The cover is awful. Why does it feature a bullet sponge front and center? And if that's not a bullet sponge, then why is a main bad guy dressed like a generic bullet sponge?
They should have just stuck to the same aesthetic as the other two games. Black and white cover with a red logo.

Jesus, I gotta stop coming into these Max Payne 3 threads. So much unbelievable whining at everything that gets leaked even though no one has played the game or seen so much as gameplay videos. Yes, the artwork isn't black and white like MP1 & 2. Yes, Max is bald. Yes, it's not New York. The unwillingness of people to get over these facts and just treat the game with a decent amount of open-mindedness is just mind boggling.
If this was any other studio I may be able to understand the incessant complaints, but it's R*. And as much as I like the first two games and like what Remedy has accomplished, I think the shift to Rockstar as developers is nothing but a good thing. And I respect their willingness to make some changes to the series. Hell, I even like the artwork. I never knew people were so in awe of the first two Max Payne box-art designs until I entered this thread. To me they seem like pretty standard fare.
If sequels were left to the hardcore fans all you'd get are tired rehashes. Max Payne 1 & 2 will always exist - if 3 rubs you the wrong way that much, you can always snuggle up to the first two. It's not like R* is destroying all the old copies. In the mean time I'll be looking forward to the new entry in the Max Payne universe.

I made that! Seriously, I made it when I was 15, I used a still of Keanu Reaves from Constantine. I love seeing that pop up every now and then.

They are still using the guy from MP2 to model the new look for Max.

No, they're now using James McCaffrey as the model, motion-capture actor and voice.
Also, anyone notice Max's missing a little bit of ear on the released artwork? O_O

I'd be happy if it had the same setting as the first 2 games or something similar. If I wanted to play cinematic action explosion cover AI buddy i'd play RE5.bishoptl said:

4. I read a preview/article a while back about a scene where you're with an AI character on some bike and some 'cinematic' explosion happens where this huge bridge collapse set piece happens or some bullshit.
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.

Shit, I missed that thread. After the initial announcement, they went so quiet on this game I forgot about it.NotTheGuyYouKill said:
The game looks interesting, the character, the setting. I haven't played any Rockstar games this gen, do they still insist on mapping zooming in and shooting on the PS3's triggers? I've often heard that the L2/R2 triggers are always default and you can't change it. That sucks...

There's nothing wrong with set pieces as long as their done well and aren't overbearing. But beyond that, how do you even know? You're just being incredibly speculative. You think we're gonna have a giant train chase? Outrun an avalanche? Fall from orbit while gunning down fighter jets? The only example of a set piece given is: Max slips off a roof and fires in Bullet time while going down, and Max leaping through a glass window and time slowing down.

Oooh, concept art, so terrifying.
Do you just really hate any place outside of New York?
Where did you read that? The only mission I've heard about is the one at the stadium where Max and his partner have to go do the ransom/hostage exchange, and nothing close to that ever happens.
Yeah, they're buzz words. That doesn't mean Max Payne 3 will suck cause the marketing department uses those words.

Regardless of whether that cover type artwork isn't noir enough R*'s art team are fucking godly.

Cinematic set pieces have no place in a Max Payne game according to you? Good that Rockstar isn't listening to guys like you. They should ship out an alternate "Max Payne 3: Fan Edition" where they simply redo MP1 with HD textures. Then the whiners can shut up while people actually play the new game.

The fan edition would be called Max Payne 3. This game should be called a spin-off or a new franchise entirely.Munin said:

Ahhhhhhh you grabbed that avatar before me! Damn you
purplecobra, here is a photo of the girl who (allegedly) plays Fabiana (her name is Benedita Pereira) in MP3:
It's cool that R* actually goes at and casts Portuguese actors for Portuguese roles, hahaha. I may have my gripes with past R* games, but casting is never one of them.

The next piece of artwork is yours then!
Hm, that doesn't really look like her on the poster artwork though. I wonder who Fabiana is then? She could be the "trophy wife" of Rodrigo Branco, the rich property mogul Max works for in Brazil.

Yeah, Edge article states that Fabiana is Branco's wife, and that Giovanna is her sister.

No?

Well... I'm a Max Payne fan. Have been since the first game came out. This is one of my favourite series. And I like the direction for MP3. So I think I'm a true fan and I like this? Did I just blow your mind?
Edit: Hey, is Max shooting a paramilitary guy in that second screen shot? Like one of those BOPE dudes? He's wearing body armour and a helmet.

The first thing that crosses my mind when I think of this new direction, is the developers saying "this is totally the same game as before, you'll see it when you play it, and we call it 5hitman".
Meanwhile they were going to use an entirely new voice actor for Max to fit this new (but it's still the same game!) direction, something that eventually changed because the fans "whined" enough to take notice.
I couldn't be more happy if I am proven wrong and the game has a true Max Payne feel. I'm waiting for the first gameplay trailer..
