Ever since Team Bondi got shuttered, Brendan McNamara has been all too willing to share his unique insight on L.A. Noire, the studio's final game. Based on comments made to Eurogamer, he's ready to move on now.
McNamara claims to be writing a new game based on "one of the great untold stories of the twentieth century." This is a pitch he is making on his own -- one he says has a few publishers interested. But as of right now, he can't say much else. "Hopefully I'll have something to announce on that pretty soon," he concluded.
If we were a betting blog, we'd say that great untold story is about the one time we found a $20 bill in the laundry. It won't have a really climactic ending, but the QTE segments are sure to knock your socks off.

If it's an untold story how does he know about it?

I'm thinking Prohibition Era stuff sounds right up his alley

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if it had something to do with the stolen generation. It seems like the go-to thing for untold stories.

It's about time we figured out what John Oates's mustache was doing between 1989 and 2009.

Pretty confident it won't be about some union leader or anyone else who stood up for fair wages and working conditions...

Great untold story.....The story of overworked, underpaid, unapperciated programmer.
DLC will be about the court case where he sues for unpaid overtime

Eurogamer needs to stop giving Brendan a spotlight. People like this need to work their fannies off to repair their well-deserved negative image, they don't deserve free publicity from trusted media sources that are supposed to promote the "industry". Get a blog MacNamara.

I'm torn. The guy is a d-bag but LA Noir was so good.

No one will hire that guy. If he had anything in the works, he wouldn't be using a public forum to attempt to drum up in interest. That's like me phoning all of my friends and saying "Sorry, I can't do anything with you today, I've got some other big plans on the go here" in hopes, that one of them will invite me to do something with them, because we all know, deep down, that I have absolutely nothing to do and no big plans.
I would however, pay $60 to punch McNamara in the face. Maybe if he could get enough people to punch him at $60 a pop, he wouldn't have to make games anymore. I'm sure a million of us would pay that.

In other news, every other developer also refers to their current/next project as "great untold story."
