L.A. Noire director wants to sell you a 'Whore'

What do you do for an encore when your last game, adventure/crime romp L.A. Noire, let you examine naked female corpses? How about calling your next game Whore of the Orient? That's what former Team Bondi studio head and Noire director Brendan McNamara is doing at KMM Interactive, the Australian, George Miller-owned game development house he landed at after Team Bondi folded earlier this year.
The name likely refers not to a person but to the city of Shanghai in China, and would be the latest in a recent run of videogames to be set in China's most populous city (see also: Army of Two: The 40th Day and Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days). We'd guess the game is a story-driven action-adventure, perhaps with open-world elements -- essentially following L.A. Noire's blueprint, but we suppose we'll find out soon enough. We'll have more on Whore as it develops.

Not a chance the game will ship with that name. Interesting working title, though.
