How A Daredevil Photographer Helped Bring L.A. Noire To Life

To recreate modern-day Los Angeles in a video game, all one has to do is load up Google Earth and go to town, so to speak. To recreate the 1940′s Los Angeles of Rockstar’s L.A. Noire, one man had to hang out of a biplane.

E For All Missing The “All”

Pulling into the Los Angeles Convention Center this morning, ready to bask in the wonder of the E For All Expo, I was pleasantly surprised at the ease with which I could park. Walking into the convention centre lobby, pictured above, I was concerned that I’d come on the wrong day. E For All is, by no means, packed. There’s plenty of room to spread out, with exhibitors taking up only a portion of the location’s South Hall, an estimated 20% of the space simply curtained off with expansive booths looking like ghost towns. Most gamers flocked to Nintendo’s and Konami’s booths, with the Rock Band stage sadly tucked away from the crowds.

Around 3 PM, when those who hadn’t pre-registered for the event were permitted to enter, crowds grew by about a third, but there was virtually no waiting to get on most games. More pics of the action after the jump.
