L.A. Noire (Video Game)	comment	L.A. Noire is a video game by Rockstar Games and Team Bondi, released on May 17, 2011 in North America and May 20 in Europe. You play as Cole Phelps, a By-the-Book Cop in 1947 Los Angeles, before the freeways and the Dodgers came over. You start out as a beat cop, slowly working your way up the ranks of the LAPD and investigating crimes that range from the lurid to the disgusting to the truly bizarre.One of L.A. Noire's chief selling points is its use of innovative motion capture technology to digitize the actors' faces and expressions and put them into the game. Rather than serving as a gimmick, this is heavily incorporated into the gameplay; when you talk to people and engage in Perp Sweating, you have to read their facial expressions in order to detect unspoken emotional cues and figure out whether or not they're being honest with you, or if they're lying or hiding something.On November 14, 2017, the game was remastered and released for the Xbox ONE, Playstation 4, and Nintendo Switch, along with a separate version for virtual reality platforms, subtitled The VR Case Files, that comprise a subset of the original game's cases.

Donnelly (a deliberate sendup of Dudley Smith) of the Homicide Desk is Officer O'Hara gone retro. He has a thick (and catchy) Irish accent, calls Phelps "ludd" or "boyo", refers to criminals and the Japanese that Phelps fought against as "heathens", and calls the work at the homicide desk something along the lines of "God's work". Furthermore, he is fond of shouting and drinking on duty. Well, not that no one else is…

L.A. Noire (Video Game) / int_260926c3	comment	Failure Is the Only Option: One of the Street Crime cases requires you to subdue a deranged man running through the streets, and if you fail to catch him, he leaps from a rooftop to his death. Although the Dev Team managed to add an alternate solution, finding it requires you to take action that seems counter intuitive in the momentnote When the suspect runs to the right around a building, instead of following him, run around the other side of the building to head him off, then defeat him in a fistfight; the Golden Path (as detailed by the official strategy guide) is to watch the man plummet. Might be a nod to the fact that not even a Golden Boy superstar cop can fix everything; Cole's bitterly disappointed face as he watches the body being hauled away really sells it.

Marlon Hopgood, the owner of the movie prop shop, has two-way mirrors in a room in back. One lets him look in on and film Casting Couch antics, and the other looks in at the toilet. He even admits selling some of his films to collectors and porn theaters. He's later encountered trying to take pictures up women's skirts.

This gets particularly funny-looking with women, given that they all have similar rolled up hair styles (which are based on real hairstyles, but looser styles were also popular).

Averted with the cars, all of which go by their real life make and model. You can also spy other real products (such as Kellogg's Corn Flakes, Brooks Brothers menswear, and Nunn-Bush shoes) in various places. Also occurs on the radio. American Century Broadcasting uses a modified version of the NBC chimes (with a fourth chime) and Jack Benny's radio show is sponsored by "Bullseye" cigarettes, instead of the real life Lucky Strikes. A box of pistol cartridges is recovered from a vehicle, with the distinctive Remington Arms typeface, but reads "Bennington". The pencil that Cole uses was another real product: Venus Pencils by the American Lead Pencil Company. Although the company was acquired Faber-Castell in 1973.

Even better, they can almost always produce an answer within seconds. This was brought up when GameSpot had a retired LAPD Detective play the game to see if it was accurate - the real R&I obviously had business hours and couldn't be rung up at 2:30 AM, and often took hours or days to get back to you. And this was in the 1980s.

A fact that resulted in many of his men being killed, prompting them to shoot him in the back for his troubles, and that he accidentally fried a cave full of women and children. After Cole's fall from grace when he is caught having an affair with a singer, he starts tackling cases that need to be solved rather than solving cases just to make himself look good and starts to understand that not everything can be resolved from playing by the rules.

Some of these (like looking at dead bodies) use the basic motion with some slight variations (looking at male arms and female arms has you rotate their wrist in different ways). Also used with a lot of character movements, even between different characters. Follow an older character like Biggs or a heavier character like Galloway up the stairs, and you'll see they move the exact same as Cole. Mostly averted when it comes to facial expressions. Though some of them do get recycled (like when Cole tells someone to "Put the gun down, now!").

A specific, and particularly severe, example from the Murder desk, overlapping with Stupidity Is the Only Option: the first person of interest in the first Murder case is a bartender who admits to temping for several different bars around the city, and one of the first POI's in the third Murder case is a full-time bartender working in another bar, who casually mentions that one of their temps was working around the time of the murder and "would probably know more." To prevent the player from instantly making the game about four or five missions shorter, you are given no option to follow up on this rather obvious clue. Subverted a few times when you're made to choose between charging one of two suspects. You can go against what the game tries to force on you, but it seriously affects your case rating and prevents you from getting even four stars.

Typically it's an issue with the game expecting players to understand that they need to purposefully ignore logical fallacies, side-step away incomplete deductive process, and purposefully aim for tropes such as Conviction by Contradiction. All of which can be incredibly non-intuitive, particularly during the early cases. There is also an issue with the game often expecting players to treat circumstantial conjecture as evidence, and even a couple of moments where Cole will use Insane Troll Logic to make a correct answer work within the context of the questioning.

L.A. Noire (Video Game) / int_56515a39	type	Artistic License â€“ History
L.A. Noire (Video Game) / int_56515a39	comment	Artistic License – History: While Team Bondi did a good job conveying LA in the late 1940s, certain elements of history get misplaced: During the case "The White Shoe Murder", the sailor mentions his ship, the USS Indiana, having plans for being scrapped. While the Indiana was decommissioned around the time of the story, it spent over a decade being mothballed while the Navy attempted multiple times to modernize it and other battleships in a post-battleship world. It was not sold for scrap until 1962. The Brenda Allen scandal that brought down the Ad Vice desk of the LAPD, which provides the impetus for Earle's power move, including betraying Phelps, did not break open until 1948. Some conversations bring up replacements for the "police commissioner", referencing William H. Parker by last name, with Earle pointing out he has a "puritannical streak". While Parker would become police chief, and his tenure was known for a conservative law-and-order mentality that became the basis for police forces across America to this day, he didn't become chief until 1950, partly as a consequence of the aforementioned scandal. The Intolerance set, used as a setting in a couple of cases, was shown neglected but relatively intact. The actual set was torn down in 1922.

Cole deduces that Jessica Hamilton was raped the day prior to getting involved in the car crash because ripped panties were found in the the handbag that was in the car. Although this isn't the most illogical leap in the world to make for a detective, mere minutes later when he's questioning the car's driver, June Ballard, Cole whips the underwear out as proof that June is hiding the passenger's rape because June didn't mention the fact that Jessica was raped when she was giving a basic description of Jessica to Cole. To be fair she does make an expression that makes it obvious she's hiding something about the passenger, but it's still an incredibly bizarre leap of logic.

Despite all of the evidence pointing to the victim's husband as the killer, your captain chews you out if you don't charge the pedophile, and it's impossible to get a perfect rating if you charge the husband. Rusty even lampshades it, saying that while the husband is no threat to anyone else, the pedophile is a constant threat to a local high school and they need to get him off the streets. But it doesn't matter either way, since it turns out neither of them were the real killer. Phelps threatens to toss James Belasco in jail and tell everybody he's a child molester if he doesn't tell everything he knows. It's an empty threat to get him to talk, but a remarkably cruel one on Cole's part. During a traffic investigation, prop store owner Marlon Hopgood is found to be running a child pornography racket, but is protected by Roy Earle as being a Vice informant. However Phelps and Earle later pick him up on a public indecency charge.

It turns out the culprit had ties to the Suburban Redevelopment Fund, and further investigations into the morphine heist would have revealed the SRF's plans.

Represents his status as a weapon of the LAPD, particularly Knight Templar Captain Donnelly. "Sunset Strip": Cole changes into this suit when he joins the Vice squad in Hollywood. "Outsider": Cole's suit for the Arson desk. Represents his fall from grace, specifically how all his old colleagues shun him. "Sharpshooter": Exactly What It Says on the Tin; increases accuracy with certain weapons. "Chicago Lightning": increaces accuracy with certain weapons including the Thompson (Tommy gun), which is stereotypically associated with the Chicago mobs. Also toyed with in regards to the "Button Man" (which gives increased ammo). The name is ostensibly a reference to mob hitmen, although you never play as a hitman.

L.A. Noire (Video Game) / int_6eb4e408	comment	Artistic License – Military: Marines don't call each other "soldier." Ever. The 6th Marine Regiment never fought in Okinawa. It spent the campaign as a reserve unit. Also, several Marines from Kelso's unit refer to fighting in Peleliu, another battle the 6th Marines weren't in. In reality, both battles were fought by the 1st Marine Division. Able Seaman is a rank in pretty much every navy in the world, including Australia, but not the U.S. Furthermore, said Able Seaman was assigned to the battleship USS Indiana and reported that she was being scrapped. The Indiana was decommissioned in 1947, but was kept in reserve and not actually scrapped until 1963 Courtney Sheldon is repeatedly called a medic — the Marines don't have medics. He would be called a corpsman and would actually have been a member of the US Navy. Though they're actually sailors, "Green Side" corpsmen attached to Marine units are generally considered honorary Marines. During the case "Manifest Destiny" Phelps discovers three Browning Automatic Rifles at a nightclub. He mentions tracing the serial numbers, but in his notebook, it's recorded as 'serial M1918A5', which is the model number, not the serial number. Further, there was never an A5 model of the M1918 BAR. US military variants ended at the M1918A2.

He's also abrasive and distant with his co-workers, who see him as a selfish Glory Hound (and they're not entirely wrong). What keeps Cole relatable and sympathetic is that he himself recognizes his flaws and past mistakes, is deeply haunted by them and determined to atone; sadly, he only continues the pattern of making bad choices which end up hurting innocent people.

In "The Naked City", after Henry Arnett is arrested for conspiring in burglary, it's never shown what happens to his girlfriend, Heather, nor is there any mention of her. And that poor assistant to Stoneman... The only SRF members not attending Cole's funeral are the D.A. and the editor of Los Angeles Times. Either they're going to jail like Monroe and Benson or they walk away free from the scandal. Your pick.

Oh, and all of this was being partially funded by stolen army-surplus morphine.

They might have been on the receiving end of the crimes you investigate, but you aren't likely to feel sorry for them Everett Gage was a Mean Boss and an anti-Semite. He tried at every opportunity to screw over Edgar Kalou's business, and received 5 rounds to his back for his troubles Juan Francisco Valdez was the Consul of the Argentine Embassy. His diplomatic vehicle gets stolen, with the Two tires and other items stripped from it. Whatever sympathy points he might have had is quickly washed away not just by his smug attitude, but by the fact that he "Fucks young boys" in the words of Phelps Downplayed with several of the murdered women in the homicide desk. Celine Henry, in particular, might have been gruesomely murdered, while she was begging for mercy, but she was known for being very physically abusive toward her husband. Said Husband gets no sympathy, not even from the normally progressive attitudeed Cole Phelps. Eli Rooney: A local child molester. He has been in jail before, but not for murdering anyone. You can make him the scapegoat of a murder you investigate, and he gets punched for his troubles, but you would wish he would stay in jail permanently. Charging him with the murder is actually required to five-star the case. Grovsner McCaffery: A (possible self styled) labor rights activist and novelist... who quickly proves himself to be nothing more than a phony, including lying about a military record, which couldn't have been performed anyways, because he is proud of the fact that he beat a woman to near death, just because she stole from her. It's not a stretch to imagine Evelynn Summers could have shared a similar fate from him.

Of course, in the case of Grosvenor McCaffrey, he is a pretty slimy individual, who seems to have picked communism as a contrarian cause so that he can act smarter than everyone else.

Averted, though, with child characters appearing in cases. For example: 15-year-old Jessica Hamilton, the rape and attempted murder victim in "The Fallen Idol". You also see Theresa and Lars Taraldsen's daughters, Lena and Hannah, in "The White Shoe Slaying". In "A Polite Invitation" a naked 12-year-old girl is found in Benson's apartment. And during the Arson cases a couple of families were burned inside their houses. This includes their children, with graphically detailed charred bodies. During the second-to-last war flashback. There were kids in that cave... Cole has two daughters, and you can see them sitting in the front row with Mrs. Phelps at his funeral. In a variation, dog houses are seen throughout the neighborhoods but there are no dogs in the game.

L.A. Noire (Video Game) / int_9d12bbc1	type	Foreshadowing
L.A. Noire (Video Game) / int_9d12bbc1	comment	Foreshadowing: The newspapers, most prominently. Each newspaper scene provides some manner of supplementary scene to a part of the plot and are all over the place chronologically, with many of them taking place in the future, explaining and detailing events that Phelps won't get background information on for some time. As a result, if the player has collected enough newspapers - and it doesn't take many - they can piece together the Suburban Redevelopment Fund conspiracy long before Phelps even suspects there is foul play going on, as well as figure out easily that they are going after red herrings at several points. When Kelso finds a flamethrower, pictures of his old unit, and maps of the Los Angeles tunnel system when tracking down the serial arsonist. At the beginning of Ackerman's interrogation in the fourth homicide case, Cole states that Ackerman got his scars from a flamethrower during the war. He also mentioned that the big guys were given flamethrower duty during the war. Throughout the newspaper cutscenes we see the story of a rather large veteran that turns out to be the serial arsonist. Guess what he did during the war. Cole asks the watch commander about the marked map in the Traffic office, and learns about the freeway project that's still in the planning stages. The freeway construction is how Monroe and the other members of The Conspiracy plan to get rich. After Jean Archer fails at being a Femme Fatale (heck, the Achievement/Trophy is "Femme Imbecile"), Bekowsky remarks that Phelps is blind for not falling for her, and asks him if he has a type. After telling him that he married his type, he does like blondes. He ends up wrecking his marriage falling for a Blonde Bombshell. During the second Arson case, Biggs says that they're not going to arrest the suspect, but "kill this miserable fuck." The suspect is Hogeboom, he is miserable, and Kelso puts a bullet in his head. At a few points in the Arson desk, when clues related to the unknown arsonist are found, the musical sting that plays is the same one that accompanies Cole's army flashbacks. Inverted by the cutscene that plays after the closing credits, which sets up the fates of all of Phelps' Marine comrades.

Also applies to the vehicles, which unlike their GTA counterparts can't actually be blown up (though they can still lose their engines and, in a change, entire tires), and are generally tougher to disable. Justified because to make a car safe at the time, you'd need to build it like a tank. The pedestrians of L.A. are near invulnerable. You can hit them dead center with a Super Nash going 120mph, sending them flying into the air over the car and onto the asphalt, and they will still get right back up. You actually have to park the car on top of a downed pedestrian to kill him/her.

L.A.

The game pays heavy homage to Chinatown and The Two Jakes, and even uses a Suspiciously Similar Song version of Chinatown's score during the incidental music. L.A. Confidential is also referenced. Heck, it goes BEYOND homage, and basically turns into Chinatown: The Video Game. Upon playing as Kelso, the offices of California Fire and Life bear some resemblance to the offices of Pacific All Risk. Some parallels can also be drawn with Who Framed Roger Rabbit, specifically a real-estate scam related to freeway construction. Roger Rabbit's plot was based on the proposed script for the second Chinatown sequel, which would have been called Cloverleaf. An apologetic serial killer with an origami fascination? Sounds a lot like Heavy Rain. A whole mess of homages to James Ellroy. One of the apartment buildings lists an N. Wolfe as one of its tenants.

Also, it's implied that the Chief of Police manages to escape justice after making a deal with the Assistant D.A. Mickey Cohen also gets off scot free for assassinating most of the Marines involved in the morphine theft, but he's got real-life history on his side. The Mayor is implied to have escaped justice with the Chief. There can potentially be a good number of them if you manage to let a few perpetrators go free. The game deals with a Real Life Karma Houdini, the Black Dahlia murderer. Didn't get away with it in the game. He was killed by Cole, but his identity wasn't released because his half-brother was an influential politician. June Ballard never seems to get hers for her role in getting her 15-year-old niece raped. Semi-Averted with Juan Francisco Valdez. You find out about his crimes in the process of investigating his stolen car, but due to diplomatic immunity you can't bring him to justice for them. If you play your cards right however, his Pedophilic/Ephebophilic habits will become public, likely torpedoing his public image and ruining him.

L.A. Noire (Video Game) / int_aabe2fb	comment	Deliberate Values Dissonance: The racism and sexism of the post-war era are highlighted. Political oppression is seen throughout, namely of communists and anarchists. Both "The Studio Secretary Murder" and "The Gas Man" have two suspects with such stances (Grosvenor McCaffrey and Matthew Ryan, respectively), who must be charged to get the highest ranking in their cases as they have the most evidence against them. If they aren't charged, the captain will chew out Phelps for allowing "reds" to walk free. In "Buyer Beware", Cole also refers to Edgar Kalou as a "left-wing leaning parasite". When Cole finds Valdez's notebook with a list of, ostensibly, men's names with notes about their attractive features, he refers to him as a "degenerate" for appearing to be a homosexual. Cole ends up being right though when it turns out that these were not the names of men...but underage boys, making Valdez a child predator instead of a gay person. While Cole's affair with Elsa would still be a minor scandal in today's society, it wouldn't get him anywhere near the backlash or notoriety among his fellow officers and the odd bystander that it does in the game. The fact that Elsa is German plays a part in the scandal, as Captain Donnelly accuses Phelps of "sleeping with the enemy". This is despite Elsa having fled the Nazis. Cole Phelps' perceived incompetence as an officer is in large part because of the attitudes of the time. Phelps's understanding of Japanese war aims is understandable to us, but incomprehensible to his soldiers. Further, Phelps is considered a Bad Luck Charm; there is really nothing an officer can do about such a label. Finally, on Sugar Loaf, most officers would be shell-shocked by seeing their company destroyed before their very eyes; while not medal-worthy, Phelps' going into shock is completely understandable. Jack Kelso's reaction, and Phelps' own guilt over his "cowardice," is more a product of the times they lived in, when combat fatigue and PTSD were not well understood.

L.A. Noire (Video Game) / int_b0855ef3	comment	No Historical Figures Were Harmed: Some of the murder victims in the Homicide cases are thinly-veiled fictional versions of real-life murder victims in 1947 Los Angeles. Celine Henry, the victim of the Red Lipstick Murder, is based off Jeanne French (as admitted by Rockstar). They were in their 40s when they were killed, and beforehand they were aviators with rocky relationship histories, which lead them to alcoholism. They were both brutally beaten to death and had "Tex" and a rude message scrawled over their nude corpses with lipstick. Even their maiden surnames, Axford, are identical. Antonia Maldonado, the victim of the Silk Stocking Murder, is based off of the real-life murder victim Rosenda Mondragon. Both were 21-year-old alcoholic Hispanic women who were murdered in 1947 while divorcing their combative husbands in the Los Angeles area. Their corpses were also dumped nude with a stocking prominently connected to their murders. Theresa Taraldsen, the victim of the White Shoe Slaying, is based off of Laura Trelstad. Both were 37-year-old wives and mothers in families of Nordic origin who were murdered in 1947, and their corpses were found with only one white shoe left on them.

To be fair she does make an expression that makes it obvious she's hiding something about the passenger, but it's still an incredibly bizarre leap of logic.

As you travel around the city, you may occasionally hear a bystander state that "If women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy." The man who kills Dr. Fontaine is described as a "Boris Karloff type". When examining the doctor's body, Cole muses that he has heard the story about a doctor been killed by his own creation before. The final mission is also a clear Shout-Out to The Third Man, which also ends with a chase through sewer tunnels, resulting in the death of one of the main characters. The first Traffic case eventually takes you to an apartment set right next to a store named "Geiger's Used Books", ripped straight from The Big Sleep. A few cases are named after famous noir films, such as The Black Caesar and The Naked City. Additionally, a DLC case is named after the (in)famous 1930s anti-drug film, Reefer Madness. In the Vice case "The Set Up," you enter a hotel to find that your suspect, along with may other guests, have signed in under fake names. Among the people supposedly staying there are Shirley Temple, Orson Welles, and Winston Churchill The offices of California Fire and Life look almost exactly like the offices of Walter Neff's insurance company in Double Indemnity. One file you check into late in the game includes information on Suckerhud Industries, whose board also includes guys named Norville Barnes and Sidney J. Mussburger. At the beginning of the Homicide case "The Silk Stocking Murder," John Marston's hat can be found in one of the garbage cans near the crime scene. A report written by Roy Earle mentions a man named Reginald Barclay. The case "The Set Up" features an aging boxer who's paid by a mob boss to lose, and instead bets the money on himself, wins the fight and skips town with his winnings. Captain James Donnelly is based broadly on Dudley Smith of the LA Quartet by James Ellroy (and more widely seen in the Oscar-winning movie adaptation of L.A. Confidential). More generally speaking, LA Noire feels like the closest thing to a videogame adaptation of an Ellroy novel as we'll ever get. Ramez Removals warehouse in "The Black Caesar" has a poster for a production of R.U.R.. Most of Cole's suits are references to other pieces of noir fiction and historical people and slang: The Hawkshaw suit named after the comic strip Hawkshaw the Detective. The Sharpshooter suit is based on the suit Jack Nicholson's character Jake Gittes wears in the movie Chinatown. The Broderick is likely based on a few references: 1923-1947 New York detective Johnny Broderick; actor Broderick Crawford, who played Captain Dan Mathews in Highway Patrol; and as an early 20th century slang term for giving someone a beating, which is apt because of it's effect while worn. The Button Man suit is named after Italian mob slang for a hitman. The Chicago Lightning suit is named after old slang used for gunfire. The Hard-Boiled Detective suit has a brilliant yellow fedora the same color as Dick Tracy's. The Murphy suit and acquisition method is most likely named for late military veteran Audie Murphy. The Untouchable suit is likely named after Elliot Ness's team the Untouchables.

The car you receive during the Vice Bureau arc isn't a standard police car but Roy Earle's own car, and some of the lines he says if you hit things reflect it. If you drive another car with him as a passenger and bump into things, some of his lines will express relief that you aren't wrecking his car.

L.A.

Cole calls out Roy for pocketing a thick roll of cash at a crime scene, but ultimately lets it slide when no other cops seem to give a rat's ass. Roy then justifies this is recompensing him for his $20 out of pocket. Cole estimated there was about a grand in the roll. In 2017 money, that's about $9,800 for his trouble. How everyone reacts after Cole's affair with Elsa is revealed to the press. Elsa to Cole about not asking for Kelso's help but instead conning him into helping them without giving him the opportunity to back out, relying on Kelso's nature to do the right thing. Captain Donnelly will also voice his displeasure should you charge Moller instead of Rooney at the end of The Golden Butterfly. Likewise if you charge Tiernan instead of McCaffery at the end of The Studio Secretary Murder.

It gets annoying when his superiors chastise him for it even though most of them deal in murder, drugs, and much shadier affairs. Even his own comrades in the war have the balls to call him out for his mistake with the cave hospital despite going on to cause much of the conspiracies that Cole has to solve later in the game. Roy Earle is a philanderer, drug abuser, racist, misogynist, and just a royal prick, and he still gets to be the star detective of the vice squad.

L.A. Noire (Video Game) / int_d68c925d	comment	Creator Provincialism: Team Bondi was based in Australia, and while they do a very good job of recreating 1947 Los Angeles, there are a few clues. The rank of Able Seaman shows up at least once, a rank that has never been used in the United States Navy. An invoice for concrete at a construction site measures it in tonnes. One clue is a "Lady Elgin" wrist watch. Phelps pronounces "Elgin" with a hard G, like the city in Scotland. The watch was made the National Watch Company of Elgin, Illinois, which is pronounced with a soft G. Characters generically refer to the LA City Fire Department as "the fire brigade," as is common in Australia and the UK, when "the fire department" is what Americans (and Canadians, incidentally) would actually call it. A couple characters use common Australian English terms in place of American English ones, such as "lift" or "row," where Americans would say "elevator" and "fight," respectively. Finally, mailing addresses are written in the Australian style, where apartment numbers are immediately placed before street numbers with a slash (e.g. 7/146 Ivar Avenue), as opposed to a separate line in the address. The Naked City, a DLC case, had a higher-than-usual number of Australianisms. That includes the aforementioned lift bit, the building Dr. Stoneman was locating containing "barristers" (the American term is "lawyers"), and Earle calling Phelps a "boonaroo" case man.

Captain James Donnelly is Captain Dudley Smith: both of them are Irish Homicide Dicks who believe in administering "rough justice" to perps, although Donnelly doesn't turn out to be the Big Bad, unlike his film companion. Jack Vincennes and Roy Earle are both examples of a Corrupt Cop who deals with the Hollywood scene, although Earle is a plain Jerkass and Vincennes is a rare sympathetic dirty Cop.

L.A. Noire (Video Game) / int_e5fd8bc2	comment	Hate Sink: Roy Earle, Cole's partner in the Vice Desk, embodies the worst traits of the LAPD; he is a Dirty Cop who abuses his position as Vice Detective to further benefit him, such as stealing money meant to be evidence and taking bribes from criminals. He's also a racist and a misogynist, as well as an unpleasant Jerkass towards people in general. Even his superiors in the LAPD can't stand him, and frequently chew him out whenever he acts like his usual douchey self. Players are definitely bound to hate him even more when he outs Cole's affair with Elsa to the public which leads to Cole's disgrace and demotion, and even more so when he suffers no repurcussions. And to drive the final nail into the coffin, he is the one to deliver the eulogy at Cole's funeral under the pretense of being Cole's trusted friend despite selling him out. Grosvenor McCaffrey is a person of interest in Cole Phelp's investigation of the murder of Evelyn Summers. Dishonorably discharged from the army for beating a woman to near-death, MacCaffrey became a writer and social activist championing for "the little guy". However, his supposed altruism merely serves to inflate his own ego, openly expressing disdain for the people who he supposedly fought for. When the Evelyn's boyfriend Tiernan came to him in a drunken stupor, MacCaffrey tricks him into thinking he murdered her. Promising to help Tiernan cover it up, MacCaffrey instead rats him out to the police to save his own skin. When goaded by Phelps into an angry tirade when questioned about his dishonorable discharge, MacCaffrey blames the woman he assaulted for ruining his chance at becoming a war hero, as well as ranting that Evelyn deserved to die for taking his book. Though it's later revealed that MacCaffrey was among the many people framed by the Werewolf Killer, his smugness and a general disdain for everyone around him hardly makes him sympathetic.

L.A. Noire (Video Game) / int_e6e5e3bf	comment	True Crime: All of the criminal cases you investigate are based on real crimes that occurred in 1940s Los Angeles. For example "Nicholson Electroplating" is based off a real explosion at a plant electropolishing aluminum in Los Angeles in 1947, killing 13 people. Additionally, a few cases pit Phelps against associates of notorious real-life L.A. mobsters like Guy McAfee and Mickey Cohen. You even get to interview the latter during a Vice case. The game provides a fictional solution to the real-life unsolved Black Dahlia case: The murderer is Garrett Mason, a bartender you meet in your first Homicide case who works as a temp at all the bars the murder victims attended. Unfortunately, he also happens to be the half-brother of a powerful federal official, so all the previous suspects are quietly released through a series of department tricks, the truth is covered up, and the original case is left open. Still a Bittersweet Ending though, since you know you've put a stop to his murder spree for good by killing him.

Further, Phelps is considered a Bad Luck Charm; there is really nothing an officer can do about such a label. Finally, on Sugar Loaf, most officers would be shell-shocked by seeing their company destroyed before their very eyes; while not medal-worthy, Phelps' going into shock is completely understandable. Jack Kelso's reaction, and Phelps' own guilt over his "cowardice," is more a product of the times they lived in, when combat fatigue and PTSD were not well understood.

L.A. Noire (Video Game) / int_eea06f9a	comment	Artistic License – Cars: All cars have brake lights. Brake lights weren't commercially available until 1952. While not technically a car, the game only shows PCC streetcars from the Los Angeles Railway, aka the Yellow Cars. Absent are the "Red Cars" from the Los Angeles Railway's streetcar rival, Pacific Electric. Those were distinct not just for their red paintjob, but also being arranged in a two-car setup, a rare sight for streetcars at that time.

His future Homicide partner, Rusty Galloway, is present in the first mission with his current partner at the time, Floyd Rose (who retires later, with Cole taking his place). Cole meets a lush outside a bar while investigating a traffic case who claims to recognize him. He reappears during Cole's funeral. The lush notably said they went to school together but Cole seems to not recognize him. Apparently, it was true.

L.A. Noire (Video Game) / int_f42f96fa	comment	Would Hit a Girl: Roy Earle, misogynist and all around scumbag, smacks Elsa Lichtmann for talking back to him (while she's grieving, no less). Jack Kelso, in a more justified moment, punches out Miss Cansino after she shoots him in the arm. Harlan Fontaine strikes Elsa with a glass ball in an attempt to kill her. Generally averted with regards to the suspects Cole encounters. Although he shoots dead many male suspects, he never lays a hand on any female suspects. A potential exception is in one of the optional street crime missions in which the option exists for Cole to shoot and kill a fleeing female burglar, but the case is failed if this happens.

Especially in some of the largely unchanged sections of town (e.g., Hollywood), it's actually rather alarming how much of the architecture is still standing, and how accurate the in-game models of those buildings are. Although the reproduction of the Chinese Theatre omits the famous celebrity cement imprints (could be rights issues or some other reason).

The first order of business? Getting rid of LA's freeway system. According to this news article, Team Bondi used 180,000 photos to create the map for L.A. Noire. In "Buyer Beware", an FN Browning is found as evidence, with a gunshop owner noting that it's an unusual find because it's extremely rare outside Europe. This is pretty much true, as a version of the FN Browning for the American market didn't come about until 1955.
