WHAT THE F***. If that's supposed to be Max then I mind as well shoot myself, or better yet I'll shoot the person who thought of that face. Come on now, the point is to have a likeable face (Sam Lake) With that face I'll be killing Max on purpose. images/icons/mad.gif images/icons/mad.gif

I'm already thinking about a "Sam Lake mod"... Me too. I'm afraid that Max Payne not looking like Sam Lake would make MP2 the first computer game in history to jump the shark. http://forums.3drealms.com/images/iftw.gif :iftw:

Well, Max Payne always did look a little uncomfortable in the first game. He must have had an upset stomach or some constipation going on.

YEEHAW!!! It looks like the best-selling gaming magazine of my country is getting an exclusive for a Max Payne 2 preview! http://www.tgmonline.it/tgmgenesis/20030618132840/curr_cover.jpg

Is that for next month or this month?
I think a lot of countries are getting previews next month.
Why does Max Payne look like Kevin Kline there?

Devil Master

06-19-2003, 12:45 AM

It's the issue of TGM that will come out in few days.

P.S.
I really hope that Max still has the face of Sam Lake in MP2, or else I'll...

...paste Sam Lake's face on the model graemlins/tinyted.gif

By the way, I have seen couple of issues of the Italian TGM magazine and I have to say it is one of the best game magazines I have ever seen. Really good quality stuff.

The point is how is Max going to look in the next game. Will he have the same face we all know and love, even if he does look constipated, or will it be some shmuk who doesn't know his ass from a hole in the ground. PLEASE TELL ME THAT IS NOT THE FACE MAX WILL HAVE. images/icons/mad.gif images/icons/mad.gif

Bludd

06-19-2003, 02:40 PM

Well, Samuli and Mika didn't deny it earlier in this thread, but I think we should just wait and see, since they didn't confirm it either.

06-19-2003, 05:12 PM

maybe that isn't max. maybe max dies and we have play as that guy. remember the title: the fall of max payne? all the same, it was a bad idea to change the main character. but i still think max payne 2 will definatly be worth buying.

06-20-2003, 09:22 AM

My assumption is that Sami Javi will return as Max Payne, and that character may turn out as the main villian or somthing. I reckon they are just trying to stirr us up at the moment.

No-one in their right state of mind will choose somebody else over Sami Jarvi.

Um, this is difficult. Sami Jarvi was at this year's E3, so that maybe significant. Why would Sami Jarvi turn up there if he didn't play a part in Max Payne 2?

Bludd

He's still the lead writer for the game, absolutemaxpayne.co.uk (now that's a mouthful) images/icons/smile.gif

Ah, didn't know that one.

3DRealms are quite tight at keeping information quiet (as we all very well know!) and I havent seen it in any previous threads.

Well, hopefully 3DRealms will catch onto this thread and realise Sami Jarvi is the best hope of 'promoting' Max Payne 2.

poo_al

06-21-2003, 11:40 PM

What happened to the 'G' necklace and the orange undershirt? images/icons/frown.gif

He looks way older, and not like Sam either. It would be cool if he was older but still looked like Sam. Update the player model sure, but still make it look like Mr. Lake. Though I feel I must say that he has a more "noir" look than before.

It'll feel different playing the game if the main character doesn't have the familiar "I need fibre" look. images/icons/wink.gif

ryche

I agree with poo....why doesn't he look like an aged Sam? At least he doesn't look like he smelt a big pile of smelly socks & cheese....

By the looks of it, his undershirt got turned into a neck tie. They both look like they where made out of the same material. Which looks cool if you ask me.

He looks less like a renegade cop with bad indigestion and more like a detective this time around images/icons/grin.gif

I could've sworn that necklace in Max Payne was some kind of Viking ship charm.

...Was it a G?

Devil Master

06-22-2003, 03:27 AM

It wasn't a G but a Viking ship.
And I'm gonna definitely paste Sam Lake's face over that ugly mug when I get my copy of Max Payne 2.

maxpayne.co.uk

06-22-2003, 04:04 AM

Well, now. Is that a model from the game or just a pretty beefed-up rendering?

And just before people become any more outraged that it isn't Sam Lake's face, I'll have to say that it'd be a little silly if MP2 would use the same model and skin as in MP1.But surely the storyline continues from where Max was taken away in the police car at the end?

i looks ok. i bet they just threw the tie there to show of their physics engine... (hitman2 style yaknow) maybe they have dynamic clothes. like the jacket being dynamic. like the curtains n shit in Hitman2 and Splinter Cell... thatd be pretty cool. i think the new max looks pretty cool. even though he doesn't look like the old maxpayne at all he looks pretty good.

Go on, admit it. You would prefer Sami to be Max Payne instead of the new model. Although the new model is OK.

06-23-2003, 08:34 AM

Instead of just complaining about Max looking different, has anyone tried to figure out why? I'm sure there's a reason.

This is pure speculation, but we know that the movie rights for Max Payne were aquired some time ago. If they had cast the part of Max, it would be foolish to model the game character after Sam Lake again.

It's probably not the right reason, but it's certainly reasonable. I doubt they'd arbitrarily change Max's distinctive face without a motive.

There's a difference between universally recognized professional actors and professional actors, Jade. There are actors around the world that people in other countries do not know much of.

And even if you aren't a internationally recognized actor, you can still be a damn good one.

Somehow i feel this is a smart move, definitively against industry conventions but that's what makes it interesting.

I agree that i'll miss sam's face, but come on guys...we have to trust the developers. AND sam. I'm sure that since he's the writer he probably had a say in it. And if it was his decision or if he could agree with the rest of the team to change the look of max payne, then I'm just going to assume that they know what they're doing. images/icons/smile.gif

Besides, he looks a LOT more like a detective/cop, whereas in the first one he looked more like a bent rebel lashing out at whoever he could get his hands on.
And its not like you're looking at his face when you're playing the game images/icons/grin.gif

anyway, that's what some of the users of pc games online had to say about the recently published pictures:

"max doesn’t look like max anymore. his cool hawaiian shirt vanished, too. this way he looks like some bedraggled investigator."

"i don’t believe this guy is actually meant to be max payne. he looks much older whereas mona sax still has the same young features as in part one. well, we’ll see if max is going to look that old and past it in the final game."

"didn’t he spent a relatively long time in prison after part one? it would have left its marks on him, of course."

"i don’t find his new looks that awful. he aged a bit and has a slight 'dirty harry-touch' now. i’m waiting for the outcome."

"the new max doesn’t look like the old one at all. even if he aged he wouldn’t look the way he looks now."

"this is definitely not max payne! and if he is, i’d be extremely disappointed. as if 'dirty harry 2' wasn’t done with clint eastwood but gene hackman instead. that simply doesn’t fit. give me back the cool, hawaiian shirts and necklace-wearing max payne!"

"the bullettime action looked cool and dynamic when old max did it but when i take a look at the new model now, i have to smile.... on the other hand it might be interesting to see how max changed in the course of time, not only externally but also regarding his feelings and actions."

"compare this guy to the artwork!!! it’s definitely not max. most striking are his features and the missing sideburns. maybe it’s his superior, a baddie, or his father?"

pc games magazine will be published in early july. i'm quite excited about their comment on the subject.
