Max Payne 3 once had a co-op prologue story for two players

From USA Today: "Rockstar’s Max Payne 3 launched in 2012, taking Remedy Games’ iconic anti-hero, shaving his head, and kicking him through Brazil in a floral shirt. Nine months after launch, Dead Men Walking arrived – a DLC wave defense mode where you and a friend fought off hordes of AI enemies. But there were originally much bigger plans for two players.

Max Payne 3 was supposed to have a co-op prologue campaign. Taking control of Max and one of his old cop partners from New York, the co-op campaign saw two players shooting and bullet-time diving their way through modified versions of the single-player maps, including New York alleys, the graveyard, the Panama canal, and more.

“The London studio worked on it for about a year before the whole co-op campaign mode was dropped,” a source familiar with the project tells GLHF. “Focus moved over to the multiplayer modes including Gang Wars. Some of the maps ended up in the single-player campaign."

And ...once had more grimace face than every tacobell bathroom combined.

Miss them old Max Payne facial expressions lol.

Amplitude758d ago

There's a mod to add it to 3 if you really want ahaha

MP3 was one of the best TPS I played at the time.
Crispiest shooting mechanic. Felt like playing an FPS with TPS camera. Weird.

It was so fluid and man the controls were amazing.

CrimsonIdol758d ago

Everyone's least favourite Max Payne entry from 10 years ago once had plans to have a co-op prologue DLC. What a scoop!

GenWorld758d ago

Its my favorite one, and one of the best 3rd person shooters.

pietro1212758d ago

One of the best 3rd person shooters I’ve ever played, it actually had impressive A.I too

porkChop758d ago

It's the best game in the series. The gameplay is leagues above the first two games, and the writing is as flawless as ever. The thing some people didn't like was that it mostly took place in Brazil and in the daytime. But it's still the better game.

pietro1212758d ago

The only thing missing for me as the graphic novel sequences to tell the story, but I like how MP3 was handled. It reminded on Man on Fire with Denzel Washington

RedDevils758d ago

And here I am replay the first 2 more than I care about 3.

May have played better ( not saying much considering the original came out on the OG Xbox ) but it was "Max Payne" in name only. Disregarding that it's basically not canon anyway since it wasn't written by Sam Lake, Max Payne at it's core was a dark, gritty story about a detective trying to come to grips with grief, feelings of inadequacy and trying to stay sane while seeking revenge. Those original games actually hit people on an emotional level. Those are some reasons why people remember those games and won't when it comes to 3. 3 stripped all of that away and basically turned it into a GTA story. A pure moneygrab by Rockstar and it showed.

Doesn’t matter if Sam Lake wrote it or not. Rockstar decides what canon or not. Just like Square and Final Fantasy (with Sakaguchi’s involvement). Personally I thought Houser wrote a very good Max Payne game.

I mean it wasn’t as noire in story as the others but it was dark and still appropriate to Max. A pretty amazing campaign too. The multi wasn’t even bad either, it had me hooked for a bit.

MadLad758d ago

Max Payne 3 is one of my favorite 3rd person shooters of all time.

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

Miraak82 300d ago

Dragon Quest 11 is my top pick

RpgSama300d 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.

badz149300d ago (Edited 300d 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

Tacoboto300d 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.

Aloymetal300d ago (Edited 300d 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!

Demetrius300d 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

ClayRules2012300d ago

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

Elda300d ago

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

DefenderOfDoom2300d ago (Edited 300d 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 .
