Speaking to Official PlayStation Magazine UK, former Team Bondi studio head and now free agent McNamara discussed his post-LA Noire plans.

"We're actively working on two new things at the moment, but we won't be able to announce the first for another couple of weeks. But I think if you liked LA Noire, you'll like this one better.

"We made The Getaway which did four million, and LA Noire which made five million or so - we can get smarter and better about making games, and hopefully people will still want to play the games we make.

"All you've got to hope when you write or make something is that it resonates with an audience, and luckily the last two times it has, which is good. Three out of three wouldn't be too bad," he added.

Rockstar has announced it will be releasing the 'Complete Edition' of LA Noire for PS3 and Xbox 360 on November 15.

    Oh yes, Brendan McNamara, the man whose team went bankrupt and has been collected up by KMM games who are working on..

    -drumroll-

    Happy Feet 2: The Video Game

    Hopefully his own team's next work is more than whatever KMM choose to publish. Make us proud Brenda.

    I'll take a "C" please Bob. But on a seperate note, would anyone want to work with him now, regardless of what ground-breaking ideas he has? The industry media has made Emperor Palpatine look like a union rep compared to this bloke.

    Why no D option of all of the above.

    He thinks he's telling the truth but in actuality he's lying and we all doubt him.

    On another note i've found his business card.

    I will choose A, on the basis that its unlikely to be any worse of a game than LA Noire.

    Of course if I'm wrong, this test will adjust itself to let me pass anyway so it doesn't really matter which option I picked.
