Ok, so I've seen all the MP2 screenshots, they are amazing but I would like to see a real gameplay screenshot aswell, maybe with the HUD included, any chances remedy?

As I think it would be nice to some of them without customized (dirrectors cut) screenshots that possibly aren't available in-game, that of course unless remedy has done some serious camera control work (still hoping for a "replay" function)

oh well maybe the trailer will reveal more about that...

We saw no screens with the actual HUD until literally just a few days before the first game's release....I don't see how it'll be different here. images/icons/smile.gif

Yeah I don't think they want others to rip off their HUD ideas.

cmon this is marketing. i'm sure real ingame shots with hud and the final 3rd person view don't look as awesome and impressive as those with customized cam-angle.
i'm sure the new improved bullettime and gameplay will make it look and feel superior ingame and in motion, but for screenshots they rather want to stick with those extraordinary cam angles and without hud.

Well there was actual game play video from 98 images/icons/wink.gif (I think)

The HUD is inconsequential. Besides, we all know what a standard shooter HUD looks like, so what would be the point showing it? I'd just distract from the pretty screenshots.

The Doom 3 Multiplayer screenshots from Quakceon had a picture of the hud. The E3 2003 trailer for Doom 3 features the hud. Hopefully the Max Payne 2 trailer will reveal it. images/icons/smile.gif

The original mp hud was good but a bit plain. It would be great if for mp2 they made it more transparent and discrete. Maybe throw in a little animation for flash, but not too much.

Oh and that tiny dot for the crosshair was perfect I hope that wasn't changed.

Won't be any replay me thinks, they already explained why a thousand times. (involves coding changes, much the same ones coding multiplayer involves)

I hope the HUD is minimalist like in the first game, and I hope the crosshair is still a dot too. Huge, X-shaped crosshairs and a complicated, colorful HUD detract from the game's cinematic nature, IMHO. I always thought Remedy wanted Max to be as un-gamey (if that's a word) as possible, and be more like living in an action movie. images/icons/smile.gif
