Will be very interesting to see what the press says about how it plays. Hope it feels as good as it looks.
What makes you say that?
Surely people aren't forgetting that deliciously cheesy dialogue is a quintessential part of Max Payne.
Nice. The music so far is fantastic.
I wonder if it's all him, or if he's working with someone. Third straight R* soundtrack for Woody Jackson perhaps?
I personally think the graphics look great, especially with the physics and animations that they are using. Miles beyond RDR and GTA4 in my eyes.
because it's a game and I haven't played any game with a consistently interesting story but i don't care about that since I don't play games for their story.
it had potential in the beginning, but mexico kinda fucked it up.I'd say the last game Dan Houser wrote on, Red Dead Redemption had a fantastic story, my favourite of this gen so far. So I think he'll create an amazing story, or if not at least it will have interesting characters like GTA 4.

that's kind of surprising that they are demoing the pc version, don't most people show 360? Hopefully that means it performs well unlike GTAIV.
Yeah and I believe they had a demo on all 3 platforms for each respective outlet at their NY and London HQs yesterday. First batch of previews should be going online March 1st at 12pm EST and I can't wait!
It'll be nice to hear some impressions from others that have actually got to grips with the game because that's my only fear is that while everything looks and sounds great, I just hope it plays as good too.
Exactly. Without being tied to the mission-based open world design of their other games, people will hopefully not run into any sort of cognitive dissonance between Max's personality and his actions like they did with Niko.this kind of game shouldn't cause the problems that something like GTA4 or RDR pose. he can do it. Bully worked out pretty well and that was a game with less choice for the player to control the morality of their character.
Unfortunately, it just seems like standard practice these days. I was excited about that Xbox 360 spring showcase because Halo 4 is going to be there, but it's embargoed until like March 8th =(March 1st, damn I came in hoping for new impressions today. Why the extended embargo?

Another potential mind-blowing but hilarious twist would be.Max running across Jim Bravura who mistakenly retired to South America. The trash talk would presumably be amazing.
Haha that would be awesome! So when is the GAF replay of Max Payne 1 & 2? I just managed to get my copy of Max Payne 1 working for Mac so I'm eager to jump in!
Also the new trailer is already airing on TV here as a commercial. Seeing it makes me think May is closer than it is.
I'm totally down for a replay of the first two. I think we should wait till late next month, though. It's a sad thought, but we still have over two whole months until 3 =[
Is there any word on Dead Man Walking returning?
It would be epic in co-op
it had potential in the beginning, but mexico kinda fucked it up.
There's a variation of it as an online co-op mode called "Payne Killer". Essentially you and another player, or buddy, play as Max and his partner Passos while the rest of the game lobby take on the roles as gang members with the objective of taking either you as Max out or your partner. Whoever kills Max or Passos then takes on that role.
I have yet to download MP1 and MP2 off XBL, but I'll grab it same time as American Nightmare. So I'm in for a Replay. Everyone can bask in the awesomeness of Max Payne once again. If I remember right, it still holds up really well.
So, before a game/movie was released, is that the biggest crow-eating fest ever on GAF?
Haha, I think there are still some people who are not happy with what Rockstar is doing, they just aren't posting in these recent threads.
Which is fine. Some people are more resistant to change than others.
They really started the hype early for this, had a commercial Friday night on ESPN during the NBA game, telling people to go pre order now.
Not often you see that two and half months early.
Edit- I guess it's 3 months early now that I look at the date.
Yeah, I just saw a minute long spot right in the middle of the Lakers game.They really started the hype early for this, had a commercial Friday night on ESPN during the NBA game, telling people to go pre order now.

Probably. I remember laughing at the game when they released the first screens of bald Max. And now, I probably wouldn't be half as interested in the game if it weren't for those design change.So, before a game/movie was released, is that the biggest crow-eating fest ever on GAF?
Imagine if they got Mann to do a MP3 short like John Hillcoat did for Red Dead..
Yeah I've seen it two nights in a row now. Primetime too, like 7 at night.Yeah they are really going all out on the commercials. I've seen it quite a bit in the last day or so.
Man, I really love the look of the city. I've never been to São Paulo so I don't know how accurate they're being, but it sure as hell looks believable.
With the research trips that the article talks about, didn't R* have problems getting all of their equipment through customs? I don't know why this came to mind, but I remember reading that somewhere like a year ago.
Can't imagine how many cameras and just general tech that these teams carry around with them when they go out for research. Must be crazy.
What can you tell us about whats being shown off in the new story trailer? Whats the setup?
This trailer focuses on Maxs personal motivations, while revealing a bit more about the events that trigger the story of Max Payne 3. The bulk of the game takes place in São Paulo where Max is working executive security for Rodrigo Branco, a successful businessman, and his two brothers, Marcelo and Victor - all members of São Paulo's wealthy upper class. When Rodrigos beautiful trophy wife, Fabiana is kidnapped while under Max's protection, Max fights to find out whos behind the kidnapping and in the process, becomes involved in something much larger. São Paulo is a dangerous city and with Favela gangs, paramilitary outfits, and corrupt police forces as potential suspects, it quickly becomes clear that things are much more complicated than they seem, and Max can't be sure who to trust.
On the technical side, viewers may also notice some stylized post-processing effects, both during the in-game footage and the title slides. These effects are carried over into the game itself, and are present in certain moments both in real-time during gameplay and cut-scenes - and in both single and multiplayer.
Who are some of the new characters were being introduced to in the new trailer, and what are their connections to Max?
RN: Were introducing some of the main supporting characters in Max Payne 3 that viewers may have only caught a glimpse of in our previous trailers. The Branco family is comprised of three brothers. Rodrigo, the eldest, is a powerful businessman and real estate mogul. The middle brother, Victor, is a local politician, and the youngest, Marcelo, is a party-loving, euro trash playboy. Rodrigos trophy wife, Fabiana Branco, is obviously stunning, and her lavish lifestyle makes it easy for trouble to find her. Max gets connected to the Brancos by Raul Passos, a long forgotten colleague from the NYPD. Passos has convinced Max to leave New York and work as a private security guard for the family, which is an opportunity for Max, who's spent years trying to drown his own memories with booze and painkillers, to try and leave a lot of his problems behind. Since Fabiana is kidnapped on Maxs watch, Max is suddenly forced to re-live the events of his tragic past and so sets about trying to make things right for the Brancos in a way he never could for his own family.
From what weve seen so far, MP3 is set over a good chunk of Maxs life. How much, if any, of the events of Max Payne and Max Payne 2 will find their way into MP3? And do any of those events influence Maxs exploits this time around?
RN: Without giving away too much, the game mostly takes place in São Paulo, with events taking place outside the city revealed as Max's memories of the events that got him there. Leaving New York is a great opportunity to leave those things behind, but the same problems he faced in New York quickly find him in São Paulo. Max's past is a shadow that constantly haunts him, wherever he goes.
bets on Max banging the wife ?
He's elderly.
He's elderly.
New video! It's another weapon video, the Mini-30.
