Ben Chapman voices concerns about the upcoming Max Payne 3, and how Rockstar seem to be handling the game's noir-inspired story all the wrong way:
"The lone, grizzled badass endures dramatic circumstances to save a loved one or rescue a family member. Things go poorly, as noir stories often do, and they recede into a haze of alcohol and painful, longing stares out windows as rain streaks across the face. This is Noir 101. My question is, when was the last time you cared about a character like that?"
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.
Ahmed from eXputer writes "Video game leaks have become a major cause of concern for Triple-A studios, as they're becoming increasingly malicious and dangerous."
Max Payne PS5 remakes are coming for the first two games from Remedy Entertainment, and we hope this Rockstar Games easter egg is kept in.
Will never forget these games on the PS2 and Xbox. Max Payne 3 was awesome, more so the arcade mode.
Can’t wait to replay these games with updated graphics.
Would also like a remastered Max Payne3.
Indeed - and if it is another shameless cash grab, they shouldn't bother. It's an insult to these classic games.
Yup....nothing wrong with admitting it, your just a concerned fan in my eyes. It looks like it will be good but I can't say that it will be a good Max Payne game
For starters I'm getting pretty sick of people saying "It's Rockstar theres nothing to worry about" or "Rockstar never dissapoint, as true as that may be this isn't their franchise, they havent done a game like Max Payne the franchise is no GTA, Rockstar didn't create the Noire atmosphere in Max Payne and MP2, they didn't create the gameplay like "bullet time", they didn't help shape Max Payne as a character. So to say "Oh Rockstar can't do no wrong" think about it...when they take a franchise which isn't theirs and don't know much about creating that theme which Remedy made in MP how can you say it's going to be good. I think this is why in my opinion even though the game will be good we'll have another GTA4 on our hands..."Yeah it was amazing, the best one ever" <Perfect Scores>, then 8-10 months later, "Oh it wasn't that good Rockstar kind of ruined Max Payne a bit, they made it too differen't"...you get the point.
the game is going in the wrong direction in my opinion.from the trailers the gritty/ noir aspects are gone and replaced with some tropical setting.they just turned payne into some bald headed drunk/die hard type of character.
what do the gamers want? will there be the same question if CoD goes a different way. I mean, for me the new Max Payne looks great.
The original Max Payne was amazing; It did things that no one else was really doing at that time - The odd drug scenes and even bullet time, it was actually a great game.
I was under the impression everyone lost interest by Max Payne 2, so I'm not even sure where they're going with this one..
Not speaking of this game but it seems like EVERY game is heading in the wrong direction according to mainstream media/sheeple.
Everybody just wants to bitch about something.
