What Do You Want The Storyline To Be For MP3?

[Murder]

Then i won't mention the Sadie Payne thing , btw who would you like to play Sadie if it would come to that, beside you



...and no, i'm not Mr Boll undercover

[Mariamus]

I never said I wanted to play Sadie.
She and I are, physically, very different. She's tall and I'm short, she's small-chested and I'm... not...

Who I'd like to play her?
Scarlett
I think she "kinda" looks like Sadie.

MP2 was good in that a Whopper is good. The plot was very deriative, the environments were lackluster (except for the funhouse, that was cool.) and the overall feel of the game was lacking compared to MP1. To me, the game felt like a giant excuse to showcase Havok 2 physics in slow-motion.

Plus, Sam Lake wasn't the face of Max Payne!

[Fragmeister]

M i still cant agree with you wich i wont cuz we al may have different opinions.
The environments in mp2 are very well designed and pack a lot of cool gameplay, cool events (around every corner there is a cool conversation or handeling between some ganksters)
I dont think the levels are less than mp1 (however part 2 is getting a bit repretive after a while)
Still i did like the atmosphere of mp1 more the more darker and grittier i like it.
And for the physics thats what kept me playing mp2 for years

Max Payne 3 :Redemption




[COLOR="Blue"]Hi folks I’m new at the forum and my English is not very god but I will try to do my best about that.
Now about max Payne 3 plot for me it will be something like first in the beginning of max Payne 3 like max Payne 2 having a similar option like the max Payne 2 seeing what had happen before and then in the game first it would be divided by the 3 chapters !

First chapter I would call it that old memories!!!and that would start max being helped by the cops that had founded him in the max Payne 2 saying detective pain? And then they taking him in to the hospital
and at some seconds later Mona awakes like it has from the dead she had lots of pain and a bullet carved on her spine then she opens her eyes and says "hey what a way cap call " then she hers the cop cars and afraid and thanking max may be dead and she would go to prison she gets the well out of there a little bloody and at the moments after cops and swat go in putting dead mobs in bags then one cop looks at one very familiar Russian (Vladimir) and says man this one is really



toasted looking at Vlads body the head all twisted because of the 28 meter fall and the smell of burned flesh then wee see max at hospital and then a dream episode were he is chasing Mona true the hospital and then seeing Bravura and then turns back then he lesions Bravura


saying to a nurse way cutie pie now I really need to talk to him when is he awaken? Nurse says well I really don’t now he lost a lot of blood sow it’s up to him Than a cop enters and says to Bravura sir this is the status 16 people in the morgue and 5 on site(it’s much more but just to have more credibly) its a massacre Bravura says Jesus Christ so
What about the fugitive-girl Mona Sax, Detective? All the bodies counted were all mall no female sow she’s till at large, keep the searches its gone be a long night and after they go away moments later max was lessening and says Mona’s corpse is not there am I getting crazy no Bravura just said that no female corpse was found and


she ways the only women in there is she still alive ? I got to go see it and then gets out of the bed looks to the me row and saws him self dam I’m all messed up ! he sneaks out of the building back deskised of a surgeon gets a car in we would see non like gta but like driver controling the car and getting out the cops and going back to the grotoh (this is optional first and probably wee would see fmv but it would be instersting puting that option im mind of going in the cars it would be a god inprovment but also it would be diferent i don´t but i think it would be cull to have that driv3r car lool alike graphic style at least that´s my opnion)the last level of max Payne 2, then its all duck taped he passes trout and examines the place and sees Monas blood on a plant and says strange I don’t remember this blood being here and goes throw a door a more blood and a medic kit likes been used but very recently



and then says could it be are you still alive ?" but I so who dead and then flashes on both endings so this is to explain the 2 endings in max 2 first he sees her alive and saying lets get out of hear and then seeing here collapsing on the floor and then he says is my mind playing tricks? its got to be then we play with max throw more levels throw the city and by car leading tracks and going small time mobsters woo still now woo max is and that want to kill him for the fame of killing max and then by mistake some paper on a mobs connecting bravura to


government an army’s men woo were the creators of v along Nicole Horn now dead and then wee see 3 cops colleges of max one max kicks another says what the hell’s wrong with you our insane well the take back to the hospital and max now way and then the 3 rd cop hits max whit the cop bat and max goes unconscious then we still saying were are you Mona ? then same flashback and Mona playing time wee awake and she says way what a wakeup call dam cops and she dragging and then fmv ah a med kit this will help for a will but I rely got to find a doc now then playing her dragging out of there and going to a


bar kill some gooiness and goes to Giovanni’s(a Mona`s ex-friend)girl you really need some help I call a god men to help you than she gets the bullet out of her doc goes away and still geovani makes a call yes she’s her came rite along don’t nom how much could I stall her
Here than he hangs up and Mona points him a gun in the head you were you talking to? Me to the pizza deliverer guy trying to gow to his gun and bam is brains all splattered throw the table Mona starts to investigate the calls and then knowing that a group of crooked guys of ex- project v of the government were going to kill max because of the papers then max dream level wee in the cop building going in to bravura office and killing him ! Awakes something strange the smell of metal and donuts in the air e awakens in a cell
coincidently the same one that Mona was in same yours ago seemed


that since wee was not telling everything of what happened in the groth and were was Mona that wee as lying to cops and bravura sanded him to a cell to refresh is head them a strange noise goes on the fire alarm he lessens all people outside its not a drill move our asses then we her a car then he had a lock pick uses it all in fmv andfinds way out and goes to a cabinet were is a gun and says the door beside me is sealed its made of stell there is no turning back got to face my demons and kills the guys and then Mona arrives helping him Mona your alive they kissed it´s other and then get out fore some cloues about you were the

and about the destiny of mona and max don’t now because it could be


done to be the last or not sow it could be mona shoot by bravura and hounds max deadly and max kill bravura and them collapse on the ground or max staying with mona that would not be dead only hounded for the ending opened to sequel PS:In max payne 1 when max gets invited by Alfred Wooden many guys of that society are dead but I am not sure if of those were some directly envolved but if it were I would say that the ones that would appear would be some that had survived to Nicole Horn killing or some that were never talked off:hell it´s it i´m sorry if is too big but I wanted to explain the best than I could http://forums.3drealms.com/vb/images...es/biggrin.gif

Try paragraphs next time. I think my monitor is suffering some permanent scarring from that...

[Denz]

Max Payne now owns weapon shop. So he finally gets his "unlimited ammo", and suddenly his mother gets killed. So Payne goes out for some bullet whoaring.

[Sang]

If as many years have passed from MP2 to MP3 as with MP1 to MP2, Max would be a granddad by now Bullet-Time won't work anymore since his reflexes are too slow And forget about doing some cool dodge jumps, senior Payne is too old for any of that.

[sawn_off]

So? How would old man Payne not be fun? He could carry like 24 painkillers for when he breaks a hip.

"They kept hot on my trail of bodies, bullet shells, and creamed corn cans. I had to finish this. Lawrence Welk was coming on at 9:30."

Max Payne 3: The quest for Medicare, and maybe Viagra.

wow, that is just about the latest reply I had *ever* recieved on a post...
and besides, I deny any and all allegations of Vinnie being dead. He isn't dead... NO!!!! NOOOONEVER!!!

[I Love Cookiemonster]

I think that after Max blows the brains out of the last bad guy, he should be druged and cut up with a chainsaw

I just hope POTF cut another song for the next one.

It would be cool if Max and Mona got married at the end of Max Payne 3. It would be the perfect ending. As for the plot, It should take some time in the day and night....I really don't know who the villian could be. By this point, Max has already solved the mysteries behind his family's killing.

while this is laugh-out-loud funny, i get this strange feeling that you might in the slighhtest, smallest, and most unnoticeable way (and i'm not sure, but maybe, just maybe, because i'm uncertain and dont quite know) be making fun of max payne. them is fighting words pal and i'll make you eat them if of course you were making fun of max payne in the slightest, smallest, and most unnoticeable way possible which i'm uncertain and not quite sure i you were.

[DukeNukem_ags]

first of all, i want to say that i thought max payne 2 was EXTREMELY well done. the beginning was slow - which was only to be expected to establish a more climatic ending (which it did). half-way through it became very intense and imo better than the original. the noir love story was great. i also thought that the alternate ending was just as good as the normal one.

as for max payne 3, it can be a great game if done right. but seriously, this must be the last of them.

i think one way they could go is bringing lisa back (as stated before) as a villain or something and max gets confused, thinking she is mona (who is dead).

another way (and following the alternate ending) is mona is still alive and together they have to battle some new drug boss, which mona will die towards the end.

in any case, max payne MUST die. i love max payne and i think his death would be the ultimate conclusion after his life is resolved and he would finally be able to rest and rejoin his beloved wife and his baby boy or maybe mona is who he wants.

on a seperate note, whatever happened with the max payne movie. in 2001 when the game was released it stated that a movie was well underway. it is 2006 (5 years later) and the only thing confirmed is that there are writers for the project... wtf? what is going on that took five years and absolutely no progress on the movie? if released (and done right), i believe max payne would be the biggest and best video game adaptation so far by a long shot. max payne was made to be a movie - why not make it one (instead of all this doom and tomb raider crap that they've put out, although silent hill wasnt bad)?

[Denz]

So here is the story: Payne Goes out for a walk, he suddenly walk upon a angry foot eating watermelon, and his friend master of poop arts, and he gets molested and his new mission is: seeking revenge from the angry pepper poop sucker and the wealthy kinky water melon.







In fact he just woke up of a kidnapping and was nightmaring, and you have to find out what happened to you. (and actually wonder if the molest part did really happen, because it felt so real that it came to your nightmare )

[Sang]

You know what'd be funny, if in max payne 3 max kills the last bad guy and then he just explodes out of nowhere hahahahahaha that wud be so funny and such a great ending

[Neo_b]

I think that there will be no Max Payne 3.
But I'd like it to end when Max Payne kills the last thug (yeah, like you've written Sang) and dies shot by some bad buy at end. :P

Nope. All you see is a blackened, exploded Captain Baseball Bat boy costume. MP3 can be this:
Vinnie knew they he had no other chance, since Vlad was going to set off the bomb anyway, and he quickly ripped off the costume's hat. The bomb exploded as he threw it away, mutilating his arms, and badly burning his face. He becomes.... (dum dum dum)
THE PHANTON OF THE AMUSEMENT PARK
Cut to Max and Mona. They've decided, with the billions of moneys they stole from Woden and Vlad after they died, to buy the amusement park instead of just squatting in it like bums and rebuild it and re-open it to the public, thus furthering their moneys supply. Mona Sax changes her name to Christina, and Max changes his name to whatever Christina's love interest in the Phantom of the Opera was (damn if I can remember >_>).
Vinnie plagues the amusement park, haunting the workers and patrons, demanding they build the park to his specifications- that is, filled with bitches and beer.
He then one day spots Christina (Mona), and like all bad guys in the MP universe, finds her smokin hot. He kidnaps her, plays some music for her to make her touch herself, then threatens to kill her if she doesn't abandon Max for him. She refuses to decide, so Vinnie uses his Blow'd up phantom magic to pollute the minds of the workers and patrons of the amusement park to try and kill Max. He has to fight his way across 4 zany worlds to rescue the damsel in distress! Wow!
Of course, it all comes to a climax as Max and Vinnie have a swordfight using the ragdoll bodies of two patrons on the top of the giant statue of the pink flamingo in the center of the park. It ends (as par the wishes of most of the people in this thread) with Mona getting bored watching them fight, and shoving them both off the top and into a running wood chipper waiting below.

THE END.

What about this: Timothy-Max gets shot in the face in the non-interactive prologue, but he survives. We get to play after his reconstructive surgery, so Remedy has an excuse to change his face YET AGAIN. After the surgery, lo and behold, he looks like Gary Coleman, but every game character is totally oblivious to this. And we also find Max Payne photos with badly photoshopped Gary Coleman heads over badly photoshopped Timothy Gibbs heads over the original photos with Sam Lake.

[SpinX]

As max payne is a cop who has nothing to lose, no family, no goals, he,s placed undercover in a cop unit that is corrupt, he has to seek the higher goal of this unit and therefore has to proove himself in that unit, will he slip in corruption as violence is max only satisfaction left in this world...

[step2ice]

Seriously, Max is done.
Thats probably the reason (besides a buttload of money) why Remedy sold the license.
Let him rest, I'd say.
But Max won't have that much luck I guess.
So part 3 would need to show a wrecked cop hardly living day after day.
Alone, depressed and thinking about suicide or something.
In his head he's already dead and so on.
It has to be the darkest chapter in Paynes live.
After everybody he loved is dead, his enemys are burried he feels lost and useless. He hates life and everybody around him... I guess you get the point.
A lot of opportunities to get more of the nightmare based story stuff.

And here the story could lead to two seperate ways.

a,

He gets deeper and deeper into the downward spiral till he gets finally mad/killed etc. (my favourite one and the only honest one I guess)

or

b,

Finds a good friend or woman (if you want to go for the love story thing again) who helps him out of this situation.


So the first part shows him doing some regular cop missions (taking care of drug dealers, hookers other BS while he gives his comments about it in the graphic novel), his struggle with nightmares, flashbacks, depression and so on. While on duty he sees shadows and has hallucinations of former ppl. he killed, his wife, Mona and so on. Maybe we go a little Silent Hill/The Suffering here but I always liked the nightmare stuff in Max Payne.

Then the mentioned person steps into his life.
A case begins were this person is involved into... etc.
he gets back on track and finally back to life leaving all demons behind.


It really has to be a good and honest story, film noir style.

But the third part should really end it.
I already feel very satisfied with Payne2 and as other ppl. said it before, it ended the story pretty well.

So my hopes for part 3 are not very high.

I think the story requires Max to continue on, because in all sense there isnt much sense in him living anymore, he might aswell put a gun to his own head. I think the new story should relate upon Mona recovering in hospital but gets kidnapped, and Max must save her. I also believe that the end of the story should be dramatic with them both being killed in each others arms, or if not, them both surviving. It would be to cruel for the triology to round off with one of the characters surviving and the other not, as what happened in MP2.

[Payneful Soul]

"[QUOTE=the60sproject;241462]A new Mayor has just been elected. Payne has been demoted to beat cop, and he's filing paperwork for a living. The mayor has just created a new, self-contained strike force designed for the discovery and elimination criminal elements within the city. Payne wants no part of it, but when he mistakenly picks up some paperwork where the name of the love of his life - Mona - is mentioned, his interest is piqued. On the sheet is a dossier of how the squad has tracked her, and how she's holed up in a Staten Island warehouse. Of course, on the sheet is a scheduled strike on her hideout, which will go down in about 45 minutes. Max floors it all the way over to the warehouse, where he isn't permitted entry. He catches a glimpse of Mona, but she escapes amidst an explosion of C4. Max is thrown back, but he's still hooked. The task force lets her escape, although Max tries to chase her down. A shootout ensues through city streets, with Max trying to catch her, the strike force trying to kill her. One by one, the cars drop off, till only Max is left. Mona recognizes him, uttering "Max?" before she floors it and hurtles across a traintrack. Max mumbles a "F-ck it." And floors it after her, smashing through the gate. He goes a bit too late, though, and the train smashes through his car. Fade to black.

Max flashes back to memories of Mona, parallels of his wife and flashes of Mona dying. But suddenly, glaring white light, And max is pulled back into the now. A nurse asks him if he's alright, and explains that he survived completely, save a quick concussion. She tells him that the Mayor has requested him personally, and that there's a suit waiting for him in the closet.

The Mayor calls a meeting with Max, and tells him that his new task force is almost useless. He says that while they're great at information gathering, their execution is shit. He needs the old war-dogs, and Max is the one man left who's still got it. Max is in, if he wants it.
Max refuses, but the Mayor isn't done.
He dangles Mona in front of him, giving him the Jacket that his strike force has worked up on her. Max is in.

But there's a catch. While Max is on the force hunting Mona, he's got to stop smugglers, foil Car chop shops, do drug raids, seize weapons caches, and raid hostage situations. When he plays ball, Mona is his. But if he doesn't, she gets left to the mercy of the Mayor's hit squad.

Information gathering missions should be performed on both sides of the law, with Max undercover, or Max beating the living shit out of guys, etc., etc.

And that's the beginning."



^Yo man I like this idea. You should run with this The60sProject, I would really like to hear more of this story. I like the idea of Max leading a strike team, kind of like "The Sheild". And he has the demons of Vic Mackey, and the grey area of right and wrong to. You've done a good job so far, keep up the good work man.

[dan2091]

Now it's time to collect some of the good and craziest ideas in one bunch of a drama.
First of all, Max Payne 3 would be totally in Black & White, like the real old film noir stories, (not really a good idea)

As the prologues in MP1 & 2, it's starts at the end, Max is standing in a closed and dark room, which we just don't know.
Then, back to the story as Max and Mona are still alive, they plan to live together, but she still have some nasty things to kill.
Bravura present at the Police Departmen Valerie's son (let's name him Wladys Winterson) as the new assistance for everybody. Wladys have something against this Max, and watch him every move.
At the end of the day, somebody who is a stranger to everyone goes to the office to pick up Wladys. As nobody gives a f.uck who the heck is this guy they leave him take Wladys.
Later Max goes to his new home, in which he has a tv and a DVD player and the dvd of Adresse Unknown, and it's up to us to watch the show or not.
Later as somebody's knocking at the door, Max went to see who was and was Mona supposeddly, but in fact it was Lisa, who went to kill Max.
As he was oblivious to her, he start crying and she runs away.
Suddenly a bunch of men went to kill Payne from chapter one to three.
WELL, after they try to solve the case, one day Max attempt to follow Wladys with this guy. They finish in Coney Island.
Yes Vinnie wasn't dead, neither Lisa.
Do you remember the speculations that appear in Max dreams? Both were wrong, Vinnie didn't die, and the girl who called Vlad a one armed bandit wasn't Mona, was Lisa.
But yes, Vinnie kinda lost his hair because of, maybe some cancer, produced by the explotion.
Vinnie and Wladys are planning to kick Max's a.s.s.
Suddenly everyone get bored about reading this crap and the game crashed and so the boards.

At the end, Max wake up. He's 14 years old yet. Everything from MP1 2 and 3 was a nightmare, and the TV was on at Remedy Channel, were was time for Adresse Unknown.
Momma calls Max to have a breakfast, it was a nice day. It is a ncie day.
Max: Mom.
Momma Payne: Yes son.
Max: I realize, I want to be an artist, sorry about the cop's crap I told you last nigt.
Momma Payne: Good, good my son, good.
Max: Yes momma.
And then he goes to play with mini Sadie and mini Vinnie.
mini Sadie: Mom, vinnie bite me, what a slambag.
Max: Let's go Sadie, there's no sense into feeling that way, we're jsut children.
END (play's Late good morning by POTF)

Don't know how much this'll mean now ,but since those infamous pics of Max Payne so long ago i've still been a HUGE fan. Stranglehold by John Woo (on Xbox360) reminds so much of when I was shoot diving in MP2. I will forever buy anything from Remedy (includiong Alan Wake) 'cause they know what a consumer wants. Visceral fun that's easily accesible...

well it seems max payne 3 is finally in the works.. WOOT.

[Morry]

From how the story is at the moment, I don't think a sequel can really be successfully done. You really only have Max and Mona as the only remaining original characters.
There is enough material to play Mona's storyline throughout the series, though it's more something that should be done as a mod.

My advice would be to leave the series as is. You can still do a game with all the same features, but I really believe that Max's journey through the night is over.

The ending they should use is the first one. That'd be nice. How about that guy in the office who murdered the pizza boy and his wife goes on a rampage and Max has to stop him? Did anyone else listen to the whole conversation? It was funny.
