Honestly whats the likely hood of a Wii version being in development? I would remove that mention. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bushido Brown (talk • contribs)
- The article states: Although originally announced for the PlayStation 3, publisher representitives have made a point of listing it for "next generation consoles." RobJ1981 08:08, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
doesn't mean it's coming to the 360, wait until it is announced before putting that on here.
It's been proven that it's on 360 if you bothered to red the edits.
Do you have a link to this statement that specifies that its on the xbox 360? It only stated as nex gen consoels (which is weird since nex gen is current gens). Although its highly unlikely, it can be PS3/Wii. If you placed that in there just because of speculations, you shouldnt, thats not how it works. It most likely be on xbox 360, no doubt, but as long as its not announced for it you should place it.
The next-gen console statements
I've added in a paragraph which references two IGN articles as well as a press release from Take Two. If anyone feels it necessary to make changes to (or remove) these notes then I think it should be discussed here first so we can reach a collective decision.
When R* Games were announced as being the publisher for the game, IGN posted an article where at the end they make it sound as if they asked for a release date. From their quote it sounds like they were not given one, but were told by R* that they should list it for next gen consoles, yet they weren't told any specific ones...
It is important to note that LA Noire was originally announced for the PS3 (which I also referenced with another IGN article). Now with the second quarter financial results press release from Take Two published recently, it appears from that that the game has gone back to being a PS3 exclusive - there are other games listed for multiple platforms while LA Noire is just listed for PS3.
I've tried to explain and word this as fluidly as possible in the article and reading it to myself it does make sense, however if you think you can reword it better then please go ahead.

- "Take-Two title LA Noire is due out in fiscal 2008. The spokesperson suggested that both Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 releases are likely, stating, "LA Noire is being developed for next-generation systems." [1]
- Seems that its multi-plat; but, I've not read the whole article totally, and you dont include the links your mentioning. Which part do you mean?
- Can you post your links repudating the link I provide above? Thanks.
