This could very well be the case for the L.A. Noire publisher. Such sour news isn’t the first to come out surrounding Team Bondi but it is the latest. Some leaked emails were obtained by Gamesindustry.biz that practically prove that the reported working conditions surrounding L.A. Noire’s development were true. A source for the site stated that Rockstar has made the effort to affirm that they will not be publishing Team Bondi’s next game.

“I’ve heard a lot about Rockstar’s distain for Team Bondi, and it has been made quite clear that they will not publish Team Bondi’s next game.”

So if this is true, it could change things for a possible L.A. Noire sequel or any future games from the studio. Whether you love or hate the crime-fighting title, I’m sure it’s success will have other publisher’s interested in the team.

In May 2011 Rockstar games and Team Bondi released L.A. Noire for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 but PC gamers were left wondering if the game would ever make it to their platform of choice.  Well wonder no longer as Rockstar recently announced that they will be bringing the game to PC this fall with a series of improvements for the platform.

“Developed by Rockstar Leeds and built to run on a wide range of PCs, L.A. Noire’s robust feature customization includes keyboard remapping and gamepad functionality to both optimize and customize performance and user experience. Along with increased fidelity and improved graphical enhancements, the PC version will also feature 3D support for an even greater sense of interaction and immersion within a painstakingly detailed 1940s Los Angeles.”

It’s good to know that Rockstar is finally showing its PC fans some love again.
