Max Payne 2 announced - Page 2

well to me it seems to be the most impressive horror FPS ever. If you aren't impressed then by all means don't be. I sure as hell am

Rumours are that The Viper often rolls over this easily...

Skaven: So you won't use Sam Lake for Max Payne 2? That sucks, I hate changing actors, that's the sign of a bad movie, changing actors for the sequel, that's like swapping Arnold in T3 for Vin Diesel... ugh... the horror... the HORROR!!!

In my opinion, just less and less people will buy MP2 with new actor. And will it be MAX PAYNE? MP has done plastic operation...

Actually nothing in this regard has yet been nailed down. I just couldn't resist telling a stupid joke. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

And remember: Speculation is futile™. [img]graemlins/wid.gif[/img]

fractalgp · 05-24-2002, 10:36 AM

Futility is not an obstacle.

oh, and bix: Vin Diesel r0x0rz your s0x0rz, OK? [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

biXen · 05-24-2002, 12:15 PM

Vin Diesel is an average actor which happened to be chosen to be a "star". Man that movie XXX that's coming with him looks like total trash. Bah... [img]images/icons/tongue.gif[/img]

Well Skaven old friend, I'll pin it down for ya, Sam Lake IS Max Payne, and you tell those other bastichs that if that doesn't happen then you ain't comin to my place for them ho's anymore... doh, I've been playing GTA3 a bit too much, excuse me... I'll go back to playing...

sawn_off · 05-24-2002, 01:13 PM

Oh no! No Sam Lake? Not even for the comic scenes? Baskinator will kill us!

sawn_off · 05-24-2002, 01:19 PM

Max Payne 2 should use the Quake 3 engine. Or maybe DNF [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Anyway, it should NOT use the Quake 3 Arena engine like Jedi Knight 2, as I STILL don't understand jack about QE Radiant. I don't know how people can call it "easy to mod". Maybe I just need time. And add some better Beretta sounds! I hear the sounds in Hitman were very realistic.

Tonebender · 05-24-2002, 03:21 PM

So development of MP2 starts now? I thought, since MP1 took so long to make, Remedy were already finishing the sequel before the first game came out. Then MP2 would come out in about six months after MP1, when the reviewers were moving on to other games... [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

I sure hope this is a sarcastic comment. DNF uses the Unreal engine. And why would Max Payne 2 use a worse engine than MAX-FX? [img]images/icons/tongue.gif[/img]

MaxED is also superior to QE Radiant and whatever those other thingies are, the possibilities are endless... In 200 years when I master it I'll rule [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

sawn_off · 05-25-2002, 03:33 PM

I WAS joking about using the Quake 3 Arena engine. Obiously the DNF bitz0rz was a crack. Anyways, I'd hope to see a slightly modified MaxED. And It'd be nice if they could clear some of the road for modders.

Gryph · 05-28-2002, 10:22 PM

My life is now officially gone till the game is done.

Yes. The Supah Sekrit Rewlz of the L33t include (among others) the following statements:

Every game must compete with, and be compared to DOOM. This rewl was recently revised, the previous entrant being Quake, and the entrant before that DOOM.
Every game must have multiplayer or it sux0rz. If DOOM 3 will not have multiplayer, this rewl will be revised.
Every consequent game must immediately have the fancy feature that is present in some new game, such as GeoMod, or it will sux0rz, since the feature is now "standard". Except if the game is DOOM.
If you need better hardware to play the game, it sux0rz - unless the game is DOOM, in which case you must immediately buy new hardware to play it or you sux0rz.
If the game crashes due to overclocking, the game sux0rz. Except if the game is DOOM, in which case the stoopid ovahclockah sux0rz.
The higher the texture's resolution is in the screenshots, the better the texture is. Period. Ignore all other factors.
The larger the exact number of individual weapons, levels, monsters and frames of animation, the better the game. Period. Ignore all other factors.

I'm sorry. I shouldn't be posting here when I'm feeling jaded. [img]images/icons/blush.gif[/img]
Oh yeah, the disclaimer, just in case: This post does not represent my employer's opinion. It represents my opinion.

RollingBrass · 05-29-2002, 12:02 AM

[img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
So very true, IMO.

Also, there'd better be a cod weapon in MP2. You don't want to make biXen cry, now do you?
Also, Charleton Heston should run into the scene randomly and scream something either about "Soylent Green being made of people" or "damn dirty apes," then just running off.
Moving is probably the lowest on the priority list, I would imagine.

I wonder if Max Payne 2 will incorporate some new butt technology. I remember some of the members being displeased with Max's "coned butt". [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

I'd pay another $50 for the editor,it's that great!

RollingBrass: We definately need a Cod weapon. Gotta slap those bitches into order. And I sure as hell hope Remedy doesn't steal my Heston and Darth Vader ideas, heheh... me and my stupid spoof ideas...

Skaven: The downside of Max Payne being so good is that you spent all your resources on mainly what you need for the game. Erm... the downside being that for the modders. There's no water/swimming, there's not a good outdoor optimization, and some other stuff. You should correct this now that you have the time, and mr leet Jaakko can make MaxED even better [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

SkavenRMD · 05-29-2002, 01:09 AM

Well, I can't comment more specifically yet, but since we focus on the single player experience, we have to let the game and its story dictate what kinds of things we're going to implement.

But then, this didn't stop Kenneth Yeung from adding Kung Fu to Max Payne. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

RollingBrass · 05-29-2002, 01:18 AM

My craaaaazy friend says that you guys aren't developing the game, rather it is the folks who make Smugglers Run, and that you're relation to the game is that of "supervisor" like 3D Realms with the first. Is he crazy?

I'll refrain from commenting your friends mental health, but here's how this works:

Remedy is working on the game, and the whole team is focused on making Max2 a game which pushes (again) the gameplay and tech envelope.

However, Rockstar is actively taking part in the production process. As we have access to their resources, we can push the production values even higher with stuff like character casting, photography, voice-overs and so on. They're extremely professional and efficient, so we really enjoy working with them.

3D Realms is still very involved with the game as well, with Scott and George overseeing the project.

Rama · 05-29-2002, 04:37 AM

Would Matrix be cool if you watched everything from Neo's eyes? Hell no, what does anyone want First Person view for... insane... INSANE I TELL YA!!!

A short interview with Santino, the main character in my mod NMTB:

biXen: Santino, how come you guys aren't moving your lips when you speak.

Santino: We talk with our mouths closed so that the feds can't use lipreaders.

biXen: AHH, that explains the whole thing.

Yes, but if you died, you'd stop moving. I think it was a bug. God damned lazy Remedy [img]images/icons/mad.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/tongue.gif[/img]

Ninja · 05-30-2002, 02:21 AM

If there's not a FPV option in Max Payne 2, someone will make a mod that adds it in...there's one out for Max Payne, the EEP mod I think.

Gryph · 06-01-2002, 05:49 PM

Thanks for the welcome biXen and RB! [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Well I was very pleased when I saw moving in Max Payne. I expected nothing less from Remedy.

Hey, I think Max Payne 2 should feature dual Desert Eagles and ultra-realistic gore! ;-)

Do any of you remember when Skaven told us that Sam Lake(or someone from Remedy) went to LA for business reasons...do you think the game might take place in LA...hmmm...could be.

I wonder what new cool features Remedy and Rockstar can think of to put in this game. I hope they put some of the stuff they weren't able to in the first one.

And don't worry about multiplayer guys...

Bludd · 06-01-2002, 05:58 PM

I hope Max Payne 2 will be as stylish as the original was.
