Rockstar Games has just released a new trailer entitled “Orientation” as part of their new gameplay series. The 3-minute trailer offers a detailed examination of the game’s detective, fighting, driving and other gameplay elements that help define this unique title. Using a new technology called motion sense, the game is able to accurately represent facial features of actors portrayed in the game. No matter how many times I see this in play I’m still stunned by the quality and accuracy of this technology.

The game seems to play a lot like a GTA game with the open world environment, radar system and weapon and hand combat. With L.A. Noire you’ll be able to put your detective skills to the work on May 17th on either the Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3. Catch the gameplay trailer after the break.
