[ADM]

Nice!

[scorpion]

lookin good

[M]

cool, clean, smooth, nice, sweet.... thats all the words i can think of.

[Mayur]

Looks like rain will make up the atmosphere this time instead of snow images/icons/smile.gif

The character features are pretty detailed compared to the first one.....wonder if it will pull through a geforce2 mx....

[Krursk]

Well I can see from the screenshots that decent player shadows have made it in. Looks like per pixel lighting is there.. can we have a official confirmation on per pixel lighting please.

Looking nice.. images/icons/smile.gif

The black guy in the second pic looks a bit "flat faced" though.
But other than that, it's looking good.

Now it's time for me to get excited! images/icons/smile.gif images/icons/smile.gif

[bullion]

those look even better now images/icons/smile.gif

I don't like how the bad guys seem to drop painkillers when they die. But besides that, lookin' fingerlickin' good y'all!

EDIT: And oh, I guess it's time to start saving for that Radeon 9800 Pro images/icons/frown.gif

[motionblur]

Niiiiice images/icons/shocked.gif
Very cool looking.

I still don't like his new face, though images/icons/frown.gif

[xZero]

Nice, smooth & round barrels. Just the way I like them.
Looking better than I excepted.

W000000T!!

Awesome new screens. I also agree that I dont like his new face. Unless he is like 10 years older.

[Co11]

Here's a comparison from the old game to the new one...

Yeah and a geforce 2 is better than a geforce 4 mx 400 images/icons/wink.gif stillhoping it will pull thrua geforce 2 though...

i hope that my 3D Creative Blaster Ti4800 works with this, my only prob is the my RAM, only 256Mb´s, Rimms images/icons/tongue.gif images/icons/tongue.gif

Mayur, I think its time to upgrade for this upcoming generation of games, even if a geforce2 can boot the game without crashing , it wont be pretty.

My Geforce 2 gts is limping along in every new application. 32mb is just not enough ram on a vid card these days.

I need an upgrade before all the games this fall/winter come out!

It would be weird if they were going about making a Max Payne movie, and they were changing the look in MP2 to look more like what an actor playing Max might or does look like.

[biXen]

Have they even confirmed inclusion of graphic novels? Well if they are there I'm sure there's a new twist to them.

[FullMetalJacket]

Look at the one A_Smith posted of the dude with the AK-47 getting shot and falling back.

There's squibs!!! Visible squibs as the guy's arm and leg take rounds.

I love squibs -- ergo, the leaving of a hole in an enemy's body wherever he's shot. Right now, only SOF1 and 2, Hitman1, and updated versions of SWAT3 have them. I don't know why they're so hard to incorporate.

But they're a major part of action movies!!! A guy gets shot, and he falls back in slow motion as a hole's blown in his chest and blood spurts out of it. images/icons/grin.gif

Now when can we see some official screens and videos? images/icons/tongue.gif

[Nessus]

Do you think they jakced up the color vibrancy on those screenshots or is the game itself that vibrant? I hope it is because Max 1 was always a bit bland in the color department, I used to use aggressive color correction to get some saturation in the game.

[Akari]

Looking more like a movie images/icons/smile.gif But in the first shot, the bald guy's arm has a vertex showing though the coat. Tst, Tst, Rem, please fix this. I am glad to see that the face UVMAPS aren't so obvious seperated. Good job.

[mullen]

looks awesome! But i still prefer the old max....

I hope they'll manage to get black to be black and white to be white without it being too dark or too bright. Most games mess that up and you have to play around with gamma settings and shit.

[Soilwork]

Awesome work boys, looks great!!

Looks awesome, I don't like the new muzzle flashes though, but oh well.

[The Baskinator]

Oh, w00t. graemlins/love.gif MAX PAYNE 2 graemlins/love.gif

[LeadBullet]

Looks cool but I think its lame that of all companies that 3DR\Remedy have the Max payne shots out only in the magazines, and haven't posted the real things online.

[ADM]

I agree with that LB, especially since they both have a heavy online community, more so then offline I'm guessing.

[LeadBullet]

Well poor choice of words, I think instead of "lame", I'd say that I was just more suprised at what they had done.

I think the old DNF screens were seen first in PC Gamer, but a few days later they posted the full res images.

[Marvel]

"Originally posted by Froz:

Perhaps because it's a temp model? images/icons/smile.gif I.e. it looks a bit different now, so no need to worry.

Looks great, the scene with the dumpster and graffitii looks very authentic. I never much cared for the graffitii in MAX1, it was repitive and not what you see mostly around the city, the **** the cops graffiti is more authentic.

Very nice screenshots.

I like more the *new* Max Payne

But, how in the hell his tie doesn't move when he falls in "bullet time"?

[ADM]

^^
how do you know right now? They're only screenshots, wait until some movies come out.

[KillJoy]

His tie is not a separate entity. It is a texture on his shirt. Look at all the pics. Tie is in the same spot. However, when he is diving in one of the screens, it looks like it is tucked in to his pants:

http://theposse.maxpayneheadquarters.com/mp2screens/mp2_06.jpg

[Mongorian]

I'm hoping that the tie has physics and that the shots are from old builds. No harm in hoping, right? images/icons/grin.gif

[ADM]

I hope the same too but it's too early right now to even see all the features.

[Devil Master]

I'm SO looking forward to replace that horrid face with the REAL face of Max Payne...

That's why it's always hell when I design something on my monitor just to see that it looks weird on average Joe's screen, so I gotta adjust for ages. I also remember the GF card I used to have had insane gamma defaults.

is it just me, or does he look kinda sad in the first picture?

I hope Max goes on a few more drug trips in this one also. That would be really nice with all the new effects and whatever.

Remedy guys, you made a damm good work on the first game, and as ive seen so far, your doing it again! Keep the good work...

[biXen]

Yep, the tie is stuck, that's pretty obvious. Limiting the amount of physics also limits the drag on the system requirements.

It is possible that those are old shots. Like the mis-skinned AK47 was said to be fixed (word of skaven, or mika, or joe; one of the moderators)

Who knows. Maybe someone will comment on this?!
**Winks at moderators**

[biXen]

Oh Doom 3 isn't done yet? Neither is Max Payne 2 you fool.

The graphics technology in itself is obviously OBVIOUSLY not better in Max Payne 2, or even Half-Life 2. But Remedy and Valve is making games, not engines, and they are much better in making stuff to their need, that's why Half-Life 2 and Max Payne 2 actually looks real, and Doom 3 looks like some prerendered stuff with a lot of "cool" effects. Half of you won't even dare to play through it I bet images/icons/grin.gif

[Reaper978]

^^^^
you would know this because you just happened to see doom 3 in its current state as of now? Wtf are you calling me a fool for? Id made the game to have the best graphics out there, I dont think they are going to allow anything to top it.

[KillJoy]

I would say that Doom has by far the best shader engine that exists or will exist for a while.

As far as realism goes, however, I would put Half Life 2 and max payne 2 above Doom.
