LOL, you are kidding right? Ok, glad that was the case.

Fucking nice. This looks like it'll become my next go-to third person shooter! I've gotten worn out with Uncharted 3, so it'll be nice to have something else to fall back on soon for my competitive urges.

Play style looks like Red Dead Redemption, which makes sense. Anyone know for sure that it's the same engine? 

I was sold at "bullet time in multiplayer".

@familyphotoshoot: Bullet time works like a chain, when somebody activates it, if you see the guy in slow mo, or he sees u, u go into slo mo, if somebody sees 1 of u in slo mo, they go into slo mo, if somebody then sees him, he goes into slo mo..somebody sees him...he goes into slo mo

Ow wow, I didn't get that from the movie but that actually makes a lot of sense. I thought it was more that people in the LoS of the guy starting it would go into bullet mode, but that would be weird for that enemy coming from behind.

Yup... I really thought they would move. Rockstars games tend to be the ones that seels the best during may BUT in competition with Diablo 3/bliazzard I think it's Max that has to move date this time around.

Still confused over the bullet time stuff in a multiplayer game. Also I don't care for a mp in Max Payne. I want' to eat pain pills and shoot bad guys.

Game will be good. Not really feeling the trailers though. It's like they are trying to sell a car.

Useless comment is...well...useless.

i am tired of MP in games.

I am so ready for this game.

Edit: I'm really curious to see how bullet-time plays out in multiplayer. Does time slow for all players involved, or does the person activating bullet-time appear to be moving much faster than normal?

Only players in your line of sight apparently which seems like the smartest solution. Then again, I'm guessing that you're vulnerable to anyone behind you moving at full speed as you seemed to be slowed down also.

It'll probably look a little hokey, but it seems like the best solution to the problem.

This kind of multiplayer bullet time worked just fine in The Specialists. Though everyone within range reap the benefits of bullet time, the one who activates it has a slight advantage as he is the only one ready for when it'll kick in.

I'm surprised no game (that I know of) has copied it until now.

This looks super awesome!

BUUUUUURST

I am fucking sold on the multiplayer.

Very curious. Wonder if there will be a beta?

Can they really make the Bullet Time mechanic work online with lag and all that stuff?

The Specalists mod for Half Life 1 had bullet time in multiplayer and that was like 10 years ago already.

I gotta say in fact, Max Payne 3 here, looks alot like The Specalists mod except you know...better looking and stuff.

Also, dual SMGs.

Probably one of the few that saw the screenshot image on the main page of this with the payne killer text, read it way too fast & started wanting a new painkiller game:P. So if the everyone in the game saved up the bullet time, using it all at once in the same room, it might be rather interesting though hard to tell if it's lag or bullet time.

Bullet time in multiplayer is something I've done a lot of thinking about. It's high time someone approached it with a little more cleverness than F.E.A.R. 2's clunky "UM OKAY WHEN YOU PRESS THIS BUTTON EVERYONE ON THE MAP SLOWS DOWN LOL" solution.

Jesus, this looks awesome.

Looking good.

Multiplayer isn't really necessary for Max Payne, but this looks like good fun. The way they were showing "Gang Wars" with dudes running into the open doesn't seem like the way a person would play a shooter, especially with characters being so fragile.

I am the best at this game.

I am so ready for this game.

MAX PAYNE!
