It is a bullet shell flying through the air simulator.

From the other Max Payne threads (props to blutonium):

What I like about a lot of the trailers Rockstar put together is the editing and shot selection. Also how they are able fit music that you would think totally wouldn't work, but turns out great. Here is a good example...http://youtu.be/oFOLPvNmDJw

Yeah, that one was awesome.

I also loved the Ballad of Gay Tony one. It had Luis blowing up boats, hijacking helicopters and trains, the cops chasing him, and juxtaposed that with the cheesy club disco and all the people dancing in unison in Tony's club. Was perfect for that add-on :lol

All those gifs of Max shooting guns looks so great.

Guns didn't move at all in GTA4 and that always bugged me.

Gunplay has been my biggest gripe with all the GTAs. To see Rockstar devoting the time and resources and focus to getting that part right just warms the cockles. Can't wait.

hummmm..... I just noticed that amazon is giving a $10 credit for preordering this. Might be enough to tip the scale for me.

As well as the first DLC pack for free!
Best Buy still has the best deal on this game currently from what I know..

[Ramocalypse]

I really hope they dont have Max cocking the bolt when theres already one in the chamber, such a small detail i know, but so many devs get that wrong :P

[MuseManMike]

Between 7 and 10. On par with max 1 and 2.

Thanks. I think this trailer might have secured a day 1 from me.

Sweet deal. That's another one.

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

I think the game will end up being longer than MP1 and MP2 (Which were like 7 and 6 hours respectively). Closer to ten hours than seven.

[Stallion Free]

Can anyone really say that they like Max Payne more for its story than its gameplay?

Absolutely. The story in Max Payne 1 is pure pulpy goodness.

Just looked up the DLC. What a fucking joke! Higher damage bullets in MP for preordering... seriously? I'll probably just wait for a Steam sale before I buy this game. I just can't trust Rockstar with the PC version of the game until they actually deliver.

GTA was always more of a driving game than a gun play game.

[keltickennedy]

That was bad, too. I am getting the idea that Rockstar makes bad trailers. I don't like their games that much either, so perhaps I am just not the demographic.

Different strokes I guess...

Nahhh, GTA in the 3D era has always been split shooting and driving, and the shooting part has always been pretty bad. The feel, the sound, the look, etc. Euphoria helped in regards to the body physics of GTAIV, but it still felt pretty terrible juggling the GODAWFUL cover system, and "tap to run." The guns still sounded terribad too. The games were always great in spite of the shooting mechanics.

RDR marked the first time I really loved shooting stuff in a Rockstar game. Despite the mechanics still being a little jank, the sound and feel of the weapons was great. Plus the updated Euphoria physics looked even better. Max Payne 3 is a big deal for Rockstar. Hopefully they don't regress with GTAV.

The euphoria reactions in RDR and GTA4 were almost night and day:

Damn, look when the dude falls from the horse, with the foot stuck in the stirrup.

Never been a Max Payne fan but something about this game really hits it home for me. And OMG that song/music, been stuck in my head for the past few days.

Join the club. Ive been blasting it in my car for days. The only track on the CD so it just loops and loops. Crazy, I know.

thought the shotgun in gta 4 was amazing, as were the euphoria hit reactions/ragdolls ... felt so violent.

Managed to get a couple coworkers into HEALTH after letting them hear "Tears" today on the way to lunch. Hot damn I really want to see a tracklisting for the soundtack.

[Amir0x]

Damn dude that was your first time seeing it? Welcome to the hype.

Brief interesting article on HEALTH's involvement with the score.

http://www.list.co.uk/article/41810-...-3-soundtrack/

HEALTH's John Famiglietti explains:

‘We would create a lot of music and then have the stems broken up – different types of music for different types of shootouts and levels of action – and they would have to be able to stack on top of each other so it could loop and play indefinitely. And it has to stay in the correct mood. Plus, there’s super-loud gunfire happening over the music at all times, so it has to work with that. And you have to keep in mind that, in real life, someone’s gonna be playing these levels for a fucking hour-and-a-half at a time. It was pretty challenging.’

"Love, save us once
We'll fall from where we crawled
Trust us now, it's time to let me go
Give up on us, I know what you want
Trust us now, it's time to let me go
Give up, give our soul away..."
