Terrible trailer.

[Majanew]

Nothing special, and the music sucks.

[JumpingTheGun]

I don't think that's strictly true, there are cuts of him lying sweating on the floor, him taking some kind of drug in his drink, and crouching over a sink, among others all suggestive that he is not entirely stable. The way it's cut heavily alludes to the chaotic nature of his story even perhaps his mental state, and we see him with various styles of suits, haircuts and facial hair suggesting that perhaps he undergoes some sort of transformation on his journey. In terms of the music, it is both mellow and trancelike something very atypical of a trailer for a modern action shooter trailer, which is usually loud and brash, and so the game aims to capture a more mature audience. or perhaps I'm reading into it too much

Not at all. I say you totally nailed it.

[Kayhan]

OP is right.

[Lakitu]

It's a brilliant trailer, typical Rockstar really.

[SafeinSound]

As I stated in another thread the music makes the commercial. So good.

[Kayhan]

This trailer is the NeoGAF event of the day.

Thread should be 20+ pages.

I agree. EVERYONE WATCH AND POST

I love Max Payne as much as the next bullet ballet/pulp-noir aficionado... but no, that All-Star Battle Royale discussion thread is delivering and then some. Someone practically made the assertion that Super Smash Bros invented the four primary colours to establish each player in a battle, and that Sony stole the concept for themselves. Sorry, off-topic.

Good trailer, although the song itself is undeniably the highlight.

[JumpingTheGun]

So I've been listening to Health's other music and I'm really diggin it. Their sound is a perfect fit for a game like this. Thinkin about orderin up a couple of their albums. I've been listening to "Tears" for the past two mornings getting ready for work during which I feel like I should be slugging back whiskey in a depressed daze while crushed up painkillers lie on my bar table waiting to be blown.

[Messypandas]

For rockstars typical impeccable advertising that surprisingly sucked.

Oh well, they'll never top the uk gta4 ad anyway

Meh trailer with meh music.

[JumpingTheGun]

[Kayhan]

Your post is meh.

The trailer? Yeah, that rocks.

[Guerrillas in the Mist]

Pretty much, this ad is going to get MP3 a ton of sales.

[mastrbiggy]

Was okay.

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

Quoting for truth.

[bomma_man]

HEALTH were so good live, probably looking forward to the soundtrack more than the game.

[Kayhan]

This game can't come out soon enough. Hoping for swift PC release.

I'm just hoping for a Steam pre-load. Imagine those 35GB when there's a million other users downloading as well? Hello 3kb/s

Well, you got that Telia Stofa 111 mbit (fair use limit) internet, right? Time to find a good Steam server.

[pakkit]

stealth health thread.

i approve.

Well, that doesn't help when most servers tend to get hammered. :(

[polyh3dron]

Between ps3 and 360, if I like both controllers equally and all that, which version should I preorder? I'm leaning towards 360 judging from RDR and GTA4 but LA Noinre's PS3 version was much better. I haven't followed the development of this game at all so I'm out of the loop...

Will the PS3 version take advantage of the BD's capacity in more ways than simply offering the entire game on one disc? Will one version have better audio, or worse textures or frame rate?

[Guerrillas in the Mist]

I'm so happy I pre-ordered a physical copy. How many DVDs will there be?

[abstract alien]

Trailer did absolutely nothing for me, and I'm interested in the game. Just a regular ole trailer with a decent track on it, to be honest.

[samus4ever]

To be honest, I didn't watch the trailer. I just tabbed over and listened to the music. Awesome. I already have MP3 paid in full, so I was already sold but now I want the soundtrack too!

[dark_prinny]

THIS.

[JumpingTheGun]

I'm so happy I pre-ordered a physical copy. How many DVDs will there be?

1 - PS3

2 - XBOX

If the PC version has 35 gig install, I wonder if the PS3 will have a mandatory install and how large THAT will be. Hopefully it wont rival ME2 and Binary Domain for longest installation times.

[Aguirre]

better than average trailer, that's for sure.

If you have the choice and knowing how R* games on PS3 have come up short in certain areas i would go with the 360.

[Mafro]

Just seems like your usual game trailer made better due to a decent song playing over it. See also: that Dead Island one everyone went mental over.

[Stallion Free]

That one at least had kind of slick editing.

[JumpingTheGun]

Yeah and then we all went mental because the game wasn't half as awesome as the trailer. At least we know R* delivers.

Yeah, this one was just amazing. Probably the best TV spot for a videogame

[Fjordson]

This is all in-game, though. That Dead Island trailer was just a slick cutscene that had next to nothing to do with the actual game.

[JumpingTheGun]

Yeah, this one was just amazing. Probably the best TV spot for a videogame

The GTA4 ad was great and I remember when it aired, but didn't hit me on the same level as MP3 =P

[Dany M]

Great trailer, funny they don't mention la noire.

[JumpingTheGun]

Great trailer, funny they don't mention la noire.

It's because R* didn't officially develop it. They just lent a hand to Team Bondi and gave them some direction and advice. MP3 is really their first true release since Red Dead (which makes the wait even all the more payne-ful)

[5amshift]

Yeah on South Park Studios, all of their video ads are the same as the one in the OP. They are pumping this out so hard.

[JumpingTheGun]

Haha, and guess what? First time I saw the trailer on TV was during this weeks South Park!

[JumpingTheGun]

Sorry for doubling but..

Here is a link to an article on HEALTH plus four free downloads off their first album. Now, I'm going to assume they're writing all new material for Max Payne, however the track "Perfect Skin" (about 40 seconds in) sounds like something that should be playing as you're either running down a hall in bullet time mowing guys down, or bursting into a room with a shotty and blowing people away.

Yeah that's what I was thinking, but was wondering if anyone knew if they put more effort into the PS3 version this time around or anything. That's all.

[JumpingTheGun]

Personally I'm going with PS3. Don't really feel like swapping discs and I enjoy long installation times. It gives me a chance to take a dump while reading the instruction manual, which has been one of my favorite pasttimes since I was a kid with a fresh game.

[les papillons sexuels]

trailer was pretty meh. Just your typical game trailer.

The whole "follow the bullet in bullet time" is so cliche, and while i understand that it's a major selling feature of the game there are better ways to do it. Killzone had a much better example of its use.

The editing doesn't have anything noteworthy, feels just like any other game trailer, right down to the fade to black cuts, the gameplay then cutscene formula used in almost every other blockbuster title, the random slowdown's etc.

While the music choice was good, ie it's not some overused pop rock or rap song, I feel that it's not really appropiate to the game, it doesn't set up an really context for the game or the tailer.

and finally I feel they're also relying to heavily on "makers of gta 4 and red dead redemtion" to sell the game. Why not mention its pedigree?

Rockstar knows how to do trailers though, the koyaanisqatsi gta4 trailer was marvelous.

And we all know... Rockstar never shortchanges us with the manual.

[JumpingTheGun]

Rockstar manuals today are what Squaresoft manuals were to me back in the 90s.

[kaskade]

And we all know... Rockstar never shortchanges us with the manual.

I remember first getting Red Dead Redemption and when I was holding it I actually felt like I was holding a game. I don't think they used those eco cases either.

[JumpingTheGun]

I know exactly what you're talking about. Haha.
