DAILY MANIFESTO

L.A. Noire Outtakes Show What Sneezes Look Like In The 1940s

Posted on Friday, February 8 @ 20:00:00 Eastern by Daniel Bischoff

Tipster elmoreoocyte sends in this video of L.A. Noire actors blowing their lines in spectacularly awkward fashion. The trips, the fumbles, the sneezes, it's all captured in stunning detail thanks to the technology from Depth Analysis.

It's funny to see these outtakes now after the "story" of L.A. Noire is complete. It was a game seven years in development, lauded upon release for it's drama and use of technology, derided for its plot and repetitive gameplay. When I look back on it now, I wish some of these more human elements made it into the game. The "bad" performances above make the actors seem more relatable and human.

Whatever, I still hate you Cole Phelps. You were unfun to play as and a f***ing psychopath to boot.

That's a pretty funny video. I personally like the game and characters, I'd really liked to seen more with this, new characters, new or same timeline. I like the older style to it.

Serious uncanny valley stuff going on in my mind the other day when I watched this.

"A man's home is his property. So get the hell off my property. I'm sorry..."

You're welcome Bras, and thank you Dan.

Wow this does make the people in the game look more like actual humans. Granted, I never seen the actual game myself, but the outtakes make it look good when they screw up.

I loved LA Noire, the facial animations were revolutionary. Of course it was flawed in some ways, but I loved all the characters.

I liked the game until it the end of the homicide desk. God that plot twist was insulting.
And I second Dan's hatred of Cole. Actually, scratch that, every character in that game was an *******.

Hehe... this only makes the character seem more human. It's incredible!
