hmm, maybe we can put the revenge story back on mp2 but now it's max's brother, his brother yeah, max hear that his brother is in big trouble, he started to make deals with the syndicate, now the syndicate want to kill him, because he cheated them .. maybe that can be a start. so max payne is back on buisness to help his brother. um or who knows they already killed his brother so max starts again a 1 men war again the syndicate, the syndicate is the real org. behind V. and this can keep the story on..

let's see but i hope remedy release mp 2.. i beg.

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

*rocking back and forth* Make it stop, Mommy...make paragraph breaks start...it hurts...it hurts...

I agree that there shouldn't be a Max Payne sequel (at least not one where you play as Max, although then the title wouldn't make much sense). I feel the game should've ended with Max ending his pain by throwing himself off the building before being arrested. Don't get me wrong, I think his character is great but that's how I saw it ending. The man had nothing more to live for after avenging the death of his loved ones and was probably about to be sentenced to death anyways.
Of course, most gamers would rather have Max return no matter how cheesy the plot they come up with and the developers, publishers, etc want him back so they can milk the ca$$$h cow one more time. I'll be honest though, being a hardcore gamer no matter what I'll play the sequel too and probably really enjoy it. I just think it would've been better to carry on that style of game with a fresh new character.

Sam Lake (our writer) knows his stuff. I can say you shouldn't be so worried about how the story will continue.

George Broussard · 05-22-2002, 11:38 PM

I'll echo Skaven's comments. I've read Sam's Max 2 outline and plot synopsis and it's great.

How about a little faith guys? Surely you want more Max to play, right?

Max Payne 2 is gonna be great, I have total faith in Remedy, and once again I think I must beat the message into people's heads... MAX PAYNE OWNS ALL!!!

Max is in prison, Woden is trying to get him out, Max past as a cop is now open knowledge but he was convicted to life because of the body count and he'd probably be killed in prison but now he's become a Keyser Soze himself after wiping out a large part of the mob- a spook story. But Max knows the attack on his life will come. He just doesn't know who. He's working out all alone in the gym when his own prison guards attack. Max beats them, grabs a rifle, escapes and that's just the introduction.

A year later he's with the russian and he's still tracking down valkyr and somebody else who is making it. He hears of Valkyr 2 on the streets, a more potent version of the drug and it becomes a race against time to stop it.

sawn_off · 05-23-2002, 01:46 AM

Um, the whole Woden springs Max thing is OBVIOUS.

I honestly don't need or want a sequel to MP,
it's just a cash grab for the developers. I'd
rather just make and play mods for the original. Look how long Half Life lasted just
on amateur mods, hell it's still going.

PageFault · 05-30-2002, 12:32 AM

I just can't see the story not being cheesy considering the situation Max ended in. However, I'm sure I'll be quite pleased if I'm proven wrong. Either way good story or not I'm sure the gameplay will rock.

0marTheZealot · 05-30-2002, 01:16 AM

Maxy isn't uber gangster guys...

so anything with him becoming kingpin is rong with an R.

Him fighting for the good of the country? NO THX. We have enough heroes, we need some anti-heroes. Max was the perfect one.

1. He killed people remorselessly.
2. He wanted revenge, and the best kind, not some panzy ass LETS GET HER CUZ YOUNG KIDS ARE KEELING EECH OTHER^.^!!
3. He shot Lupino when he went down, thas awesome.

Honestly, I don't see why Max would get off in the first place. Everyone he killed wasn't guilty. Those security guards? Cold blooded murdor. The suits? I don't think they all killed someone. The police letting him go because Wooden aks them? NO THX. Like I said, the plot will be contrived, unless it's a prequel. I'm really not looking forward to MP2, like I was looking to MP.

And whats the new gimmick

Don't give me crap about Vladmir wanting to get rid of V. He probably profits just as much as Punchinello did. Remember, Vladmir's hands aren't kleen either.

Only thing I see is that some partner of Punchinello or Horne wanting revenge. But that is so cliche~ Being original was all about MP (style/graphics of game, the bullet time etc).

ANYWAYS, GG 3drealms, Doom III is around the corner

Nothing will be able to compete with it until DoomIV. It's going to be to FPS's what StarCraft was to RTS's. THere has been no RTS able to compete with SC at all. Just look at the progamers in Korea. No other game has that kind of publicity anywhere.
