"a phenomenon."

Sadly, it has no widescreen support at all, that's why I keep my good old trusty 4:3 monitor close by at all times.

Just finished MP 1&2 again ... what can I say? Epic games, I stand by my earlier statement, best story in a shooter, that I have ever played. It was great!

Max Payne 3 has a lot to live up to, it's practically almost impossible to reach this level of greatness in 2011 I fear.

The good old days when games were worth pirating. Sad

Believable and relatable...Yep, sounds like Call of Duty

Fine, back to the reality of today: Max Payne 3 will be a cover shooter! It will suck! There you have it! Are you happy now?

yeah, the first Max Payne was really good, story was long and at that time, graphics were excellent. At the same time, we had also the first Red Faction, so many good games. well...maybe Max Payne 3 will have pinky hair martians included in the story like in Crysis 2 or tons of bad muslim soldiers who live for fighting free America and shooting at you all in the same time. So, you see, that's why cover is necessary in today's games. Very Happy

The story of Max Payne is finished, there is no where for it to go. This is simply a cash in. If there was ever a game that PC gamers should pirate on mass it is this one.

Oh yeah mo Sam Lake mo Max Payne.

Max Payne could work in a open-world setting like GTA made in a noir-style. But this is not the road the game is taking and I'm not even sure why they even uses the Max Payne name. I don't think it will benefit the game, would probably do as well without the name

Apparently full performance capture with Euphoria and awesome settings. I have hope again....


Quote:
Max in Max Payne 3 seems to be an alcoholic. That could explain the hairloss. Hairy Max-scenes are the NY-(flashback?)scenes. It seems they went for a 24 presentation style here...


Quote:
Reading the information from the Edge article, it looks and sounds pretty good! Nicely detailed on Rockstars take as well. Also same voice actor is returning.


Huh..? So they changed their minds and the voice actor will return, and there isn't only the Bald Old Max, but Hairy Young Max as well..

To me it sounds like they reworked some aspects after the fans raged.

For me the regular, dead Mona, ending is canon. It fits the game and Max better.. IMO.

I agree with you completely.

Btw, did you love the Address Unknown TV show from MP 2? Damn, that was an epic show. Small things like that brought so much meat to the game. From a writing point of view, it's simply flawless.

Absolutely!

Have you read this fan-fiction adaptation of the Address Unknown story? http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3316422/1/Address_Unknown

You should! Very Happy

McCaffrey returns as the voice actor AND performance actor, as for the first time he does motion capture for the character Max Payne. Will post scans soon.

Imho you aren't missing much. I beat "Alan Wake" and thought it was pretty meh. Max Payne 1+2 (one of my top franchises of all time) were 100x better in both gameplay and storyline. Most of the praise that "Alan Wake" gets is from console derps who probably haven't even heard of Max Payne.

The art-director's photo right next to a slightly older image of Max made me think it's getting a bit more common to make game characters after one-self or what to call it, there's a similar likeness in the Deus Ex 3 thread I think. Smile
(Just a small observation, "Lord British" did that stuff back during the 80's already though.)

Interesting game info though. Smile

"both the games and the audiences have become more sophisticated. GAmers expect a more fully realised cinematic experience"

Guess what that means, folks!
