The post-war economic boom and full-fledged glory of Hollywood’s golden era brought a new, revitalized air of glamour and prestige to the world of Los Angeles in 1947. In L.A. Noire, this is exemplified by high-end mansions flanked by luxury vehicles, exclusive restaurants and top class shops… all catering to the idle class.

Detective Cole Phelps will soon learn firsthand though what they say about all that glitters. With power comes ruthlessness, with wealth and privilege come greed, with fame comes desperation – and below that high-gloss sheen lie the darkest of souls.

Featured below are never-before-seen screenshots that showcase a glimpse of the world of Los Angeles’ wealthy, fortunate and elite that you’ll encounter in the game. These shots can also be seen in high definition along with 10 other brand new screens at the High Life of Los Angeles, 1947 feature page on the L.A. Noire website.
