Electronic Gaming Monthly’srumormonger Quartermannhas caught windthat Remedy Entertainment may not be the guys developing the nextMax Payne. He seems to think that Remedy may have their hands too full ofAlan Wakeand have given the title to the same internal Rockstar team that handled the development forThe Warriors.
I was under the impression thatAlan Wakehad gone the way ofDuke Nukem Forever, which means that instead of developing the title, Remedy is sitting around talking about donuts and tossing around ideas forMax Paynetheme parks. At least Remedy doesn’t post a job ad with aridiculously small pictureonce every three months to remind their fans that the game is still sitting in a corner somewhere. Instead, they casually remind us that work on the title hasn’t wentparticularly smooth.
Aside fromAlan Wake, it’s refreshing to hear thatMax Paynecould possibly be developed elsewhere. I enjoyedMax Payne 2, but it could have been much more. I need more drugs, chicks, noir, scrunched face, and gritty narrative in my shooter than what I received last time around.
