about time

I need to play MP2 first, though...

[Lateksi]

It's cool Rockstar is developing it. Because I want Alan Wake now. SOON.

[MetKiller Joe]

I can't wait. This'll be out when I'm in college. Goodbye first semester XD.

About damn time already, I loved Max Payne (especially #2), this is awesome news.

Hopefully this won't be like with MP2 though where Remedy set a release date and ended up rushing to get it done...the result was a good but too-short game.

[DrunkenSamus]

FUCK TO THE YES. This game probably has one of the best plots ever devised. And mods.

[DaneO'Roo]

OH SHIT YEAH

Think Matrix/Sin City in video game format

[Mr Buckshot]

Hell yeah, Max Payne pioneered the use of bullet time in games (I think some HL1 mod might've been first though, not sure).

What I'm hoping to see this time:
- longer campaign
- some type of multiplayer, whether co-op or versus. FEAR proved that bullet time can work in a multiplayer setting, basically just have the bullet time be a rare highly contested for powerup, just like the rocket launchers in other shooters.

And hell yeah, developed by rockstar VANCOUVER? My city :P

Duke Nukem is made by 3D Realms and Max Payne 1&2 by Remedy.

[Malloy]

Please tell me Ivan didnt get killed in #2..., sickest character.

Just my 2 cents on the bullet time of Max Payne:

I thought Max Payne 1's BT system was better than Max Payne 2's, except for one thing: it didn't auto recharge (you HAD to kill someone to recharge it - makes things quite hard at times). However the fact that Payne himself is slowed down too balances things out a bit (the only thing not slowed down is AIM - otherwise everything is slow). Max Payne 2's BT system, on the other hand, makes Payne go at totally full speed and all in addition to giving the auto recharge - way too cheap IMO. Sure MP2 had better enemy AI (especially on Dead on Arrival difficulty) but that didn't give enough balance.

Max Payne 3's BT system should be just like in the first game (slows everything, everyone, down except for Payne's aim) but with an auto recharge (which can be turned off optionally to increase difficulty).

You, sir, are missing out. Play Max Payne 1 with Kung Fu 3, you won't leave your computer until you're done with the game.
