Max Payne 2 not doing well no the VE poll

its getting beat by a whole slew of games, including Doom 3, SWG, and Deus Ex 2.

Interestingly enough its getting beat by DNF4. Didn't people hear that was vaporware?

I just voted for MP2. Every vote helps.

Guys, they haven't showed any screens or anything related to MP2. Why do you expect people to vote for it when they nothing about it and neither do we.

Wouldn't that make MPII vapourware? graemlins/hhg.gif

So, let me get this straight...

If you release two sets of screenshots and a video, your title is vapourware.

But if you don't release anything at all, except a name, your title is not considered vapourware.

Right, that makes perfect sense. graemlins/hhg.gif

Nah, it's that just ppl aren't expecting it anytime soon and there wasn't any media released. Once some media is released, the anticipation will come.

since MP2 is the sequel to Max Payne, I think we can expect some features from it, notoably bullet time and verbose dialogue.

I mean I don't expect MP2 to stray too far from original Payne in terms of gameplay and story.

Right, that makes perfect sense. graemlins/hhg.gif <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">If you release screenshots/movies/info you create expectation. If you deliver nothing after that, people will call you a liar and call your product vaporware. On the contrary, if you release nothing about a title and you DON'T confirm nor deny that you're developing it, people will NOT be upset, because you didn't create any expectation. That's why lots of people are bitching about DNF but NOT A SINGLE PERSON is bitching about Half Life 2.

They have confirmed it, but have not actually released anything about the title. Doesn't that create expectation? Shouldn't I be upset? images/icons/confused.gif

Does that mean that either the game is coming on leaps and bounds or that it is not being made at all?
