L.A. Noire: The Complete Edition is Official

Richard Walker

If you're still looking to flex your deductive muscles and have yet to pick up a copy of LA Noire, then today's official announcement of LA Noire: The Complete Edition is for you. Featuring all of the DLC cases released thus far, LA Noire: The Complete Edition is a fairly hefty package.

While the launch of The Complete Edition flies in the face of reports stating that there's more LA Noire to come, it could be that with Team Bondi's going bust and the ensuing fallout since the game's release, that The Complete Edition will draw a line under LA Noire for good.

Bundling the game with the 'A Slip of the Tongue' Traffic case, 'The Naked City' Vice case, 'Nicholson Electroplating' Arson case, 'Reefer Madness' Vice case and previously PS3-only 'The Consul's Car' Traffic case, LA: Noire The Complete Edition is really just that, and includes the Badge Pursuit Challenge and all the additional extra weapons and outfits.

So, if the LA Noire: The Complete Edition features 'The Consul's Car' Traffic case, does that mean it'll be available to download as a separate add-on from the Xbox Live Marketplace? We reached out to Rockstar moments ago, who told us that they're currently looking into it. We'll update this post as soon as we hear back from Rockstar.

LA Noire: The Complete Edition is out on November 15th, 2011 in North America and November 18th, 2011 in Europe.

  • Done beat the game and all the dlc. Was very bored with this towards the end. Fixing to trade it in for something new!!
  • i wonder if they'll make the achievments for this version seperate from the original, id play it again just for another 1000+XP
  • might pick this up...sold it a while back because i thought it was boring but now im kicking myself because i want to play it again lol
  • I don't regret getting this day one and buying the R* pass. Its a shame I wont get to play the PS3 exclusive case but I can live with that. I'm still waiting on a complete/goty edition of Fallout New Vegas, Ive played dead money but lucky enough I got that free :)
  • Eh it was an ok game but it was really overrated. You spent the entire game doing the same things over and over again and that gets annoying fast. Also the DLC sucked, I feel cheated just for buying the pass to get them all. I am just happy that I get the next pack of DLC for free (thanks to the pass) then I will sell the game and get what I can for it
  • Typo in the third paragraph, Rich. Can't wait to get this though. I played about 50% of the main game and essentially delayed completing it because I didn't want the experience to end so soon. ~Bryce
  • Fingers crossed they make the extra case downloadablae from XBLA - I've got all the others, so if not I'll miss out. I'm not going to buy the whole game and it's dlc again to get one missing case. Hopefully Rockstar will handle this nicely.
  • Will my la noire rockstarpass enable me to get the new ps3 dlc which in now coming to this bundle
  • It sucks for people who bought this game when it came out and now a year later the "Complete" version comes out. I don't care though. I rented the game and am very glad I did. It was extremely boring and got repetitive.
  • I hope they make 'The Consul's Car' a DLC. I already have everything else.
  • @8 No it won't. @9 Not even a year, 6 months. I'm for Complete Editions 100%. But 6 months seems quite early, even for my taste (which is hard to do). If DLC is on disc, I'll trade my normal copy towards this. If it's a code, I'll pass since I already own digital copies of all the DLC.
  • I was waiting for this, now for the GOTY Fallout: new vegas, is taking long Bethesda.
  • 4 discs?
  • Love Rockstar.. I bought this game without even knowing what it was really and i loved it. Always count on Rockstar for top quality titles.
  • @11 They're probably releasing it so early so its out in time for the holidays They picked kinda of a shitty day to release it though. I really don't think that bundling this with all the DLC is going to make people choose this over Assassins Creed or Halo Aniversary
  • I already have a free DLC weapon or two plus a suit, so what would happen if I installed all the content that comes with the complete edition? Over-written, two of the same....?
  • Oh well so much for me holding out for even more dlc. Looks like it wont arrive :'(
  • Excellent, still haven't picked this up (far too much to play the the moment), so this should save me some money overall, plus will aid the wife in picking my crimbo pressie :)
  • Its also coming out on PC for the first time, hopefully a GFWL title.
  • Well I feel kinda conned. There is an addtional piece of DLC being released and the rockstar pass doesn't include it. Hrm, methinks that's exactly what the pass was billed as being for. Cheeky, thieving bastards!
  • Did "The Consul's Car" have trophy's on the PS3?
  • will pick this up at some point
  • So if this is 'The Complete Edition' .. the edition in the shops must be the incomplete edtion? So they sold us an incomplete game, nice.
  • @21 no.
  • Done and traded in ages ago...i hope there is no add on achivements for this with the new ps3 only case as i have 100% up to now :(
  • i hope its dlc. as i finished it ages ago and gave my copy to the missus for her to complete. so fingers crossed i can just nick it back off her.
  • Maxed out the game & gamerscore long ago and sold the game on ebay, if its priced like the RDR GOTY Edition then i will definetly pick this up.
  • Wow i got a thumbs down for confirming The Consul's Car is achievement less....
  • hope that makes up for it.
  • Proving yet again that with a little patience, the savvy gamer can save some hard-earned money. ~Bryce
  • Don't buy it your getting Ripped off most of the stuff is FREE with the rockstar pass and a way to get around the pass is just go ahead buy it with out buying the game them just go ahead and buy the game used. Screw you developers i'll give you the money for the pass but not the game :P
  • Poor Team Bondi, make this terrific game and a few months afterwards they have to shut down. To me this game kinda lost its momentum during the vice cases, I don't know why but I felt like it was dragging on really bad.
  • I beat the game with all DLC's so won't be getting this, but I sure hope that PS3 only DLC will be available on Marketplace at some point.
  • I really hope that the Consul's Car DLC will be on on Xbox Live soon. I just 100% this game two weeks ago and just 100% the Achievements last week. It was a really great game, I love it.
  • Glad I waited. I really don't know how I did that, I've wanted this game for such a long time.
  • I had to slog through a second playthrough to 1K and one DLC, I'll never pick this game up again, even if it's a separate 1K. it was awesome the first 10 hours, then it was really boring. Just way too repetitive.
  • I was able to pick this up for even cheaper at a Best Buy sale, plus the cost of the pass to purchase all of the DLC cases will still come out cheaper than this complete edition. I was going to hold out for it but I needed something to tie me down until November with all of the other great releases coming out.
  • GTA4, RDR, and now L.A. Noire all have editions with all of the DLC. I'm so glad I waited on all three.
  • I love how nobody enjoys games anymore and just plays for achievements. Fuck that. This game was awesome... it was about as repetitive as every other game on the market.
  • just freaking great!!!! A fourth game I have to pick up on November 15th!!!
  • I would have liked a L.A. Noire: Undead Nightmare lol
  • #11 as they mentioned, its probably because the company is going out of business so they want to try and make as much money as possible...
  • Oh, wow, I got the game during release...and I didn't play much of it...I should've waited...-_-
  • Lol at the release date. Who the hell is gonna have time to play this in November? I'll be too busy with skyrim, arkham city, and mw3. Might pick it up next year tho
  • @2 based on what they did with gta4 and red dead redemption, i'm going with probably not
  • Hmmm. Don't really see the use in it. People who bought the Rockstar Pass, got all the DLC and costumes don't have any use for this. With the pass I only paid 320 points, all the rest was for free. :)
  • Sad, I was hoping we would get one of the desks that got scrapped.
  • This a mad money grab for Bondi as they sell off everything.
  • I was actually just thinking that I need to play LA Noire as I've yet to touch it. Convenient!
  • Sitting on 1400 GS. Would be nice to add an extra 100 to it.
  • I see we are finally getting the "Consuls Car" case that's good news although I'd prefer a dlc than the repackaging. I would club a baby seal to have one more new case :( This game was a great experience that just went by wayyyyyy too quickly. I feel like this game is about 10 hours too short but all in all, a masterpiece.
  • This was why I was holding off on buying the game. Rockstar is great about releasing "complete editions". I did the same with GTA4.
  • #38 It makes me sick to my stomach to agree with you.
  • so no more DLC?
  • Nice. Glad I did not buy early. Now is a good time to get this complete game.
  • Will the dlc be free If I already bought the Rockstar pass? if no, I don't mind buying it
  • So the version I bought should be called "The Incomplete Edition"?
  • Awesome, a new edition of L.A Noire with all the DLC and Skyrim out before that I'm gonna be busy playing both these games for awhile =D
  • I am sure that this is a well made game, but still, it looks pretty boring to me. High scores or not, I will PASS.
  • Will this be out for the PC as well?
  • ohh hope they do release the consol's car case, then it would bo complete...
  • How do people know the Consul's Car is not part of the R* Pass. please tell me what you know!
  • funny this should be announced i bought the rockstar pass a while ago didn't download the content and only recently went back to playing this i fogot how amazing the detail to graphics are. As for the extra download i would be happy with extra content, i did notice that most of the dlc gave u 100 gamerscore for all the achievements in that dlc set..
  • #39 It is sad, I can care less about achievements, I only play games I like. I do try and 100 percent my favorite games. B4 anyone says this is an achievement site, this site does do a good job in gaming news and updates plus the guides on here are usually well writen
  • hope some new cases will be released soon, still, really enjoyed this game.
  • The game hasn't been our for a year... It's actually 10 days until 6 months since release. It's kind of pathetic that I bought the game on release, beat it in a matter of days, then bought the DLC pass with the intention of renting or buying it again. Looks like I should have just waited 6 months and rented it. :p
  • LOL @ all the people pissed off for buying this at release and saying "I should have waited." Are you also mad that other people pick up used games a year later for less than half the cost you paid? You pay full price when it comes out so that you can play it right away and not have to wait. All games are cheaper over time. Like this game, you could already buy the game new for $40 and the Rockstar pass for $12, so this only saves you $2.
  • Are they even done adding DLC for this game? 1400 seems odd for such a big release.
  • @67 - used/preowned copies are going for $20 USD at gamestop without promotions like a power up rewards card or trading in...R* pass included brings it to $32 USD -- the complete edition costing you about $18 USD more. on topic -- sadly I think that rockstar is done with releasing addons for LA Noire due to the fact that Bondi shut down -- they typically release 2-4 addons for a game now -- case in point GTA IV's Lost and the Damned/Ballad of Gay Tony or Red Dead's addons....from what I've played so far, I want MOAR DLC...extremely well done graphics wise.
  • 14 bucks at gamefly the other day. Great game if you can get it for around $20.
  • Got the original game from Gamefly and the Rockstar Pass during sales in the last week of December so I got the game+all DLC for under $20. Totally worth it. No regrets. A shame there will probably never be a sequel. D:
  • I'll get it ASAP! Well, when I got a job...
