Max Payne 3 - Page 2

Same news, but they mention other titles as well which R* says are going to fully "leveraged". Two of these made me excited, one being Red Dead Revolver, and the other being Manhunt. A next gen Manhunt would kick ass.

03-12-2008, 10:40 PM

Sources seem to be pointing towards a PS3 & X360 release. I guess Take was impressed that Stranglehold sold 1 million copies and decided to bring Max back from the dead. Too bad it's exclusive to the consoles:

ADM · 03-12-2008, 10:50 PM

Doesn't really mention any console exclusivity.

Morry · 03-12-2008, 11:43 PM

If you cut off the PC, you lose the wonderful world of mods...bad move when you consider the Max Payne franchise.

03-13-2008, 04:00 AM

Was Max Payne ever good in mods in the first place?

Kennerado · 03-13-2008, 07:19 AM

Kung Foo mod comes to mind.

Morry · 03-13-2008, 07:33 AM

Did you ever try the Kung Fu mod?
Not to mention Remedy releasing all the necessary mod tools for free.

ADM · 03-13-2008, 08:00 AM

Katana was an awesome Max Payne mod

So yeah I think it's quite handy for them to release mod tools for it.

Either way I wouldn't be too pissed off if they didn't release them.

Yeah, I remember that one. That was the only mod that I kept coming too.

8IronBob · 03-13-2008, 08:08 AM

Right, ever since 3DR was involved with the MP franchise, they've always made sure Remedy included the mod tools to fit their model in allowing the end-user to make their own addons. Never really did get into MaxED that much, since today's mods and map editors are far too complex anymore... The only map editor(s) that I really got into was(were) Build and maybe qED for Quake/Q2.

Anyway, I'm hoping that if MP3 does do map editing, that it be made easier for the end-user to make their own addons.

Uh what? 3DR didn't make Remedy include the mod tools.

Now that we know that Max Payne 3 is coming (YES!) What is the story going to be, and I wonder if the graphics will be Duke Nukem Forever style.

Waiter · 03-16-2008, 02:18 PM

Any good 3D game that goes console only makes me waht to nuke a small city somewhere.

Sang · 03-16-2008, 03:19 PM

Wondering if they'll make it a sci-fi FPS

Assuming they'll make it TPS it'll probably have a covering and targeting system, you know, to make the game appeal more to the masses

Right. But as ADM said, it's not confirmed to be console exclusive (it may be on the PC as well as the 360 and PS3 or ported later).

EDIT: And who said it would be a good game?

I must check out the Katana and Kung-fu mods at some point before MP3.

These words are for the developers whoever are (I hope) going to make Max Payne 3. Things that you should do in Max Payne 3:

1: First of all, change the post of Rockstar Games. Or whoever did those changes in Max Payne's character. Give us Sam Lake back. It's a game not Hollywood where these picture perfect guys are the main factor. Sam Lake is the only one who looks like Max Payne. Yeah, we have seen Max Payne. Whoever really played the game will agree with me. It's about that careless smile and fading seriousness. I don't know why you did this guys.
2: Ok, now. Improve the physics. Maybe it goes with the new actor (I don't wanna know his name) that if he bumps into those big boxes they all fall because he is so overweight that he walks like he is joking as if he is a monkey.
3: Improve Max's running.
4: We haven't seen Mona Sax fully. Please, this weirdly aunt-looking woman can't be Mona?
5: Improve story pace.
6: Just a plain request, if you have to then use all the same settings of Max Payne 1. I'm happy with that. Just make this part as memorable as part 1. Please, it's a request.
7: Improve Max's jacket's movement & thickness near the edges. It looks like a girl's skirt.

Please do these changes.

For the people here.
Guys, can we make the developers see these demands somehow? Can you tell me a way. I'm currently trying to run this website I made some days back. www.valkyrpayne.blogspot.com. If you guys would like to contribute I'd be happy. But somehow we have to get the real Max Payne game back. These are so many things that made the last game a suck3r.

ADM · 03-24-2008, 04:13 AM

Well there are no developers announced for Max Payne 3 so it's impossible for anyone to get them to see at this stage.

As for a majority of your points, Remedy fully intended Max Payne 2's characters to be the true looks of the characters. Budget was tight in the first game and that's why several characters of that game were simply the people working at Remedy.

alexgk · 04-18-2008, 07:48 AM

It's a shame several years still have to pass before seeing anything new of this series. Max Payne rocks.

That's entirely up to Rockstar. Their last comments were pretty cryptic: "We will sell no wine before its time".

Dunedain · 05-03-2008, 10:50 AM

I told you guys there would be a Max Payne III.

There's no way Take Two is going to spend that kind of money buying the rights to a game and then do absolutely nothing with it. So Max Payne III is either already being worked on (hopefully secretly by Remedy), or maybe Take Two is waiting until the movie release gets closer so they can sell the game rights for a better price. If they are selling the rights, then hopefully either Remedy or 3D Realms will be the ones that buy it and get to work on Max Payne III right away.

Oh, and Remedy would have had Same Lake as Max Payne again in Max Payne II if it weren't for the interference of Take Two. If Remedy or 3DR gets the rights to Max Payne from Take Two, then Same Lake will no doubt be right back as Max Payne. Which is the way it should be, Same Lake *is* Max Payne!

Altered Reality · 05-03-2008, 12:42 PM

I wonder if the bullet time will still be called like that, now that "Bullet Time" is a Warner Bros trademark.
Maybe they'll call it "focus" like Enter the Matrix did

Why on earth would 3DR/Remedy buy back an IP they just sold and always intended to sell? I very much doubt they would be using any developers as characters in another Max Payne either. It's not like Take Two forced them to use professional actors in MP2.

K100 · 05-03-2008, 06:47 PM

Same Lake don't want to play Max Payne again. He refuse to play in max payne 2 so I think he is not apear in Max Payne 3.

ash678 · 05-05-2008, 06:46 PM

The June issue of EGM will soon begin arriving in subscribers' mailboxes, despite the fact that everyone's fully aware it's only April. But quit debating temporal accuracy and start soaking in the latest down 'n' dirty industry gossip from Quartermann's routinely reliable Rumor Mill.

Just as Grand Theft Auto IV prepares to kick off the hooker-beating season, we hear that publisher Rockstar has plenty of other projects in the works. Max Payne 3 and Red Dead Revolver 2 are headed to both Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, as is the previously PS3-only gumshoe adventure L.A. Noire. Also, a massively multiplayer extension of the GTA universe is in the early stages of development

Yeah, ignoring a "moral" point of view here - establishing a new IP and then selling it later for a huuuuuuuuuge profit is one of the awesomest things one can do in life. Of course you'd be betraying fans and all but **** THEM!

Dunedain · 05-08-2008, 12:21 AM

Actually, when asked, Remedy did say that Take Two is the reason Sam Lake wasn't Max in Max Payne II. There was also a "nice" (read: diplomatic) version of the explanation that they gave for why it happened, but it was just that, being diplomatic. The real reason was Take Two's interference. This was all discussed at the time.

Anyhow, here's looking forward to Max Payne III (hopefully made by Remedy)!

Not going to happen. Remedy is solely focused on Alan Wake at the moment. Take 2 has the rights to the game and rumours are that Rockstar has been working on it, so if anything, expect an announcement in the next couple of months.

Maddieman · 05-09-2008, 11:06 AM

Interesting news about Max Payne 3. I'm not sure it'll be the same without Remedy though.

Max Payne 3 will be about Max's new life, and how he tried to settle down, in little cottage in the country. far away from everybody else. but the Mafia where going to get him back. they track his house down, kill his new wife when he was out taking a stroll.

After a brutal encounter with the men goes on a drinking binge, to try to forget. He goes after the Mafia for revenge. He goes on a killing rampage, after he kills every last one of them, he finally dies from his wounds.

Max Payne 3 the Death of Max Payne.

Killing his family again would be completely idiotic though.

Sang · 08-09-2008, 09:05 AM

but seriously make it 20 times better than stranglehold.....or else i will rick roll you like never before!

i hope they DONT bring back those stupid nightmare levels.....and leave out the RUN AWAY FROM THE FIRE levels as well.....

They clearly seperate "MAX PAYNE 3" from "NEW PS3 EXCLUSIVE," but that didn't stop thissun. Great larf.

But, I liked those nightmare levels... They had a lot of hidden and well obvious subliminal messaging in them that conveyed to the story very well.
And they enhanced the dark and gritty atmosphere also, if they make a Max Payne 3 they should add nightmare levels and perhaps have some more surrealism like in FEAR with the sudden room-disappearing-reappearing stuff and the odd never ending corridor stuff.

3D Realms and Remedy sold the Max Payne IP rights to Take Two in 2002, so neither of them will be involved in Max Payne 3.
