15 years after its original release, Team Bondi and Rockstar Games' LA Noire continues to have a sizeable following, but - despite Rockstar saying it wouldn't "count out the possibility" of a follow-up back in 2012 - a sequel has never emerged. Even so, new comments from Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick have suggested there's potentially still hope.

I've played about three hours of Hitman studio IO Interactive's 007: First Light, give or take. The most immediate takeaway I have? This is not a Hitman game. I'm not a major Hitman expert, mind, so I can't speak to the really minute things that might subtly carry across, but I've played enough to know the essentials. I always saw Hitman, especially the most recent version, as being about playing in a big, layered sandbox of lethality.
