Woke ridiculing is more like it. The last thing I fear are woke individuals.Love these threads, Woke Fearing is as bad as the wokes themselves, you can't say anything these days without idiots thinking it's "woke" and screaming about replacing characters with black trangenders

It would refill on its own for one. You didnt need to accumulate kills to build it up. They wanted you to use it pretty much all the time.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Max Payne 3's gameplay was ace, that's all.

So Lake is going to make this Max Payne an extended version that seamlessly combines the stories of 1 and 2, clever actually. Anyone remember the game length of those 2 games? I remember 3 being quite long.

How Long to Beat has MP1 and 2 at ~8 hours each.
Control alone is far longer than both of those combined.

Sounds good to me. I never played Max Payne until 3, and that was pretty much only because I was hyped for GTA V info. (Trust me, it made sense at the time. Well, to me.) I was just never interested, all I knew was that they were about a detective or something and it had gunplay from The Matrix. A game with bullet time action might have appealed to me if it was baked into a surreal sci-fi motif, but just some cliche NYC cop? No thanks. I thought MP3 was nothing more than OK. Alan Wake was the game that put Remedy on the map for me, it was probably after that when I finally took a look at Max Payne, but even in 2010 they already looked so dated and clunky that I still wasn't really interested. After Control, my pick for GOTY 2019, I'd totally be into a full blown top-to-bottom remake though.
Absolutely NOTHING about what Remedy has said though has indicated they're doing anything "woke" and yet some people like to jump in to mention the "woke" and how the the "woke" are going to destroy the game and how companies are "woke" and how they'll be replacing Max with a black transgender disabled person.
Do you not know how tiring it is? Ridicule all you like when it's actually warranted but I swear "Woke-mongering" then is getting as bad as actual woke people demanding stuff, I'd say it's even worse on this forum since we don't have that many actual woke types screaming, we have MORE people screaming about wokes instead.

Never really played this way back when - but watched someone play a lot of it. Tried it out recently and thought it was pretty good, mainly the plot delivery. This seems like a no brainer for easy money.

Instead of activating bullet time at any moment using the bullet time "gague", they made it so you can always use the bullet time, but only when you jump.

How game designers are not aware that people hate dream and drug sequences by now?
I bet they will add another Mary Jane sequence in the next Spiderman

ah yes Remedy, the famously woke studio who hates capitalism and is comprised of diversity hire union worker fat pink haired black feminists who insert marxist political agendas into every one of their games, such as Control, Alan Wake and Max Payne. That Remedy.
Eat a snickers or something. Let the woke paranoia fade away.

Non issue. Alan Wake 2 is funded by epic and thats why its stuck. Rockstar owns max payne and will publish this.

This sounds pretty awesome to me. Max Payne is probably one of my most beaten games of all time. A proper remake from Remedy sounds like a mandatory buy.

That wasn't done by Remedy.

I think ragdoll physics was pretty new technology back then.
The dream sequences with the crying baby in the background is even today haunting and very uncomfortable to watch. Now imagine they removed the platforming aspect and it's even more impactful.
I loved how simple and focused the gameplay were back then; no crafting, no perk systems etc. No health regeneration so there was never a need to halt and hold back with the action when you stacked enough painkillers, just go straight through and keep shooting. Yet there were downtimes in regard of the pace, for very very light exploration (painkillers, ammunition) but also for atmosphere, dialogues, soaking in the environment. The first person narrative is even to this day something you rarely see (I'm so going to buy El Paso, Elswhere just for that) and is one of its kind.
The texture and art work is very coherent and looks good even today. Controls are responsive as fuck and rivals first person shooters.
The Max Payne games will always have a place in my Greatest of All Time hall.

Hopefully they will use James McCaffrey for the Max Payne 1 and 2 Remake.

They needn't touch gameplay. Just make it look modern tech wise.

Yeah, and maybe not so floaty ragdoll in Max Payne 2.

Max is now a non-binary LBTQI spokesman on a quest for acceptance. Anyone against gets "cancelled".
Features:
- Max dress-up: Stun the enemies with bright colors and piercings (Defense stats +100)
- Snowflake time: Push your agenda in slow motion
- Pacifist mode: NPC's and Max shout Pew pew instead of shooting
Its ma'am DLC will be available through Wokepass later on.

Yeah I wouldn't mind if they took the gameplay and physics of MP3 and apply it for the remake.
Edit. But with a full weapon wheel.
