    How about you actually see the game in motion before you judge it.

    I'm really looking forward to Max Payne 3.
    I don't care about pictures. I'm waiting for the game and judge it then

    I hate to break it to you, but if this game was with the same Max vying for revenge in New York City you'd be saying the exact same thing. It would be waaaay too generic at this point.

    At least it would be worthy of the name Max Payne. But since Rockstar can get away with everything these days, they probably don't give a damn. They made a ping-pong game for christ's sake …

    Because the screenshots of a game that isn't even out yet is totally what the entire game will look like, apparently.

    yet again your judging it from low quality pictures 


    just chill out and wait for more information in the coming months

    You can judge the general direction a game is taking from the concept art, let alone a screen.

    But until we know what sort of screen shot that is you can't say that much.

    It obviously features day light, which means it ain't no Max Payne. It's not in New York, which means it ain't no Max Payne.

    It isn't made by Remedy, which means I totally don't care about it at this time. Too bad Alan Wake is also looking like it's going in a different direction than I'd want it to.

    Looks like freaking Uncharted.


    I loved the first 2 Max Payne games (with the possible exclusions of the dream sequences of MP2) and I don't see anything wrong with making another highly linear, well crafted game. Open world = Mercs 2 but with slow-mo and the ability to dive imo.

    The game's setting being in Brazil kinda keeps me away
    plus Max looks too similar to Bruce Willis, so I'm really not too optimistic

    However, Max Payne + RAGE seems like a nice match

    @atomic_dumpling: You can't judge the game off its setting. It has bullet time, it's probably very noir and will have comic strip parts and I'm guessing will be very violent as well. They probably want to distance themselves from the movie, too.

    If by "terrible" you mean "awesome as hell" then you are absolutely correct, sir!

    I think its a perfect fit for the way the character has progressed.  In each Max Payne game he has gotten the whole turkey stuffing beaten out of him.  To come back again in a clean leather jacket and a stylised haircut would just remove that edginess from the character.  In Max Payne 2, he got shot in the head! But he still keeps going because hes simply a badmotherfucker in the truest sense of the word, and this new design represents that entirely.

    What, you thought when Max Payne got old he'd wear a wig?

    HAHAHA!!!!! I love what Joystiq wrote about the new screen shots:


    "Oh wow, Nathan Drake has really let himself go since the original Uncharted. What's that? Oh, sorry, this is actually Max Payne 3. So anyway, Rockstar has loosed the first screens of the latest game in its gritty, film noir inspired action series. Max obviously got wrong directions from Google Maps and has ended up in Uncharted 2-- or is it Resident Evil 5? No, it really is the next Max Payne."

    I feel the same way, hopefully he grows his hair back and puts his jacket on later in the game.

    @buzz_killington: Yes its a open world game but the point of a sequel is not to just keep Rollin out the same thing because then people would eventually get board and never play it again. Plus did you even read the goddamn article cus if not go read i promise youll feel different.
