Rockstar Games' Max Payne 3 is apparently getting Game Informer cover treatment this month, as early issues of the magazine appear to be already in subscriber's hands. So, what's going on with Max Payne these days?

According to early, still rumored details from the mag, Max Payne 3 will move the series to Sao Paulo, Brazil, featuring a paunchier, balder, more heavily bearded Payne. The game is said to take place more than a decade after Max Payne 2, but the middle-aged pot-bellied Payne hasn't lost his penchant for "bullet time" slow-motion action over the years. That mechanic is reportedly still intact.

Another rumored update is that Max Payne 3 will feature some sort of multiplayer component. We'll have to wait until the newest issue of Game Informer arrives at the office to learn more.

Max Payne 3 is slated for release sometime this Winter. Thanks to Patrick for the early details.

Two Sam Fischer games in the same year? What the hell

Chiggs · (06-10-2009, 12:30 AM)

I don't like his design. Looks like some douche bag from Kane and Lynch.

mr stroke · (06-10-2009, 12:30 AM)

why is every developer turning every video game character into grandpa now?

GashPrex · (06-10-2009, 12:30 AM)

looks like he came out of a cops episode

Oh for fuck's sake.

The odd thing here is that Sam Fisher looks a good 10 years younger

Ninja Kn1ght · (06-10-2009, 12:31 AM)

Looks like bullshit to me. May Payne ruined. :(

Did they find ubisoft's discarded hobo fisher art in the trash and decide to appropriate it?

VaLiancY · (06-10-2009, 12:31 AM)

Oh Max. :(

So Rockstar uses UE3 now huh?

I got the magazine in the mail today. Took a glance at the whole thing while taking a shit in the bathroom.

I don't feel like writing up a whole thread about what's in the magazine, but Max Payne 3 looks really good. It uses the RAGE Engine, but I can definitely see enhancements as Max's surroundings are a lot more detailed. I also appreciate some of the things R* is doing with Max Payne, one of the most important of which is respecting a lot of the design decisions Remedy made with the first two games and just trying to evolve from those.

<---- Quitting cold turkey

Y2Kev · (06-10-2009, 12:32 AM)

Next in the "Hobo Fischer" Line of Designs

I have faith that this will be awesome.

ooo, so that was why Rockstar was in Brazil

Guybrush Threepwood · (06-10-2009, 12:33 AM)

Wait, why does it say "Rockstar's Hero" ?

Remedy is making this game, right?

Cat in the Hat · (06-10-2009, 12:34 AM)

I like this Max Payne more that the old one.

vandalvideo · (06-10-2009, 12:34 AM)

Based on his new looks, I wonder if it will be called burger time this time around.

permutated · (06-10-2009, 12:34 AM)

Count me in.

<3 Max Payne series <3

Broadbandito · (06-10-2009, 12:34 AM)

YES. MAXIMUM PAYNE

Struct09 · (06-10-2009, 12:35 AM)

It's interesting how Max has looked much older in each sequel. I wonder how old he'll look in Max Payne 4...

facepalm007 · (06-10-2009, 12:35 AM)

Max Payne... ::shakes head:: That isn't Max Payne, that's John McClane.

Foil · (06-10-2009, 12:35 AM)

Wow, that is one of the worst redesigns I have ever seen.

Not the best idea when people already have little faith in you to begin with.

PsychoJecht · (06-10-2009, 12:35 AM)

Well I am glad that he looks different than every other fit 27 year old who is the main character in a game these days. This man is supposed to be beaten, broken, and addicted to pain killers. I am digging the design a lot.

*Shits in my pants*

OH GOD!!! FINALLY

Kusagari · (06-10-2009, 12:35 AM)

That design fucking sucks.

Grecco · (06-10-2009, 12:35 AM)

Instead of Bald Space Marines we now have Bald Beareded hobos

Terrible look. Prefer what ubisoft did with Sam

EmCeeGramr · (06-10-2009, 12:36 AM)

He looks like a white version of bish's avatar.

I would rather have spaulding.

BorkBork · (06-10-2009, 12:37 AM)

Bigger beer belly please. That would be awesome actually.

Skilotonn · (06-10-2009, 12:37 AM)

Didn't see that coming at all...

And bullet time while he's looking like that? Hmmmm...

Also, I had no idea that Remedy isn't behind it either - now to see what they do with this...

No. Remedy is busy creating that lumberjack killing sim.
