Support NeoGAF

[Rickenslacker]

I guess I should be thankful that the PC version is out two weeks later, gotta give me some Diablo 3 time. Hope I don't get randomly spoiled in the meantime. I've been skeptical of the bald Brazil angle the entire time, and I really don't think the game will win me over in those sections, but whatever. The game seems mechanically sound.

 

[Black_Stride]

What do you use to make ur .gifs....the quality is amazing.

Normally I'd given them shit for this, but there is also something releaseing on the PC on the 15th this month as well. Not sure if you've heard about it. Its a relatively niche title.

I already broke up with my social life.
And here I was thinking i was gonna have an outdoor vacation.

2500K overclocked ✔
GTX570 overclocked ✔
16GB Ram overclocked ✔
35Gb free ✔

Im so ready for this!

They'd rather force people to get a console version than risk pirates for PC. That's the only reason they delay this PC stuff and apparently it's working since people here are willing to get an inferior version instead of waiting.

This makes a shocking amount of sense im having trouble believing i read this on GAF.

Noon Eastern on Thursday. Nice.

Haha awesome. Did we not call it or what?

.

So is the file size, HA!

All kidding aside, I use photoshop CS6 - but CS5 will do just fine too. Here are my settings. I usually lower the framerate to 18 FPS, so I can shave some off of the file size. Lowering the framerate is done by pressing on Document Settings in the Animation window.

 

[mudkyp]

Utterly fantastic OT.

First two Max Payne games replayed.
Bought some Health albums.
Game is preordered and paid for.

My body is ready.

Thanks I will test this out on my main tower and see if it works.
I used CS5 for gifs before but they never turned out too well.

Sorry for the random threadjack.

I still don't fully understand how bullet time works in multiplayer.

Oh excellent. Thanks

 

[Helveck]

I played the first one religiously, but felt the second one was unnecessary... Though after a long absence, and no recent exciting games to keep my attention, I am now ridiculously pumped for this game. Can't wait.

 

[Stat!]

Too excited for this game. 1 more week and it will be mine.

Neogaf crew?

 

[dreamfall]

Ah, brilliant! Launch trailer is going to be dopeness! That Midnight release inches closer!

Ive pre-ordered the collectors edition from zavvi(PAL games only) although I have ntsc 360.
Can someone confirm that it`s region free?

I agree the second was was a little unnecessary, but it was well done for what it was trying to be.

The only thing I didn't like about the second was how it handled bullet time and that spin thing.

Okay maybe the spin thing was kind of cool.

 

[The Dutch Slayer]

VERY VERY well done OP awesome! can't wait.

GOTY:

MY BODY:

 

[KorrZ]

VERY VERY well done OP awesome! can't wait.

I've seen this gif about 100 times now and it still looks god damn awesome every single time. Can't wait for this.

 

[JumpingTheGun]

Wondering if trophies stack through playthroughs and according to difficulty level. Does anyone know the differences between difficulties? The one that baffles me is Old School vs Hardcore.

Edit: I'm just gonna go ahead and assume Medium = Easy, Hard = Normal, Old School = Hard and Hardcore = Very Hard

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

Noon Eastern on Thursday. Nice.

Four banners in the |OT|, really?

I'm not going to buy into the Rockstar hype again, is a demo planed?

Gotta ride dat hype train. No demo.

They also released a track from the soundtrack, it's a rap song by "Emicida"? It's called '9 Circulos' (9 Circles)

You can listen to it here: http://www.rockstargames.com/newswi...from-the-max-payne-3-original-soundtrack.html

It's pretty good, considering I understood none of it.

So like, is it okay for me to share some art I've been working on when I finish it?

Also, is there a list of all of the guns that will be available yet?

or is that being kept under wraps too?

Hey man, feel free to share it. Also, there's a list of weapons videos in the first post. It's not exhaustive, just the ones R* has shown so far.

Lyrics (Translation) after the jump, on Rockstar Newswire yo! http://www.rockstargames.com/newswire/article/33821/emicida-9-crculos-from-the-max-payne-3-original-soundtrack.html

"It feels like a crack hit, but it's just paranoia.
Off I go, carrying my gun - the enemies keep an eye on us
Of course, it stresses and tires me.
Whiskey, neon, dim lights and she dances.
It's me and my demons - like always.
Cigarette... stiff drink... without hope,
Everything that talks, lies.
It's tough at rock bottom - when the pain’s yours, you feel it.
Love I sought, like slow samba.
Lights are out, legs are shaky.
An addict, with a cross on his chest, staring at his sad reflection.
Life draining through his fingers..."

CLICK- CLACK! Max is BACK! Feel that FUCKING PAIN (sp. PAYNE?!)!

 

[Sevket-Erhat]

Pre-ordered Max Payne 3 (PS3) from Shopto . They are giving free MP3 t-shirts with pre-orders but I wonder if they will ask my size before sending it

 

[Red Blaster]

Alan Wake was fantastic.

Blasphemy. AW was great, not as great as MP1/2 which were perfect but good enough for me to replay it without a problem after losing my 7 hour save. And AW has so much atmosphere and feel oozing out of it at every moment, MP3 won't come close in that regard. If MP3 can't touch Alan Wake's atmosphere then it's not going to get anywhere near Max Payne 1 and 2.

Sorry bros, Alan Wake was a bad game. Alan Wake himself was one of the worst protagonists ever; unlikeable asshole who also happens to be a fucking idiot aka literally the worst type of character in fiction. A terrible C-grade Twin Peaks/Stephen King mishmash plot and much of the game railroading the player on 4 foot wide mountain paths fighting the same 2 enemies each time equals a bad game.

You can be suspect of Max Payne 3 all you want because Rockstar has fucked up in the past but Remedy did such an astoundingly terrible job with Alan Wake that assuming a Max Payne 3 by them would be as good as the first two games would be remiss.

 

[JumpingTheGun]

I still have the promo MP3 shirt from GS with the March 15 release date on the back. Will be wearing with pride to work next Monday!

No, it's fine, I had the same reaction.

They usually just get one size, the last shirt I got off them was L.

Your OPINION was noted...

 

[bishoptl]

Everything I hate about this game in 1 screenshot.

Still, looking forward to seeing if it has enough playtime in NYC before deciding if I should bother with this, as well as proper writing and the Lynchian creepy moments from the previous 2. I suspect that's been gotten rid of though since shooter fans don't typically like subtly and nuance.

oooooo let me let me

 

[Black_Stride]

Yeah i played it yesterday on my NTSC console its completely region free.

Look:

I think most people know your opinion of the game. Why? Because you posted in every MP3 thread how much you hate the direction they took.

But dude, even the OT? Give it a rest, carry on. There are lots of people who are ready for Rockstar's vision of the franchise, no need to make it shitty for other people.

 

[keltickennedy]

I wouldn't bother with Angry Fork...

... lol really? I have a feeling this part will be pretty embarrassing if it plays in the game.

 

[JumpingTheGun]

Well it'll be all in Portuguese, most likely in the background during the nightclub scene or somethin so don't worry about it =P

 

[Fjordson]

I think dreamfall added that part :lol

 

[geebee]

Well it'll be all in Spanish, most likely in the background during the nightclub scene or somethin so don't worry about it =P

Yeah, it probably wont be that bad. I just immediately pictured a fan coming up with this rap and creating a Youtube video for it lol.

[rjfs]

Going to preorder this now. I know there are different bonuses depending on where you order it from, I assume the Amazon one is best if you'll be playing multiplayer?

 

[iNvid02]

I would wear gaming related apparel if it wasn't just cheap fabric with a logo slapped on

Make it something subtle only people who have played the game might know about'
make it decent quality and price it sensibly and I would probably buy something

Got 0 interest in "gaming merchandise" right now

 

[Prime crotch]

Portuguese.

 

[Ramocalypse]

Any word on the Special Edition availability for 360? Trying to get it on Amazon with no luck.

Also, just signed up for NeoGANG on the googledoc, cant wait to play with some of you guys or gals

 

[dreamfall]

... lol really? I have a feeling this part will be pretty embarrassing if it plays in the game.

I think dreamfall added that part :lol

NO, NO MY GOD! Apologies! That was definitely my addition, I was just kind of singing along, feeling the moment, getting hyped, adding shitty lyrics... GAH!

 

[JumpingTheGun]

Portuguese.

my bad thanks! Fixed!

The Special Edition reserves ended on April 1st. You MIGHT be able to score one later on down the line, but who knows...
