- Quotes
Cole Phelps: What have you got?
Patrolman James Mitchell: Looks like a drug overdose.
Roy Earle: Get away from him, Phelps. This is my case.
Cole Phelps: Shut your fucking mouth. Since when does a bag man work a case?
Roy Earle: I knew this creep was in on the morphine heist. A victim of his own product.
[Phelps removes his gun and points it at Earle]
Patrolman James Mitchell: Hey, Detective? Can we back it off a notch? This is getting out of hand!
Herschel Biggs: There's a time to talk and a time to shut up. Now is the time to be quiet, son.
Cole Phelps: Courtney Sheldon was a corpsman, Roy. He served his country. He went out with a medical kit and an Army .45 and into places that made the Valley of Death look like a picnic. He was either naïve enough or dumb enough to get involved in the Suburban Development Fund along with the mayor, the DA, Monroe, and a certain crooked cop. He was involved in the morphine heist, but he has a puncture wound in his jugular, which makes this a murder case. He was a better man than you'll ever know. You say one more word about him and I will BLOW YOUR FUCKING HEAD OFF!
Roy Earle: You've finally lost it, partner.
Cole Phelps: I have a pretty good idea why Sheldon is dead, and I know about Monroe. Your vast corrupt future is draining away as we speak.
Roy Earle: I got better things to do than to argue the rub with you.
Cole Phelps: Stay with him until the coroner gets here. Make sure Technical Services bags the evidence. If you let this creep anywhere near it, I'll come looking for you.
Patrolman James Mitchell: Yes, sir.
Herschel Biggs: You know, Phelps - you're not the worst asshole going round.
Cole Phelps: Thanks, Herschel.
- Alternate versionsThere were several changes in the remastered versions for PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch, such as:
- The questioning options were changed to "Good Cop", "Bad Cop" and "Accuse" instead of "Truth", "Doubt" and "Lie" from the original.
- The PS4 and Xbox One versions also got some texture enhancements on the characters, environment and the subtitles. The skyboxes were also changed in several areas. Switch didn't get these changes, being more similar to 360/PS3/PC.
- Being able to change camera modes on foot.
- A photo mode was added.
- A wind sound effect was added to the city ambience.
- Four new suits were added as well as being able to use the Beat Cop uniform. An obstacle course minigame was added at the Army Base as part of unlocking the "The Murphy" suit. A new "Novels" collectible was also added as part of unlocking the "The Hard-Boiled Detective" suit.
- The originally DLC cases were added to the main story and are part of the normal story instead of being add on cases.
