L.A. Noire went through a lot of delays before it became publicly available last week. It was originally a PlayStation 3 exclusive when it was announced in 2004, but that all changed as the years went on. One of the primary reasons for L.A. Noire’s extended development time was due to the Motion Scan technology Team Bondi used to convey character facial animations. Should there be a sequel to L.A.
