Max Payne 3 is Rockstar's Secret Project?

Brutal Gamer writes:

As I am sure many of you are aware by now, Rockstar recently teased us all in the latest issue of the Official Playstation Magazine. Rockstar stated that they are working on a "cool" new project based on a license so could this cool new game be Max Payne 3 - a game renowned for its icy setting?

Enough speculation, lets look at some facts.

[DavidMacDougall]

Would be nice but i dont think im that lucky

[Caxtus750]

Yeah I am a huge fan. I am dying for a new title in the series!

[games4fun]

if they'll be anymore bullet-time?

[DavidMacDougall]

Max Payne no bullet time ? If that ever happened the next final fantasy game would be a FPS

[games4fun]

come up with something to top bullet time because after bullet-time was implemented every game under the sun had bullet-time for like a year in fact i remember a gba game having bullet time and slow mo lol

[DavidMacDougall]

They better not add team-play and online mode and it better be rated 18 with the physics engine of gta4 in it cant remember its name?

[games4fun]

the engine you are trying to think of is the Euphoria engine, its pretty good but if a devoloper really works a little harder on the animations it can look better than the Euphoria engine.(uncharted, killzone2)

i'm pretty sure they are going to add online (they could make a cool one imo) just because everyone seems to be doing it, i hope its rated M too.

they will probably add a cover system too.

What is rockstar's ps3 exclusive game? Aren't we supposed to get 2 or something? Is it max payne? And aren't they supposed to be working on alan wake? The max payne people I mean.

[Caxtus750]

Well although Remedy did develop the first 2, I believe they sold the rights to Take-Two. Officially they now own the rights so technically they could change the developer.

Besides, something must be keeping Remedy busy because Alan Wake has vanished!

[crimsonfox]

i hope it's good...

i liked the first two i didnt like loading screens though

[Cartesian3D]

I love both max payne games.. I love the physics in MP2 .. the story in the first one..

gameplay was really fun and attracting .. but this time I want a longer single player with new gameplay features (like sandbox missions,customize weapons,more boss battles,puzzles.. etc)

[badz149]

you've mixed things up too much over there between Max Payne and GTA! if something will go just like what you wish, it will be GTA: starring Max Payne and I'm sure not many gamers want that to happen!

[HeavyweightInTheGame]

would be nice.

[incogneato]

i hope not

[elitewh0re]

hot digity dafodil, that would be good news if it turned out true.

[Skynetone]

attack helicopter / tank / sim would be nice

road rash style game / or a new alien game

im sure rockstar could make a fishing game good

[Viktor E]

The Max Payne series will need the Blu Ray Space and CELL Processor to perfect the Bullet Time in Crisp 1080p Visuals,it's no wonder Rockstar will make the Series Exclusive to the Playstation 3

[DavidMacDougall]

Your cliffyB aint you he always used to post about 8 times before anyone could answer always wondered how you had so many bubbles

[Viktor E]

Is still to be decided upon

[Viktor E]

Rockstar Games are sure to want to achieve their GTA 4 Vision,I believe Max Payne 3 will be the game they use to show their Development Skills to the World

[Arsenic13]

Max Payne and GTA's Euphoria engine are a match made. Im miss the dreary noir settings.

[The Almighty PS3rd]

hahahahahh What a moronic last place PS3rd Droid. OMG its unbelievable.

PS3 is an utter faliure. hahahhahahahahhahaa I love delusional PS3rd droids. You guys will be in last place until the next Xbox releases. Xbox has domniated this whole generation.

Get over it PS3rd fanboys.

Just like Max Payne will be better on Xbox 360.

hahahhaha The Almighty PS3rd FTW!!! I'm still the king!!!

[Viktor E]

The level of Detail on the Bullets will be in Crisp Hi Resolution Textures,a trademark of Playstation 3 Games.

Will Rockstar announce this new Playstation 3 Exclusive at Leipzig?This is the remaining question

[Exorgasm]

Disc format has nothing to do with colors and we all know ps3 doesn't do textures extremely well either so just stop spouting out ridiculous buzz words and pr catchphrases to try and cheer your team on. It makes you and everyone who agrees with you look like an idiot.

And before you call me an xbot for being critical of the ps3s textures just play any game side by side on both consoles and you'll see the ps3 blurs out the textures quite a lot. I think it has something to do with using AF or however it filters instead of AA but that's just a guess. The draw distance is always way better but up close nothing looks like it was meant to.

[demolitionX]

There is SOMETHING called texture streaming "HELLO", which is only possible on PS3 (storage power of BLU-ray combined with all mighty CELL)

[Exorgasm]

Hopefully they'll push this out and a bully sequel in the next year.

[xhi4]

has everyone forgot Rockstar's last financial listings?

they put Max Payne 3 as under development. And then there was discussions about a clash between the movie and the game.

or has everyone forgotten?

[Caxtus750]

I have forgotten, have you got a link to a source?

It wasn't the link I included in the article was it? The PDF to the board of investors?

Thanks for the info :)

[ElementX]

Was MP2 any good? I never played that one but loved the first.

[Aclay]

Yeah, Max Payne 2 was very good and was WAY better than the first to me.

In Max Payne 2 you got to play as Ramona (the girl Max is in love with) during certain parts of the game.

Max Payne 2 had a lot of framerate issues though...but it was still a very good game to me.

*Spolier*

If I remember correctly, I think that Ramona died during the end of the game too

[King_many_layers]

What.. I never even finsihed the second one, I couldn't get used to how different they made the controls on it ( PS2 ) and how they changed his look, nowhere near the same as the first game. Just didn't like it at all really..

also, doesn't he get shot in the head and live ??

Max Payne one was a masterpiece, 2 was pants. ( opinion )

[Overr8ed]

hmm. i wouldnt take it, how about a new ip

[Skadoosh]

I love these type of games. Anybody out there like Stranglehold?

[poeo]

i liked the demo :)

[DA_SHREDDER]

Does it have to be Max Payne? Goddamn it. You cant come up with anything else Take2? I got enough shooters coming this year till next summer to last me till 2010. I dont need this crap!

[ElementX]

...

[DFresh]

I thought it was L.A Noire it's made by Rockstar also and that's PS3 Exclusive and it comes out in 2009.
Perhaps this is another secret project Rockstar is doing on top of L.A Noire.

[Meresin]

I'd be really glad to see a Max Payne 3.

[DA_SHREDDER]

I dont think I can stomach another Max Payne game,, I cant believe they are making a movie out of it either. There is something wrong with the world today, doesn't makes sense to me.

[juuken]

I liked the first Max Payne game. Never did play the second one though.

[Mr_cheese]

highly doubt it. This was posted over 100 days ago about max payne 3

http://www.dbtechno.com/gam...

When they say new, I think the truly mean new.

[Picnic]

Brutalgamer say: 'In May of this year Take-Two Interactive were keen to emphasize that the Payne franchise was in their portfolio and that the series has sold over 7 million copies to date. Not bad for a series consisting of only two titles and a Gameboy release all back in 2003. Now what game that has sold over 7 million copies does not get a sequel?'

Yes, but that's 7 million sales spread over 3 titles, not one 'game' (and, of course, it is the fortunes of the last game that matter most when deciding whether to make another game)- the sales of Max Payne 2 were regarded as relatively disappointing, given the calibre of the game.

After the great funhouse level of Max Payne 2 I'd love to see Max Payne 3 set around an entire theme park controlled by his enemies.

[Caxtus750]

I said spread over 3 titles (kinda), and considering #2 didn't sell well we have to assume 6million titles were between Max Payne 1 and Game boy version.

They will likely try one more attempt, 6 million copies after all, and if it fails then I think Max Payne will finally be laid to rest.

As I mentioned in the article...look at Beyond good and Evil...

[YogiBear]

Max Payne= Amazing game.
Max Payne 2= almost amazing(no autosave on ps2)

[jinn]

definitely not secret nor fun

[ShAkKa]

i love max payne 1 and 2.

[zonetrooper5]

How about they only make it on the PC which will have superiour graphics, physics, sound, controls and much more than what the PS3 or 360 could ever create, enjoy your inferior consoles sonyfriends and xbots.
