http://www.vg247.com/2009/06/09/rumor-max-payne-3-shown-on-the-cover-of-next-game-informer/

I'm looking forward to this game, could be good despite change in devs

EDIT: ah I've found scans but I won't post them considering forum rules

EDIT 2: there's a cover system apparently and it takes place in brazil D:

[Barnz]

lol Die Hard 3

[Dalamari]

lol Die Hard 3

Was thinking that



Cover system? This game is ****ed

[barbarbarbarbar]

I'm afraid that my oh so beefy computer wont be able to run it when it comes out

[Barnz]

EDIT 2: there's a cover system apparently and it takes place in brazil D:

How is this is a bad thing?

[barbarbarbarbar]

what's a cover system ?

[Saturos]

Was thinking that



Cover system? This game is ****ed^This

Max Payne doesn't f**king take cover for cryin out loud! He dances out of trouble in f**king bullet time! Geeze, why does every developer have to jump on the "cover" bandwagon these days? It doesn't work for all action/adventure games and that's a fact.

What's next? Is Samus Aran gonna have a stupid cover system in the next Metroid? /facepalm

Oh , like , "take cover ! " .

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I was going to post in this thread with genuine excitement, but the things you say are far, far more impressive than any game release this year, or ever.

[Saturos]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!If you've ever played Gears of War you'd know what it is. It worked for that game and many people liked it, so now every other dev out there has been tacking it on every other game too.

[Remus]

- takes place in Brazil
- gruff unshaven old man max
- cover system

If they also include a Gears of War style over the shoulder camera angle, I WILL NOT PLAY THIS, PERIOD.

[Krynn72]

I like cover systems.



*hides*

[barbarbarbarbar]

I like cover systems.



*hides*

They are ok , but not in max payne ! He's no pussy ! He goes bullet time and shoots the crap out of everyone !

[Saturos]

They are ok , but not in max payne ! He's no pussy ! He goes bullet time and shoots the crap out of everyone !My thoughts exactly. I don't dislike cover systems, but it's completely out of place in Max Payne tbh.

[Samon]

That looks so absolutely terrible.

[Sedako]

It's going to be isometric. One of my friends works for UPS, and he delivers packages to a friend of one of the programmers.

[KagePrototype]

OMG a cover system **** THIS SHIT

(seriously, Max Payne has turned into John McClane. That's awesome)

They are ok , but not in max payne ! He's no pussy ! He goes bullet time and shoots the crap out of everyone !

Give him some slack, he's a middle-aged fat bloke now. Can't wait to see him diving around the air in slow-motion with that wonderful figure though.

[Harryz]

Surely Remedy is not developing the game? Whos developing the game? Sounds pretty awful.

Rockstar Vancouver has taken it's place I believe.

Meh, not interested. Payne in Sao Paulo....?

Bald Payne 3

I like it.

[barbarbarbarbar]

^^ *says "oh my god" south park style"

[Unfocused]

Cover system? :|

And let me guess - regenerating health (please, no)?

[BHC]

Regenerating health, cover system, unlimited ammo and BEARDS GALORE. (Rated T for teen)

Must buy, GOTY 2009

[joule]

So I guess Max joins up again with the DEA and hunts the drug cartels in South America?

This isn't Max Payne. Where is the noir? Where is the feeling and mood?

[VirusType2]

Cover sounds right. It's a natural evolution of gameplay

Instead of standing behind a wall looking stupid when avoiding gunfire, now you stand behind a wall looking like you are actually avoiding (covering from) gunfire.

Personally, I think it could make it more fun, so long as the controls are done right.

You're all ******s.

Let's all judge the game based on the concept art on an unreleased issue of Game Informer

[VirusType2]

Sweet, it's coming to the PC!

[Samon]

Let's all judge the game based on the concept art on an unreleased issue of Game Informer

I don't think Sam Fisher Syndrome is something to be applauded. "How to make a generic character, more generic!" Well, Max wasn't wholly generic - certainly he is not cut from the same cloth as Fisher, but y'know, it's a fairly distasteful development.

[VirusType2]

I think he went bald because of a brain tumor / chemotherapy.

[BHC]

Max Payne was never "tasteful" it was always just as much satire as it was faux-noir

It's impossible to make it into a trilogy in a "tasteful" way.

Why do you badmouth John McClane

[Eejit]

Payne and Present Danger?

It's not like anyone actually knows what they're talking about, we've only just got our hands on the preview. This E3 has been almost entirely comprised of flounces from hormonal 'fans'. 'WELL IF IT HAS THIS/LOOKS LIKE THIS/COSTS THIS MUCH I'M NEVER PLAYING IT EVER'

Shame the game isn't in Remedy's hands, though.

[BHC]

Rockstar Vancouver is a more than capable developer, it's not the goddamn end of the world. Those ****ers made Bully, they're goddamn brilliant. Remedy wouldn't hand it over to some group of sods, the game could very well turn out to be a good bit of fun, if not a bit of a departure from the typical Payne formula (which isn't necessarily a damned bad thing).

Give 'em time.

as Barking Dog Studios

* Homeworld: Cataclysm (1998) (PC)
* Counter-Strike (2000) (PC) (Various Maps) (with Valve Software)
* Global Operations (2002) (PC)
* Treasure Planet: Battle at Procyon (2002) (PC)


as Rockstar Vancouver

* Bully (video game) (2006) (PlayStation 2)
* Bully: Scholarship Edition (2008) (Xbox 360, PC, Wii) (with Rockstar New England and Rockstar Toronto)
* Max Payne 3 (2009) (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC)


Shitty track record, amirite? OH WAIT--they're ****ing awesome. Global Operations was a fun as hell and underrated budget MP shooter, I enjoyed the piss out of it. They also helped with a lot of the popular maps that are still in regular rotation in CS 1.6 today. Rockstar gave them a shit load of money and they've hired in some of the best talent around. Bully was goddamn brilliant. Not to mention Rockstar has industry leading QA.

[jondy]

Holy shit! I didn't know they were so awesome, that's really cool.

[Samon]

Why do you badmouth John McClane

Because I saw Die Hard 4.

[Barnz]

4 sucked. You can't make a Die Hard film without him saying "yippie-kayey mother****er".

[Samon]

http://img3.imageshack.us/img3/6518/129028bild.jpg

That is an abomination. Who is responsible for this atrocity?

[barbarbarbarbar]

What the **** is going on with the game industry !? Shitty prequels and ruined sequels.

[Bulletbrain]

Well. at least the last games subtitle "Fall of Max Payne" now makes more sense.

[Stigmata]

Global Operations was goddamn awesome. Loved it way more than Counter-Strike. In fact, last week I was just thinking "Man, I'm still pissed that Global Ops never replaced Counter-Strike".

[AHA-Lambda]

I liked 4 :(

4 sucked. You can't make a Die Hard film without him saying "yippie-kayey mother****er".

Watch the director's cut of 4.

[Seppo]

lol! They're just making another Grand Theft Auto clone. this has to be a joke...

well good luck with that, I won't be buying it

[mastag]

I loved the first 2 so much, too.

:(

[Corp. Sheepo]

4 sucked. You can't make a Die Hard film without him saying "yippie-kayey mother****er".

Ugh, that annoyed me too. It was the first **** in the movie, it wouldn't even get its rating jacked up!

[Absinthe]

I'm going to be cautiously optimistic because of the developer on this. But I gotta say I find it difficult to see how this will retain the noir feeling of the first two games. And I don't dig Max's look at all. I hope it's a lure just to shock people and at some point he cleans the **** up. :\

[VirusType2]

Nico Payne

[Rizzo]

I think it looks cool.

Cover system is a good idea. You always spammed the arrow keys or a-d running back and forth when in a tight spot. Or just standing starring into a wall waiting for a couple of enemys to stop shooting.

[VirusType2]

I used to dive (fly) around the room in random directions like a pinball, shooting mofos. It was stupid, but the rest of the game was pretty good.

The narration seemed cool in MP1, but in MP2 it was an embarrassment.

[smwScott]

A cover system is a very natural evolution of the Max Payne gameplay. It looks cool, and more importantly people were already doing it ... it just looked stupid. I don't see how anyone could have a problem with that ... slow-mo diving into, out of, or between cover is ****ing cool and very Max Payne.

What isn't cool is .... every ****ing thing else. Seriously, what the ****!? I have faith in Rockstar Vancouver ... but goddamn. What the **** are they thinking? This just seems like such a retarded move for the series. It could be a promising new IP ... but it just doesn't make any goddamn sense for Max Payne.

Samon should give every RockStar dev an infraction and ban Sam Houser.

Why does he look like me! :(

[BHC]

I sort of like it. Pi is hawt.

[FishBulb]

Rockstar Vancouver are making a game that parodies all the rogue, hit-rock-bottom antiheroes.







And no one can convince me otherwise! LALALALALA!

[Pi Mu Rho]

Are you suggesting that I'm a rogue, hit-rock-bottom antihero?

[FishBulb]

A parody of them, yes. So basically, no.

[jimbo118]

Looks like he has shit on his top.

[Samon]

Why does he look like me! :(

YOU ARE UGLY. AND YOU ARE DEFORMED. AND THESE ARE CRIMES.

[Barnz]

I heard this game's using RAGE engine, which is sad because it's poorly optimized for PC. I'll pass this.

[bam23]

because improvements can never be made.

seriously, this game will have almost a year between the first and only game that has used RAGE on the PC (GTA4).

[VirusType2]

^
The environments will be much smaller too, so that will help a lot.

I don't know, I installed Max Payne 2 today and it's pretty boring. I remembered it being better.

MP3 is long overdue, but they are going to have to make me interested in it at this point. Max should roll out in a walker or wheelchair.

[Lucid]

I hate his new look.
Alot.

[Tyguy]

That looks so absolutely terrible.

agreed. who's the jeen-yus that figured giving max payne an additional 100 pounds would somehow compel people to like it more? Can't make too many judgments so early on but I can easily say this has a 3 percent chance of being played on my computer.

[Krynn72]

I HATE CHANGE! I AM AFRAID OF DIFFERENT THINGS!

[Samon]

I like good things; dislike bad things. How about that.

[Krynn72]

I like good things; dislike bad things. How about that.

You dont like anything. Everything you say is full of hate.

[Tyguy]

max payne used to be unreal, i remember stopping at gateway and playing it on their SUPER DUPER system, which by today's standards is an etch-a-sketch with a keyboard and mouse.

[Gorgon]

I am a tool.

[Ravioli]

I dont like this at all

[Rizzo]

I think I sounds and looks awesome.

[Lucid]

Is he fighting Middle Easterns? :|

[Barnz]

Is he fighting Middle Easterns? :|

Maybe next game.

[Samon]

Do not post scans. That said, thanks! I must say, this game looks like trash - a truly horrible direction.

Is he fighting Middle Easterns? :|

No, it's set in Brazil.

[Sedako]

Needs more Captain Baseball Bat Boy suits.

[Lucid]

What the **** is he doing in Brazil?

[Sedako]

He's living it up as a bum, obviously.

JEFF BRIDGES!!!!

[Samon]

That was my first thought too.

[BHC]

Hey guess what guise? Samon doesn't like the aesthetic of the new Payne game!

[bam23]

i am reskinning Max's look asap.

[jet_porkins]

I was going to paste the following quote 5 times:

Let's all judge the game based on the concept art on an unreleased issue of Game Informer

... until I thought for about 5 minutes and asked myself, how on earth is the style going to feel the same with this dramatic change of setting?

Max Payne isn't only about the thousands of bullets going every which way.

Hopefully the story makes sense, but as mentioned before, the mood will probably completely change.

[BHC]

Max Payne is deep n' stuff

[venturon]

I was posting about Max Payne on hl2.net. Funny as hell, it was the most horrible thing I could think of.

[StardogChampion]

[Lucid]

Wow, this really doesn't look like a Max Payne game at all.
But, I'm sure it'll have fun gameplay.

Bullet time ftw.
