Max Payne 3 Scares Me

It's not the fear of it not being noir, but the fear of it not being Max Payne.

I mean they also make him shave his hair aswell so when your playing you feel like your playing Bruce Willis in a Die Hard sequel instead of Max Payne.

They should of given this to Remedy and Rockstar should of focused on Agent.

Why change things people love about a game like Max Payne, have Rockstar became so big headed that they're like "Ah who cares, were Rockstar, people will still buy the game"

I know theres people going "It's just one trailer and a few screenshots".......very true but if Rockstar knew this was a major concern to fans they would of tried their hardest to make the trailer feel and look like a Max Payne game despite the bright, sunny setting....but they never. All they did was put Max Payne 2's theme music in the trailer (No MP3 theme song huh Rockstar), which felt really out of place thanks to the setting and hoped for the best. Even the box art looks funny and out of place. Instead of creating a boxart or promotional shots of a doom and gloom setting they created them with the bright, sunny brazil setting in the background. It's like they're not even trying to please fans.

This looks like an amazing game don't get me wrong but it isn't Max Payne. With the games engine the snowy doom and gloom setting of New York would of been amazing, yet they still felt the need to change the setting. They're also doing the "Max is going to go through a rough patch" theme which they already did in MP2...which is why it's called "The Fall of Max Payne".

What about Mona, the graphic novel cutscenes, the story telling gameplay, the music, the setting and Max narrating the game with his amazing insight...for example "There was a blind spot in my head, a bullet-shaped hole where the answers should be. Call it denial. I wanted to dig inside my skull and scrape out the pain"............what will become of all these things which made Max Payne...Max Payne.

I agree with everything you said.

Coming from a big Max Payne fan this feels like R* is giving me the middle finger and tell me shut and and buy what ever we feed you.

MP3 does not even look anything like previous MP games and more like a 50 cent game. (see attached).

R* should have giving this project to Remedy.

Rockstar IS focusing on Agent. They have a studio developing it, they're called Rockstar North. Max Payne 3 is being developed by Rockstar Vancouver. Two different studios, developing two different games.

But yeah, I see where you're going with that.

Anderson84608d ago

true stories.. i hope they keep the graphic novel cutscenes and max paynes narration.. just wont be the same otherwise..

Solidus187-SCMilk4608d ago

hahaha my favorite was in the first level when max said

"the security panel let out a mocking cackle"

I always laugh at that part.

ATi_Elite4608d ago

Everything Rockstar does is gold, I trust them with Max Payne. Lots of people said Red Dead was going to suck because it wasn't like the first one, and people ended up loving it.

WhiteLightning4608d ago

The first Red Dead was average though

Rockstar saved it

Max Payne was good from the start

Jack_DangerousIy4608d ago (Edited 4608d ago )

Which is even more reason for me to have faith in them. Don't get me wrong, I understand and share your concerns(talking about your first post). Change can be scary, and change can be bad. But change can also be a great thing. See Red Dead.

I'm not saying it will be great. But I have been waiting too long for this game to suddenly stop being pumped.

OT: What's wrong with looking like Bruce Willis? lol

MasterD9194608d ago

Max Payne 3 reminds me of Kane & Lynch now.

Should be set in NYC with Max looking the same.

andron4608d ago

Yeah the first game was great. Had much fun playing that on PC. But the second game was somewhat of a disappointment. Not as strong as the first one neither in story or game play.

So I'm sceptical of MP3 too. At least they gave it some more development time to make it as good as they can, but can it live up to the Max Payne name?

I got 80% trophy completion on Ragnarok but left a few of the battles. Will come back to it one day.

Miraak82 304d ago

Dragon Quest 11 is my top pick

RpgSama303d ago

Dragon Quest XI was such an AMAZING game, I had a blast from the very beginning all the way to the very end, it actually got better the more you played, full of surprises as well.

Another game that I enjoyed from the very beginning all the way to the end of the 100% completion was Yakuza: Like a Dragon. Really, really, really fun game with a great heartfelt story.

badz149304d ago (Edited 304d ago )

Where is Horizon Zero Dawn?? where is Ghost of Tsushima?? I just got my Platinum on HZD and is now trying to finish the Frozen Wild expansion. so much care and love went into that game and it really shows. I especially adore the lore and have sunk many hours listening to the logs and reading journals. the back story is great and the gameplay is awesome. can't wait to replay on the hardest difficulty on NG+. next in my list would be to finish GoTsushima

Tacoboto304d ago

Ghost was fantastic especially after Iki Island and the PS5 upgrade. 100%'d that, Horizon Forbidden West (not ZD), GoW (not yet Ragnarok), Spider-Man, and R&C: Rift Apart.

Each one absolutely worth it.

Aloymetal304d ago (Edited 303d ago )

100% I would like to add to you list RDR2, amazing as well and the perks from getting the Legend Of The East outfit is awesome.
Sekiro as well, have to play twice to get it but it's worth it!

Demetrius304d ago

I agree I'm on my 2nd playthroughs of both horizon forbidden West(zero dawn I played also) ghost of Tsushima except I'm replaying it on PS5 this time, the iki island expansion is amazing

ClayRules2012304d ago

Yeah, GoT was already an AMAZING game on PS4, but playing it on PS5, along with that expansion, just even better.

Elda303d ago

I just started my copy of GOW:R, enjoying it so far.

DefenderOfDoom2303d ago (Edited 303d ago )

Okay the title of article should be top 10 , 3rd person games to complete 100 percent. Nine 3rd person games and 1 racing game on this list .
