Max Payne looks good for a 4 years old? game however, stranglehold character has better facial animations than Max Payne.

TnS6486d ago

Do you mean 4 years old? :)

TriggerHappy6486d ago

Yeah for a 4 year old game, the lighting looks amazing compared to Stranglehold or maybe bad shots ?

MK_Red6486d ago

I actually think Stranglehold has better lighting according to these pictures, specially the first one.
It has both of them shooting but Stranglehold's light has affected not only the character but the envirement and also, check out the window with superb volumetric lighting in right side of screen.

The Max Payne 2 screenshots are from the PC version. The PC version looked 10x better than the xbox/ps2 versions of the day. Not to mention those Max Payne screenshots could be running at a resolution of 1600*1200 whereas Stranglehold is only running at 1280*768.

Neither console is truly next gen this time around. Yes the visuals are a little better, but BOTH consoles are starved for RAM. 768megs-1gig of system ram should have been the bare minimum this time around for consoles.

Superb find. Max Payne was a superb looking game and is still beautiful after all this time.

It's kinda funny. Max Payne copying John Woo movie Hard Boiled and Hard Boiled movie sequel in form of the game Strangehold copying Max Payne.

kewlkat0076486d ago

but I'm just saying Max Payne looked tight back in the Day, I mean look at it compared to Next-Gen 3-D graphics...

Now these are two games you can compare all day...

Isn't the Max Payne developers working on Alan Wake game?

BloodySinner6477d ago

Keep in mind, Midway made this game (Stranglehold). No one should expect anything ground braking from this company.

kn6486d ago

Then compare... They don't even come close in person. MP2 was a great game and pushed the PS2, but the current version (the demo) plays much smoother and has a lot of things that aren't apparent in these shots.

HeavyweightInTheGame6486d ago

I don't really care about the graphics. Max Payne will always be the best of this style of gameplay. Sucks the third got canned.

Actually great list TBH I agree with all 10

I hope one day we get some remakes for the following

The saboteur(with a proper remake and quality of life features this game could be great)
Scarface world is yours
Binary domain ( such a great game with great story)
GUN(this needs a remake)
Space marine 40k(such fun time)

Would also like to suggest adding the mercenary series even the 2nd game which is disliked by many is a fun time

I recently finished Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine and found it to be very enjoyable.

The game respected the lore and the gameplay was quite decent.

The color palette was a bit underwhelming (backdrops and setting) and recycled but I think that it deserved better.

Here's hoping for an amazing sequel

Space Marine II !! My most anticipated game of 2023! Woot

Owlbert876d ago

Did you play RoboCop Vs terminator... pretty sure it was on the mega drive) genisis.

HeliosHex876d ago

Definite lack of Doves in games this gen.

TGG_overlord2016d ago

True that...Good thing that I still got the whole "Max Payne" series in my game collection.

TGG_overlord2016d ago

With no doubt, so this release sure made my day.

isarai2016d ago

Hmm, the thought of playing this through HDMI on my 4K TV through my rig sounds worth another playthrough of this gem. Especially at $10.

TGG_overlord2016d ago

I don't have a 4K tv or monitor I'm afraid :S But I'm going to pick up the game anyways ;)
