Max Payne 2 shouldn\'t be made
The story will seriously feel forced and contrived. He's already killed 600 people, I don't think the Police Department will just let him go.

I honestly don't think there should be a Max Payne 2.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">It's not like he killed the good guys. He killed drug lords, mafia members, gangs, assassins, and corrupt business people. Although I would like to see how Max Payne is going to get out of this mess. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

BTW, a thread a while back determined there were about 663 people killed in the game.

Re: Max Payne 2 shouldn\'t be made
Besides. Max grabbed the tape of "One-Eyed-Alfred" and Candy Dawn or "collateral". So if Woden didn't wipe Max's slate clean, Max could show 'em the tape. All in all Max should go free and become an urban hero like The Punisher. He could team up with D'arci Stern and Roper Macintyre from Urban Chaos! [img]graemlins/tinyted.gif[/img]

Re: Max Payne 2 shouldn\'t be made
regardless of what Max Payne has of Alfred, I don't feel that the story will be anywhere as good as this ones.

Think about it, what in the hell is he gonna do after he gets out? Vigilante style? He already avenged his kid and wife's death. What now? He's gonna do it, cuz it's the right thing? Nah I don't think that makes a good story.

Re: Max Payne 2 shouldn\'t be made
Max Payne never went out looking for trouble, trouble went looking for him. (Boy that sounded silly [img]images/icons/tongue.gif[/img] ) What that means is a lot of enemies will be mad at Max for killing their partners and such, so they might go and try to take him out. Plus, Vladmir is still alive and Mona may still be living. I'm pretty sure Mona survived, otherwise she could just come back as a super human mutant cyborg coming back for revenge.

Have sequels ever had any very cool story's? It's all revenge baby... just look at Deathwish [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

They always find loopholes to continue the story's. I found one in T2, Arnold's arm was left in that crusher, probably some parts there they can use. There's always ways [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Re: Max Payne 2 shouldn\'t be made
If there is a second Payne he will probably start off in prison, then do a fugitive type escape. He didn't exactly collect any evidence, the quote "collecting evidence had gotten old a few hundred bullets back" says it all. Woden will probably dissapear (Max could sort him out later). Max will get out, meet up with Vladimir and discover that all he did in his first outing was just a small part of the whole V thing, and a lot of people (cue some new psycho boss) want him dead. Therefore, the golden rule with all sequals, there will a much higher body count. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

As already said Payne will be milked for all its worth - i'm dreading the film - but we can hope that the follow on games will be as good as the first.

The Dude
Re: Max Payne 2 shouldn\'t be made
I wouldn't mind having the whole 'mayor' angle covered a little more. Having him assasinated for declaring a 'war on Valkyr' seems a little underrated. I'm sure there could be an interesting sub-plot in there.

And with a product as popular as Valkyr, I'm sure someone will continue distributing it. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] Why Max will care, I don't know, but it's a start.

Re: Max Payne 2 shouldn\'t be made
Ya know in half-life where the sequal to it (opposing force) had you in command of another person? Well maybe the second game can have you in control of Mona Sax. Sound stupid but it could help us learn her part in it and maybe see part of a bigger conspiracy.

and who the hell would make a game about Mona when they've made a franchise of the Max Payne name? Think business people... We'll see a horde of sequels now, based purely on revenge, Deathwish only got to number 5... maybe Max Payne will go further...

Maybe Max will become a professional clown, and you have to spend the whole game entertaining snotty suburban kids at birthday parties.

If those little rugrats get outta hand...KA-BLAMMO!

I [img]graemlins/love.gif[/img] Remedy. Max Payne 2 could have a story that paralells Bebe's Kids, and I would still be "MAX PANE ADN REMMEDY NUMBAR OEN FAN!!!!!1"

Re: Max Payne 2 shouldn\'t be made
The question is, what would be Max's motivation? He's killed everyone that had a hand in killing his wife and Kid? Remember, once the bitch was dead, he dropped his Colt commando.

Max being arrested is another thing. They hold him for 48 hours and let him go. Who are the witness's? He's killed everyone and he wasn't armed when they arrested him.

They always find loopholes to continue the story's. I found one in T2, Arnold's arm was left in that crusher, probably some parts there they can use. There's always ways [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">yes i notced that aswell, but if you remeber it was the broken processor in the first one that they used to create the super computers. but who knows, i already know they are making a T:3 with arnold, and a new terminator, a women who can perform some of the same things as the T1000. its set it the future i think, i can only hope it will be a good sequel.

Re: Max Payne 2 shouldn\'t be made
Didn't bother to read the whole thread but, if there's a Max Payne 2 I think it should be,

A) Three or four years in the future. Max could have spent some time in jail or something. It could briefely be explained how he got out, but other than that, the story wouldn't have anything to do with MP 1.

B) Three or four years in the past. Maybe when Max first went undercover or something.

What Omar said in his first post, it wouldn't make any sense to continue the story directly after he as arrested.

Re: Max Payne 2 shouldn\'t be made
Ok yea payne needs 2 make a multiplayer engine the sequals will come but i find it hard to beleive that they will match up to the first it realy kicks ass but thats the problem oher than a expantion i cant see it being improved, other than the multiplayer aspect the graphics are sweet the sound it brill the storyline gets a 9.9/10 but its gona deterierate. Look at toumb raider was huge wen it first came out the second and third were just as good but not brilliant the forth went downhill got too complicated and the fith is gona be total bum fluff [img]images/icons/tongue.gif[/img] the only way the story could continue 4 me is either do a 4 years in the past (already mentioned) or just give it some sort of expantion e.g. escapes from prison finds out that the woman at the top of the top security headquarters he somehow managed 2 infiltrate wasnt the only boss and has 2 kill another 1 ok this is a bit repetative but hey it would add 2 the kills. Also maybe a bit more realism has ne1 else noticed that if they just stopped the lift while max was in it with no way out he would be a sitting duck i mean how many people are stupid enough to let 1 guy with a colt commando jackhammer and M79 get all the way through a building like that its just mad - yea ok so u accept that the game has to progess somehow but couldnt he have got half way in by going undercover or something or gaining acces codes to stop cameres before he went anywere like in a lift if u had to do this they wouldnt know u were in the lift and therefore wouldnt stop it however in the present situation they must see u in the lift (supposing this high security building has a few cameres here and there) and think ahh our guy will get him at the other end blam blam o bugger look at thet he killed my head of security suprise suprise anyway i should have posted this as a new subject realy but just felt like typing alot _Megla
