Just bought this on sale yesterday. Good port from start to finish with no crashes. Only complaints are sometimes the framerate gets choppy and it's not full screen & yes there's no option to switch, its 4:3 the whole game. Loading could have been faster to.

Picnic3295d ago

The first Max Payne is such an old game that, if it's not a full remaster, then it's a cash in for PS4 owning Remedy fans who have Quantum Break in their head.

Skate-AK3295d ago

That is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard. Max Payne is a classic. Would be no Quantum Break if it wasn't for Max Payne. Where do you think they got the time idea from? From the old Bullet Time mechanic.

kevnb3295d ago

May Payne is much better than quantum break.

If you start typing Quantum Break in on Google, one of the first predictive selections is "Quantum Break PS4". They can say whatever they want but they want the game really bad.

Ristul3295d ago

Yeah, on ps4 it would have actually sold, you just proved what we all know - most Xbox fans don't support these types of games. QB sold worse then The Order in the UK, and the drop is huge, now down to number 9.

DARK WITNESS3295d ago

Max Payne is exactly the kind of game should get a complete remake. now when I say remake, they simply need to build the same game in something like the R* rage engine for this generation of consoles.

don't change anything about the story, music, level design etc.... just reboot the graphics and animation thats it.

it would put so many games to shame this gen when you look at how little they offer these days.

_-EDMIX-_3294d ago

I agree that they should keep the story, music etc the same, but they would still need to fix some of the level design to bring the game up to date. I'm pretty sure if Remedy could do it over again, they might not do the same level design.

"it would put so many games to shame this gen when you look at how little they offer these days." not sure I really agree with that either, I love Max Payne as that is one of my top favorite series of all time, but I don't think in terms of design they can put any of the new titles released now days to "shame" as by default it had lessor in soooooo many areas.

You could like the games, sure....but you can't just ignore it was made in a different time with different features. I can't say it was putting anything right now to "shame" lol. I feel that is a bit of an exaggeration.

trouble_bubble3295d ago

Rockstar owns Max Payne not Remedy. Try again. Rockstar had spearheaded the whole ps2 on ps4 thing with multiple upgraded releases

USMC_POLICE3295d ago

I'm sorry but I got QB on XB1 and was not that impressed, the story was a cool idea, the gunplay was average at best. The choices you made had no real impact and the tv show was meh. The graphics were amazing but your better off picking up tomb rader or holding off for uncharted.

ehh, looks better but no platinum means looks horrible for my collection...

FPS_D3TH3295d ago

Dumbest gaming logic around

C-H-E-F3293d ago (Edited 3293d ago )

@D3th

So because I already own the game in my collection... And plan on opting out of it because he doesn't add any value to me what so ever is a dumb logic? you spelling your name like that is dumb logic... lOl

FPS_D3TH3285d ago (Edited 3285d ago )

Lol you don't state you own the game and there has been many cases in the past where people don't buy a game because it won't feature trophies. If you're interested and think you'd enjoy it, buy and play it. Not buying it because it doesn't have some unrelated reward system is sadly some of the dumbest logic around. Btw Chef spelt with a bunch of hyphens in between is just as dumb as me putting numbers in a gamertag I've used for a decade now. Funny when nobody has much of an arguement that's what they fall to next. Solid sign of a weak arguement.

C-H-E-F3282d ago (Edited 3282d ago )

@D3TH

I've been C-H-E-F since PS2 Online launch day, I put Hyphens in my name because ignorant people call me CHIEF all the time and I thought hmm, maybe if I spell it out letter by letter ignorant people that spell "arguement" with an 'E' would realize that argument doesn't contain an 'E' and neither does chef contain an I.

However, why do i have to justify me not buying it. I've had it on ps2 great game... buying it again will be of no value to me the only thing that will add value to it is adding a trophy system to it with a 'platinum' trophy'. You just mad cause you're an ignorant guy that whines and cries because people care for things you don't. lOl...

Also, because someone doesn't agree with you doesn't mean their logic is dumb, simply stating that without having all knowledge of ones logic makes you the epitome of the def. of ignorance. All you had to do was ask me, hey chef, how do you spell argument and also you could've said hey chef, why does not having a platinum make the game horrible for your collection from there I would've elaborated. I didn't see the point in adding reason to why it was bad for my collection but perhaps i should've because well, ignorance is all online nowadays. lOl good day sir.

Play Max Payne on PC if you want the best experience. It was one of the first mature games I played during my high school years and it's script is one of the reasons I love writing. The gameplay still is amazing even if the graphics, when compared to modern games, needs work. Max Payne 2 still is the creme de la creme of that Remedy has to offer in my opinion.

I hope it will deliver.. we deserve a good Max Payne remake

HansyJ163d ago

We deserve nothing, but the legacy of Max pain deserves it

Cacabunga162d ago

Max Payne fans deserve a good remake. Maybe that is more clear

The_Blue162d ago

' but the legacy of Max pain deserves it"
The Max Payne legacy deserves it.

SoloZelot90162d ago

Okay...so something digital deserves it but something real doesn't?

DarXyde162d ago

I'm not much of a Remedy gamer beyond Alan Wake, but I can't say I've ever heard anyone complain about the quality of the product, whether we like the game or not.

CrimsonWing69163d ago

Um, I’d think that should go without saying… but glad they’re committed to making the quality excellent as opposed to, uh, not.

Gamingsince1981163d ago

Yeah it's kinda weird for them to say that and redundant.

DodoDojo162d ago

Its because they know that they lost trust with the GTA trilogy.

CrimsonWing69162d ago (Edited 162d ago )

I don’t think Remedy had anything to do with that. I get you’re referring to a publisher, but you wouldn’t think a developer would be reassuring people about their game when a different developer made a game that dropped the ball that’s under the same publishing umbrella.

Like, why would From Soft have to assure us that they’re game will be be striving for excellence if Namco Bandai is publishing and they’re referring to something like Unknown 9: Awakening?

This is just a weird statement no matter how you spin it, but also good to know.

jambola163d ago

oh.......thanks
"update, won't suck we hope" lol

VersusDMC163d ago

Well rockstar is paying the bills so they have to project confidence so it isn't cancelled.

What I'm wondering is who is going to voice Max since the og actor died or they are using the old VO like MGS3Remake.

Profchaos163d ago

Rockstar has always had a great relationship with remedy this isn't some new fly by night partnership they have worked together for 20 plus years now

VersusDMC163d ago

Max payne 2 was the last time they worked with rockstar in 2003. And it bombed.

Rockstar asked remedy to check out Max Payne 3 for notes but were not really involved.

So having worked on a project 20 years ago doesn't mean they have been working together for 20 plus years.

swedishMeatwad163d ago

Wow, breaking news! Developer aiming for excellent quality!

SoloZelot90162d ago

Considering some new releases that's good to hear. It is better than aiming for diversity and inclusion.

Demetrius180d ago (Edited 179d ago )

Playing max payne 2 on ps2 for the first time, lol this series definitely needs a remake. The gameplay is rough😅 still a good game tho I hope they keep that gritty feel to it.

RaidenBlack179d ago

My most anticipated remake(s)

isarai179d ago

Cant wait to see how this turns out. Max payne with Control's level of physics and destruction would be amazing. AND IT BETTER HAVE A PHYSICAL RELEASE
