Games of the Generation: Max Payne 3

Join PSU as we contanue to showcase the best games this generation

This article may contain spoilers.

In July 2001, Remedy Entertainment and Rockstar Games released Max Payne, a third-person action game. Max Payne set itself apart from other action games by introducing the first successful use of "bullet time" in a video game, and drew serious consumer attention with its noir-like presentation and monologues.

Easily one of the best campaigns this gen for me.

yaz2883926d ago

shooting people feel real, that's why I think its easily one of the best shooter this gen.

No_Limit3926d ago (Edited 3926d ago )

A very underrated game IMO. Love the single player campaign. The good thing is this game is like dirt cheap now so everyone should check it out if they haven't already.

MadLad3926d ago

Just an all around stellar game.
Only real issue I had with the game was the cheese of shooting missiles/grenades mid-air.

SideShort3926d ago

Ahah Agreed. Glad that was really as over the top as it got.

One of my favorite third-person campaigns ever. I'd expect nothing less from Rockstar.

Ex-Rockstar Dev Finally Explains Why Small Planes Randomly Crashed in GTA San Andreas

Former Rockstar Games Technical Director Obbe Vermeij has finally revealed why some planes would randomly crash in GTA: San Andreas.

This fly by feature was on the cutting room floor due to the random plane crashes and it's one of those things I'm so thankful made it into the final version as these random fly by and crashes make the world seem more alive on the extremely limited PS2 hardware you needed everything you could possibly get in a open world to convey that feeling.

And accross hundreds of hours of gameplay I probably died around 3 times as a result of these fly by failures but I loved every time it happened

It made the world feel more human, and honestly kinda insane that even today with all these open world games, almost no one can capture that like R* even when compared to their ps2 games

Lol, I remember those. I vaguely remember dying from one crashing into my car once too.

Will never forget these games on the PS2 and Xbox. Max Payne 3 was awesome, more so the arcade mode.

Abnor_Mal130d ago

Can’t wait to replay these games with updated graphics.

Would also like a remastered Max Payne3.

Knightofelemia130d ago

Hope it's done better then the GTA trilogy.

EazyC130d ago

Indeed - and if it is another shameless cash grab, they shouldn't bother. It's an insult to these classic games.
