Playing it Old School – Max Payne and the birth of Game-Noir

LA Noire was not the first time Rockstar experimented in the film-noir genre. In 2001, Max Payne embraced the concept of film-noir by taking the darkest and grittiest tone of the genre than blending the auteurism of John Woo. Playing it Old School looks at how Max Payne redefined gaming and what the upcoming third installment has to live up too.

I thought the remakes has been in full production for a while now

ElaBosak23d ago

They were making Alan Wake 2

Skuletor23d ago

You mean the game that already released almost 200 days ago now?

ravens5224d ago

Be another Alan Wake 2 situation if not. I hope they're not that pigheaded. Like really, if they're that petty I won't even wait for a physical release.

LucasRuinedChildhood24d ago

They have a different publisher for Max Payne than they did for Alan Wake 2 (Rockstar instead of Epic) so there probably will be a physical release for Max Payne 1&2 at least.

ElaBosak23d ago

Rockstar is publishing. There will be physical release.

Cacabunga24d ago (Edited 24d ago )

No physical support no buy .. do not screw This up

neutralgamer199223d ago

Sure Alan wake 2 still hasn’t recovered development cost

ElaBosak23d ago (Edited 23d ago )

What does that have to do with digital release?

neutralgamer199223d ago

Ela

There are many gamers who will not buy a game if it does not have a physical release, especially for Big blockbusters. So not being on steam and not having a physical release definitely has a lot to do with the fact they have yet to make that development cost back

I myself want to buy it on steam and I will also buy a physical version on PS five or Xbox if it becomes available but I will not spend a single penny on epic Store. I just want one storefront and one game launcher. I have no other reason to hate on epic or any other storefront.

ElaBosak22d ago (Edited 22d ago )

You think the physical games market is big? Have you looked at statistics from publishers between physical vs digital sales? Physical sales are almost irrelevant.

Neither Steam nor especially physical release have anything to do with it. Alan Wake 2 is inherently niche and not mainstream by any means. It would never have gotten a big audience and that's fine. Remedy and Sam Lake got to make the game of their dreams.

neutralgamer199222d ago

I am sorry I disagree completely. Yes physical market isn’t as big as digital but it still accounts for almost 30%. On top of that having the game on steam would have meant a lot more sales. These 2 points are facts and can’t be argued

To lose money again? Do you want them to close?

ElaBosak23d ago

Wdym lose money? How big do you think the physical games market is?

darksky23d ago

Max Payne is a far better franchise than Alan Wake. This should be good.

L.A. Noire And Bully — Rockstar's Lost Gems That Deserve A Sequel As Much As GTA

Hanzala from eXputer: "I do appreciate GTA 6, Rockstar, but if I could trade it for a new L.A. Noire or a Bully game, I'd do so in a heartbeat."

Skuletor49d ago

How are they lost? You can get L.A. Noire on Steam, PS5, Xbox Series and Nintendo Switch and Bully is on the PS5 and Xbox Series too.

Psychonaut8549d ago

I want a new Manhunt game. But that will never happen.

Demetrius48d ago

Mfs are too sensitive nowadays and would cry instead of being concerned bout real world problems

Demetrius48d ago

Whenever gta 6 launch we won't be getting another rockstar title for another 10 years lol but on the positive side they bou to come back n show how open world supposed to be done 🔥

Skuletor48d ago

I won't expect any singleplayer DLC like IV's The Lost & Damned or The Ballad of Gay Tony after it launches either
