Already gritty L. A. Noire to get far more granular

More On: LA NOIRE

Presumably 4k monitors and systems are becoming more prevalent, at least for console players. What was the critical clue that enlightened me to that fact? Well, how else would you explain Rockstar's pending release of L.A. Noire in glorious 4k video?

Scheduled to be released on November 14, L.A. Noire will be available in ultra-high resolution graphics for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Ninendo Switch.

PC players are not totally left in the shadows: L.A. Noire: The VR Case Files for HTC Vive will present those that didn't buy the Oculus Rift [cough cough - that would be me] will have 7 cases to solve in glorious Virtual Reality. This too will occur on November 14.

There is a trailer available at this link, but I have to say that it reminds me of the early days of HD TV when they were running commercials intended to demonstrate the vastly superior imagery to people watching on SD TVs.

Surely that masks whatever benefit they're trying to show....
