LA Noire Delay Confirmed
Take-Two has confirmed that LA Noire, which is being published through its Rockstar label, is delayed until next year.

Detailed in the publisher's recent Q3 results under product highlights, the report mentions that: "The release of L.A. Noire is now expected during the first half of calendar 2011."

Previously slated for autumn this year, the game was rumoured to be delayed back in July, making this confirmation not massively shocking.

In a Q&A session following Take-Two's earnings conference call, chairman Strauss Zelnick said that, "Every time we push the envelope creatively, it takes a while. In this particular instance, I'm not going to disclose all the advancements, they're pretty extraordinary, they are complex and worth waiting for.

"Equally, we do try to pick the right marketing window. That is important. One of the things we're proud of around here is we've extended the marketing window. We've shown the market if you put something fantastic out people will come out for it. That's for pretty much year round."

Despite the delay are you still eager to get your hands on the title when it (hopefully) gets released in 2011? Hit us up in the comments below.
