Here it is, the very first trailer for Max Payne 3. The long-in-development action game from Rockstar is coming out in March, and this video gives us a first look into how it's come along.

Yes, bald and bearded Max is still in the game, drinking his troubles away in Sao Paulo, Brazil. While the change of scenery may offend some fans, the return of Max Payne's incredible theme song, along with the noir-inspired narration, goes a long way in reviving our nostalgic memories of the first games.
