From R*. Didn't see them posted yet. I assume these are the same as those in Game Informer.

Edit: Some info too

Max Payne 3 begins 12 years after the events of Max Payne 2, with Max visibly older, more violent, and more world-weary from the events of his own life. Having left the NYPD, Max has been taking odd jobs in security and consulting, and when we find him he is providing personal protection for a wealthy family in Sao Paolo, one of the world's deadliest and most crime-ridden cities. At absolute rock-bottom, Max discovers that trouble still dogs his every step, and he finds himself drawn into the brutal heart of the Brazil's dark underworld.

Max Payne 3 retains many trademarks of its predecessors; a focus on story and character-driven action, a large number of sophisticated weapons with dual-wield capabilities, Bullet-Time, an addiction to painkillers, mature themes and Max's ever-present internal monologue. Max Payne 3 also utilizes Natural Motion and Rockstar's own RAGE engine, working with brand-new particle physics technology to deliver spectacular, highly advanced close-quarters combat, an intelligent cover system, and constantly varied gameplay in every level.

It barely resembles a Max Payne game. :lol

Kazuma Kiryu · Jun 23, 2009

Wife beater? Muscles? Stupid yellow pants? That's not Max Payne that's

Boombloxer · Jun 23, 2009

Release Date is all I need.

Dascu · Jun 23, 2009

It's Señor Payne now.

Revolutionary · Jun 23, 2009

Those are the GI pix, alright.

EDIT: Did they release any of the artwork? I like the one with the guy holding the chick hostage. :lol

jet1911 · Jun 23, 2009

Colors? In my Max Payne? Noooo!

itsinmyveins · Jun 23, 2009

Is this Splinter Cell: Double Agent?

Kaako · Jun 23, 2009

Hmmm...can't make judgments yet. Just hmmm.

Minsc · Jun 23, 2009

Looks like the bastard child of Hitman + Uncharted.

Cruzader · Jun 23, 2009

Nice bullshots but like everyone says, this aint no max payne.

If I saw these 2 months ago I would never peg them as being from a Max Payne game.
The faux-noir style was what put MP over the top with out it you just have a loose reticle.

sixteen-bit · Jun 23, 2009

Is this the first time the franchise has seen sunlight?

Was thinking the same thing.

Ronin · Jun 23, 2009

Looks like Stranglehold.

Neomoto · Jun 23, 2009

So where are the Max Payne 3 screenshots?

Hah, nope. Just these 6 shots so far.

Concept17 · Jun 23, 2009

Weird setting, but I have high hopes and I like Max's new look.

brain_stew · Jun 23, 2009

Just as I thought, generic "next gen" shooter with the Max Payne license slapped on top of it. Ridiculous.

Indeed. Someone would have posted these screens a month ago without giving a title for the game and no one would have guessed it was Max Payne.

ditto

Calcaneus · Jun 23, 2009

Of course, I will reserve judgment until the final product is in my console, but man fuck what I'm seeing here.

Funky Papa · Jun 23, 2009

Ugh. Stop calling it Max Payne, R*.

Cruzader · Jun 23, 2009

Wow they are like brothers!

It's Splinter Payne! Or Max Cell! Or Splinter Max Cell....Payne!

Either way, where the hell is that noir look of MP that i grew too love? :|

When the darkness fell, New York City became something else, any old Sinatra song notwithstanding. Bad things happened in the night, on the streets of that other city. Noir York City.

Barakov · Jun 23, 2009

I have to see more before making before saying "I will nevah buy this evah". I still hate Max's new design, though.

dralla · Jun 23, 2009

ok this looks horrible

[Nintex] · Jun 23, 2009

Chris Redfield needs to hit the gym again and shave his beard.

AltogetherAndrews · Jun 23, 2009

So awesome

Kuroyume · Jun 23, 2009

This looks awful.

KZObsessed · Jun 23, 2009

This actually makes me sick :lol

Ok no, but it looks terrible and I loved Max Payne. Two of my favorite games ever. I doubt I will be buying this, tho they could still win me over I guess. Maybe. Probably not.

adamsapple · Jun 23, 2009

looks like a cross between the first chapter of Resident Evil 5 and Uncharted 2 (but visually, much worse)

AltogetherAndrews · Jun 23, 2009

You guys are the lamest people in the world.

Lakitu · Jun 23, 2009

:<

Please regift.

webrunner · Jun 23, 2009

Maybe if there's still over-the-top voiceovers of everything it can be spared?

Garryk · Jun 23, 2009

My God, he plays the entire campaign in that Denny's busboy outfit?

C4Lukins · Jun 23, 2009

This could just as easily be the sequel to Rockstar Table Tennis. It may be more similar to that game.

MrPing1000 · Jun 23, 2009

Grats rockstar you managed to totally remove the core of Max Payne's art style.

Bravo.

Dabookerman · Jun 23, 2009

That's not Max Payne...

squicken · Jun 23, 2009

OMG an open-world Burnout? It will be terrible. What are you doing Criterion? I know more than you about games don't ruin this franchise!!

Brandon F · Jun 23, 2009

It's the Ironman game that DOESN'T suck!

Rur0ni · Jun 23, 2009

Fail.

Xater · Jun 23, 2009

Well so far I am not impressed Rockstar. I get that you want to show off some stuff that wasn't in the previous games but Max Payne is noir you know?

Amir0x · Jun 23, 2009

Looks fantastic. All I need is that classic bullet-time-done-right gameplay and this is already guaranteed gold.

I don't think we can tell one thing or another about how "noir-ish" it's going to be, because the one image of his silhouette is very evocative.

Worst post in a thread filled with some of the all time worst posts ever. Good fucking job there.

Phantast2k · Jun 23, 2009

South American slums are the new Middle East.

Now now. There is no reason to think it is going to turn out as poorly as Burnout Paradise.
