"This is Max as we've never seen him before, a few years older, more world-weary and cynical than ever." Since the last game, the press release states Max has left New York behind and has "drifted from bad to worse." The press release then goes on to say Max has been double-crossed in this new city and he is searching for the truth and a way out. The game will be set in Sao Paulo, Brazil, where Payne is working in the private security sector for a wealthy local family, set 12 years after the events of the second game.

Potential for win. Thoughts?

Definite potential for win, provided they play this in a 'Man On Fire' sort of way.

Except unlike Denzel's modest body count, and motivation of finding a little White girl - Max Payne 3 will likely have a massive body count, with the motivations being more vague and probably less powerful.

Rockstar, please play Stranglehold, watch Man on Fire.

Umm, anybody remember the other thread when most of this forum went apeshit on the fact that he is bald and huge and that the setting is not grimey enough?



I personally like new Max better hehe.

By the way I'm interested what features will they come up with besides bullet-time. I mean obviously bullet time only isn't enough to sell a game nowdays.

eh, I did a search but I guess i'm retarded, oh well.

Naw, it might have been a general game news thread or something. I just wanted to point out how a lot of people went crazy over the appearance change when more importantly, the real question is what kind of improvements the devs can come up with to keep the game competitive on the market, because quite honestly, if they recline on the name and bullet time, it's going to get bad reviews.

Curve the bullet's path. Oh wait guide the bullet yourself. No no I know one hand locks on one of the enemies and you can aim the other hand yourself.

I'd carry on with this one as the first few pages are just everyone flinging shit around like there's tommorrow.

Which there might not be. Be scared.

[Choked]

I assume you mean "no tomorrow"?

[Sketch]

NO

Does no one remember the 'gargantuan monkey fist' line?

This will probably be a fairly decent TPS, but it certainly doesn't look like it's going to be anything like the Max Payne series.

I had a dream about playing a beta version of this last night. :S.

:laugh:

God the first two were so great, especially as bullet time was new and was done particularly well. Loved the silly dark noirness of them as well.

I hope this ones good but I really can't think of anything new they can do with the shooting that hasn't already been done...

That's why you're a whore and not a game dev.

Hey,hey! I prefer;Man of negotiable affection, kay?

It's just they did bullet time so well with the first two, and they've been out of the loop so long it seems with a MP game it's going to be hard for them to bring something unique. Plus, it's cover based as well?

[Sketch]

Slowmotion euphoria based gunplay? That's enough for me!

[Bombur]

As a big fan of the first two I can't say I'm excited at all. From what I've seen it doesn't look like a Max Payne game. I'll wait for some gameplay videos though.

Oh man this looks awesome. I was a little young to get hooked on the first two games and I'm at the age now where I actually take time to jizz over games when they're released. This looks like a brilliant new edition to the market and the new look of Max makes him look older, and more brutal (+1) and the slow-motion gameplay sounds really something if they can make it work.

Great news after coming back from my holiday
