i love max payne and cant wait for this game. I keep reading people complain about the way it looks. not sure why the game looks like it will be great.
What is Grigori Rasputin doing in a Max Payne game? I'm usually mad about bald characters (excepted 47 and Kratos) because they often lack of charisma but this time Max Payne looks quite good, even if i miss the good old Max Payne with his "I'm angrily smiling" static face.
Now i know i speak fo everybody here who are fans of the game and so am i, but all i wanna know is that in what in the hell are they doing with Max Payne!? I know we dont live in 2001-2004 anymore and the gameplay might as well change along with the time but...is it really gong to be for the best?
I have the GI book in front of me... while it does resemble Uncharted, Uncharted 2 blows this away. However, I would assume more polish needs to be applied before I can solidify or dismiss that remark.
Looks good but what's with the El Matador style setting? I wish they would've stuck with gritty urban levels like the first two and just moved it across the coast to L.A., Vegas or somewhere similar.
That said the graphics and guns look much better than expected; I just hope the dev team responsible for Bully can handle making a legit action game.
But what would have been the point ? the noir/gritty genre was played to it's best by the first two games . There is only so much noir hommage you could do with it . it would have just been more of the same next gen .
It was time to shake up things , and it's a chance for a new gameplay as well . Besides it's still quite urban enough , while i expect some walks in coca fields , i doubt it will suddenly becomes uncharted and leaves you for long in jungles .
Now think Man on Fire with a tired Willis/Bridges clone instead of Denzel Washington . Or maybe something akin to brazilian movies such as "City of God" , with the favelas and urban crime
In fairness to Rockstar, I can understand the drastic change of appearance and the change of location as well. I mean, Max's life has been pretty buggered up? With 12 years gone by and an addiction to painkillers, his new appearance is completely understandable.
For me, the change in location is even more logical. As I mentioned before, Max had a pretty crappy time in New York. Wouldn't you want to move and get away from all of that? Leave you troubles behind, so to speak?
I think the whole thing makes perfect sense. Max is probably trying to start fresh, start a new life. But, in true Max Payne style, he'll get put in some serious shizz and will undoubtedly end up facing that classic lesson: the past always catched you up, no matter how hard you try to get away from it. I know that 'Noir York' was like a second character in the first two Max Payne games, but the series has to move on. I'll take this particular comment back completely if the game doesn't feel anything like a Max Payne game once we get the chance to play it, but for now I think we should just wait and see.
This has potential; not just as an amazing game, but as an amazing MAX PAYNE game. I'm willing to give Rockstar the benefit of the doubt, for now.
I guess it's a natural progression? I just hope this game is good. Condemned 2's story was crap; Splinter Cell: Conviction, based upon the gameplay trailer, looks way too easy with snap-to aiming and obvious kill points; Let's hope Rockstar does this one right!
BTW, I *am* still holding out on Conviction to see if it fares good in reviews. It's still early in the game cycle, after all. I'm just not liking what I am seeing based on the direction they are taking the game.
Oh man, Max payne = Elvis Presley, i knew it. He already had that king of rock and roll hair cut. Elvis Presley must have been a detective in his free time, but when he got fat and bald because of his pill addiction, he moved to Sao Paolo and faked his death.
The look of Max is somewhat strange, but iam sure it fits to his story. The Pictures looks great. Looks like Improved Resident Evil Graphics:)
Cant wait for this Game!
