The folks over at Rockstar Games just sent word of a new gameplay trailer for L.A. Noire. The trailer reveals the player’s ability to go on unassigned cases and how to earn intuition points to rank up. With the game coming out in just under a month you’ve still got time to pre-order it. Several retailers are offering different incentives for pre-ordering, all of which I’ve detailed after the break.

GameStop:

• The Naked City Vice Case: “The Naked City” is a standalone case from L.A. Noire’s Vice Desk. In this case, detective Cole Phelps investigates the supposed suicide of a stunning fashion model. Can you help Cole unravel the truth in a city blighted by drugs, corruption and greed, where the death of a beautiful woman is never as straightforward as it seems?
• Badge Pursuit Challenge: The Badge Pursuit Challenge unlocks 20 hidden police badges around the beautifully captured recreation of 1947 Los Angeles to find and collect. If you can find all 20 of these badges, the dapper Button Man suit will be unlocked which provides extra ammo for all weapons. Each badge also provides five additional XP which will help further unlock Intuition Points – special credits that can be used to give Phelps a key investigative insight when you need it most.  Los Angeles is a massive city, so players will have to search far and wide, covering every corner, parking lot and alleyway in search of the badges.
