In a recent press release, Remedy unnoficially let slip an announcement of a brand new official add on for Max Payne. Plans for this have been under way for quite a while. This new edition of Max Payne is planned to be entitled Max Payne: Kung Fu kitty edition. The box art has also been planned (See the picture at the bottom of the page). While not much information was released about this game, We did get a chance to interview some [unnamed] Remedy employees.
The game story is no longer about Max himself, but Max's cat. "We thought it would be a... unique... point of view"<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> "Everyone always focuses on a strong, tough adult male, or female, but never on an animal. Besides, we thought another crime story happening to Max would get a little annoying. So we decided to change perspective a little, and tell a story about how Max's cat deals with the crime of New York." <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Sources report that Max's cat will have most of the abilities of Max himself, and some new and different ones. "Obviously, since the character is now a cat, it has to have cat-like moves. This is a very talented cat, however. He will have the shoot dodging ability, and many different dodges and rolls. Cats are very quick and graceful, and can dodge very easily. However, a cat would have much trouble holding and shooting any sort of gun, so we added in the kung fu aspect. " <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">The cat, known to pets all over the city as 'kung fu kitty' will gain the ability throughout the game to perform more and more advance kung fu techniques. Starting off with simple abilities, such as swiping with claws, biting, and possibly a kick or too. Later, he will gain the ability to perform more deadly kicks and punches, and even run on walls. "I saw the running on walls thing in a user made Max Payne Mod, and we decided we really liked it, and we implemented it into our game."<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Further Information will be released later, and no release date was given as to when this product would be completed.
