Max Payne 3 |
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.
