Max Payne PS2 vs PS4 Graphics Comparison

"Today, more than fifteen years since the premiere, we're receiving Max Payne once more, this time as emulated PS2 game running on the PlayStation 4.
Check how the game graphics got improved."

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.

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-AK]

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.

[kevnb]

May Payne is much better than quantum break.

[343_Guilty_Spark]

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.

[Ristul]

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.

[Ingram]

haha...!
no.

[DARK WITNESS]

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-_]

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.

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

[USMC_POLICE]

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.

@picnic how dare you compare quantum break to the original max payne

[C-H-E-F]

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

[FPS_D3TH]

Dumbest gaming logic around

[C-H-E-F]

@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_D3TH]

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-F]

@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.

[Picnic]

Just ask yourself why now is a 15 year old game being re-released? Of course it's because Remedy's in the news because of Quantum Break. I don't dispute that Max Payne elements are in Quantum Break, of course I don't- that's the whole crux of why I said it. Some PS4 owners would like to be playing Quantum Break but they can't so they've re-released a 15 year old game for PS4 owners to play. Don't pretend it's a coincidence.

[nevin1]

15 years old and the regular price of these games are $15?

[trouble_bubble]

It's on sale for $6

[_-EDMIX-_]

? Rockstar owns Max Payne's IP...not Remedy.......

[Picnic]

Well, read again because I never said that it was Remedy who decided to re-release Max Payne! Your '?' suggests that I'd implied that they had. I just said that it's because Remedy's in the news. When I said 'they've rereleased' I didn't specify who they was. So thanks for filling in the blank that it's Rockstar, I accept I was vague in that matter, but you haven't contradicted what I originally said.

[_-EDMIX-_]

buddy...I don't think anyone understands the dribble you posted.

[FlameWater]

4:3 aspect ratio....wow just wow, goodnight everybody

[nevin1]

Is that for all PS2 games on PS4?
