A cover mechanic would actually suit Max Payne though so it would feel natural, rather than tacked on cause thats the fad lately. I think you guys are shitting on the game too early because this is Rockstar and they hardly ever make a bad game and their art style owns. You can't expect the game not to change cause if you get the same thing with better graphics then like Doom 3 you'll have everyone complaining it's nothing new. They just need to evolve the franchise in the right way and I'm sure rockstar will do that.

Just hope their PC version actually works unlike their recent games.

By "scrunchy-faced", you mean perpetually constipated.  And, NOW he's "world-weary and cynical"?!?  Excuse me, but I don't remember him being all puppies and sunflowers before.  I'm really not sure about the sameness direction that this title seems to heading.  Personally, I am more interested in Dead to Rights: Retribution, although the 2nd game was crap, I'm hoping the developers knew that and recaptured the first game's uniqueness.  In Dead to Rights (original), Jack Slate, accompanied by his dog, wasn't a grim & gritty cop like every other Punisher clone anti-hero.  This new Max Payne seems to be a game made in the ordinary dark and sulky character template.

All hail to Max Payne!!! But, the face looks a bit like Sam Fisher in Conviction. By the way, where is Conviction? Anyway, let's wait for the new story about Max and Mona.

I'm down for another Max Payne game.

I see you guys complaining that remedy isnt the one doing this...but ROCKSTAR is.  Do you understand?  ROCKSTAR.  You know, the immensely successful creators of the GTA series?  Likely one of the best companies to be doing a game about a rundown old washout cop living in a terrible city with a lack of morality.  Did any of you play any of the GTA games?  This is like a step UP.  (i am a massive max payne fan and I'm extremely excited by this news).

It'll be set in Africa. Everyone loves nameless wartorn African countries now.

This is great news. Can't wait to jump back in there.

They can release it with the same gameplay as the second, and as long as it's longer, (7 hours is WAAAAY too short) I'll be content.

Fucking WANT.

I was compelled to give Vlad his gun back. One bullet at a time.

@dillinger:

No doubt Mona will be dead. He is seriously the most downer protagonist ever, and I loved Max Payne 1 & 2's style & stories.

It's quite disappointing how Remedy is not going to be involved in the Max Payne series anymore
But guys, don't forget that Jeff gave Bully, a game that was developed by Rockstar Vancouever aka the guys who are developing Max Payne 3, an 8.7 out of 10
I'm quite optimistic with how things are gonna turn out

btw, are they going for the RAGE engine or what?

The original was much better than the 2nd imo, hopefully Rockstar will use the GTA IV engine and make the 3rd just as ground breaking! They are Geniuses.

its a bummer that Remedy isnt working on it..but hey..maybe they will finally finish Alan Wake

He looks like he could use a hug!

I hope they go with Mona being alive, she is my favorite character. Also, boobs.

I personally hope they use the Stranglehold engine. Cover, bullet time, everything that MP3 needs.

Though I kinda hope the Mona does die, because it makes Max a more =( character. I also hope it's linear like the first, the level design in the second was kinda shitty (seriously, how are you supposed to shootdodge if there is a small 2x4 every 3 feet?)  Sandbox games blow.
