Max Payne 2 FAQ update

[Maniac536]

After a few months of tweaking and trolling, I've updated my FAQ for Max Payne 2 a bit, mostly adding in info I've pinched here and there. If any one of you guys wants to check it out it's at the deep six, here's the link

Have fun. And I worked hard on this so be kind. One last thing, this is "unofficial" but I'm always certain of the information being true at the time I write it, even though some of it is subject to change.

After Stein commented on the engine at havok.com you can safely assume that Havok is for Max Payne 2, otherwise he wouldn't be speaking of implementing anything me thinks. (Remedy isn't big enough to make two games)

I try not to make assumptions like that and later be proven wrong. I don't want to get a 'cease and desist' in the e-mail.

No it's true. I'm sure of it.

I thought you didn't want to make assumptions which later could turn up wrong? More of an assumption to assume something never mentioned than to write something which Remedy has said themself basically... WHAT-EVA... dude... images/icons/tongue.gif

However you put it, NOBODY has mentioned PS2, most people ASSUME it will be out for PS2 and Xbox. What HAS been mentioned is that they've started implementing the physics system, they have no other game to implement it in than MP2, unless they waste time and money on it for fun. That's what I mean, one thing is more sure than another.

[Maniac536]

Skaven I think we need a ruling on this.

Right after release there was a topic about platforms for Max Payne 2 and a REMEDY EMPLOYEE said quote "Max Payne will be primarily a PC game. Rockstar is like the origional game working on a PS2 port."

I never once said nobody's mentioned it. They have, the post was last may, you're not looking back far enough.

Hey, what's about Sami's role in the new game??? He's writing but he won't play again Max? How we can imagine Max Payne 2 without his ogirinal face images/icons/frown.gif

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Surely the issue here is that the info is not relevant anymore. That was almost a year ago; but your asserting that the fact still holds true today (like a few other titbits in the faq). By all means say that Remedy commented on it last year; just add to it that no further comment has been made since, and hence we can only presume that a console port is in the cards with ps2 and xbox being the most likely candidates.
