Get a Load of Max Payne 3's Multiplayer

Looks pretty good, can't wait.

When are developers going to stop plastering player names all over my damned screen? Jesus, what a mess.

If I want to know who just killed me or vice versa i'll just take a look at the death log. I'm okay with a fading player name when I look at someone but damn, always on player names and other useless information just really add a lot of distraction. Or simplify it, give everyone a color and put a colored dot over their head or something.

the multiplayer is doing nothing for me.

GETTING THIS

this is laughable 

Looks decent, if slightly generic. I really like the look and feel of the game, but I don't see how the multiplayer will be fun. I guess the bullet-time mechanic applied to people in your line of sight gives your enemy a heads up that they're being targeted, but seeing as how bullet-time is supposed to be a 'power-up' of sorts, I would think knowing you're going to die long before you do isn't as fun as they'd like. I'll definitely give a try before dismissing it, but there's a reason time manipulation has rarely been implemented in multiplayer. Unless they'd "solved" it, I don't think it'll be a very fun mode. Then again, I don't come to Max Payne for MP.

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.

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

SLOW-MO-CEPTION

I never wanted multiplayer from this game. I still don't.

SQUEEEEEEEE!

Said it before, but I'll say it again. The Rockstar trade-mark trailer style is starting to get old. Also, it fit the feeling of RDR, it was a stretch with LA Noire, but Max Payne....

Man, this multiplayer convinced me to pre-order this game along with Ghost Recon.

Totally getting this on PS3.

Fuck Diablo 3.  I want this game all over my face.

Why are so many people getting into firefights without their shirt on? It seems highly irresponsible.

@Mr_Misery: Or developers can stop looking for ways to shoehorn in multiplayer into every series? This seriously looks really generic outside of 'bullet time' effect being in it, which really comes off being goofy.

I've been mulling over speed in games for bullet time and other alternatives for a while. Everyone? Nearby? Others will probably have less sensitivity and therefore a slower reticle leading to less ability to shoot and react during bullet time.

But Speed control is a big thing because you can't just attach one person to it due to real time.

@Skyfire543: After this video, my first thought was "pre-order".

Yeah, this is going to be a good game.

hey what did you use to make that gif? I tried to make one out of a movie clip yesterday but that resulted in a huge gif file!

@DeF: It IS a huge file

still only 20% of the size my file was with pretty much the same duration, I think^^ (mine was 60+mb)

Hope the multiplayer turns out better then it was in GTA4 and RDR.

Diablo 3 and Max Payne 3 on the same day? Time to request some days off.

game looks amazing. Never played a MP game before so this looks it'll be my first. Will that ruin the story for me then if there isnt a summary on what he did in the first 2.

From what I've read and seen, not really, I guess. Seeing how there (most likely) won't be any old characters coming back and that the game doesn't happen in New York anymore. Or well, I guess there will be a few 'chapters' at New York, maybe they'll use those to tell some of the previous stuff. That and/or just a "Previously in Max Payne!" video.

But I do suggest still playing the previous games! First one might seem a tad clunky nowadays, but the second game is still a superb shooter, at least on a PC.

i am tired of MP in games.

Huh. Okay then.

The multiplayer looked kind of bland in this. I don't like the character designs also the maps they were showing looked dull.

I'm really hoping that multiplayer don't overshadow the singleplayer like the newest Twisted Metal did. I was really disappointed in learning that you can only play as 3 characters there.
