Rockstar Developing Max Payne 3?

The latest print issue of EGM Magazine has a rumor that development of Max Payne 3 is not taking place at original Max Payne developer Remedy Games, who are busy completing Alan Wake. Computer and Video Games says that EGM reports the Payne sequel will be handled by the same internal Rockstar team (Rockstar Toronto) that created The Warriors. Max Payne... come out and pla-ay.

Please keep the over-the-top noir dialog and voice acting from the old Max Payne games. And of course the absolutely awesome gameplay.

I know it's kinda goofy to complain about realism in a game where you can slow time and end up firing 250 million bullets and killing ten thousand baddies, but please, no more plot points that involve getting shot in the head from 6 feet with a .50 cal Desert Eagle and being resuscitated and up and about mere minutes later. (Remember that part at the end of the funhouse sequence when the traitorous Russian shot Max in the head and his lady love Mona revived him with mouth to mouth?)

The first two are the single best story-driven PC FPS games ever made.

Careful. That kind of attitude will get you skewered here on Valve Fanboy Central.

The physics in GTA4 are pretty fun

They're a new thing called NaturalMotion, which kicks Motion Capture's ass all over the fucking courtyard. The latest issue of PC Gamer had some info about it, and mentioned that GTA4 used it.

The way bodies bounce off cars in GTA4 is absolutely spectacular and something I immediately noticed within 20 seconds of starting the game (so I ran over the two dock workers who gave me fucking lip when I got off the boat, what was I supposed to do?)

Apparently the guys who made NaturalMotion are going to make a football game with it. I predict it will tear EA and it's piece of shit Madden franchise a new asshole the size of jupiter.

I was recently wondering if there'd ever be another MP game. I really liked the first and second, though the second was a blatant ripoff. Seriously, five hours of game for 50 bucks? Fuck dat noise.

I replayed them both about a year ago, and they've aged fairly poorly. The animation that blew us away back then is now really stilted looking, and the slowmo thing is ofcourse now done by pretty much everybody. It's still a pretty good game, but not as fantastic as I thought it was back then.

I'd definitely get the next edition of MP, provided it actually offers me more playing time than my average lunch break.

...that Remedy worked on this. Having said that, it has been way too long since I played MP2.

I just hope they make a decent game and remain faithful to the Max Payne style and gameplay.
MP didn't amaze me, but I absolutely LOVED MP2!
Waiting for Max Payne's journey through the night to continue,

It isn't confusion, it is just saying the wrong thing. I think they play damn near identical to FPS. Think of FEAR in 3rd person. Same damn game - different theatre.

Not quite. Max Payne revolved around jump-diving and shooting in 360 degrees in slow motion. That doesn't work so well in first-person. The same applies to any sort of acrobatic maneuvers.

Perspective has ramifications in many aspects of a game's design. Taking cover, for example. In first-person, the use of cover is balanced in that you can't see your enemies while you are protected from their fire. There is risk and reward. In third-person, this is not the case. You are protected by enemy fire and you can see your enemies. This is why Gears of War is such a boring game.

Sigh. The Max Payne games weren't first-person.

I don't understand the confusion myself - in many ways, the Max Payne games don't even play like FPS's.

However, they are both excellent shooters, and the gameplay is so fun I find myself replaying them pretty frequently. The only other shooters (FPS or not) that I've replayed as often as MP1 & 2 are Jedi Outcast and Half Life 1 & 2.

fuck trackmania, get back into TF2. I just got natascha yesterday, KGB's are comin up!

I intend to. I haven't really played much in the way of FPS MP games simply because of the not so ideal setup at the couch.

Having a small desk table made up, that should be ready in a couple weeks, then I can get back to really enjoying some online MP FPS's again.

The Warriors was decent.

But if they fuck up Max Payne 3 they'll never be forgiven. The first two are the single best story-driven PC FPS games ever made.

Well, I consider FPS, semi-third person, over the shoulder, etc. all about the same. Just POV change - not graphics.

Why are people calling Max Payne a FPS?

The series has never been about superior FPS-style graphics. I don't see why the third one would need a bleeding-edge engine to do justice to the series. I think the RAGE engine would be fine. For that matter, an updated version of the Max Payne 2 engine would be fine.

trying to think of a great engine that would support an acceptable experience in Max Payne world..

Good question. Maybe id Tech 5? Hard to say without having actually seen it in retail.

Do you have a single fact to back that up?

The same as a standard shooter engine would not work well for a game like GTA4, the reverse is also true. I think a game like Max Payne 3 would require something with a little more graphical kick.

I understand that portion - and an FPS made directly with what they have for GTA4 would look like crap - I was just wondering if it is an all or nothing......trying to think of a great engine that would support an acceptable experience in Max Payne world.....obviously HL2 engine is off limits - although that would work nicely....
