God! The comments, the comments.

I wonder when people will get tired of Gears of War clones?


Max Absolution: Payne Conviction looks like it's going to be a horrible piece of shit.

 

[J_C]

That generic shitty boxart is hurting my eye. Also the game will probably be just another popamole, and will only be a Max Payne game in name.

Who cares, it'll be shite.

I wonder what Remedy is working on n-

I was until I saw that it is exclusive on Iphone/pad

 

[Roguey]

With this, ME3, and XCOM, March is looking like the month for third person cover based shooters. I can only hope this means XCOM bombs hard. They're all aiming for the same target demographic so they can't all be successes, right?

i phone and i pad only I like car combat games if they're done good.

Wow, they described the game as dark and gritty in the very first sentence. Also, Intelligent Cover System? Does not compute.

 

[The Village Loon]

omg cool! max payne. cant play those old ones they look crap and they are old but i like the movie. i hope mark wahlberg will be in this one too! i hope this has dx11 too or i wont get it. and support for my 4-core soundblaster.

Holy fucking pole dancing Prosper. This is Max Payne now? Can they get the concept of Max Payne more wrong even if was a EA game? The box art itself screams out "noire".

 

[Phelot]

Oh yeah LOL I forgot that they made Max some bald motherfucker.

Anyway, I enjoyed the gameplay of MP2 but the story and all was already fucked by then so I guess it doesn't matter. If they somehow manage to stick to the fun gun play of the last two, it might be decent, but I don't have much faith.

In that same sentence, they also said,

and is sure to satisfy both newcomers and veterans to the historic franchise alike

It was a buzzword paradise for a while there. They forgot "immersive," but I am sure that they will make up for it.

I have no idea how this game will turn out. Personally, I have rarely found combat to be impressive in a Rockstar game. Red Dead Redemption even managed to screw up dueling--in a western, that is really disappointing.

 

[RK47]

....so instead of slowmo bullet time shootouts, we'll have cover shooting?

What will they ever do next?

 

[Vaarna_Aarne]

Putting cover in a Max Payne game is bullshit. It was all about shooting motherfuckers in slowmo while dodging bullets. Or using the Kung Fu mod.

 

[curry]

It's probably gonna be a sweet game although it won't have anything to do with Max Payne. '

My god, Rockstar makes some changes and the Codex is all butthurt over again.

 

[SoupNazi]

I don't want to give up on it before I see it, but this is supposed to be a Noir story ... and 3/4 of it takes place in Brazil or wherever. So yeah, I'm feeling pretty butthurt. Not to mention that whenever the protagonist of a successful series shaved head, it ended up shit (Splinter Cell: Double Agent).

Noir story? The whole game doesn't need to look like the motherfucking Third Man to be "Noire".

Personally, I like the change. We get both NYC and Sao Paulo settings, plus being developed by Rockstar at least we can be sure the production values will be right.

 

[MetalCraze]

"Some changes"

From a night to a day
From an action packed gun-fu gameplay to a static shooting range
From an everyman to the steroid-raging GTA bull-gangster
From corrupt cops, politicians and mafia to thirdworld niggers


It's like they were developing a totally unrelated game and then thought it won't sell much unless they give it an unrelated but known name.

 

[Morgoth]

From night to day

Who says there won't be night missions?

From action packed gun-fu gameplay to a static shooting range

And you can tell that from some screenshots how?

From everyman to steroid-raging GTA bull

Doesn't look like a rage fueled bull to me.

Sorry Skyshit, you fail again.

 

[MetalCraze]

Who says there won't be night missions?

Who says all missions won't be night missions you mean?

And you can tell that from some screenshots how?

Why do I need just screenshots for that? I fully trust devs to deliver Intelligent Cover System™

Doesn't look like a rage fueled bull to me.

You are right - similarities are impressive. It's like Rockstar was always doing Max Payne sequel

 

[Morgoth]

He looks like a wannabe tough guy in the first picture.

I like the look of Max in MP3, both the haired and the bald version.

But some people have just bad tastes.

 

[SoupNazi]

I'm sorry, but this argument is like watching Dumb & Dumber. Talking about who's dumber.

 

[Rhalle]

Max Payne 2 is one of my favorite games.

Not a bit surprised to see Rockstar making it ugly.

 

[Stinger]

>=O

Looks atrocious.

As if over the top bullet time shooting is too 'niche' for a mainstream audience that we need to throw cover based shooting even into Max Fucking Payne!
