Max Payne 3 Details Revealed!

Max Payne addicts rejoice! Max Payne 3 is coming and Edge magazine has released details about game series. Edge magazine’s latest issue has covered Max Payne 3 in detail where the most interesting of them is the inclusion of an online multiplayer mode. Yes you read it right. Max Payne 3 now has online multiplayer mode. However, no other details were provided about the said multiplayer component.

The Max Payne 3 game will be a joint effort from four of Rockstar s studios - Vancouver, New England, Toronto and London. Fans were taken back when they saw screens showing Max Payne as a balding, filthy hobo with a paunch two years ago. Unfortunately, it is still not clear when the release date be.

Rockstar recently released new screens showing him with a full mane, and the article covers the same, Max Payne has a full head of hair - there are screens which still show him as bald - and that he isn’t the booze-soaked hulk we’d been led to expect. The Rockstar article also mentions that Max is addicted to ubiquitous painkillers and appears to have a mental breakdown, which should explain the bald look later on in the game. Looks like Payne will be pulling a Britney Spears on us mid-game.

The game will be set in the aftermath of the events of Max Payne 2, where Max has turned into an alcoholic and driven from New York to work as a soldier of fortune in Sao Pualo, Brazil. Edge article covers much of the new features in detail, but here s a quick summary of all the dope in the magazine:

  • Destructible Environments
  • Will include online multiplayer
  • Bullet-time recharged by killing enemies
  • Wheel-based weapon selection window
  • New cover system that uses scenic objects
  • Hundreds of hours of mo-cap footage recorded
  • Original Max Payne s voice actor James McCafferty returns
  • Comic book panels return. Will use in-game engine to show an animated collage of action footage.
