Max Payne 3 - Your Thoughts?

[MattXR]

Well for me, it looks like Max Payne will never be the same again!

He has moved over to Rock Star Games, and the screenshots look nothing like Max Payne and looks like its set in South America or something!!!

To me Max Payne was about the Gritty Story Line, The Style of Game Play and if they cant get that then to me thats a franchise ruined..

I was really hoping for a new Max Payne for a long time and now seeing this i dont think i will get it, Although i like the Read Dead Redemption engine, i dont think it can live up to the max payne we know.

What are your thoughts?

Rockstar! It'll be 100 times better imho...

I thought this game was cancelled?

I remember buying the first one just to support a local company.
Luckily it was also a fantastic game... not gonna be bothered with third one 'cos it's sold abroad..

I'm looking more closely to Deus Ex 3

You're looking at some very old screenshots and a page that hasn't been updated since the announcement a year ago.
After the reception the announcement received, they probably pushed the release date back so that they could change things. Notice it hasn't been shown at E3 (as far as I know).
It's not even made by the same people. Maybe we'll get Alan Wake on the PC sometime, I'm sure that's closer to Max Payne as far as storytelling goes since it's made by Remedy and they have the same writer, Sam Lake, on the team.

Sami Järvi (Sam Lake) was the one also who gave his face to Max Payne.

Loved the first two never played anything like it the cutscenes and story were truly brilliant and emotional, i have my reservations about M.p3 but hopfully it'll do the same trick.

You mean so they could start all over?

I'm more expecting the series to pull a GR/R6 (revamp but make it worse) or Conviction (revamp and make it great). All in all, it'll either be awesome, or suck horribly.

Based on what we've seen so far, I'm not hopeful in the slightest.
