Rockstar, but by Team Soho.

[@BigBoss-rr4sw]

it was, only 3 was made by rockstar

[@marcin5690]

LA Noire was also only published by Rockstar

[@RYx222]

@Falco Gaming Team Soho had nothing to do with La noire

[@b1xst3r65]

Max Payne 2 had some insane graphics for 2003.

[@killedbykato]

idk if this counts as a secret but "tylor chase" the actor who plays martin in neds declassified plays minor character hank newbern and also exists as an npc throughout the game. which as someone who grew up watching neds declassified its so funny to see martin roaming 1950's LA in full regalia.

[@cweeka422]

My most favorite game ever made

[@advait9253]

I've got one more. Dr. Harlan Fontaine and Micah Bell from Red Dead Redemption 2 have been mo-capped by the same actor.

[@_Peremalfait]

6:25 The names in the El Mar Hotel registry aren't really proper Easter eggs. It's understood this is the kind of hotel where people don't register under their real names, but rather use the name of a famous person instead.

[@j-game]

You forgot a few things, in the notebook that had fake names (that were actually real) you could flip to the next page for more names. Also, in the first patrol case where you visit the apartment to apprehend Schroeder you can see that on the apartment mail box there is a Friday the 13th reference with the name "T. Jarvis" on the 4th room.

[@leevanciel3397]

I noticed that also i was wow

[@giovahnnigucci409]

I bought this game for $9.99 from Ebay. It arrived yesterday and so far I love it!!!!

[@damndaniel7618]

You missed an Easter egg or Reference. In the first mission "Upon Reflection", If you check at the names at the notebook at the gun shop carefully,you will see a last name "Rosenberg" which references "Ken Rosenberg" from GTA Vice City.

[@andresmazzocchi]

I'd add the character Curtis Benson which to me is obviously named after Curtis Hanson, director of "L.A. Confidential".

[@diptonsauce1985]

i wonder if when he mentions Galloway is a drunk, if "Bekowsky" was hinting to the writer, Charles Bukowski, since he lived in the LA noire times off of Hollywood blvd

[@kingbanditcoot7684]

Great work on this video bro.👍 The Getaway was developed by Team Soho btw, but anyways great catch.

[@JoseBernal]

Brendan McNamara who directed The Getaway and later founded Bondi Studio, He also wrote an directed L.A. Noire.

[@jamesmcinroy9927]

Also with the Nero Wolffe thing, there's another one that reads L. Dudley, which is probably a reference to leautenant Dudley, from the LA Quartet book series which this game borrows a lot from

[@mac_the_knife8740]

The cowboy riding the mechanical horse in the opening cutscene is wearing John Marstons actual hat.

[@RSNTM3NT]

LA Noire, Midnight Club and Max Payne are in the same universe (Because they based real life city, of course) GTA, BULLY, and MANHUNT are in the same UNIVERSE ALSO. IS RED DEAD IS THE SAME UNIVERSE AS LA NOIRE, MIDNIGHT CLUB and MAX PAYNE? Well, they references New York and real life city, so I think they are connected.

[@KC.45]

Probably not, since LA Noire was developed by Team Bondi and published as a Rockstar Games title.

[@FrancisMarcosGaming]

Rockstar WAS NOT involved in making The Getaway because the game would have had a PC port using Renderware if they were

The tap dancing scene is NOT a EASTER EGG it was JUST A CONINCIDENCE as the mad men episode with that didn't come out till 2 years AFTER LA NOIRE even released!! It's funny as that's the most replayed thing in the video but is actually not a EE unless mad men is actually referencing LA noire somehow
