Hidden audio in Max Payne 1?

Coolgamer · 06-06-2007, 11:45 AM

I just read this online: "Originally the scene of the death of Max Payne's wife was to be witnessed through a cut-scene, but the developers could not get the effect they wanted with the technology available. Instead, since they had excellent voice work, they decided not to shift perspective from Max, and have him listen only to her screams as she died. The sound files for the scene are still present in the final version of the game, but are not used."

Where are these audio files? How can i listen to them?

Most of the audio is in the xenglish.ras . Other interesting deleted audio are in there too. Such as Max shouting "BB?!" and BB replies "Max, what can i tell you? I'm working for her." from a dream seqeunce.

Okay, but how do I actually access the files to play them?

You use RasMaker, but in my experience i find it much easier to use a program called MaxRas, you can find it at filefront.

If you set it up like this:

Then hit Run, you'll find the files in C:\data or wherever you choose to extract them to. I use a folder called C:\PayneX. Hope that helps
