Rockstar Games Announces Max Payne 3 for Winter 2009

[AltecV1]

Assuming this uses the RAGE engine, this will be very nice. I'm currently playing the first one and it's quite good. Yet to play the second.

Would be cool if this used the Uphoria Engine too like GTA IV did, that was the character physics engine so it wasn't all shitty rag dolls it was really sweet animations. Would be a nice touch.

Bet the graphics will be sweet too, Max Payne came out in 2001 and while a bit dated, the graphics aren't bad even to this day and seeing how GTA IV and Midnight Club looked, I bet this will also be nice on the eyes.

your REALLY into 350z arent you

I don't get it ether.

That's a shocker. How did Rockstar come into the rights?

Whu?

 

[FordGT90Concept]

Ah. Remedy Entertainment made it but Rockstar published it. Rockstar must have purchased the rights somewhere between Max Payne 1 and 2. It is very odd how they put it on the back burner for so long. Even more odd is they made a movie long before reviving the game.

Remedy Entertainment has been working on Alan Wake for some 6 years now. :O

not gonna be near as good as 1 & 2 ..i KNOW it..remedy ftw

It's been so long eh? God I had to check it out because it didn't seem posible to me...

wow i do love max payne played the first one to death and the second one to death, MAN I love that game, hope the 3rd one also does good. cant wait to start owning bitches IN THE ORIGNIAL BULLET TIME!

 

[Polarman]

I found the first one pretty short.

How about rockstar rehabs gta4 so it's at least playable on PC. Morons are pissing off their real fan base (yeah that's right, console owners suck ). I can't even play gta4 with medium settings. 20 fps is not awesome, which is what I see on ps3, RR360 and my machine.

How is it that the Consoles suck when the game isn't even playable on PC?.

Have you tried w/ the 1.0.2 patch? It's pretty smooth for me, smoothed out all the jaggies as well.

It's not playable on console, either... It's as jumpy as an ADD kid on crack drinking black coffee.

Patch installed. All I did was turn up the distances crap a little. Nowhere near even halfway. <del>1920x1200</del> 1280x720 is the res, slider bars are in the 20s and lower. I can play every other game at high fps at that res plus maxed out...hmmm.....

HELL YEAH!!! I was just talking about this the other day. Bout time. I loved the previous two max payne games.

Still more playable then the PC version tho, its like a slideshow if you dont have some good hardware, the Console versions do have there glitches and slowdowns but not near what the PC is crapin out.

Yeah 1920x1200 isn't helping you, nor is the x2 and possibly sli is giving you problems too. I get 30fps pretty steadily w/ view, shadow and traffic density halfway (traffic actually about 3/4, view distance like 38), render quality on very high and of course textures on medium (being that I only have 512mb). Best looking GTA I've played so I'm not really going to complain, although it could look and perform a bit better. I know you aren't maxing Crysis w/ those specs so.....

I played both crysis on high at 1280x1024, no probs at all (not high res but only one card). FEAR 2 is maxed out (1920x1200) and is butta

edited my other post, checked the settings and yeah, it's all on medium and the slider bars are pretty low. It's about as smooth now as rr360 - TOTALLY unplayable.

Keep in mind, I game at 60 fps (vsync and higher refresh with CRTs). Anything lower is horrendous and I will not tolerate it.

Wow I'm thankful I'm not as picky as you, I can't tell the difference b/t 30 and 60fps most of the time. Sometimes, but I certainly wouldn't uninstall a good game for it. FPS has never bothered me, so long as it's not jerky I'm a happy camper, I can't imagine why anyone would have developed such an intolerance for 30fps (considering where gaming was a few years ago, although I suppose if your new). Fear 2 isn't as massive or as pretty as GTA IV, and GTA would run maxed at 1280x1024 too.

I loaded it again to look at it, I was disgusted. I've seen games years older look better. The lack of AA really kills it (of course that would really kill perf haha).

Oh well rockstar, no cash for you.

W/ patch 1.0.2 most of the jaggies are smoothed out at 1680x1050, I can only imagine at 1920x1200 they would be even smoother. I can only assume that you didn't install that patch, which yes before that patch it looked atrocious.

1280x720 to increase fps and it's still terrible, yes patch is installed, although i see they released 1.3, not that it's going to give me 20 fps. Vsync doesn't help, but the newer nvidia drivers have been doing pretty good.

 

[..'Ant'..]

Yes sir can't wait!!!

 

[RadeonProVega]

The story in max payne 1 and 2 are boring, even tho part 1 was ok to most of the time. But the gameplay always is great

 

[deaffob]

This is the best new of the month. This is what Im talking about!

 

[Hayder_Master]

hell yeah , cool game i wait to play it in winter
i think this game do some trolls if HAVOK too part in this game , which is mean maybe support ATI physics
