Max Payne Remakes Aiming For "Excellent" Quality, Says Remedy

Remedy has outlined its major goals for the Max Payne remakes, stating that it intends to capture commercial and critical success.

[Cacabunga]

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

[HansyJ]

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

[Cacabunga]

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

[The_Blue]

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

[SoloZelot90]

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

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.

[RaidenBlack]

True true

[CrimsonWing69]

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

[Gamingsince1981]

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

[DodoDojo]

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

[CrimsonWing69]

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.

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

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.

[Profchaos]

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

[VersusDMC]

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.

[swedishMeatwad]

Wow, breaking news! Developer aiming for excellent quality!

[SoloZelot90]

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

[1nsomniac]

Latest evidence over the past several years would all indicate that they likely won’t achieve that.

[1nsomniac]

…sorry I was talking from a Rockstar perspective, not Remedy, I think Remedy’s work is top class.

[isarai]

Can you imagine Max Payne with Control's level of destruction 😩

[chicken_in_the_corn]

Hopefully it won't be delayed before releasing broken, undercooked or both like so many games now.

[cammers1995]

Nobody cares, remake Bully.

[127maXimus]

As opposed to dogshit quality?

[gamerz]

It's like a zombie game for Remedy trying to keep the blue haired degenerates away from their devs.

[Becuzisaid]

I've always been confused about Max Payne 3. Is it in the same canon as 1 and 2? It just seems completely different. I know different developers.

My body is ready
