Take-Two Boss Gives Hope For LA Noire 2 And Other Sequels https://ift.tt/EKd1RNT At the inaugural iicon event in Las Vegas today, Take-Two boss Strauss Zelnick gave a speech in which he gave some hope--but not much--for sequels to L.A.

Early in the development chain, this unsurprisingly resulted in a lot of chaos, with lead physics engineer Takahiro Takayama relating that he would often hear his team exclaiming "it broke!" or "it went flying!" to which he would say "I know--we'll deal with it later. Just focus on getting the gameplay together and trying it out."
