Seems there's no escape for the 360 (non-slim model) when it comes to L.A. Noire. It's render-heavy no doubt because of the rich facial animation adding to the GPU load. I won't lie - I've got a Jasper (motherboard) which doesn't break per se, but it does kick up a fuss after a few hours of intense AAA gaming. Particularly if there's a lot of 3D turning about or animation. So I should get a PS3, right?
WRONG! Seems the PS3 is affected as well, this time; even the Slim! <-What Hi-Fi is reporting that a small contingent of users are experiencing freezing and shutdowns as a result of Rockstar's latest detective romp. Quite frankly, I'm not surprised. While the 360-S seems unaffected (big fans on integrated circuits=effective cooling), the generation in total is now going through the GPU equivalent of Rheumatoid Arthritis. My hat's off to the PS3 and the 360, but clearly, gaming is now pushing both of these workhorses to their respective limits. It's time for a change!
