Description

A dark and violent crime thriller set against the backdrop of 1940’s Los Angeles, now in stunning virtual reality.

L.A. Noire: The VR Case Files places you directly in the shoes of Detective Cole Phelps as you solve brutal crimes, plots and conspiracies inspired by real cases from 1947 Los Angeles, one of the most corrupt and violent times in L.A. history.

Featuring seven cases rebuilt specifically for virtual reality, L.A. Noire: The VR Case Files adds new layers of immersion and realism to Rockstar Games’ atmospheric crime thriller as you solve select cases from the blockbuster original game, spanning mysteries from the Detective desks of Traffic, Arson, Homicide, and more.

• Search for clues by grabbing, inspecting and manipulating objects
• Get behind the wheel and drive to your next crime scene
• Engage in chases, fistfights and shootouts as you track down suspects
• Build your case by making notes or drawing freehand in your detective’s notebook
• Interrogate witnesses and use your wits to separate truth from lies in a city where everyone has something to hide

Sad reminder of what could have been... This is an amazing VR experience (when it actually works). -By far the best driving mechanics I have experienced in VR. -Boxing and gun fights are rudimentary, but fun. -Detective

It's just a tech demo. Early VR, primitive controls and movement. Not the entire game of LA Noire, just a selection of cases. Hopefully this means Rockstar will do something more with VR in the future. (Still waiting on

Have not been able to get this working due to one problem or another with the Rockstar Protection. Despite this saying that I have 20 plus hours in the game that was just the screen asking for me to add my Steam
