Max is coming back.
 

cool

Sean Connery

As long as they have something more than bullet time this time, bring it on.

Loved the first two games, cannot remember how it all ended though.

YES!

I hope Mark Wahlberg does the voice.

That's a terrible idea, G.

ya think

Hopefully they'll have that same guy that voiced the other games.

I like the last 2 games but there was way too much dialouge in Max Payne 2. I don't like playing a game were every 2 steps you take there is a cut scene it gets annoying fast.

april fools?

No you didn't. You lie.

Nobody cares fag.

Give me your address

Yoru scared of me plain and simple.

lol I'm sure I am.

Thats why you won't give me your ADDRESS!

Yup, you're right. I'm scared of a 12 year old kid. Still haven't gotten over that ass kicking that I got from the 11 year old

Give me you address lets se how badass you really are.

Shut up Kane86. "olololol i'll kik ur azz in rl"

In march? :?:

If this is on the Wii i'll be happy

There is some info about Max Payne 3. Rather than copying and pasting text from different sites, I'll just post Screwattacks Hard News show. It has all the latest info.

lol wtf, the enviroment drawings look like they were lifted out of Stranglehold

Why does he look like McClane?

I'm down as long as marky mark is not involved in any way

He is what ruined the film for me so having the voice would be a no-go

MAX PAYNE 3 OLD DEMONS... ...NEW BEGINNINGS

Playstation 3 | XBOX 360 | PC
> Style 1-Player Action (Multiplayer TBA)
> Publisher Rockstar Games
> Developer Rockstar Vancouver
> Release Winter

What does it feel like to lose everything? Most of us will never know.
But what would you do if you lost your job? Your true love? Your sanity?
Your reasons for living? Rockstar's long-missing noir hero, Max Payne, knows the answer to these questions.
Max has been absent from the video game landscape since the 2003
release of Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne. The long-awaited Max Payne 3 features a hero much different than the handsome character
we once knew. This new Max is older and harder, marked with the scars
of his fall to the bottom. While he's still very much a violent man of action,
the world around him has moved on and so has he. What would a man with nothing left to lose do to get one more chance at the good life? This question will ultimately be answered in Rockstar's next epic adventure.

THE THIRD ACT
If you want to know how much has changed in the world of Max Payne, look no further than the cover of the magazine you're reading (GameInformer). The bald, bearded man on the cover bears little resemblance to the character we followed through two successful games. He's aged considerably since the tragic events of Max Payne 2, with a scarred face and thicker build. If not for the logo on the cover, it would be hard to recognize Max at all. Clearly, Rockstar Games, which is developing the game in-house for the first time since purchasing the rights from series creator Remedy, is not averse to taking chances with the franchise.
"It's a tricky thing, because you're taking this beloved franchise that we didn't do originally," comments Rockstar art director Rob
Nelson. "You have to maintain the elements of it that are special and that people remember, but you also have to evolve. We're not Remedy, but we have a lot of respect for what they did. We're definitely looking back and trying to maintain every element that clicked with people eight or nine years ago and make it have the same impact now."
It's a difficult balancing act. How do you create a game that both respects the history of the franchise and creates a world that feels fresh to gamers in 2009?
"We're used to having franchises that people expect a lot from and we have a lot of pressure attached to them," Nelson says. "We've learned to go with our gut and trust our instincts. ...we wanted to challenge ourselves."
At Rockstar's headquarters in New York, located in the hip SoHo district, we witnessed a world-exclusive first look at the game in action. If you expected a by-the-numbers sequel, prepare to be surprised. The third chapter of the Max Payne saga takes our hero places that he's never gone before, while at the same time keeping an eye towards maintaining and improving the stylish gunplay that made his reputation. Like most Rockstar games, it's clearly a labor of love (and a little bit of mania).

P.S. - Had to type all that from my advance subscribed copy of the mag. They should be putting up the article on their site sometime tomorrow.

He looks Russian.

Sorry about the delay with the rest of the article. The current issue of GI was supposed to go "Unlimited" Monday, but apparently they still have not put up the MP3 article yet...however, I will keep my eyes peeled for when they do throw it up and get it on here as quick as possible.

I hear its supposed to be like Man on Fire but in Videogames

Loved Man on Fire so would be happy with that, although not liking the look of Max.

A leaked teaser trailer. It says "Coming Winter 2009" even though MP3 isn't out until 2010. I'm guessing the change in release date may be why the teaser was never released.

awesome

They should use the "shitting Michael Keaton" face expression from the first part.

The first new screens in months, if not years.:

http://cache.gawker.com/assets/image...e_3_shaves.jpg

These came with a tweet that just said "He's coming."

Damn. Totally forgot about this

Sam & Max > Max

*Maxx

The first one Looks like Resident Evil.

If both those screens are Max, why is one with hair and one without? I'm guessing either the story takes place over a long period of time or we have flash back levels.

Source.

Boo the graphic novel element was awesome.

But yessssss on McCaffrey returning

More screens, this time showing what looks like gameplay:

R* say we'll get a lot more info these next few months. I'm thinking a trailer within the next month.

Can't wait for this shit

Graphics look incredible.

I am HIGHLY dissapointed at the comic style story panels being removed. Awkward 3D character animation boring cutscenes <<<<<<<<<<< awesome comic panels with quality voice acting.

R* announced the game will be released in March 2012.

Multiplayer confirmed:

Based on first impressions with the latest demo from both Giant Bomb and Kotaku, the game plays just like previous Max Payne games to get rid of people worried the game could be completely different due to the new developers.

The game doesn't completely get rid of the New York City setting from previous games since it was confirmed at least the initial part of the story and gameplay takes place in the city.

Biggest changes are Max can only carry 2-3 weapons at a time instead of every gun possible in the game. Also shown was now when Max is about to die and an enemy is nearby, he gets a final shot that if it connects will restore some health back.

Why did they change Max Payne's face??????????????


His original face was the BEST EVER OF ALL TIME - OF ALL TIME.

:(

I mean come on, they turned Max into this guy

Rockstar already has the first DLC content done for the game even though the game itself won't be available for another 4 months.

The pre-order gift at Gamestop is early access to the Cemetery multiplayer map which won't be available to everyone else until March 2012.

The cemetery map also contains the graves of Max's former wife and child who got killed off in the first game.

The game has been pushed back to May. New video:

The official site is up and here is a short video showing the "608 Bull" gun. There is also a 360 degree render of the gun and some screens.

Loved Max Payne 1 & 2, but concerned if Rockstar can make #3 as good as Remedy made the first two.

I download Max Payne 1 and 2 quite a while ago during an Xbox sale, and with the new one coming out soon, I figured I should finally play the first 2.

Holy man were they satisfying. I'm definitely excited for the third.

Achievement list was revealed and a bunch of them involve doing trick shots or shots in bullet time.

http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/...hies-revealed/

System specs for the PC version:

35gb? wtf lol

Rockstar released the entire list of DLC packs for the next couple of months.

http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/...e-3-dlc-plans/

LOL, people might just as well wait and save themselves some money by waiting for the inevitable release of MP3 with all the DLC on disc. Never did understand just throwing $ at DLC for download just to have it "day one" instead of sparing your poor wallet every now and again.

Made a crew for this and junk.

http://socialclub.rockstargames.com/crew/crew_tpww

1 piece of good and 1 piece of bad news.

First the good news is Rockstar revealed details in regards to the game's arcade mode.
http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/...odes-detailed/


Now for the bad news. Anyone who rents games from RedBox services do not rent the Xbox 360 version since its a 2 disc game and RedBox is only having the first disc be available to rent which only contains the single player campaign. The second disc which contains the multiplayer will not be available to rent.
http://www.giantbomb.com/max-payne-3...ont/35-546392/

Gonna try it out at Redbox first, maybe buy later.

Ugh, why do they always release games on Tuesdays/mid week. Should release them on Fridays, so you have the weekend to play.

That's what we do here, in the UK. Friday releases and you can play them through the weekend.

Why not just call the crew TPWW? http://socialclub.rockstargames.com/crew/TPWW hasn't been taken.

It needs to be 5 characters long. I know, I tried that first.

Maybe TPWWF or TPWWForums or TPWW_Forums or something?

Because the top ten lists of sales comes out on Monday. That would mean that Tuesday is the first day of the selling week. Tuesday is the day that new stuff comes out. It gives them a week of numbers to track the sales.

When I used to work at a blockbuster we would get games and movies on the Friday before. So, we could all watch and play them ahead of time so we knew about the movies to talk to customers about it.

It's also because movies come out on tuesdays as to not conflict with Friday theater released. Games just adopted the tradition.

You actually have the rest of your entire natural life to play them

And someone just spoiled the ending to this game for me....

I hate it when that happens. Was it spoiled by someone online? If so, where? I'll have to avoid that place, if I normally go there.

I still can't believe Gametrailers.com ruined the twist in Bionic Commando in the bloody review!

Yep, by some random taint at xbox360achievements.org. What kills me is that he posted it in an article about BF3.

That's how I had RDR spoiled for me. I was reading the LA Noire thread here and someone randomly said "...such and such happens in RDR". No warnings or anything.

No one ever spoils a sucky games ending. No one ever says "And then *whatever* happens at the end of Vampire Rain*" It's always a game you are wanting to play yourself that people seem to spoil.

*I say Vampire Rain because I saw it had a low score on the 360 dashboard when I was looking through the list of games on XBLA. No idea if it sucks or not.

Vampire Rain is terrible. Worst MP I've seen. The story is also stupidly hard. Vampires kill you in 1 hit and your weapons do shit against them.

Yet no one has ever spoiled the ending. Probably because no one played it, I guess.

Apparently only 8 people have even beaten the campaign. Half of them are Japanese. You do the math.

Sounds like a challenge.

I think you're being a little picky with the RDR 'spoiler'. I was the one that posted it (in spoilers, mind you). At that point, Red Dead had already been out for a year.

There's a limit for how long spoilers have to be hush-hush for, and I think a year is definitely past that.

More importantly, I'm extremely excited to get Max Payne tonight.

I wasn't mad or anything with you. I knew it wasn't done to purposefully spoil it or anything. It just sucked that it was unmarked.

I think a spoiler should be marked a little longer than a year. Not everyone buys a game on release and finishes the story in a few days or weeks.

I've seen a GTA forum where they still mark for spoilers when discussing the ending to San Andreas. That may be a bit much but it has the right idea that some people might not be there yet.

I think spoilers should be marked for 2 or 3 years if they are the games ending or a huge twist. If it's something a little smaller like a unlockable mode, weapon, vehicle or something, yeah, a year seems fine.

Went to a midnight release for this and Diablo 3....out of 100 or so people in line, only 2 got Max Payne. They looked like the felt out of place lol.

Either way, looks like a good game, I'll pick it up when I get off my PC in like 4 months.

Btw, name the social club TPDub

Got it wrong, it's 6 characters.

http://socialclub.rockstargames.com/crew/tpdubya

May as well join even if you're not getting this as it carries over to GTA5.

Is it one crew per player? Or could I join a TPWW crew and then a Dundee crew, then a Zangief crew and so on?

You can be in multiple. I'm in the Destructoid one too.

I joined. Getting Max Pain tommorow.

what is this for anyways?

Cool. I've no plans to be in more than one but I can see TPWW having smaller groups break away from it. I can pretty much guarantee Kalyx will start up one at some stage.

Someone should found a Chuckle Brothers crew.
