LA Noire, the upcoming Rockstar franchise that’s set to to take the world by storm, is now coming exclusively to the PS3. This comes in a press release filed by parent company Take Two yesterday (the same press release that let out the GTA4 delay).

Take Two describes the games as:

“[a] ground-breaking next generation crime thriller. L.A Noire is an interactive detective story set during the classic late 1940’s noir period in a perfectly recreated Los Angeles before freeways, with a post-war backdrop of corruption, drugs and jazz. L.A. Noire will truly blend cinema and gaming with action, detection and complex storytelling that will draw players into an open-ended challenge to solve a series of gruesome murders.”

Sounds like a winner to me. Something to note, this is NOT the new exclusive franchise that Jack Tretton talked about for the PS3. Sony has confirmed a few times this is the fact. I guess we’ll have to wait and see what that new franchise will be.
