VG247 is reporting that the ‘latest’ (May) issue ofEDGEfeaturesMax Payne 3as its cover story. Apparently the game will still be set in São Paulo, but at some point Mr. Payne will have his old hair — as depicted in the recently releasedscreenshots. Maybe they’ll be showing his breakdown and escape to Brazil?
Environments are ‘fully’ destructible this time around (as far as that goes), a new cover system will be in place because no third-person shooter can go without one these days, and bullet time will be charged up by killing your foes.Max Payne 3will also feature multiplayer, although how that will work remains a mystery.
The comic-panel cutscenes will return, but this time they’ll be rendered in-engine to “show an animated collage of action footage,” which sounds likeXIII. Voice actor James McCafferty reprises his role as Max Payne, and four of Rockstar’s studios — Vancouver, Toronto, New England and London — are involved with creating the game.
It looks like follow up Remedy’s classic games is getting the Rockstar treatment, which bodes well for the game. Let’s hope it will be a bit longer thanMax Payne 2though, and please let’s not use the MP3 acronym. It looks stupid. I already have enough MP3s. Any thoughts on a better one?Max3?
