'''''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>

<div class="home-card">

</div>
  
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.

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