What do you get when you mix unprecedented facial animations, a storyline based around the life of gangsters (the real, classy ones mind you), and a ferocious arsenal of weapons? Well, L.A. Noire of course! The game, which is being developed by Team Bondi and Rockstar Games, has been on the radar for years now, but it wasn’t until recently that its development cycle seemed to have an end in sight. All of the intense years of development are taking shape, and any screenshots we’ve gotten our hands on have excited us in the best way possible. We learned last week that the game won’t be nearly as short as we previously thought, and this week we get some screenshots to drool at.

We have new L.A. Noire screenshots ready for your viewing pleasure, and they can be studied below:

L.A. Noire is still set to be released on May 17th for North America, and May 20th for the European dwellers, concluding a rough seven-year development cycle.
