L.A. Noire 2: 5 Reasons Rockstar Should Make It (And 5 Reasons To Avoid)

L.A Noire was re-released as a remaster for current generation consoles. The re-release, with updated visuals and all free downloadable content cases reignited fan's flickering flame of passion that had unfortunately died out. Released in November 2017, Rockstar Games even catered to Nintendo Switch users by porting the game over to the console.

To some, the re-release was Rockstar's attempt to make some extra sales. Others considered that it was a marketing tool as a way of building excitement for their upcoming release, Red Dead Redemption 2. But for many fans, it showed that Rockstar Games still cared to a certain degree about L.A Noire and the impact that it had, despite the niche market is was selling to.

The remaster was well received by players and the game had now been drawn back into the spotlight. It was suspected that the re-release indicated a potential sequel to the game. Additionally, due to its release on three platforms, L.A Noire seemed to have sold well. This may suggest that Rockstar's intentions were to test the waters in order to determine whether the franchise still had the audience for a new game.
