Awesome news, loved the second game and hopefully this will be as good as that was

This is the best news I have heard in a while!!!! I love the first two games to death, some of the greatest games ever made.  I really hope it has the same feel and style that made those games so much fun.  The studio that has is making the game better not screw it up or I will be pissed!!!

Wait, his life got worse after Max Payne 2? Geez, this guy's more miserable than Ethan Thomas.

Well Rockstar has a knack for creating games with great stories, so I have faith they can pull this off. I really hope that's how Max will look, however, because absolutely nothing about that pic makes me think of Max Payne.

never played a Max Payne game before, always heard about it though.  Looking forward to this one.

I don't know, the art looks like something out of GTA .

Max has grown a beard? Awesome.

I have high hopes for this game. I am a huge fan of the Max Payne games.

I'm sure this isn't going to be a popular statement but, I enjoyed the movie.

YES

I wish I had finished the first two. Now I can't find them anywhere...

yaaaaaaaaaaahooooooo

I never played the first two...I guess I still have time.

Dude yes! I was hoping they would continue the series. Now lets hope they announce something new on Alan Wake..

cool....max cool highly depress

I didn't like 2 as much as 1, but some people did. We'll see.

On one hand I'm excited, as I loved both Max Payne games. On the other hand, I'm skeptical because I'm pretty sure if memory serves me, that the games story was wraped up after 2. So then unless this has NOTHING to do with the first two games then...maybe? I don't know I'm pretty conflicted.

As for story wise, I doubt I'll have any worry over weither it will be good or not. It's comming from Rockstar so it should be fine.

Well I hope it turns out this damn good. The previous ones were... so hopefully this one can be too.

IM SO FUCKING PUMPED FOR THIS!

Sounds like good news for everyone except Max Payne himself lol.

Can't wait to help him wade through the shit one more time.

Glad to see Max Payne back.  Now all we need is Fear Effect 3 to come out, and I'll be one happy gamer.

I'd like a happy ending. Dudes been through enough.

YES!!!! This has utterly made my day. Interesting thing is, I can't see this being messed up even with Remedy sadly out of the picture. Can't wait for it.

I hope the "Dead Man Walking" mode returns (think thats what it was called). Basically just shoot dudes until you die. Because of that I kept returning to Max Payne 2 periodically for a long time. I honestly hope they get rid of the graphic novel-style cut scenes and the heavier than heavy-handed dialogue. GTA IV proved it is possible to do some honest-to-goodness dramatic scenes in-engine so I'm hoping for a story told in that manner. Also, want to shoot some dudes during the daytime. Thats all I can think of for now.

I am totally cool with remedy doing this.  If it is buggy they will patch it.  Bully was one of the greatest games ever made.

"get a puppy and meet a nice lady who runs a stand that sells seashells afixed with googly eyes." Vinny just declared his fantasy, or it is already going for him =P

omg finally

They changed the face? This franchise is dead to me.

Eat your heart out, Jack Bauer.

He looks too Sam Fisher-esque (before the Brian Ekberg style). I think they could have stuck with a Mark Wahlberg model and been fine. Doesn't really matter; I trust Rockstar.

He sure looks messed up. And the beard is very Robert Downey Jr. in the Soloist: grizzly. I hope he's a renegade cop, or even a vigilante.

no Remedy.  will give them a chance with their first preview.

its not going to be the same, im expecting the story to be told in a different fation and to suck. I dont have high hopes for this one. Max Payne was good thanks to Remedy and thair view on NYPD detectives down on their luck. And the story was told in a really special way that i don't think some one else can do it just as good.

...also.... THATS NOT MAX PAYNE!!! ITS FUCKING NIKO FROM GTA4(not really, im expecting some ppl to say that thats not Niko and think im stupid so im saying it now. I dont think it Niko but he sure as hell looks like some russian mofo). Fuck, are Roclstar retarded? Thay cant change the characters look.

I love Max Payne but did he kill Alan Wake?

"They changed the face? This franchise is dead to me.

"

They have to change up the bullet time mechanic or put a new twist to the mechanic or else I'm not going to buy this game. When Max Payne was first released it was one of its standout features. Now bullet time has been done to death and its just not going to be as satisfying.

I'd rather have him die in this one. He deserves some well-earned rest. Especially if Mona is dead.

The quote from Sam Houser makes it sound pretty bad ass!! Now that they can do more with the 360 and PS3, this might be the "Return of the King" of the franchise.  I hope it doesn't get delayed. Fingers crossed!!

No no no no no no nonononono, this is all wrong.  Max Payne was done, they finished the story!  Mona's dead, Woden's dead, Vlad's dead, there's no conceivable way to extend the franchise.  Max Payne as a franchise is finished, it had a beginning and it had an end, and theyre trying to resurrect it without even having the original dev team doing it.  This just sounds like a terrible idea all around.

They had to make a Max Payne 3. After all of the publicity the Max Payne franchise got because of the movie it would be very odd if they didn't make another Max Payne squeal.

YAY MAX PAYNE! Can't wait, already!

Doesn't even look like Max Payne. Looks like a fucking hobo who needs a shave and kick up the backside.

I seriously reckon if they release it this year it will be the equivalent of Soldier of Fortune 3.

YAY NEW MAX PAYNE! Can't wait!

I am not sure about Rockstar taking over on this. I need to go get a copy of Max Payne 2 and play that soon before 3 comes out though. I have only played through the original.

I loved both of the previous games with the whole noir atmosphere so I was excited to hear the announcement of Max Payne 3, but then again, wait a minute it's not Remedy anymore, it's one of Rockstar's developing studios and that sucks balls cause I'm afraid that instead of what could be one of the greatest game sequels in years we are gonna get GTA 4.5 without vehicles (on the other hand who knows about that vehicles). R* Vancouver made like one game, and that's Bully, yeah that's really awesome to give these guys Max Payne :/

Awesome. Can't fucking wait.

So when Max Payne gets his soul crushed even further he starts looking like Sam Fisher?  Weird.

New Max concept picture looks a lot like GTA IV concept art.


I'm thinking Max Payne Rage engine and watercolour trees?

Who thinks this will feature a cover mechanic? :)

It will definitely feature Cover mechanic Just like every third Person shooter released nowadays.
