  • The game will be a free-roaming title with a historically-accurate recreation of Los Angeles in 1947.
  • Team Bondi has even hired a costume designer to research the clothing of the era so the game's attire can be accurate.
  • Aside from main story, side missions will be based on actual cases pulled straight of the newspapers of 1947.
  • A US Marine plays a big role in the story.
  • Not so exclusive...but LA Noire maybe definitely ain't coming to Xbox 360, the size of the game maybe is an obstacle to this.
UPDATE: I'd like to see hello to possibly every employee of Team Bondi...or at least the majority that have visited this blog. Brendan, I thought The Getaway was really quite underrated.

I'm sorry that I don't have any stories relating to Australia. I'm going to start, judging by the MySpace pages of both candidates, I officially endorse Kevin Rudd for PM because the fact that the Liberal logo looks like logo for a tennis shoe company and John Howard seems to have seriously messed up your electoral system. Remember Australians, iVOTE says "voting...cool as f#ck" and that it is true. And I watch The Chaser's War on Everything and I listen to Sunday Night Safran. I can't figure on any other way to pander to you guys. G'day mates and enrol.

UPDATE #2: Who the hell is Dallas? Why would someone from Australia be named Dallas? Since when has there been a Kotaku Australia? How did this post get on Kotaku Australia?

UPDATE #3: 2,774 readers so far today, wow, t.hat is...more than five times my log limit. I promise I'll one up this with a mindblowing exclusive like what hair dye Ron Paul uses or the Sam Donaldson's new girlfriend. Hello, people from Take-Two Games and the subsidiaries of Take-Two Games. Don't forget to stay for my feature on popular garden decorations from the 1960s and the influence they have today.

UPDATE #4: I'm not Australian and there are no plans for a PC release.

UPDATE #5: Sony is not funding this game, the McNamara-Sony relationship is not the best. Researching 1947 crime ain't exactly too difficult.

Stand with the Burmese Protestors

After decades of military dictatorship, the people of Burma are rising – and they need our help. Marches begun by monks and nuns snowballed, bringing hundreds of thousands to the streets. Now the crackdown has begun, but the protests are spreading...

When the Burmese last marched in 1988, the military massacred thousands. If the world stands up and supports their struggle, this time they could win. We're in a race against time-- targeting the dictatorship's main backer China in a global advertising campaign, delivering the petition to the UN secretary-general and sending the Burmese our support via radio

Email your friends and family and others, do whatever you can to spread the word. With your help, we'll be at the dawning of a great age, one where we see a free Burma.
