Here's Exactly What Max Payne 3 Looks Like

Fat, bald, and surly--wait, you already knew that part.

Rockstar sent out the first official screenshots of Max Payne 3 today. We already knew about Max's new older, paunchier look, and now we have some idea what kind of game this is actually going to be.

Well, sort of. I can tell you with confidence from looking at these shots that the game will involve guns, and shooting. Max will shoot guys. With guns. This will happen in some kind of tropical shantytown. How's that for in-depth analysis?


Truthfully, you can't get much of a sense of the game from these shots, but you can at least absorb the art style. How does it strike you? Do you think Naughty Dog ought to be getting upset yet? I'm all for changes in creative direction, but I certainly don't see anything in these shots that really screams "Max Payne!" at me.

Well, OK, that silhouette kind of fits.

If they remade Max Payne now that game would be terrible.  They need to change it pretty drastically to make it worth playing.

I like Max's new look. It totally suits his storyline.

It's too early to pass judgement because Rockstar always make great titles and i can't imagine them wanting to ruin this big name. I just wish'd it was based in the dark and gritty setting it was previously but I understand carrying on the story and to keep things fresh, that you can't do that. Just hope it's good cause I loved the first two.

Truly, I don't even see Max Payne.  I just see Drake after his chick left him for her surfing instructor.  Where is the black jacket?  Where is the constipated look?  This guy looks more like bruce willis, in the Jungle.  I think they should have just slapped the name Die Hard: Jungle Fever on there.

Yeah, this really looks like RE5 meets Uncharted to me.  And yet, for some reason, I have no interest in this game.

Maybe I missed a joke, but why would Naughty Dog be getting jealous? I didn't think they were involved in Max Payne?
