Max payne 3 :(

Jericho.u.k · 27 Nov 2011 at 16:06

Hi all

I recently saw a video about max payne 3 where all this fancy stuff was revealed and it got me to thinking that i had seen it all somewhere before.

Half of the game from what i could see was from original max paynes (which is not a bad thing)and the rest of it looked like they had just stolen the ideas from the game stranglehold.

Anyone else feeling that rockstar are propbably gonna ruin max payne?

Yes, i hope im wrong right enough, wasnt the first max payne out on pc only first ? i hope they dont ruin it for the pc gamers, also the setting looks a lot like resi evil 5, max payne should have the more gritty new york setting imo

It should finish the story imho - Max Payne 2s ending isn't really a proper ending - I expected the third game to be out pretty soon after it but it wasn't to be.

I partially agree with the comments above but the videos look great and we're well overdue a Max Payne. Will be great to see how the story pans out.

I would think so. The whole bullet time, jumping through the air while shooting 2 pistols etc were all pioneered by John Woo and it was clear to see that the developers of the Max Payne games had taken a lot of inspiration from his work. So to see similarities between a new Max Payn game and another game inspired by John Woo is hardly surprising.

In order to ruin it, it must have been good in the first place.

Max Payne..... nah.

The film could have been absolutely amazing

But alas!

I still play the games...Haha...I'd like a new Max Payne, however it just needs to follow the same formula and it will be good.

Either way ill get it no doubt

First time (pre online games) I bought a game within half hour of finishing the demo

If i remember rightly they were based on that John Woo film: Hard Boiled, Had some epic gunplay scenes and the violence content was sky-high and it got cut to ribbons in the english dub. Still worth a watch

And yes, Max payne 1 & 2 are classics, so good i bought em again on a steam sale not long back, both for less than a £5, cant beat it.

Must have been a late one to the scene...

I just remember the face texture, and it's movements...One of the first ones to do it properly.

It was amazing, that and the bullet-time, first game again no? Or atleast first to showcase it properly. That and along with the explosions, esp the slow-mo ones of the doors being blown off for instance.

Infact the whole game had LOADS going for it

EDIT: And rag doll physics?

Indeed, the original Max Payne was one of my landmarks of PC gaming
