I had forgotten that Remedy had sold the rights to Max Payne.
Which is actually a good thing, since at least they won't be able to say:
"This game is going to be a PC exclusive",
followed by:
"This game is going to be on every single platform. Except the PC, of course. We'd never do anything like that.".
I'm also guessing that the Take-Two's version will not avoid any connections in every way they can, to Finland.

Well, she also "died" in part one as well, if I remember correctly. I am not sure that proves anything...Art Axiv said:
OT: Well, it will be interesting to see what the game is like after all these years, but I don't think it will be as good as the originals. An integral part of the Max Payne experience was the heavy noir influences, and I am not sure placing it in a place like Sao Paulo will be able to give it the same "vibe". Or I could just be a blithering fanboy blinded by nostalgia. There is always that possibility.
I liked the fat, bald, bearded look of Max; it had a very 'life happens' feel to it. He's older, let himself go and depressed; I find that story very appealing. What I didn't like was the setting; a jungle? Really? Max Payne has always been very noire urban, the setting didn't fit. But I feel that his initial design did.
*Spoilers*
That being said I feel like the fat, bald, beard look would have worked better for the 2nd game since at the end of the first he finally gets his revenge and it doesn't change how he feels. In the 2nd he seemed very depressed, his fight had accomplished nothing. But by the end of it he comes to terms with it all so I feel like the 3rd one should have a more 'at peace' Max Payne. Anyway, that's just my take.

Opinion 1: Yay, they're making a new Max Payne! I loved that series!
Opinion 2: Oh COCK. The film already killed the series... Now they're making a new game with a different writer to dig it up and violate it even more?
I'm worried. That's all I have to say.

Yay for fans being narrow-minded, unadventurous twats demanding conform to the status quo.
It's always nice to have another Sam Fisher.

Do you mean hobo-Max, or are you talking about the first Conviction design for Sam Fisher? Because I liked that too. He turned into Vincent from Collateral in the final version which, whilst fucking cool, didn't really look like Sam Fisher. He's like a 6'0" fucking bear in Double Agent, yet he seems to lose height and retain a perfectly muscular (*he says matter-of-factly, and certainly not homoerotically*) body in Conviction.Irridium said:

The picture you guys have up is of a grunt I assume, or a story character. And Max's facial features are remarkably similar to what they were in Max Payne 2, so you can see the one with hair isn't him:
The real life guy is the guy who portrayed Max in the second game, and I think he's posing for a cutscene or a promo shot there, and the one overlaying it is a promotional artwork for Max Payne 3. Exactly same, just beardier and baldier.

See above.Tdc2182 said:
I was just about to mention how misleading this article is, considering that the two screenshots show him with AND without hair. I was actually looking forward to this game because he looked like an overweight mess. It makes him look more realistic considering what he had been through. I hope the picture with hair is some sort of flashback level or something.Woodsey said:
Balding-train-wreck-Max made sense, if you thought about it. The man was completely physically and mentally devastated, hooked on painkillers and unable to deal with the death of the two most important women in his life (though we'll have to wait and see about Mona). Without his job as a cop to anchor him, I could completely see how he'd just up and let himself go.
Jungle? São Paulo is the 6th largest city in the world. I've been there and i can say that, if they do it right, they can do justice to max payne 1 and 2.dagens24 said:
I just hope Max won't be killing drug dealers in favelas. Modern warfare 2 and other games did that already.
