"Max Payne 3 takes the feel of the first games and coats it in glorious HD... Bullet Time -- the ability to slowdown time, leap through the air and blast your enemies -- is back, but it looks better than ever... From the moment I heard that piano tune to the moment I heard James McCaffrey reprise his role as a man whose family was stolen away in a violent crime, I was hooked. Max Payne is back."

"The game looks gorgeous... The camerawork is inspired as well, often exhibiting a slight handheld shake and natural movement in the story sequences I saw... mobsters were rushing up the stairs of Max's apartment building and starting to pierce the windows in his hallway with red-dot sights. Down a hallway, a hobo suddenly appeared, dressed in an army jacket, clearly wearing a bomb on his body and spouting some sort of madness. He runs to Max in the middle of a firefight after shotgunning some enemies for Max, then gets blown up. It was weird, surreal and excellent."

"With its flashy effects and cinematics as you kill your final enemy, Max Payne 3 is big on style. But, with its thrilling gun battles, detailed environments and Max’s noir-style inner monologue, it looks to have the substance nailed too."

"I am so floored that Rockstar has been able to stay true to the fundamentals of what makes Max, Max. Rockstar even has the full blessings of Remedy, the original developers of the Max Payne series. Max Payne 3 is looking like one of the biggest games of 2012."

"Max Payne 3 is looking like the true sequel loyal fans of the series will want to play and, most importantly, embrace."

Hype+100. I think I need to load Max Payne 1 after I beat the second one...again.

 

[AgentChris]

Hype! Its been a while Max.

 

[GasProblem]

Played all the Max Payne game and loved them. I just want to see some Max Payne 3 gameplay

 

[Xanadu]

i just know i'm going to be disappointed

 

[Grisby]

Great! I was a bit meh after seeing the trailer but this is some good news. I hope the Brazil stuff turns out good as well.

 

[-BLITZ-]

The first picture reminds me of this:
Does he smile .

 

[Wallach]

i just know i'm going to be disappointed

Really? I'm not very worried at all. This is exactly the kind of game Rockstar is actually good at making.

 

[MDSLKTR]

 

[revolverjgw]

It's an inevitability, and it always was, that this game is going to fucking wail and make the complainers look like the lamewads they are.

 

[DrFunk]

mmmhmmmm

 

[Dabanton]

i just know i'm going to be disappointed

Some of you guys, not aiming at anyone in particular, will hate this game no matter the result.

 

[GeoramA]

Never had any doubt.

 

[ampere]

Still excited, still cautious

Previews sound good so far

 

[Struct09]

Never had any doubt.

Same here, been hyped since it was announced.

 

[Lostconfused]

Ok all those quotes are about cinematic business and all what not that I don't care about. Somebody tell me if this game is fun to play and how well it compares to Max Payne 2.

 

[WrikaWrek]

I have so much faith. Rockstar has the touch.

 

[Dabanton]

Ok all those quotes are about cinematic business and all what not that I don't care about. Somebody tell me if this game is fun to play and how well it compares to Max Payne 2.

Why don't you read the articles?

 

[Criminal Upper]

I wouldn't trust an IGN, Kotaku and especially Destructoid preview any farther than the distance I can leap while diving in bullet time.

Which isn't far.

But still, I guess this is pretty positive.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Played all the Max Payne game and loved them. I just want to see some Max Payne 3 gameplay

How was the GBA port? It always intrigued me.

 

[lostxii]

Can't wait! Rockstar has rarely disappointed me.

 

[Lostconfused]

Why don't you read the articles?

Don't care enough to waste my time readin the article.

 

[Buckethead]

Can't wait! Rockstar has rarely disappointed me.

GTA IV was a disappointment but Red Dead is my favorite game of all time so I will play anything they ever make.

 

[Fjordson]

Not surprised at all the positivity. Of course this is going to be great. Doubters are hilarious.

 

[Simo]

I don't suppose a mod could fix the thread title? I assumed from Rockstar's article they were hands-on impressions but it was just a case of the press being invited out to Rockstar NY and a rep demoing 2 areas. My bad!

Reading all the articles....everything is sounding great and the concern over melee, I don't think I ever used it in MP1&2 anyways. The tip about NPCs speaking fluent Portuguese with no subtitles was a nice touch.

 

[IchigoSharingan]

If you have the time to make two stupid posts, you can read the article rather than having someone read for you. Freaking spoiled brat.

 

[darth_infamous]

I find it odd that no one has brought up the cover system already. I'm not sure how I feel about it yet, probably won't know until I get a hands-on chance myself. Could it work for MP3? Sure, I guess, but it heavily depends on how it feels.

 

[Lostconfused]

If I did have the time I would have already read the article. And if this was just a presentation than reading the article would have been a complete waste of time since my questions wouldn't be answered.

 

[Lime]

Since when did previews ever become reliable or indicative of the product? A Rockstar one even...

Won't people ever learn or aren't the people falling for the hype aware of the integrity of both game journalists and especially previews?

 

[Marleyman]

GTA IV was a disappointment but Red Dead is my favorite game of all time so I will play anything they ever make.

In what way?

 

[mysticwhip]

If I did have the time I would have already read the article.

lol ur dumb

 

[Hazanko]

I don't trust any of the previews. I have my doubts that this game will be any good.

 

[Darklord]

In what way?

Wasn't as fun as Vice City or SA. In 10 years those 2 will be the sames people call classics, not GTA4.

 

[BoobPhysics101]

Max Payne 2 is still one of the best third person shooters ever made. I hope MP3 can live up to that.

 

[Blutonium]

In what way?

Drive run shoot, drive run shoot, drive run shoot, drive run shoot? Still loved GTA4 though.

Ontopic: I'm still a bit skeptical. The trailer did not blow me away. I really DO hope Rockstar has been faithful to noir-formula. On top of that: motherfucking Euphoria with motherfucking bullettime!

 

[Dennis]

 

[Zoramon089]

. . .
But why?

 

[DarkSoul520]

Is it really that hard to believe that Max Payne would shave his head? The dude has undergone so much shit.

 

[Spookie]

I don't see Payne any more. All I see is Walt from Breaking Bad.

 

[ezekial45]

I don't see Payne any more. All I see is Walt from Breaking Bad.

Is that a bad thing, really?

 

[54-46!]

I'm still very skeptical, I really hope this isn't as generic as it looks and that it has a lot of that old atmosphere.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

Fucking fantastic! Love the new shots and all the positive previews.

My most anticipated game of 2012.

Can someone make me an avatar from the first image with Max smiling?

 

[[Nintex]]

Meh Rockstar has the marketing touch we had articles like this about LA Noire before release and then it came out and we had amazing reviews and suddenly it wasn't cool anymore when the marketing money dried up. The same goes for Red Dead Redemption and Mafia 2

 

[The Dutch Slayer]

I'll hate the game for being a Max Payne game.
Going to love the game because its going to be awesome action game.

This is btw also A GREAT preview you should add to the op:

[Danne-Danger]

. . .
But why?

Maybe he's trying to not look like Max Payne.

 

[revolverjgw]

Mafia 2?

 

[jediyoshi]

Don't care enough to waste my time readin the article.

Pretend they're forum posts. Like this one.

 

[Kaako]

Nice. Now give me some new gameplay footage.

 

[Fjordson]

The articles say it's not really a big focus. You can peak out and shoot from it, but it's really all about diving around in bullet time.

 

[MYE]

. . .
But why?

Makes him look more intimidating, perhaps?

 

[Angry Fork]

None of the quotes speak on the game's dialogue or atmosphere. The most important part of the first 2 games. Fuck bullet time and flashy bullshit if they don't get those 2 right.

Previews are always positive bullshit anyway. And when it comes to Rockstar every review is a glowing dick riding marathon. Red Dead Redemption deserved no more than an 8 but it's apparently the greatest shit to come out of gaming in 2010. smh.

People know my opinion on this already from all the bitching i've done. I have no faith in this game. The 'flashback' portions will probably be okay, but I do not like, want, or care about the brazil shit.
