and about the 'aim at 2 directions' thing people 'discovered' in the teaser, i don't think this is gonna happen. it was just the beginning of the animation in the teaser, he was prolly about to put his hands together and then shoot.
the only way it would work would be with auto-aim, which would be kinda lame if you ask me, coz it would end up for mp2 being more of a arcade shooter (just like enter the matrix game was) than a realistic game. ah well, lets just wait 1 more bloody month and find out for ourselves images/icons/grin.gif

There's many things, kicking doors open, new moves, there's a lot of smaller things we've seen and probably some bigger things. Wait and see, boring to know it all now anyway.

[megarust]

Well lets think of it this way. If we were the developers, what would we try as hard as we can to integrate into a max payne sequel? What improvements would we make?

[asker]

From what we saw in the trailer, it's like the difference between Tribes and Tribes 2: same game, same gameplay, higher poly, and very little else that isn't available for free from a bunch of mods.

I'm still hoping to be impressed when we see more, though.

Actually, it would be possible to aim twice with two pistols, and not auto aim. You could aim at one guy, then hold down, lets say the right mouse button, and then you could aim the one in your left hand. Just saying you prolly could. And auto aim ain't bad, unless it's not cool. Auto aim is bad for FPS, but for a 3rd, I will make a BIG exception.

All right guys 'n' gals... I'm gonna spill the beans on one gorgeous, juicy feature I know you're gonna love and drool bucketfuls over.

One of the new features in Max Payne 2 is...

<suspense music>
<drum roll.....>

SUBTITLES!

<drum fill>

Yes, you heard it right! Max Payne 2 has subtitles! If you happen to not hear what they're saying, you can now read what they're saying.

[SkavenRMD]

But seriously folks... there's oodles of bigger and smaller improvements everywhere. It's a bigger, prettier, smoother, more fun experience overall. The core gameplay hasn't changed much, but it has improved in many ways.

The difference between Max Payne and Max Payne 2 is very much like the difference between GTA III and GTA: VC.

[TBZ]

Umm... Were you serious about the subtitle thing or was you just fooling around? images/icons/smile.gif . Subtitles would so rock images/icons/grin.gif .

[SkavenRMD]

I kid you not. Max Payne 2 has subtitles during cutscenes and in-game voiceovers (which can be disabled if desired, of course).

The tone of the post was "funnay" mainly because of the fact that subtitles aren't the kind of feature most people would expect or request first off - but are something you appreciate when they're there. A so called bread & butter feature.

Max in the 80's? I like! images/icons/wink.gif

The difference between Max Payne and Max Payne 2 is very much like the difference between GTA III and GTA: VC<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">so we can ride bikes and steal cars in max payne 2?

[biXen]

I know you are joking, but you could steal cars in both of the GTA games so not really a difference, ie. not funny.

The speculation of new features is just silly, it's improved, you see the graphics is improved, if you are stupid enough to think they planned improved graphics and gameplay guys did nothing for two years, be my guest.

Why can't you just wait and see if you can't assume properly images/icons/smile.gif Ffs, asker, you are assuming stuff from a teaser trailer that barely showed any gameplay, the only info we got from it was that when girls kiss, their ponytails might get a lil excited...

[KillJoy]

I noticed that too. She has a case of Hard Pony Tail Syndrome or HPTS.

Yes! I love subtitles! It'll make the Easter Eggs in the second game funnier...after all, in the secret room in the first game, with the TV that played the Star Trek parody, I could barely understand a word that the guy that was supposed to be Scotty was saying. images/icons/tongue.gif

Oh, that remark "somehow" reminds me: Max Payne 2 will also feature... language. The kind of language that gets ****s over here. images/icons/grin.gif

I know max payne 2 will be prettier... but what other kinds of features will the combat give... besides the mysterious Bullet Time 2.0... which, I don't want to sound faithless... sounds kind of like... "YEAH! It's bullet time TWO POINT ZERO! it's better then slowing down in ONE point zero." I really don't know HOW it can be different, but if it can, I'm wrong. I WANT to be proven wrong, but I don't want to pay 50 to find out there isn't much new. I know I sound scepticle, but it's my job. But the question at hand is... what kind of new things can you do in combat... Aim at 2 people, fire each gun individually, kick peoples guns outa their hands... prolly brought up alot. The main problem I had with MP1, is... really, it was dive, shoot, dive shoot, dive shoot... you couldn't even stay on the ground long. I guess I would like to stay on the ground, roll around, and blow people away, via Riggs style

Check the demo when it comes out and decide for yourself.

Yay, subtitles images/icons/smile.gif
