This was always the difference between PC and Console Max Payne to me in the past. The ability to dive and headshot everyone before you hit the ground.
One of my favorite things about Euphoria is that bodies will still react to being shot even after they're "dead" like in this gif. I love that you can see the guy's body reacting to every individual bullet impact.
Brutal and awesome. Fuck, I hope GTAV's combat can come remotely close to this.

Looks absolutely amazing. Can't wait to get my hands on this game. As far as I'm concerned, this game is going to have almost infinite replay-ability! So excited!

Am I the only one to notice the mid-flight autoreload?
That's the only iffy thing I can say about this game yet. Can't wait!

Again it shows that Rockstar is one of the few companies who took their animation further this gen, blending their own stuff with licensed systems like Euphoria and Motionscanning.
I was hoping more devs would do these kind of things this gen, but it seems R* is still one of the very few who actually try to implement new stuff and not iterate on something UEngine for an entire generation.
Bar from a few exceptions I feel animation is one of the neglected things this gen. I hope devs focus more on it next cycle.

My only worry about this video? I'm hoping they're playing on easy mode or something, because it looks like bullet time plus constant moving makes you damn near invincible (or rather the enemies have mega-shit aim) . I mean, guys with a shotgun two feet from him are missing him entirely. Bullet Time should still have strategy to it, not just a "okay now you can charge into the middle of the group of enemies and not worry about it" insta-own button. Hopefully it just looks like that to make for a good trailer...
It's obviously harder nowadays since games are so complex but I'm hoping for a continuation of Max Payne's awesome modding community with 3.

aww man
The hands on previews all pretty much say it's a pretty difficult game. Cover is used only to plan out your next move and the AI is super aggressive. That along with no regenerating health and the fact that you have to build up bullet time I think that that it's safe to say that the game won't be a push over.
These videos are just demonstrations after all.
Playing it at PAX basically doubled my interest in this game. It's great to see that Rockstar basically tried to amp up its own pedigree rather than get gimmicky with Max Payne 3- artistry and effort are going to sell people on this game.
2012 keeps getting all the better. May is going to be a disaster on my wallet thanks to this, Starhawk, LBP, and Resistance.

Guy getting shot up at 2:20 is probably the highlight of the vid for me. So badass.

Those environments look quite lovely.

I seem to say it every time Rockstar releases a new video but...Holy Fucking Shit.
My favorite video thus far, the detail on everything is just insane like the Desert Eagle for example. Also the Bullet-Cam scene of the guy getting riddled with bullets before crashing through the glass door was fucking AWESOME!
...shit, just noticed the ESRB rating too. So close.

And once again Rockstar proves they can not make a bad game.
I disagree here. I'm not sure if it was their setup or early build, but the 360 version which I played twice on two different console and TV setups has pretty terrible input delay on aiming and movement.
PC was flawless and 360 pad on PC was flawless. Controls are good. Performance is good.
As a bonus the PC version has ALL the options you'd expect. No GTA IV bullshit.
Yeah, I was playing another level where I had 10% health, 0 painkillers (medpacks) and I had to fight 5 people on low ground who were advancing and throwing grenades.
I decided to just leap over the railing, taking out one guy, headshotting the next two while still in mid air, turning to finish off the last guy, then turning the other direction to finish off the last person just coming out of cover as I reloaded. To my understanding headshots prolong your bullet time which maybe have been why I was able to do that. Pretty awesome to see the guys turning to face you mid air in slo mo.
The early part of the game most were being shown is very easy. I was playing a different level where I didn't have 6 painkillers and enemies were more keen on pushing forward.

MSAA? As far as I could tell, that was the only thing obvious missing from GTA4.

This. I need to know this.
The PC demo was running either FXAA or MSAA.
I meant in terms of 20 options on 'graphic options' vs. the 5 GTA IV had.
But then it wouldn't be Max Payne.

I need this game. NOW.
There will be another Multiplayer video soon.
Another trailer? i don't know, they already showed enough i think. I rather watch Max shooting baddies instead of showing important stuff from the story.
Well you don't have to show much, it just has to be cool and fill up the time between now and release, to not let people forget about the game.
You know, some creative editing, a nice music..
On a side note: the fucking detail on that Desert Eagle, damn.

Yeah but it seems like they are really trying to avoid showing anything beyond a certain point in the story.
Which I don't blame them, a lot of devs blow their plot wide open from the get go and then there are no surprises left when you get the game.

I am betting the next things we see will be part 2 of the multiplayer stuff. Then of course a launch trailer next month....Then the game will be out!

Hmmm I could probably do without the scripted involuntary bullet time sequences.

I'm awaiting the input lag video when the game comes out, just as people did for Heavenly Sword and GTA 4.

Yeah i think they will save some stuff for the launch trailer.
haha yeah. most of those haters eat crow now.
Knee-jerk reaction gaf is always out in full force.
I'm still on that though ... But for many other reasons.
