Max Payne 3: Molotov Cocktail nevar forget
We knew it had to be coming some time, and it looks like that time is at the end of the year. (Probably following up on the recent spark from the movie release)
MTV Multiplayer ‘Max Payne 3′ Coming Winter 2009 From ‘Bully’ Developers It's in competent hands, but I have to wonder if it will lose some of its noir flavor to go more action-oriented. At least it won't be too long before we find out! (yes I am looking at you, Alan Wake) Jam it back in, in the dark. |
How could it go MORE action-oriented? The issue would be there being less proper action as both games were seminal shooters with entertaining, stylish and endlessly cool action. Exactly what was missing from the movie.
There's nowhere I can't reach. |
As much as I loved the ridiculously frangible environments in Stranglehold, it just didn't nail the shooting mechanics as well as Max Payne. So basically I'm hoping for a rerun of the second game with more debris and physics.
Unfortunately, I feel like general audiences are increasingly unwilling to embrace the hammy noir of the first two games (other than liking it in an "ironic" way), so who knows where they'll go with the tone. I'd be pleased if the next installment is just more of the same. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
People don't describe Psychonauts as a "seminal platformer," so... (I mean, as long as we're talking about what was missing from the movie, let's just get it all out here) I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Bully was the fucking shit. Too bad they aren't releasing a Bully 2 instead.
I was speaking idiomatically. |
Is it just me or do we not usually see the announcement of a game 6 months prior to release. Have they said how long they have really been developing the engine, etcetera? I know they have been thinking of making it forever, and probably doing concept art, but I can't help feel a little worried. Love the first two and I don't want to see some Madden development time.
What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
I hope this one keeps the same fun, crazy action of the first two. It would be nice to see some sort of new mechanic thrown into the mix somehow...though I don't know what it would be. Melee/close quarters maybe? Just throwing it out there.
FELIPE NO |
I know you should never judge a book by its cover, but the fact that Max Payne in that picture on the site looks more like Sam Fisher/Every character that shaves his head for 'redemption' worries me somewhat. Seeing now that he's just another 'gruff, bald headed tough guy' takes away from the charm that was just the whole 'average looking, average build pissed off guy.'
What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
