Despite the game selling millions of copies, no sequel was ever made. Noire, a detective game set in s Los Angeles, celebrates its 10th anniversary today, May Noire is a world away from its hugely popular Grand Theft Auto. Noire aims for realism for the most part, rare for a game of its scope and scale, following the dirty, downtrodden path of a detective in the sprawling City of Angels.
Investigator Jack Kelso is the secondary protagonist of L. After the war and his discharge from the Marine Corps, he became a claims investigator for California Fire and Life. Without side-quests, DLC. The main L. Noire story lasts 25 to 30 hours , Rockstar has revealed.

In , working with his partner Ralph Dunn Rodney Scott , Phelps successfully and almost singlehandedly solves a murder case, impressing the captain of the Homicide department, James Donnelly Andrew Connelly , who helps promote him to detective.
Around this time, he begins falling for German lounge singer Elsa Lichtmann Erika Heynatz , and eventually has an extramarital affair with her. Unknown to him, Roy Earle Adam J. Harrington , his partner in Vice and a corrupt cop, uses this information to help several prominent figures in the city cover up a major scandal by making him a distraction for the media, in exchange for a place in a syndicate known as the " Suburban Redevelopment Fund " SRF —an illegitimate development program that claims to supply housing for homecoming WWII veterans.
When his adultery is exposed, Phelps becomes disgraced within the LAPD, hated by Los Angeles at large, is demoted to work in Arson , and his wife kicks him out, leaving him to go live with Elsa. Just prior to this, Phelps discovered that several Marines of his former unit had been selling morphine syrettes stolen from the ship that had taken them home, the S.
Coolridge , which later led to most of them being assassinated by mobsters working for Mickey Cohen Patrick Fischler , who held major control of the drug trade and resented the competition; most of the stolen drugs remained unaccounted for by the time he was demoted, after which he was unable to pursue the case any further.
While investigating a pair of suspicious house fires with his partner in Arson, Herschel Biggs Keith Szarabajka , Phelps notes a connection between them and the housing company Elysian Fields , but is explicitly warned by Earle not to investigate it's founder and CEO, tycoon land developer Leland Monroe John Noble.
Cole doesn't go ask himself, not just due to the legally dubious nature of a police detective outsourcing an unauthorized investigation to an outside party, but also because of their complicated and unsavory personal history from serving together in the war.
Kelso quickly discovers that the development is using unsuitable building materials for the houses, which could potentially indicate an intent to quickly destroy them later. After escaping pursuit from a bevy of Monroe's goons attempting to keep him from the truth, he is given an offer by Assistant District Attorney Leonard Petersen Larry Sullivan to become a D. Investigator, to which he accepts. Kelso and Phelps eventually learn from their investigations that the Fund is merely a front for an entirely different objective: to defraud the US Federal Government.
Run by several local businessmen, dignitaries, as well as Monroe and Chief of Police William Worrell Ryan Cutrona , the syndicate had learned the proposed route for the Whitnall Parkway that was to go through the Wilshire district of the city, and thus bought the land it would run through.
Further investigations reveal that Courtney Sheldon Chad Todhunter , another corpsman of Phelps and Kelso's former unit, had been involved in the theft of the morphine Phelps was investigating while in Vice.
The unsold remainder of the morphine had been given to Sheldon's mentor and pop psychiatrist Harlan Fontaine Peter Blomquist , who sold it on to finance the Fund, and eventually murdered Sheldon with it after he began questioning the syndicate's plans. After learning all he could from investigating outside sources, and not eager to be jumped again, Kelso takes the initiative by rounding up the last few surviving veterans from his unit and mounting a direct attack on Monroe's mansion.
Marvin Campbell , a former flamethrower operator who had also served alongside Phelps, Kelso and Courtney in Okinawa, to help them with their plans. Hogeboom, suffering from PTSD and schizophrenia after inadvertently killing a vast number of civilians on Phelps' orders, had been manipulated by Fontaine into torching the houses of holdouts who refused to sell their property to the SRF, and eventually went insane after being tricked into incinerating a house that had an entire family inside.
It is also during late-game war flashbacks that Phelps' Silver Star is revealed to be illegitimate, since his status as the sole survivor of the Sugar Loaf battle was purely based on luck rather than gallantry in combat; out of terror, he had gone into shock while lying in a foxhole as the rest of the troops were slaughtered around him. Elsa went to see Dr. Fontaine and, after letting how much she knew about the conspiracy slip, he knocked her unconscious, intending to kill her as he had Courtney.
But before he could do anything else, Hogeboom burst in and strangled him to death, kidnapping Elsa afterward in an attempt to keep her safe from any other SRF collaborators.

While GR was at the session we managed to score some sweet information from the reps, and they stated that their game's main story would last anywhere from hours long. Allegedly, there will be various backstory missions that help build up the identity to some of the lesser characters who appear in L.
Noire , and those backstory cases will temporarily put a freeze on the game's main story. On top of these "unassigned cases", there will also be more missions and outfits made available through DLC, which will be available on launch day for those who pre-order the game from select retailers.
