5 days ago PS trophies record holder, recieved his super early access to the game he is only allowed to show the application picture and only publishing reviews at 1st of Nov. This game is ready since a month, approximately, but for some reason it's on hold.

I did find it odd that the game was given to reviewers so early. I can't remember a game going to reviewers nearly 3 weeks before release. I think Kojima had this game planned for a long time, but Konami had him on MGS lock-down for decades. Hopefully this will be his magnum opus.

It does make me wonder about P.T actually, and how much of this game was supposed to be in P.T. hmmm... 🤔

LostinthePANIC1441d ago

Maybe it's because Kojima wants people to take as much time as they need to get the full experience of the game. A lot of reviewers are rushed to get through games to have the review done in time, but this gives them time to play the game at a respectable rate and really take in the game and the story.

Honestly, I have no idea, just my take on it knowing the type of person Kojima seems to be.

Good on them doing this at least.

“we’re offering a severance package that includes six months base pay and in the US/Canada/Brazil six months of Epic-paid healthcare. We’re offering to accelerate people’s stock option vesting schedule through the end of 2024 and are giving two additional years from today to exercise the options. In the US we’re also offering to vest any unearned profit sharing from their 401k. And we’ll provide benefits including career transition services and visa support where we can.”

Knightofelemia4d ago

I wonder how much of a bonus the CEO will get after this decision?

BISHOP-BRASIL3d ago

Would be "too much" for us, but probably it's "not enough" for the greedy bastard...

INMATEofARKHAM4d ago

Epic makes way too much money to have to lay people off of the spent that money smartly. Tim wasted money on exclusives for their store when it could have gone to paychecks for people.

Mikeyy4d ago

Epic put all their eggs in one basket with fortnite, they should have continued with the development of unreal tournament and got that game going as an arena shooter that's free to play with a huge cosmetic cash shop.

But your CEO knows what their doing.... laying off people so the board doesn't see exactly how much you stuck. The usual playbook.

Currently my most anticipated Remake project

senorfartcushion5d ago

Max Payne 3 is my 2nd favourite game ever. I cannot wait for these remakes.

RedDeadLB4d ago

They aren't remaking 3 though. Only 1 & 2.

senorfartcushion4d ago

I know.

It's the style of gameplay that I like due to how much I played MP1 and mostly 3.

RaidenBlack4d ago (Edited 4d ago )

Max Payne 3 is very underrated.
I've been planning to do a second run of the game for quite a while ...
The multiplayer part was also infamous for being surprisingly really good, but was overlooked by many
Would love a remake of that as well but by R* themselves using their own RAGE engine, to have a nice contrast against Remedy's Northlight engine project. :)

roadkillers4d ago

What other confirmed remake project excluding Final Fantasy exists?

RaidenBlack4d ago

KOTOR
Gothic
Silent Hill 2
MGS3
Persona 3

I just hope they don't end up digital-only like Alan Wake 2.

-Foxtrot5d ago

I adore these games, they ooze atmosphere. I hope they are fantastic.

I wish Remedy would have done Max Payne 3, Rockstar had some amazing gun play in them but the story was just not as good. It's like they were working on a new IP and slapped Max Payne onto it, only the flashback levels felt like Max Payne. Also they went of the ending where Mona died which sucked.

I wouldn't mind if one day they did their own Max Payne 3

Dagexon5d ago

I liked the story tbh. I mean the main plot did feel very disconnected from 1 and 2 but I really liked Max's character development tbh

-Foxtrot4d ago

His development felt like it did a 180 from what was shown in Max Payne 2

isarai5d ago

I wanna see them so bad, but it'll probably be years

ApocalypseShadow5d ago

OG Max Payne redone in the best way possible would be awesome and an easy purchase. Hope they get it right.
