Look at those photos taken from the new issue of Game Informer. Go on, do it.

Then cry.

RIP Max Payne.

Why am I crying? Film noir could be interesting in Brazil.

On the other hand, I'm not optimistic about many sequels and don't hold high hopes for this one.

he's not a fatty by far, and well, yes he is bald. This is the third installment what's wrong with a little aging? Besides the guy had a shitty life...that can have its effect on you after a while.

Is Remedy not behind this one then? That alone could be rather ominous :|

You're kidding, right? That looks freakin sweet.

Classic 'boohoo it doesn't look exactly like I think it should' syndrome. I'll reserve judgement on the game for the demo, but until then I'm looking forward to it.

Could be quality :D
Hope they have the same dude voicing it. I wonder how awesome the engine will be as I remember Max Payne was quality when it came out!

replaying max payne 1 now. still a great game.

as for max payne 3, it isn't developed by remedy, it isn't written by sam lake (who incidentally was also the model for max payne 1's character.. you know, the one with the constipated look) and the guy who voiced max payne isn't involved.

now we see it is set in brazil, in daytime, with a sam fisher lookalike. not very noir is it?

i'm sure the gameplay itself is decent, but it just doesn't look or feel like max payne to me... so far.

No kidding. To be honest, I think I would pass on it if it looked like the first two.

Max Payne is all about atmosphere. If they can't recreate that then it's just not Max Payne. That's not to say it won't be a good game, but it's not as Max Payne used to be.

what eraser said
this has nothing to do with boohoo change :(, its about taking a character who's story was already at an end and forcing an extended lifespan by the use of random locales.

So, in conclusion, we'll see when a demo comes out how they've managed to keep/change/interpret the atmosphere, story and gameplay to create a good or otherwise game.

On a lighter note, who would have preferred this: trailer

:smirk:

so maybe it IS john mcclane dealio, like tears from the sun <> die hard 4..

They're just slapping the brand name onto a completely different game. Probably sound business-wise, but not very honest.

George Broussard (original max payne producer)'s reaction

Quote:
While I like R* and they always make good games, the character direction is odd at best. No NY, no nighttime, no trench coat. I wonder if they are also moving away from the noire style writing and storytelling and the graphic novel screens.

While the shots look great, you cannot identify Max Payne from these shots at all.

This is the stuff I expect to see after 5-6 games when a series is in need of a reboot, not two games that sold some 7+ million units. I await the final game, but so far it just looks like someone wanted to do things different for the sake of doing so.

Yeah he was producer on Max Payne 1. Dunno if he was involved with 2.

edit:
According to IMDB he was a tester on Max Payne 2. Odd.

While I agree with him, it is important to remember that George Broussard is also responsible for DNF and as such, should be ignored completely.

Do you think it's better if it looks like everything else these days, has a cover system, is being developed first and foremost for consoles and becomes a shitty PC port later?

And the fuck's he doing in a development country anyway, is he on cocaine or something?

Kinda sucks. Max Payne is an icon that has a certain look. Why fuck with that?
You wouldn't make a spiderman game where he looked totally different, or a hulk game where he's purple instead of green, so wtf?
Also, I recently played through MP2 (2003!) again, and the graphics still hold up.

lol their age verification thing doesnt work too good.. cant get any lower than 2005.

im still saying, this series never needed a part 3. the story was wrapped up nicely in MP2, and the characters all got their closure.
also, no sam lake. f this


[edit]got it to work. the voice actor is trying too hard and this whole routine has already been done by sam fisher.
as a game it'll probably hold up. there's just no reason to use the max payne universe.

Wait, was that a trailer for the next Far Cry?
What's the sudden obsession with southern hemisphere countries in video games these days? Tomb Raider, Modern Warfare 2, Far Cry, Dead Island and now Max Payne...

looks like I stand corrected, the voice actor for MP3 is the same as MP1 and 2. he sounds different tho, mostly in his intonation

Again, where is the Max Payne in that trailer?

Game looks good, but it's lost it's soul and is about as noir as a fucking rainbow.

Ordered this today from "The Hut"
http://www.thehut.com/elysium.search?se ... filiateWin

Comes with a few blu-rays etc and I had a voucher so I had it for £34

It looks wondeful and the soundtrack is shaping up to be epic as well. The Health track used in the latest trailer is quality

Looking forward to this bad boy!!

So you pre-ordered a special bling bling edition of the game that most people think is just going to be a generic 3rd person shooter that won't have much going for it?

For your sake, I hope we're all wrong.
