Here's Exactly What Max Payne 3 Looks Like

Rockstar is  doing a hell of a job unselling the game for me. This looks like some Kane and Lynch/Uncharted/ abomination now.

I am wanting to know only one thing; Where is Max Payne? That game that was perpetually set at night? That game which was inspired by film noir? All I am seeing is Uncharted Redux. I am not filled with confidence.

I'm all for the new setting. I have no doubt, given the pedigree of the developers, that the game will be fun to play, and that the story will be suitably gritty and violent.

However, I feel like the noir style really needs to be present in a max payne game, and i'm not sure how they're going to do that in a tropical locale. Not saying it's impossible. But it's definitely not easy.
Good luck, rockstar!

Just a reminder. Wtf are they doing?!

What the hell? That's not Max Payne at all. I was really hoping Rockstar could pull it off, but this doesn't fill me with confidence.

Nooooo.... what have they done to my beloved Max. I knew he was going to be older and bald but i was at least expecting a leather trench coat.

"My name is Chev Chelios"

That doesn't look like Max Payne... it has no real style to it, just a fat bald man with a gun.

is it me or does max payne look like a fat john mcclain (era die hard 4) with a beard?

" All but one of these screenshots were in GI. "

Ok yeah looking at the screenshots immediately caused me concern

I love the character direction but...dude...Max Payne in broad daylight!? what is this? i does genuinely look like Uncharted 2.

Next he will go to the middle east and try to hit Big Ramps

That does not look like Max Payne to me. Not at all.

This does not look like a Max Payne game. At. All. It looks like angry Sam Fisher. In the jungle(?!).
This is a bullshit pretender to the throne. I am not a believer. It can play great and still not be Max Payne.

"This is Max as we've never seen him before, a few years older, more world-weary and cynical than ever"
Urrrghhhhhhhhhhh. Max Payne is not your generic angry-man. I wouldn't even call him cynical or world weary. First game is a drug infused revenge story after they *murder his wife and child*. The second is a conspiracy *love story*. Remedy did really interesting things with that character. But, you know, what the hey. Let Rockstar go Rockstar it all up. BLehghgh. Fuck this.

I don't know but my gut says fuck this shit.

" I'm starting to hate this game, I loved Max Payne 1 & 2 but this just isn't Max Payne. "

I'm starting to hate this game, I loved Max Payne 1 & 2 but this just isn't Max Payne.

max payne shouldnt be this...outdoorsy.

Love the new look of Max Payne..can't wait to see some gameplay. Hope they skip the pills this time around though since I ended up using health cheats in Max Payne 2.

All but one of these screenshots were in GI.

So what's the hook in Max Payne 3? I mean in the first two it was the bullet time and gritty story, but those things have now been done to death. So what is the hook now?

" im hoping this is a dream sequence and hes actually still in NYC "

He looks like Kimbo now.

im hoping this is a dream sequence and hes actually still in NYC

Why is Max out of Noir York and in some slums? What happened to his awesome hair? WHY DO NONE OF THESE PICTURES SHOW BULLET TIME!?

I feel sad inside. Seriously, NYC, burnt-out detective, monologues, punny names, is it really that hard to do?

" Why does he look like a side character that hands out missions in Far Cry 2?"Hey amigo, I'm going to need you to travel to map grid section 14-7 to collect 15 pineapples for my delicious homemade pineapple turnovers.  Once you have come back with these things, then I will give you the information you desire." - Max Payne "

My thoughts exactly. WTF? Why would Max Payne be in a jungle anyway? "

I won't judge until I see some actual gameplay but it doesn't look like Max to me. Not that's necessarily a bad thing but his face made half the game for me so to see him looking fat and having a beard makes me a bit disappointed.

no no NO NO

He looks like a white Dwayne Forge from GTA4.  I bet R* took the character model and changed the skin tone.

Dude looks mad old.

Sup half-tuck.

Saw all those in the new Game Informer.

diiiiiiiiisgusting.

My vision of what Max Pain is is dark, opressive streets in the pouring rain. Not really this. Still, I'll give it a chance.

And here's where we lose everything that made the last two games so awesome. Don't get me wrong, Rockstar makes quality games. I just don't see it being as good as the first two now that Remedy isn't involved. If the writing is up to snuff, I might reconsider

the new look breaks the predictable action every man mold, that is welcomed.
the odds are - this is going to be a well received shooter, it would more of a surprise if RockStar actually botched it.

Bring back the original model for Max Payne 1!!!

Lmao, everything but max himself looks straight outta uncharted.

(Re: silhouette screen)
Max Payne has a shotgun for a penis?

Looking pretty awesome. :)

big surprise, rockstar fucks up Max Payne. That looks absolutly nothing like Max Payne. Just put the damn game in a dark and gritty big city. New York in the first two Max Payne was a huge part of the game and that was what gave it its special flavor. Putting it in fucking Mexico or where ever the hell it is will take what was great about Max Payne and throw it out the window and then have a hobo rape it in the ear.

eh. i really dont like his new look. he looks like Sam Fisher from double agent now...

Looks like Double Agent, just got out the joint Sam Fisher.

Nothing we haven't seen in Game Informer.

He looks so different. But whatever, it's cool. I don't think Rockstar will let me down.

Is that set in brazil? It looks like that....
Also where's my free map pack Brad?

Grizzly Adams did have a beard.
