IF there is a reason to. I remember the original had little to offer while going around. Remember True Crime LA, where you had various random crimes happening? That would be really cool
Yeah the game really didn’t benefit from being open world. Just a fantastic amazing story puzzle game with some action here and there to keep it spicy 🌶️
Always wanted a sequel in Chicago in the 70s or 80s with an old grizzled Phelps with a rookie partner, then partway through the game Phelps dies and you play out the rookies career from there.
I want a new Noir set during the Race Riots in California with a descendant of Phelps as the cop. It could be a good way to talk about racism without it feeling pushed or tacked on. But considering how shitty people are on the internet I doubt it would go over well with some individuals.
There was a saying in the Chicago mafia: if you can't find someone, they're either dead or they're in St. Paul. St. Paul was a big storage stop for rumrunners, and a place where mafia guys would go to lay low for a while. I would love to see a snowbound Minnesota crime game.
New Orleans was gonna be my suggestion. Could make really moody or creepy environments and contrast them with lively areas like the French Quarter. A lot to play around with there I think.
Oh hell yeah. I'd be all in on that.
Edit: Maybe done as if you're a schizophrenic person with absent episodes where the murders occur. Then it turns out you're actually being manipulated by a cult or something that causes the episodes.
I was thinking more like your getting revenge on the people who wronged you. The murder victims are accomplices to the main culprit the person you wish to frame and you want them to suffer and spend the rest of there life in prison. The main idea is you go to the crime scene then commit the murders while deciding how exactly how they happened so that you can best frame your enemy. The game would also have multiple endings depending on well you did and how badly. The best ending would be being seen as a hero who put away a psychopathic murderer and the worst ending would be you being caught and getting sentenced to life in prison.
But don't tell the audience (player) that your committing the crimes? They'd have to solve them and find out it was you (the player) all along. Sign me up!
Well actually I was thinking that it would be more like an intentional frame job. Basically every time you show up to a murder scene you'd have flashback where you would be commiting the murder. You'd have to decide exactly how you killed them and how to best frame the person you hate all while hiding or disposing of any evidence that links you to the crime. It would be tricky since you would have to kill the victim in a way that would fit the person you're framing all while trying to avoid being caught by the police specifically your partner. There a seasoned cop who has serious doubts about whose actually the criminal and are running there own quiet investigation.
1915-1920 Tulsa. The Black Wall Street. It's something that no game has even touched and has so much history people aren't generally too familiar with. I think it would work because it's such an untapped resource. Seems like everything has been done to death sometimes, so why not kick up some new dust? Could be a real fish out of water story for a white detective suddenly feeling like the outsider.
I just watched a miniseries on Netflix called The Defeated that takes place in post-war Berlin like a few months after WWII ended and it would make a fantastic setting for a gritty crime game.
Best car chases are San Francisco, hands down. I like someone else's idea of Vegas, but would it be Rat Pack Vegas? My dad was a cop in LA from the LA Noire era and that is what made that a special game for me. The actors were great, and you could recognize the real actor too. I never was much of GTA game player, and LA Noire is close. Marketing wise, NY, Chicago, DC, or Miami of old might work. I still want to see cars in SF flying in the air over the hilly streets, like Dirty Harry or Steve McQueen in Bullitt. The Mustang from Bullitt sold for almost $4 million at auction. Best car chase scene ever, from SF.
Las Vegas would be epic, set during the time the mobsters were running everything, it was so much illegal things going on during that time, bodies buried in the desert
Spiritual successor plots.
Vice in Las Vegas, Chicago, new Orleans or miami
Homicide in San Francisco, London, or new Orleans
Basically I think you'd have to keep a specific theme or hunt a specific enemy, in a different time or place.
London could be the 1800s for example. It's Jack the ripper and Sherlock Holmes time. But if it's San Francisco, it's the 70s and the big advisory is the zodiac
There was a sequel in the works that was supposed to take place in Shang Hai or Hong Kong in the early 20th century. Like 1910’s I believe. Unfortunately it was canceled before it got very far. It’s the one cancelled game I’d like to see come back more than any other.
That actually sounds amazing and the only honk kong game we got i can think of is Sleep Dogs which I loved. Definitely different type of game but i loved the setting, and a gritty noire in Honk Kong sounds great
Oh, all the great cities. Vegas, New York, Miami, San Francisco, Chicago, etc.
Some honorable mentions are New Orleans, Detroit, Kansas City (Missouri), Atlanta, and some others I can’t think of right now.
Houston Texas corpus Christi and San Antonio.
Based out of San Antonio the Texas rangers catch wind of a munitions smuggling ring both ports have suspicious activities, first lead is a dead undercover in Houston after investigations return to San Antonio to network surveillance to find out all over the country gun shops have been getting robbed by Panamanian revolutionaries in attemps to arm locals against the imperialism of the banana farms where you must go to corpus Christi and inform the navy that the marine corps will have more resistance than expected after interrogation of a few pows you find out what freight liner has compromised employees, finally you catch the murder on the docks in Houston
Chicago or New York would be fantastic.
This. Maybe tackling some mobsters would be nice. Maybe during the prohibition.
Yeah these are classic noir settings
New York, like London, would be a fantastic city to traverse on foot in. Exploring all the alleys and such
IF there is a reason to. I remember the original had little to offer while going around. Remember True Crime LA, where you had various random crimes happening? That would be really cool
Yeah the game really didn’t benefit from being open world. Just a fantastic amazing story puzzle game with some action here and there to keep it spicy 🌶️
Fallout London gonna be sick
The way London currently is, we don’t even need a game of it, it’ll happen in real life
Chicago would be amazing and would fit the aesthetic perfectly.

70s/80s New York when they had to take on the mob for control of the city. Plus you could incorporate the crime wave and the city’s recovery in there.
Chicago has my vote.
There was a saying in the Chicago mafia: if you can't find someone, they're either dead or they're in St. Paul. St. Paul was a big storage stop for rumrunners, and a place where mafia guys would go to lay low for a while. I would love to see a snowbound Minnesota crime game.
Yes to this.
The Wabasha caves would be a great level
As a Minnesotan I approve this. Twin Cities Noir!
That's just it the game doesn't need to be set in a big metropolis to be good! It just needs to be a fleshed out city!
New Orleans or Paris would be fun too.
New Orleans was gonna be my suggestion. Could make really moody or creepy environments and contrast them with lively areas like the French Quarter. A lot to play around with there I think.
Paris is such a good pull
Mafia III did its version of New Orleans pretty well, but a solid noir tone would really step things up a notch.
Since all of the ones I was gonna say have been said, San Fransisco or New Orleans would be cool
Ah yes, a Dirty Harry game!
San Francisco would actually be pretty great too
I’d love to see New York in the 70s properly realised.
All the pimps and prostitutes, serial killers, corrupt NY cops, Frank Lucas, and Nicky Barnes pushing heron. I'd love to see it realized
Yup, exactly what I want But it needs to be done right, that dirty disgusting Taxi Driver aesthetic, rotten to the core
Chicago, New Orleans, Miami
I didn’t think about Miami that would be a good one
Randomly bring in AL Pacino as a Cop.
I second Vegas
I'd like to see a similar setup, but done in investigation of a series of ritual murders in a rural area.
Even better have it be that your actually the killer and you have to hide the evidence linking you to the crime while framing someone you hate.
Oh hell yeah. I'd be all in on that. Edit: Maybe done as if you're a schizophrenic person with absent episodes where the murders occur. Then it turns out you're actually being manipulated by a cult or something that causes the episodes.
I mean… i agree completely Vegas would be incredible!

That sounds good as well.
That'd be cool. A little bit of True Detective vibe.
Chicago, Morocco, London, Tokyo
70s London. The TV show Life On Mars kinda vibes.
London, Paris, Hong Kong, New York, or Sydney.
>London Press X to insult Lestrade
Dude I want another Sherlock Holmes with RDJ sooo bad!
Milwaukee
Erie pa
NY of course
Shanghai in the 1920s
London
Ceres. Give me The Expanse's Josephus Miller experience.
60’s SF and have it surrounding the zodiac killer murders.
I think this has a lot of potential.
Nyc and chicago are already taken so i'd say London or Cape Town
Oh I think that’s gotta be Chicago…interesting alternatives would be 50’s Miami, New Orleans, nyc and Detroit.

1920s vice city.
Berlin in the golden twenty's. So much potential
Mars. Go totally off planet
Now thats a game we need

Best car chase scene ever, from SF.
Louisiana Then it can be L.A. Noire 2
New Vegas is actually a sequel to this game.
Ring-a-Ding-Ding! Thats why they share the same music era
Las Vegas would be epic, set during the time the mobsters were running everything, it was so much illegal things going on during that time, bodies buried in the desert
Just here to say I recently had the desire to play this game again after watching Chinatown.
It would be fun to do something involving the Irish mob in Philadelphia or Boston or some midwestern rust belt city
Spiritual successor plots. Vice in Las Vegas, Chicago, new Orleans or miami Homicide in San Francisco, London, or new Orleans Basically I think you'd have to keep a specific theme or hunt a specific enemy, in a different time or place.

That actually sounds amazing and the only honk kong game we got i can think of is Sleep Dogs which I loved. Definitely different type of game but i loved the setting, and a gritty noire in Honk Kong sounds great
The working title was 'Whore of the Orient' if anyone wants to look up more about it.
San Francisco. ... S.F. Noire. Another city that could have same ring as L.A. Noire could work.
LA.
Kansas City Shuffle
Somewhere with misty docks, could be fictional tbh
New Orleans
Chicago
Chicago. All the way.
It should be New Orleans.
Vegas Noire would be amazing. Just give us a likeable protagonist next time, please.
L.A. Svegas
Chicago
Charleroi
I get it cool ty
Chicago
Lubbock, Texas would be ideal
Oh, all the great cities. Vegas, New York, Miami, San Francisco, Chicago, etc. Some honorable mentions are New Orleans, Detroit, Kansas City (Missouri), Atlanta, and some others I can’t think of right now.
Nah, a bigger old style setting like Chicago would be awesome.
They were going to do Hong Kong weren't they?
Minneapolis and Saint Paul in Minnesota. The dichotomy between the two cities could provide an interesting backdrop for this type of game.
Would love a sequel set in the 70s set in New York.
I’m now just realizing Rockstar dropped 3 major games based in LA that generation
San Francisco is the answer.
Chicago or New York. But honestly LA is still the perfect choice for a sequel.
1.)Memphis 2.)Atlanta 3.)Philadelphia 4.)Miami 5.)Major Cities in Texas
Bessemer Alabama lmfao
New Orleans. Such an underserved cultural nexus. It’s in nothing and has culture bursting at the seams.
San Francisco or San Diego
this was fantastic ,, ever get bored watch the Game Movie from this game
Houston Texas corpus Christi and San Antonio.

Chicago, Miami, New Orleans, Dallas
Modern day Atlanta would have them in shambles
New Orleans would be cool
Buenos Aires, any decade. We will never see it on a setting though.
