First Max Payne 3 Screenshots Released
by Chris Faylor, Jun 23, 2009 1:06pm PDTFollowing the recent flood of details, the first screenshots from Rockstar Vancouver's Max Payne 3 have arrived, providing a better look at the aged, bald and pot-bellied protagonist.
Set 12 years after the events of Remedy's Max Payne 2 and packing a cover system that is "not the focus of the game," the anticipated sequel hits PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 this winter.

Looks to me, like Rockstar was pretty far into production of some new game-franchise, when someone approached them, offering to do the next Max Payne. They just sticked some aged Payne-Face to their already made model and showed it to the world...
Diablo 3 raised a lot of protest about its colour-palette?!? Heck... at least it still was recognizable as Diablo.
They could as well sell us this game as "Indiana Jones and the Scroll of Sao Paolo". They just took the liberty to strip Indy of his trademark hat, leather jacket and whip, aged him about 12 years, gave him a belly and there you go: A new Indy-Game!
Hooray!
Idiots...

"If you recall playing the first game.. hardly anyone does.. but i played some of it"
First of all this is Max Payne 3, that means there were TWO titles in the series before this one, and I along with many readers remember this game all too well.
Second of all the photo realistic graphics created quite a little stir before it's release, and after a few delays it was still on the most wanted lists for many gamers including myself. Keep in mind the Matrix which came out in 1999 (which coincidentally is the year you were born) was still very fresh in people mind so the idea to slow down time and unload a clip into someone while you're diving for cover was VERY cool.
And lastly, as someone who claims they only played some of it, it clearly labels you as someone who has no idea about what he's talking about.
NO open world, NO mini games and Rockstars "game interface" remains unchanged since the first 3D Grand Theft Auto (Yea there was a GTA in 2D, several of them, I bet you didn't know that either)
Ever since Rockstar bough the story line title to this game.. they were wanting to expand the ability of the gamer.. They liked 3drealms old approach of realism action... So my take is that this.. will be continued.. lot of dynamic realistic motion.. But thats like GTA IV anyways..
Which being the GTA developers who takin the game title to the shelves, you should expect an open world exploration.. Probably with some motion ability.. that give the game a fast paced, strategic edge.. like the game wanted, all though wanted being WBs game.. im jst using a rough idea here..
If you recall playing the first game.. hardly anyone does.. but i played some of it, got bored cause of all the lame graphics, but the story was interesting..
Max Payne played a agent.. sometimes his own undercover, investigator.. that never had much patience for the trash of society.. already uncovering his wifes death.. he probably must be out to uncover that old super corporation plot...
Using that as a idea, or guess.. I bet.. the game will have..
1- a open world to explore, solve puzzles, find clues..
2- mini games, side missions..
3- a dynamic game play.. able to play stealthy , or play loudly..(?)
either way Rockstar knows how to make games.. Both with graphics, storylines, game interface that are usually.. like no other..
Thats what I think anyways...

The Max Payne games have ALWAYS been known for pushing the limits for graphics technology. This one just doesn't. Max Payne just all around looked amazing for the time frame. Max Payne 2 was the first retail title to come out to use Shader Model 2.0 and D3D 9. Looked amazing.
This game? Nothing.

a replay feature where you can watch your game from a cinematic view would be awesome but i'm not expecting it, especially not on the 360

SORRY ABOUT THE CAPS BUT I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS FOREVER, FLAME ON FRIENDS!!
Why are people complaining that the game is "ruined" after only a few shots? Are people just recreational pessimists?

While the shots look great, you cannot identify Max Payne from these shots at all.
This is the stuff I expect to see after 5-6 games when a series is in need of a reboot, not two games that sold some 7+ million units. I await the final game, but so far it just looks like someone wanted to do things different for the sake of doing so.

I really hope this third episode to be as good as the previous ones but above all I really really wish they include a new masterpiece song of Poets of the Fall (a rock band from Finland).

-Start a large download to eat up resources and frame rate.
-Put tape over 3/4 of your screen, for the shoulder cam.
-Start Max Payne 2. Begin a level.
-Crouch for 2-3 seconds behind every object you come across, to simulate the cover system.
Can't wait till winter!!!

Hmmp.
Right now these Max Payne 3 screenshots are putting out a strong "Hobo Tomb Raider" vibe.
