From the makers of L.A. Noire - Whore of the Orient

[Bruce Malone]

To be honest i think max payne 3 and the past max payne games themselves did a better job of presenting a film noir story.

LA Noire took all the stereotypical elements we associate with film noir without actually presenting a full fledged noir story.

Haven't played Noire yet, been wanting to. This game looks fun though. I'm intrigued.

Sounds like this project is dead, for now.

Whore of the Orient Team Shut Down
Development reportedly halted on L.A. Noire creator Brendan McNamara’s latest.

The team working on L.A. Noire creator Brendan McNamara’s Whore of the Orient at Kennedy Miller Mitchell Interactive has reportedly been shut down, according to sources who have contacted MCV Pacific.

KMM absorbed an unspecified number of former Team Bondi staff members after the L.A. Noire studio was liquidated. Subsequently, KMM co-founder and Mad Max-creator George Miller acquired the rights to McNamara’s Whore of the Orient.

In a November 2011 interview with The Australian Financial Review, Miller explained he was ready to go forward with two games; a game version of Mad Max: Fury Road backed by Warner Bros. (that was initially supposed to be made in Sweden) and Whore of the Orient.

What’s changed is unclear at this stage. On the former, Warner Bros. recently registered several domains relating to a Mad Max game, although a suspicious teaser image out of Swedish Just Cause studio Avalanche has raised doubt around where the game is being developed. On the latter, a source has indicated to us that the publisher lined up for Whore of the Orient had, in fact, been lost some time ago.

As of November 2012 Whore of the Orient was reportedly targeting a 2015 release, with development to ramp up early this year.

More information as it becomes available.

Can't say I'm broken hearted. I never really trusted the guy behind the games. I was always a bit sceptical of Noire when I heard it was the guy behind the Getaway games which were rubbish.

Though Noire turned out to be good (overhyped though), but after hearing about the nonsense that went on with that game and it having taken Rockstar to essentially bail them out to make it hit stores, I was never going to look at a game with that guy attached with any interest.
