Not even a gloat post but an observation.
Anyone remember when people used to seriously shit on this game and laugh at the idea that R* could deliver? I can't even be assed to go back and find the posts atm as there would be too many. But as has been proved time and time again patience is a virtue. Especially when it comes to games. A lot of people were kneejerking and screaming all sorts of shit before they'd even seen the game in action.
Even the fact that it was coming from R* who this gen have improved immeasurably with each game they've released was not enough to quell the know it alls.
I see the same behaviour in the Crysis 3 thread i have a feeling Crytek will be stuffing crow down the same throats next year.

lolI'm almost convinced that anyone arguing for the changes never thought all that highly of Max Payne to begin with.
That very well may have been the worse trailer I've ever seen. It did such a massive disservice to the game.
How could anyone approve that? Complete garbage, and nothing else.
Good thing the game will be great.
Hmm, not too fond of the commercial. Most of the scenes are just a mess to look at. The game looks great and I have seen scenes that would fit better for a trailer.

The increasing delay btw console and pc versions is getting annoying, it's like they're pushing you to give up and buy PS3 or 360 version first. It was like that with Arkham City, and now this. Always played the MP series on PC, but couldn't wait here and opted for 360 version + double dipping with PC superior version.
Why can't they just manage to release all versions at the same time?! I mean, how hard is that really?!
Wow @ that commercial. Looks great, and love that song. Wonder if it's part of the soundtrack.
It's a TV commercial, how in depth do you really expect it to go?Are we watching the same trailer? It's not moody at all. It's just "HEY LOOK WE GOT BULLETS LOOK AT THESE GUNS BAM BAM SHATTER GLASS WHO CARES WHO MAX IS OH AND BAD UNFITTING MUSIC."

So it's a Max Payne game. Sweet.It's just "HEY LOOK WE GOT BULLETS LOOK AT THESE GUNS BAM BAM SHATTER GLASS."
Why is Rockstar so damn good?
I'd love to know what the average development/marketing budget on their games is.
where'd you get that number from?With marketing, Red Dead Redemption was 100 million dollars.
With marketing, Red Dead Redemption was 100 million dollars.
... 100 Million on marketing? The entire production cost of GTA IV on marketing? What.
you didn't read it right. including marketing, RDR's budget was 100 million, but I don't really believe that.... 100 Million on marketing? The entire production cost of GTA IV on marketing? What.

Yeah... that's a damn poor commercial, especially coming from Rockstar. Limited bullet ballet without any context.
I understand they can't show bullet impacts because of the gore effects, so, why not fall back on your story to fill in the blanks? Maybe they have no confidence in it? "Just throw in a woman dancing in a miniskirt for the GTA kids, and pacify the Payne noir fanbase with a darkly lit hangover clip!"
Worrisome.
The wait for the PC version is going to be hard.
So it's a Max Payne game. Sweet.
Not sure a one minute ESPN spot is the best place to explore Max as a character or the game's plot. As for the music, I think it's pretty great.
Gamefly console version then buy PC!
I loved the commercial, even though the line about MP3 coming "from the makers of GTA and RDR" isn't strictly true ("From the makers of Bully" would be more accurate, but whatever, doesn't have the same marketing pull to it I guess ).
Fuck, just over 3 weeks to go, hyyyyppeddd.

Exactly. Like I said above, I guarantee this will be one of the few games my brother buys this year based on the flashy commercial and the R* name.I think some of you people are forgetting that they ALREADY ran a story trailer as a pre-order commercial for like 6 weeks. This commercial is the one that draws in the "3 games a year" guys, and the CoD/BF/HALO bros.
Damn. Well done.Wow @ that commercial. Looks great, and love that song. Wonder if it's part of the soundtrack.
