With Remedy and Rockstar announcing they're remaking the first two Max Payne games, what better time to start ranking the series?
Following the remake announcement of the Max Payne remakes, the internet exploded with ideas of what it could look like.
Just look at Alan Wake 2, it quite literally has the exact same character. This model in This article looks nothing like any rendition of max
I don’t think about what he’s going to look like so much as I wonder as to what he’ll sound like after James Mcaffery passed away suddenly last year. He was the voice of Max Payne and it’s hard for me to imagine Max voiced by anyone else.
Why would they need new voice-overs? I imagine the lines will be the same. It's story is part of the appeal and the delivery of the dialogue, especially during the comic scenes is iconic to me. They may have had the idea to add more lines, but I think the path is clear with him gone now.
It’s a remake. Not a remaster and it combines both games. I’d be willing to bet $100 a lot changes.
Remedy and Rockstar are rolling out the red carpet for the Max Payne remakes on PS5 and Xbox, with similar development costs to Alan Wake 2.
What made Max Payne an amazing experience?
These lot don't even check the grammar 🤣😂 can't even get a article headline correct.
Still weird to me that out of all the games with bullet time and slow motion, Max Payne 1 and 2 are the ONLY ones that render each individual bullet, which IMO really elevates the bullet time effect 👌
Holy cow, couldn’t watch more then a minute with buddy having the mouse sensitivity set to 100 lol

Easy.
For me it goes
3
1
2
I wasn't a purist that believes Rockstar killed off its noire vibe and they were a big bad studio taking over rares IP.
I actually really loved the story 3 told it's gunplay felt impactful and it did a fantastic job moving the IP into a modern standard
2-1-3 for me.
First one was revolutionary but was plagued by bad touchy controls on consoles, poor PS2 port and performance, Xbox version looked great though. Ending didn't do much for me, felt a bit empty.
Second one was better for PS2 and Xbox ports engine really showed its age even in 2004 but I like the tone of the story this time somehow.
Third one have flashier presentation yet very realistic and very challenging game looked amazing on PS3 but framerate are all over the place during gun fights I don't like how some chapters dragged on too long exhausting would be the word just too much gunfights even for action shooter like Max Payne felt like I needed a week off after I finished the game.
2>1>3
Brillant games though, really cant wait for the remakes of 1&2!!
