'''''L.A. Noire''''' is a 2011 neo noir crime video game developed by Team Bondi and published by Rockstar Games. It was released for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Microsoft Windows. The game draws heavily from both the plot and aesthetic elements of film noir, stylistic films made popular in the 1940s and 1950s that share similar visual styles and themes including crime, sex, and moral ambiguity. The game uses a distinctive colouring-style, but in homage to film noir it includes the option to play the game in black-and-white. Various plot elements reference the major themes of gum-shoe detective and mobster stories such as Key Largo, Chinatown, The Untouchables, The Black Dahlia, and L.A. Confidential.

Borderess fullscreen windowed is the display option of having a game run in a window but appear to be running in fullscreen. Also known as borderless windowed fullscreen, maximized windowed fullscreen, or fake fullscreen. On PCGamepedia we will refer to this feature as <b>'borderless fullscreen windowed'</b>

−
Borderless fullscreen windowed is a feature well supported by certain developers, including Valve whose modern Source engine supports the -noborder -windowed launch option. Similarly, Blizzard have included this option in their games since World of Warcraft, where the feature is known as Fullscreen (Windowed). However, most other game developers have neglected to add this feature into their games. Fortunately, fullscreen windowed can be hacked into almost any game using a combination of Windows utilities.

What is our goal?

The goal of PCGamingWiki is to have a page dedicated to every single PC game, and for that page to contain everything one would need to know in order for the game to be 'up to date' and provide them the best possible experience. This would include 'how to' information such as:
  • Cloud syncing save data
  • Bug workarounds
  • Skip videos and cutscenes
  • Borderless fullscreen windowed
  • Save game locations
  • Mods considered essential
  • Console commands and cfgs
  • Latest patch or fan patch
  • Hardware
  • Common errors
  • Digital/retail differences
  • Graphical issues

Good sample articles of all of the above:

Comments

Borderless fullscreen windowed mode appears just like a fullscreen game, and usually has fewer issues with alt-tabbing and multitasking.

Benefits
  • Less prone to crashing from using alt-tab.
  • Alt-tab and multitasking is seamless and quick.
  • Game is still immersive as window borders are obscured.
  • Run more than one game at once.
  • Run a browser or an FAQ alongside a game.
