This is going to be an entirely new standard in shooting shit.

Furthermore, the attention to detail is awesome and refreshing.

[Sethos]

If their SLI support isn't up to snuff, I'll kill myself.

[LabouredSubterfuge]

Wouldn't it be... "speeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...eeeeecs"? How do you even sound out a hundred 'p's?

Kinda like blowing a raspberry I guess :/

[blahblah...blah]

The p's are silent.

[Sethos]

The p's are silent.

secs?

[childplease]

WOW the gore.

A a huge fan of Soldier of Fortune2 I welcome this gore. Tired with how tame video game gore has been.

Bullet entry and Exit wounds on models adds so much immersion to a game.

[KU_]

Just preordered from Amazon. My body is ready.

[Ramocalypse]

Im phenomenally psyched for this game, mainly because it seems like its a nice change of pace from most modern shooters these days, and Rockstar seemed to be heading in a really cool direction with the Red Dead mp.

What does GAF think about the potential community for this game? Any chance it could blow-up like COD? or BF3 maybe?

Like COD? I kinda doubt it.

But if it's addictive like the MP for GTA and RDR, I'm sure a community will exist years down the line.

must have game

It.....it really looks like Max Payne 3.

Holy shit. GOTY confirmed.

No way it catches on like either CoD or BF3. I'm sure it'll have a healthy multiplayer audience for years to come, but those games, along with Halo, are monsters. Joe Gamer seems to gravitate towards FPS's, established multiplayer FPS's in particular. I'm guessing 3rd person games have an added level of "character awareness" that the casual shooter fan isn't interested in handling. Some people just don't like having to deal with the characters and the camera separately while focusing on enemies that are doing the same + cover mechanics.

Same thoughts here too...my god I can't wait for this.

I personally still play both GTA and RDR multiplayer. Are they the most balanced and competitive? No. But they are fun as hell.

In fact, going to be playing some TBGT tonight and RDR this weekend for Triple XP if anyone is interested. "CelticKennedy" on XBL.

[matmanx1]

Looks disgustingly good. Now the only question is: Day 1 for the PS3 or wait a couple of weeks for the PC version?

Same here though I'll admit I mostly stick to RDR's Free Roam...not so good when you jump into these Rockstar events and get your ass handed to you in the competitive game modes.

I'm really looking forward to the MP in Max Payne 3 though. If the shooting is as solid as everyone is saying coupled with the game modes we've heard about along with all the customization options then multi should keep me busy for a heck of a while. So who's in for a GAF Crew?!

Speaking of multiplayer, Digital Trends posted a really good hands-on about multi:
http://www.digitaltrends.com/gaming/...ayer-hands-on/

What you probably haven’t heard so much about is the game’s multiplayer component. Rockstar’s kept the focus largely on the solo campaign, but now we’ve had the chance to spend a couple of hours actually playing the team-based multiplayer against actual, living people. And there’s good news. It works. Really well. I would even go as far as saying that right now Max Payne 3‘s multiplayer feels like Rockstar’s most solid, and full-featured effort so far in the realm on online play.

On the customization side, you’ve got the expected array of firearms and explosives, all bound within the rules of the Maxverse. Or, in other words, you’ve got a slot for a two-handed weapon and a maximum of two slots for your single-handed weapons. These can be dual-wielded just so long as you’re okay with dropping your two-handed firearm. There’s also a grenade slot that you can fill with a frag, a Molotov cocktail, a flashbang, and a number of other thrown weapons. It goes way deeper than that, however. You’ve got attachments to unlock for each weapon and explosives (such as sticky tape for your grenades). There are three body part-specific slots that you can equip “items” in, all of which give your avatar perk-like bonuses. It could be something as simple as a helmet, which cuts down on the headshot damage you take, or a more elaborate tool like an Autoinjector, which helps boost your Adrenaline meter while also defanging one of the game’s Burst abilities when it’s used against.

Much of this content unlocks as you level up, which you’ll do as you earn XP for scoring kills, completing objectives, and looting corpses. Oh yes: you can loot downed enemies mid-match for a small XP boost, plus replenished resources. The multiplayer leveling maxes out at 50, at which point you can choose to become a “Legend,” which is the Payne take on Prestige

EDIT: Oh nice, G4TV has an interview online with James McCaffrey:

Thats really what pushed me off the fence and into day one territory. Its all the little touches that show a level of pride and focus in the end result.

Suited up Max is awesome Max.

Good interview, thanks for posting it.

[RoboPlato]

I love these new suits for Max. Looks so badass. It would be cool if there were unlockable ones and we could choose which ones to use.

[SketchTheArtist]

I think it's the same one we've seen, it looks like he's in a room that's not as lit as the others.

Also, great interview. Love Max's character model! :D

New suit looks baller. New Bestbuy deal seems nice, but that collector's edition has been paid off months ago! Please, make this wait less unbearable!

In this episode of Hit Points see the reasons why we can't wait for the arrival of Max Payne 3.

The shot of Max diving across that pool table around 1:11 is SOOOOOO good. The sound in that scene is amazing.

Agreed.

You guys know what music was playing the background? Think it's from the game?

[Jason's Ultimatum]

The animation transitions is so seamless. So amazing.

[Ciastek3214]

secs?

Exactly.

[Simo]

I have a big favor to ask: If anybody is watching the Lakers Vs Spurs game on ESPN tonight, any chance they could capture the new Max Payne 3 TV commercial and upload it?

[Dragonzord]

A lot of the stuff in this game looks straight up next gen. The animation specifically.

I hope it becomes the norm for shooters with the transitions and animations.

[skinnyrattler]

Fuck, I have no PC to play this on. whatwasithinking.gif

I thought consoles sucked balls compared to PC for this?

IF someone here cant do it, it will be uploaded in mater of hours no matter what.

[delta25]

Being that its using the Rage engine, all three versions are going to end up looking relatively close to one and other with the PC version having the advantage in resolution, AA, AF and a better FPS.

[Simo]

Yeah but that didn't happen for the first TV commercial so I figured I'd ask, should be some new footage too.

Some new screens:

Mostly thinking about 'dat mouse' and the controls. Played a little of MP1 on Xbox but bought it for my PC and loved 1 and 2. I think bullet time is made for a mouse. If they have a demo, I'll check it out for the 360.

[Eppy Thatcher]

I could watch these players change their mind on which way to run alllllll day ... the animations on display here are fucking nutter butters.

I'll have to get it for my PS3 first... but later this year i'm planning a new gaming PC build.. and i may have to double dip on this bad boy. Can't believe they have done such a (seemingly) fantastic job. Not that i doubt Rockstar but ... jesus. This looks like the tits.

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

Its really nice to see Max go back to having some of that smugness he had in the first game after the seriousness of 2.

Whoa, nice. Some brand new clips in there (or at least ones I haven't seen yet).


Simo, I'm not sure if I'll be home for that game, but if I am I'll record the new spot.

Nice. New wallpaper time for my iPhone.

Absolutely love that bottom one. Hope there's at least a level or two that takes place at sundown like that. Looks great.

So good.

In the comments section for that link Rockstar confirms the final PC specs and new PC screenshots will be released on Monday.

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

I wish I knew how to rotate avatars, that'd be cool to have a rotating stock of Max avatars.

Oh well, changed again to Max's smirk face.

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

Anyone record the commercial?

[Simo]

Anyone record the commercial?

Nothing on YouTube yet. :( Heard it's all new footage and music and was EPIC.

[Fjordson]

Was just going to post - I have failed you, GAF. Had to go out with the wife and some friends for dinner earlier than expected and forgot to record the game.

Could have said no on account of the commercial...might not have ended well, though :lol

Supposedly it was a pretty great spot. I wanna see it!
