Even made a poster to announce the first trailer?

Oh, they know we want it.

Fucking cock teases.

And that supposed box art is a complete and utter disgrace to the Max Payne series.

Max Payne: Modern Warfare?

No.

People need to stop calling everything a Call of Duty prefix / suffix because there's a favela, a weapon or the sight of anything that was present in Call of Duty.

Finally. What's up with the "tv interference" thing on the (possible) cover, though? What, if anything, could it be hinting at?

Actually it was the font that reminded me of CoD, don't know why.

It looks like derivative GTA art. I don't understand why they didn't keep the old style.

The look on his face is exactly how I imagined and it looks like he's about to kick some ass.

I hope it's at least as good as the trailer for Max Payne 2.

Dude that trailer contained the following: Copious amounts of explosions,actual crazy gunplay. People were shooting guns unbelievable, as only dudebros do that. It looked 'cinematic' another no no. And there were exciting scenes of 'action'. I don't play noir games for that kind of shit take this guy for instance his in complete agreement with whats wrong with Max Payne 2 sorry i mean 3.

If I wanted to play cinematic action explosion cover AI buddy i'd play RE5.

Angry Fork said:
Cinematic, Visceral, Experience, etc. are all buzz words that people should be afraid of. Every "re invention" has talked about this shit and it always results in making a game for dudebros.

This isn't Max Payne. The sun doesn't exist in noir. Whatta buncha joka's.


Actually 'The Hot Spot' and 'Angel Heart' are damn good noir films that take place in the blistering heat, but I agree. This seems like a poor fit for Payne.

The setting matters more to me in a story driven game than the over the top gameplay.

Oh no! Please don't attempt to do something new with a series! Give me exactly what I had before! Oh God!!
Yes I would agree with that. The last game came out in 2003 and nothing has been similar since, there's no reason to go somewhere new the first 2 are masterpieces.

edit - the black and white image above you is better, just needs to remove the guy/girl. I wouldn't bitch as much if the game still took place at night but I already know we're going to get missions Red Dead Redemption style where we face a bunch of people at some old guy's mansion since we're a bodyguard and the sun will be shining everywhere it'll be like that pool area in Uncharted 2. That's just not Max Payne imo. Call it a different name or spin-off and I wouldn't be raging.

Instead of removing all the color, you should've removed the dude and that girl. I really like the art, but it would look much better without them.

Yeah, just tried it myself and wanted to post it but those damn scanlines ...

Makes it look so cheesy.

I know it's an obvious thing to say, but let's wait to see how the game turns out first. I'm sure the noir will be dripping from the game regardless.

Quite aside from this, we already now the game will be jumping around the timeline and thus will also involve parts that are not Brazil based.

I'm willing to do that honestly I want to like the game Max Payne is one of my favorite series ever. I'm not going to write it off only for being in Brazil because Brazil can be a great setting for crime related stuff. I'm just very worried about having ton of the game being in sunny environments instead of the dark dreary sets from the first 2 games. If Max is so depressed and fucked up in the head that should manifest in the environment as well imo.

I actually don't care about the fat bald stuff btw, that seems like a logical progression if Max ends up letting himself go and all that, it's just Brazil + being a bodyguard for people etc. that has me pessimistic. I can only hope the timeline stuff is the majority of the game and Brazil is only 25% or something.
