Max Payne 3: This Time It's Going to be Grim And Gritty!

"It was always pretty grim. And no one welcomes anything with 'grit' in it anymore."

Max Payne 3: Look At That Shaved Head and Wife-Beater, He's A Man Who Means Business

"He could have kept the hair and clothes, we probably would have known he was serious."

Max Payne 3: Explore a Tropical Locale With The Original Bullet-Time!

"Well at least you kept SOMETHING. Sure didn't keep the Noir."

Max Payne 3: Shut the Fuck Up


"Ah, right."

 

[Haba]

Wow, it's come a long way from when I quit almost 3 years ago.

Affix the bow of shame, we don't take kindly to rapists here.

Unless it is tasteful.

Looks pretty fun as a run 'n' gunner, some nice animation work too this time. Doesn't appear like cover shooting is really even needed. Shame the noir aspect gets dumped for the tropical setting, but the gameplay looks enjoyable as ever. And what's wrong with him shaving his head? I shave mine too. Show us baldies some love or we'll send Steve Austin to come straighten you out.

 

[trym88]

I bet it's much fun for around 30 minutes.

Bullettime video

Daymn, call me Captain Decline all you want, but this really looks sexy.

 

[Menckenstein]

Given how fucked up GTA4's PC port was I'm not entirely convinced the same won't happen here. Bullet Time gameplay looked good though, about the same as it was in MP2.

From Rockstar:

"We're proud to say that Max Payne 3 will support Direct X 11 features including Tessellation. This means a higher frame rate, greater visual fidelity, precision mouse and keyboard controls, a full suite of customisable visual and control settings, and optional 3D functionality for an even greater sense of immersion."

Well, take it or not, but chances are they won't be so stupid to fuck that one up.

 

[Menckenstein]

Don't get my hopes up you son of a bitch.

.

Thanks to the wonders of DX11 games can now finally have "precision mouse and customisable keyboard controls". Someone should inform From Software of this amazing new technology.

 

[Volrath]

That bullet time video brought back some sweet memories. Possible ?

 

[Commissar Draco]

Looks Sweet indeed and what is more KKKodexian than shooting Negros?

 

[toro]

The gameplay video looks nice and except the bald guy, it seems to be a decent Max Payne game or a third person shooter.
I don't understand the fuss about it, cause except the bullet time, Max Payne did not revolutionize shit. Maybe breaking glass and furniture. My memories are foggy, but I remember both games were short as fuck.
However I'm interested in this and I hope they manage to have some credible fucked up anti-hero like Kane&Lynch games had - the main protagonists were depicted in a human, miserable and realistic way.
So, for me, everything depends on Max's backstory. If the bald guy is a credible character, this might be good for what it is - linear third person shooter.

 

[sser]

Wow I gotta admit this looks a lot better than I had assumed. When those first screens came out it looked like a Kane and Lynch, cover-shooting piece of shit. I'm definitely interested, but I saw on Steam that it was being sold for $60 on PC. What the hell? And MP2 was so mod-friendly, but Rockstar hasn't made a good PC game in quite awhile. I wouldn't want to buy this for PC and have it be another train wreck of sorts.

Or a fuckton of pre rendered HD cinematics for teh consoles.

 

[Morgoth]

It's not prerendered since the transition from cutscene to gameplay is supposed to be smooth and without any interruption.

 

[Menckenstein]

Huge specs range there. This is using the GTA4/5 engine, yeah?

 

[Azalin]

35GB?

How many DVDs is this thing going to be in?4?

 

[Darklife]

Max, dearest of all my friends!

Edit: Holy crap those are some ludicrous reccomended specs right there. A GTX 680? 16 GB of RAM? Either they are simply incapable of porting games to the PC and this will be GTA IV all over again, or that gameplay is from the console version and we're going to get Crysis 3.

 

[Jack]

Rockstar can't port for shit, there's your answer.

 

[Morgoth]

It's not a port.

I for one, am glad they're finally releasing a game that utilises PC hardware of the 21th century.

 

[Darklife]

GTA IV utilised PC hardware that wasn't even on the market at the time, but you don't see it in benchmarks do you? I fear this game will share the same fate, at least judging from the footage.

I know what you mean, though, but that's not what matters

The size is probably due to mocap, that stuff weights a ton. Especially if the cutscenes aren't pre-rendered. I reckon that the textures doesn't take any more space than those of any other game released the last five years or so. The characters are pretty decent in quality, the levels themselves are a blurry mess. Business as usual these days.

That brick wall sure is high res.
