L.A. Noire Complete Edition Coming to PS3

[Terminator]

It's the exact same game as the original and uses the same saves so you have nothing to worry about and the same applies to all other complete editions. There is one exception to this rule and that's Star Wars: The Force Unleashed: Ultimate Sith Edition as the USE isn't backwards compatible with the non-USE release

Terminator,

Thank you very much for clearing that up. I've never bought a complete edition before so I wasn't sure how it worked with existing save game data.

Ummm...this is all wrong. I borrowed the vanilla version when the game came out and finally decided to buy the complete edition. Come home and pop it in and all I can do is start a new game or view an empty vehicle showroom. It runs a completely different save file than the original.

I'm pretty f***ing pissed right now. Can't even figure out how to play the DLC cases, which was kinda the reason I sprung for the complete edition.

It's unfortunate you had to find out the hard way. I was hoping the complete edition would work with existing save data. Looks like it doesn't.

So, thats all that's included in the complete edition?.

I already have the game but I won't be picking up the DLC. Also, whats the point of a complete edition when you can get all that's included cheaper from the retail copy of the game and a rockstar pass?.

Looks like I was wrong on this one then and it's another exception like the USE .

It is quite unfortunate considering I can't return an opened game. Granted, I only paid $10 for it, but it's the principal of the matter. Really stupid that a developer/publisher would release a game like that. I don't have time to play through it all again either. I would try selling it to a friend, but most have played it at one point or another and wouldn't want it.

Wish I knew who's bright idea it was to set it up this way so I could do this

I've got the same problem. I thought: Let's do a dlc case, just to do something else, instead of storyline. I installed the complete edition. Couldn't use my old save file apparently because it only said "New Game" and "Extras". I mean, how is this possible? It was INSTALLED, so the dlc must be on the computer. I even have a dlc file on my PS3, but I still can't load them on my regular edition.

Is there nothing you can do about it? Are there maybe cheats, to run through cases very quickly/skip to a next case? I don't care really, I just want that platinum! If anyone knows more about this, I'd be happy to hear wat he/she has to say!

In the meantime, I'll try to get Shamus to the Stars and City of Angels. The best I can do!

oh man. I should have waited.

Apparently the DLC is part of the story. I bought the complete edition as I never played this game yet, and I can't select the DLC seperately. They seem to play out during the storyline instead.
