The PC version will most likely be released first in the US and maybe a week later in Europe.

The console versions.. no idea.

You can't release a PC game a month later anywhere, because by that time all the stores would have just imported the game from where it has been released. Which is why my Fallout 2 is the US version. And a couple of my other game boxes say "Not for sale outside the US/Asia/whereever".

"Developed by Remedy Entertainment, Max Payne 2: The Fall Of Max Payne for the PC is expected to hit retail shelves Fall 2003."

HUH? This year? I wasn't expecting Max Payne 2 until about 2005 - no joke.

Steve: they already have the engine, they just make new levels, story, and do improvements. Don't need 4 years to do that... Well 3DRealms would [img]images/icons/tongue.gif[/img]

Not shure if this has been said yet but... i just noticed Rockstar Games is having a hand in the making of MP2... if Rockstars helping.. this is going to be one AWSOME game... maybe we get some cars and bikes.. or maybe not..

but what im hoping for is a stripclub... yeah.. Max Payne in a stripclub with a shady guy in the cornor saying "Shake it baby" "you wanna dance?"... ahhh dreams

I see that most people are saying what I am feeling: The title "The Fall of Max Payne" is kinda Star Warsy.

So, here's an idea I brewed up after listening to a lot of hard rock....

Max Payne: The Fall

Why even add "Max Payne *2*" ? THe number 2 is kinda irrelevent, and I know that's how it's always done, but I think people can figure it out that it's a sequel. Why not just say,

The Sequel to Max Payne: The Fall of Maxy Pooh

I dunno, I kinda like it when they don't add a number, like, The Matrix: Reloaded or Dues Ex: The Invisible War.

If there's not a number, people might think it's an add-on or something.

i don't know if this is old... posted by Scott Miller:

"Regarding the game's lame title...

Blame Take-Two (a.k.a. Rockstar). Remedy and 3D Realms had named the game "The Fall of Max Payne." That's was it. No lame sequel number. Not too long. No colon. But, Take-Two, having bought the IP last year, now gets to make the final call on these matters, and their marketing department, I guess, believed that "The Fall of Max Payne" wouldn't quite get the message across, and so they prefixed "Max Payne 2:" to the title. Remedy and 3D Realms argued against this, but it's not our call anymore.

The end result is another oh-so-typical, very lame, and overly long, game title.

Scott Miller, 3DR"
