LA Noire To Surf Onto Xbox 360??? News
Job posting appears for Team Bondi/Rockstar Games' period thriller; vacancy requires experience with both Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3...
By Jon WilcoxPosted: 07/01/2008
Announced back in September 2006 and currently in development at Sydney's Team Bondi studio, Rockstar Games' stylish looking L.A. Noire had been looking like an exclusive for PlayStation 3, but a recent online job posting suggests that the title may be heading to Xbox 360 too.
Outlining the studio's project of Bogart proportions, the job description goes on to detail the various responsibilities of the Lead Animator, including motion capture, character animation, and animation/cinematic principles in a game production environment - before stating that the role requires experience with both Xbox 360 and PS3 development. Rockstar announced in February 2007 that they had licensed NaturalMotion's physics-driven animation toolset Euphoria for their next-generation title, which assumedly extends to Team Bondai's thriller, so it would seem that both technologies are being used in the game's development.
The posting is the closest thing to confirmation of the title's Xbox 360 credentials to date, though so far, Rockstar Games is yet to comment. Oh, and the job posting is on Gamasutra if you're interested in applying.

Oh I see, but that's what a game company would probably want, because the 360 is a popular console, and they make a game for the 360 eventually, but L.A. Noire is already slated to be a PS3 exclusive, and I doubt that will change. After all, Square-Enix released numerous Playstation exclusives, but they made a few games on the 360.

I just checked the job post and it didn't say anything about having experience with an Xbox360. Are you trying to give us rumors to fill our minds with doubt about PS3 exclusivity?

Is basically own by Sony so Xbox can just dream about it L.A. Noire is PS3 only. Xbox can stop drooling over PS3 games just buy yourself one.

BAH!! Not a chance!! LA noire is PS3 exclusive!! Sure they're probably developing 'certain' games for the 3 sugar ty, but NOT LA Noire. R* have said they have signed a deal with SONY for a new gaming franchise. (I think it's gonna be LA Noire)
