New L.A Noire Nicholson Electroplating Screenshots

Plus latest title update details

Written by DaveKinetic on 20 June 11 at 21:09

The Nicholson Electroplating Arson Case for L.A. Noire is hitting the marketplace tomorrow, and today Rockstar has released three new screenshots along with a new character dossier of the plant's owner, Fred Nicholson.

In L.A. Noire, when a devastating explosion at the Nicholson Electroplating plant rocks downtown Los Angeles, causing damage for blocks around and tragic innocent casualties, one of the first persons of interest to be interviewed is the plant’s owner, Fred Nicholson. Will shrewd questioning reveal him to be a shocked and grief-riddled man, beside himself over the death and destruction that emanated from his factory? A cold and calculated businessman only mindful of the impact to his interests? Or someone with more to hide? What can he reveal that may lead to the truth behind this disaster?

Also announced were details of the "Title Update 2.0" that was released on Friday, June 17th. The update fixes a couple of glitches, some of which relate directly to some achievements being unobtainable for some people.

• Implemented a handful of physics changes to prevent floating, falling and traveling outside the map.
• Improved crash handling.
• Fixed an issue where a clean installation interrupted by a Title Update would still show a "game data is corrupt and is being repaired" message.
• Fixed an issue that prevented players from getting beyond Rank 19 in certain instances.
The "Nicholson Electroplating" Arson Case will be available to download for free if you have signed up for the Rockstar Pass. If you still haven't purchased the online pass, you have until midnight tonight to purchase it for the reduced price of 800 MSP, with the price rising to 960 MSP tomorrow. The case can also be purchased for 320 MSP as a standalone piece of DLC.

I wonder if they've fixed instances where you can get stuck between two objects and a low wall after falling down from it... I'm looking at you, awkwardly shaped table. >___>

I wish I could play L.A. Noire more but my old and slowly dying XBox freezes after about 20 mins playing this game. Too much awesomeness for it to handle :(

Everything seems to be 5 or 10 dollars.

Valve did well to make most of their DLCs 7 bucks, which was reasonable for how much content they offered.

And to think...a few short years ago and it was Rockstar being stupid asking for 1600 for both BoGT and LaD on GTA 4.

I'm glad I won't have to wait for a GOTY edition or a DOTW just to think about getting the DLC. It's actually reasonably priced from the start. That being said, I will have to wait until I either get the game or borrow it from a friend lol.

Trying to purchase the pass now, talk about leaving it to the last minute, 30 minutes before midnight lol (don't wanna wait 'till I actually get LA Noire and miss out on saving 160 points) but xbox.com is being gay and not letting me buy points or anything. :'(

You actually have until the Marketplace Updates to download the R* Pass at the discounted price. That's. 10-11am GMT if your in the UK.

They don't update the Marketplace with all the latest DLC/etc at bang on midnight.
I can't begin to tell you how many times I've had to tell this to kids on the xbox.com forums asking questions like 'will the escalation map pack be out at midnight on the marketplace'

TA should amend this.. :D
