Name: Melvin Salas E-mail: ke_rico@hotmail.com I have resolved the issue so many people have had... When i play max payne 2, i lose control and the game runs all by himself, and i cant stop him from moving\shooting.... due to mouse lag/keyboard lag... Well, all u have to do is, when u are runninh the game, ALT TAB out, and go into TASK MANAGER, there you set the level priority on "maxpayne2.exe" to BELOW NORMAL, yes BELOW NORMAL... Set it as that everytime after u get into the game, it seems to resolve the issue.... Please get my message out, so many people are suffering from this. And so many people are not/will not be able to enjoy this wonderful game you have made. Thank you for this, please get my message out to the world community of MAX PAYNE/2.... Your fan, Melvin I have sent this message to tech-support already, its a copy of what i sent....

Remedy is still doing it, it's just that Rockstar is now going to publish it, and has put some of their facilities at Remedy's disposal. (amongst others, Rockstar seems to have quite a fine quality audio studio etc). Wouldn't surprise me if Rockstar threw some cash in Remedy's way either. Creston

I remember spotting this a while back, but it's only just struck me. Rockstar doing Max Payne? What happened to Remedy (esp. giving up their baby)? yea, I know, I'm miles behind :). Mike

OXM's been saying "GTA3 will get on the Xbox! god it had better happen! god dammit!" for about a year now, Gdiguy. I mean, the guy on the street corner saying the world is gonna end is going to be right...eventually. personally, I couldn't care less. the PC version of both games are out, and they've got more options than the Xbox version can ever have. and what's this horseshit about HalfLife coming out after OCTOBER? it's SUPPOSED to be out at the end of THIS month, people!

Yeah, they announced this a few weeks back; it was in OXM too... I thought I remembered reading that they have to name it like "Vice City" or something to get around a Sony deal...

Hrrm, EB has MP2 listed for Oct.21. Mebbe it is true. HL2 would then be a month later which makes sense.

October 15th

Hey, I have an idea, let's release like, right after Half Life 2, I'm sure that would boost sales! Sigh... Oh well, at least it's still coming out this year, but I would have thought they'd be smart enough to release near Xmas time, since seemingly NOTHING is coming out then. Railroad Tycoon 3, hmmmmmmm trains, choo choo! Creston

GTA for XBOX?

Is NO ONE else picking up on this: "The Grand Theft Auto double pack will be in stores in North America...on November 4th for Xbox." w00t! Great news for XBox fans! I wonder what sort of features it will have... Your own music for a radio station? Higher-res graphics like the PC version? Dolby Digital Surround? wipes up drool

they *claim* the game hurt the movie

I think they pretty much murdered each other.

There was only one catch and that was Catch-22




Who knows but that, on the lower frequencies, I speak for you? http://citizenb.com/ - Now at v1.1

Releasing Early = Bad = AoD

Look at AoD, Eidos wanted a little profit and because of it they practically destroyed a franchise (especially since they claim the game hurt the movie). If another god damn publishers pulls this kind of stuff on a decent title, there's gonna be hell to pay.
