Holy crap, Max Payne 3. About time. And revealed first thing on a Monday morning?

Between that and the PlayStation 3 Harmony compatibility stuff, it's as if someone is running down my wish list, one bullet point at time. It's like waking up on Christmas Day and finding all those shiny presents. Now, let's see what GDC has in store for us...

  as they approach release date they should make his face more and more pinched, like there is a singularity in his nose.

    I really miss the Sam Lake version of Payne. I loved the rictus grin he had the entire time.

        Yeah, but the dialogue scenes were great. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:May_payne_panels.jpg

        I was kind of disappointed with the changes to the visual style of the inter-level scenes when I started playing the second game. There's nothing wrong with them, but I had really become attached to the blurred photo look and perpetual grimace on Max's face (regardless of who he was talking to or what was going on) from the first one.

      I prefer the Max Payne 2 version. I was appalled when I first saw that they changed him, but while playing Max Payne 2 I came to appreciate the new look and then I eventually preferred it.

        The look was definitely better, and not everybody had a stupid look on their face in the graphic novel (HEY I JUST TOOK A BULLET I'M SMILING). But the writing and story telling wasn't as good.

  One of my favourite games ever were MP1 and 2. I hope my laptop can handle 3!

    Yeah, first first two games are nothing like the movie. And they are really dated for a movie tie in.

    Wouldn't it suck if this game was a movie tie-in? As in a reboot following closer to the movie?

  I'm cautiously optimistic.
