LA Noire characters revealed by mocap casting call

The casting call is looking for a face similar to actors Gary Cooper or Gregory Peck (pictured above) for the protagonist -- Cole Phelps. Co-stars and supporting roles, such as jazz singer Elsa Lichtmann, will only be required to perform for 10 days or less. However, the actor chosen to play Cole Phelps will work for three months, from November to January, to record his performance for the game.
It's evident from the large roster of characters and the use of Hollywood actors that LA Noire is intended to be quite the cinematic game. However, with only three months of mocap, it still pales in comparison to the upcoming Heavy Rain -- which demanded nine months of motion capture work.

OMG this game is sounding more hype as time goes on. I hope it has an authentic old-hollywood noire feel to it. Gregory Peck look-alike is a good step towards that. Lets hope the voice acting isn't crap.

I feel like this game has been all hype.
They've been talking about it for years but nobody's said anything substantial about it.
Same with Agent.
I have a bad feeling these games are going to go the way of gta4: gets all hyped up, a bunch of rave reviews before the release, then the fans will get it and ask "what made you think gamers would want to do that?"
I really liked San Andreas but they've been going down the tubes since then.

ROFL. This game's ruined already. He's the last guy who could pull off Noire.

Let's hear some recordings before you dismiss him. He's only been in 'funny' roles.
I'd also like to see Jennifer Hale, Tricia Helfer, Keith David, and, of course, Sean Connery.

i want a game voiced entirely by Sean Connery. Even the women characters

I've been told I look a lot like Gregory Peck. I've also heard I look like Chief from One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest.
Perhaps I'm just what they are looking for...do I need to be in the SAG?

They'd probably prefer you weren't.

My Xbox Avatar looks like Bono... does that count?

Heck, I've been told I should go into speaking roles many times. Maybe I should sign up.

i prefer if you'd type my friend

I think you misunderstood, Darth. What we said was that you should stop posting on blogs all day, get outside, and start speaking with real people.

Is it still PS3 exclusive? I swear there was mention of it being made multiplat now :/
TONY @ Oct 26th 2009 1:06PM
could be like Tales of Vespria, Sony has already put up a lot of money for this game. so it could be timed exclusive then released on the 360 at a later time

Hell, I'd never even heard of this. It sounds like an interesting game, though. What's the basic gameplay concept - if there is any?

All we really know about this game is what you see right here, haha

This game is the new Duke Nukem Forever.
