Side note FUCK I LOVE LA NOIRE! I just love driving around back in time. I also just love hearing Bing Crosby and Billie Holliday and old ads. I love that kind of stuff.

My dream of a sandbox game some day we can enter any room of any building. custom radio stations. Shop and have a pad. I would also have a NOIRE one but as a private dick. Also like to have a modern day beat up sandbox game in Japan....all of it. No guns.

[Who Really Cares?]

Sandbox = where the player has tools to modify the world themselves and create how they play.[See Minecraft]

Games like Shenmue, GTA, Noire, Elderscrolls, Watchdogs and so on are Open world.

You really should try Sleeping Dogs. Open world game in HK and it only gives a gun now and then, most the time its hand to hand combat.

Shenmue NOIRE.

Why because for me personally that is what it is. In many aspects wows me as much as Shenmue did. yes the faces are one. The atmosphere od the time and place. Granted no where near as good as Shenmue. Shenmue lite for me. Really gotta say my fave R* game yet. Sure might change with RDR....I just don't wan't to see Manimals

EDIT: Sorry OL DP.

Made by 2 brothers and coming to PC at the end of the month. On an island with 1 monster chasing you

Miasmata has one of the more intriguing premises for a horror game I've seen lately. You're stranded on a tropical island where one very specific creature is doggedly hunting you down.

You play as a scientist who's fallen victim to a plague on a long-abandoned island called Eden. Your only hope is to search for a cure, as well as your missing colleagues who set up an outpost there. As you explore the island, you'll have to run experiments on gathered plants and fungi to determine their medicinal value.

Since Miasmata is so heavily based around one creature's AI there's been a lot of attention given to this aspect. "He responds to sounds, smell, and has a vision-cone," Bob Johnson explained to Eurogamer. "You can duck behind trees and rocks and things, and you can also hide in tall grasses and bushes. Objects on the ground have different properties, so if you step on some crunchy sticks or leaves, he may become more aware of you."

When asked if you'll have any way to fight back, Bob responded, "The creature is invincible, but you will have to fight him sometimes in order to get an opportunity to flee. You can use rocks, sticks, knives, torches, etc. to attack him. This may scare him away for awhile. You can also throw objects in another direction and that may distract him. You'll throw a torch, for example, and his head will follow it and he may go investigate it. He'll become progressively more dangerous as you go through the game."

Outside of evasion, explorations will play a key role as players will have to use landmarks to determine their position on the giant island. "There are notes and little hand-drawn maps the player will discover that begin to populate points-of-interest on the player's map," Bob explained. These can be used to triangulate one's position and reveal a small portion of the map. "Once the player's triangulated himself, he can then sight 'unknown' landmarks in the distance. If he sights an 'unknown' landmark from two different vantage points, that landmark will then become 'known', and thus revealed on the map."

Nearest place that still has Arcade machines is about 20 miles away from me and its a bowling ally so not sure how up to date their stuff is.

[Riku Rose]

^Yeah I have a bowling alley with a few arcade machines about a mile away. Went in there about 2 years ago and all they had was Time Splitters 2 and some Guitar Hero game. I went to another place on some pier about 2 years ago and had no idea what any of the machines where. They must have been recent because they had some gun game based on the last Terminator movie.

Arcades are dead it just doesn't make sense paying a quid for 5 minutes when you can buy a game on XBLA or PSN for a little more.

Damn dog tipped over my xbox and ruined my LA Noire disk 3.So close to the end too...

Major TToSH spoiler...

Holmes just shot himself in the head. WTF? I know he blatantly isn't dead (especially considering there's an achievement titled "Lazarus") but this story's gettin more and more random by the minute. The payoff better be fuckin worth it...
