Release Dates:
Developed across Rockstar Games Studios Worldwide, Max Payne 3 standard and Special Editions will be available for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation3 on May 15, 2012 in North America and May 18, 2012 in Europe, with the PC version launching on May 29th, 2012 in North America and June 1st, 2012 in Europe.
Info:
For Max Payne, the tragedies that took his loved ones years ago are wounds that refuse to heal. No longer a cop, close to washed up and addicted to pain killers, Max takes a job in São Paulo, Brazil, protecting the family of wealthy real estate mogul Rodrigo Branco, in an effort to finally escape his troubled past. But as events spiral out of his control, Max Payne finds himself alone on the streets of an unfamiliar city, desperately searching for the truth and fighting for a way out.
Featuring cutting edge shooting mechanics for precision gunplay, advanced new Bullet Time® and Shootdodge™ effects, full integration of Natural Motion’s Euphoria Character Behavior system for lifelike movement and a dark and twisted story, Max Payne 3 is a seamless, highly detailed, cinematic experience from Rockstar Games.
In addition to an expansive single-player campaign, Max Payne 3 will also be the first entry in the series to introduce a thorough and engrossing multiplayer experience. In a unique twist, Max Payne 3 multiplayer delivers a compelling experience that dynamically alters maps and mode progression for all players in a match. Along with traditional multiplayer modes, Max Payne 3 will also include a deep reward and leveling system, persistent clans and multiple strategic load-out options.

A few things that sound interesting:
- Destructible cover/environments
- No loading screens
- Bullet time implementation in MP (see video 3)
- Story/scenario based dynamic multiplayer modes
- Multiplayer clans crossing over into other Rockstar games
I'm looking forward to it, I'll confess I haven't played the second game to completion, but the first game is one of my all time favourites. I remember when it first came out on PC the graphics were absolutely jaw dropping, unbelievable at the time. This looks like it's had a lot of care and thought, lots of detail and lots of attention to the little things that make the difference between a mediocre game and a special game. Love the naming of the trophies/achievements as well, a nice nod to the original Max Payne.
