Max Payne 3??

[LeroyHarr]

Been looking around on the net trying to find info on Max Payne 3's release date but I can't seem to find a clear answer.

Does anybody have any idea or solid evidence of a release date?

Many thanks.

If it doesn't say there, then clearly not

Still not confirmed.

I think this is the 3rd time they have delayed the release so when it does finally come out it better be phenomenal. Not too keen on wasting £24.

Some decent information is arriving about Max Payne 3, in the wake of some ****ty screenshots being released. EDGE magazine have got a giant old feature about it, and through the power of copying out some bits, we can tell you some snippets about the game below. We’d also recommend you rush out and buy a copy of EDGE, as that will assuage our guilt.

There appears to be some peculiar revisionism where we’re all to pretend that the first two Max Payne games were bristling with emotional honesty and a compelling story. They were, of course, over-blown purple prose and whiskey-laden stereotypes. Nothing wrong with that, but let’s keep our reality-heads on.

Payne is now in São Paulo, Brazilsd, balding, hairy and fat, retired from the police department, and working for the likes of politicians and property moguls. And Edge reports that the game is not playing out in a strictly linear way, flashing back to the years that have passed since we last saw him. A full head of hair, his journey into blobdom is apparently to be told, although not necessarily in order.

Max still increases his health by choking down painkillers, but the comic book frames are gone. Instead it’s what EDGE describe as, “an animated collage of action footage”, although Rockstar maintain that it will still be a comic book approach. And perhaps most interestingly, it’s said that it’s not playing like a corridor shooter. Still linear, but instead focusing on set pieces, emphasising a frantic sense of action.

Bullet time is still in there of course, along with the bullet-cam providing punctuation for fight sequences, and Payne’s ability to dive out of the way of slo-mo bullet tracers. He can carry three weapons at a time, all used in a constant assault that attempts to keep the action going in what they’re hoping will be cinematic action sequences in the place of cutscenes. Let’s hope they’re that, and not just bits where the game keeps flipping taking over and we press a button when prompted.

The other thing to note is that it’s quite obvious the art director of the game, Rob Nelson, has modelled pre-lardo Max on himself. Someone had to say it.

Remember Max Payne? The third-person shooter is a hard game to forget, if not for the cheesy dialogue, then for the epic action sequences and effective use of slow-motion "bullet time." There was a sequel, too, and then a movie adaptation that was, well, pretty awful. Now, the franchise has a shot at redemption with a third chapter, about which Rock, Paper, Shotgun has shared a few details.

The third game is set in Brazil and promises non-linear gameplay rife with flashbacks that bridge the gap between the Max Payne from the first two games and what he's become—fat and balding, apparently. Other details are scarce, but the game will reportedly keep the comic book feel of the original titles. Bullet time is back, as well.

Although the first two Max Payne games were developed by Remedy, the third installment is being handled by Rockstar's Vancouver studio. Rockstar worked on the console ports for the previous two games in the series, so the latest release is at least in hands of folks who should be familiar with the franchise. There doesn't seem to be a release date attached to the game, but like its predecessors, Max Payne 3 is slated to be released for the PC in addition to consoles.

Another game where you play an old fart. MGS4, Max Payne 3 and Splinter Cell (the new one ). I guess in Modern Warfare 5 or 10 you will play Captain Price? Maybe Halo 8 will play as an old fart too

The big problem is that they delay these games for so long, build upon old technology.
When it finally get released it is actually such a let down that nobody buys the game and the devs wonder what happened

Rockstar are making it so it will probably be epic, I love their games.

This brings back memories. Gonna install MP2 tonight for old times sake

 

[LeroyHarr]

Looks like a solid release date for the UK is sometime in July. But knowing that that is probably console only, and then another 6 months until PC. But yeah as Nothxkhbi said... looks like i'm going to be pulling out the old ones for now
