Max Payne 3's debut trailer
Here it is, the very first trailer for Max Payne 3. The long-in-development action game from Rockstar is coming out in March, and this video gives us a first look into how it's come along.

Yes, bald and bearded Max is still in the game, drinking his troubles away in Sao Paulo, Brazil. While the change of scenery may offend some fans, the return of Max Payne's incredible theme song, along with the noir-inspired narration, goes a long way in reviving our nostalgic memories of the first games.

Until now, I thought MP3 lacked the vibe of the first two games. But the trailer looked great; I'm excited for the first time since I saw the game... how many years ago, now?

Agreed, didn't give the deep dark chill of from snowy winter night setting like the other Max games. This felt more like Kane and Lynch.. Hope they also get the "every bullet counts" kinda feel that older max games have, not just the generic "click to spray" gameplay.. o_O if you catch my drift

Mostly I was disappointed by this art style. It's so... middle-of-the-pack. Nowadays they could easily accomplish a Max Payne game that looked almost like the cutscenes themselves, but instead they went for the Uncanny Valley 'realistic' lighting and objects. Which not only means it looks the same as everything else out there (aside from the protagonist himself), but it means they're probably forced to make it basically play the same as everything else or the idiots will complain that they were 'tricked'.
I'll be pleasantly surprised if it turns out to have similar gameplay to the original (and I would even support making it a bit easier, since the originals were extremely quicksave-heavy if you weren't good at them), because I'm expecting a lot of concessions to modern identikit cover-shooter conventions.-

See, this is why I often think about asking a mod to allow a name change. I get friggin' zombie names lording their lack of numbers over me.
Anyway, regarding your point, are you saying that the weird interaction of light and shadow on curved surfaces that this trailer shows does not, for you, cause a feeling of repulsion and a complaint from your stomach that it kinda feels a little queasy? Because it does for me. And that's pretty much the textbook definition of entering the Uncanny Valley. It might not be the Polar Express or a Japanese plastic-faced robot, but it's on the downward slope.

It's Man on Fire, the white version.
:D-
Funny. Man on Fire was the first thing I thought of when watching.

Too bad trailers don't show us whether a game will have a cover system and regenerating health.

a cover system is fine as long as its done right. like rainbow six vegas for example. deus ex: hr did it pretty well too.
problem is with the 'rage' engine it will probably end up more like GTA4. where movement in general was just really sluggish. and the cover system was just plain old retarded.

I think it looks pretty good but it doesn't seem to have the same feel as the other 2 games, one thing I hope they put back in the game are the actual animations of the guns firing, ie chamber/slide animations, minor I know but when they ditched the animations in the second game I immediately noticed they were missing.

I think Rockstar's narrative style would work massively better in a linear game like Max Payne than an open world one
-

Yeah, it could easily have a completely different name, and I kind of wish it did. I'd rather have more Max Payne in the same vibe as the first two (noir setting, graphic novel cutscenes, etc.) even if it was in a different locale.
Looks a little too much like GTA with bullet time to me. -
-
I guess you missed the part about "This trailer was made entirely with in game footage."
-

-
-
I like what I saw.
-
That's it? It kinda feels like a lame ripoff of Max Payne rather than a sequel. Maybe its just the trailer, but the dialogue was weak. Take away the music and title and it's hardly recognizable as a Max Payne game at all.
Fuck, the movie felt more like the original games than this and it wasn't so good.
Ugh.. I'll try to keep an open mind. I can't fathom Rockstar winning many people over that had reservations to begin with with this trailer. *crosses fingers* -

There were plenty of scenes at night and in different locations. So what if they left New York, fuck. I think Brazil at night is much more fucked than NY. Give it a chance.
I have been enjoying slowing down the video and pausing to see the little things that are there
1. Super detailed guns, bullets and casings, serial numbers!
2. Environmental destruction is based on the bullets not hitboxes from what I see. This is what makes Max Payne different from most games, each bullet had actual physics, and with Euphoria it's going to be amazing. The glass breaking in many scenes shows this along with enemy reactions to bullets.
3. There are plenty of Maxs! open your eyes, there are so many Max models because the story skips all throughout a timeline, there was a beat up and bandaged Max, bald, original, and strong and bearded. I'm excited to see how Max has changed as a character after the events of the first two games. As many say the story was pretty closed, which is good that it's something different than using the same ideas again.
The action scenes looked great, there are plenty of examples of the great MP gameplay throughout such as the tracing sniper bullet, dives, a cool shot to the head takedown that happens after a reload and may be the new reload move, bullet traces, etc etc.
Looks like Max Paynes unique gameplay fundamentals to me!

It looks good but it gave me the feeling that there will be plenty of rockstar's standard fare of terrible characters who are crazy for crazy's sake
-
I'm getting more of a Grand Theft Auto vibe from it. It needs more NYC >:(

This looks like a neat game, but it looks like anything but Max Payne.
-
This feels like the "Live Free or Die Hard" entry into the Max Payne series. It'll be a solid genre entry but it won't jive within the context of the series.

Looks like Kane & Lynch.

Why the fuck is Max not in a Hawaiian Shirt?
-
I'm interested. I know it's not Remedy making the game, but it's not like Rockstar is new to this whole game production business. They have given me the GTA IV series, Red Dead Redemption, and LA Noir this generation, and I have loved every one for different reasons. That's enough for me to give the benefit of the doubt.

"It's true what they say about the fall and the sudden stop at the end.
I'd lain here in the snow while the lurid chain of scenes that had led me here kept playing in my head, a rerun of my own private snuff movie, a memory of my corpse. Alone at my own wake. Thinking in metaphors again.
The femme fatale was gone. Only a sour taste remained of the kiss that killed me.
This was a late goodbye. Thirteen years after I'd gotten my revenge, it had finally caught up with me. It'd been a long time to bear the pain.
My blood painted the snow red -- a gruesome slushie -- dissolved all the scattered painkillers, and leisurely dripped down to the sewer, mingling with the bile of the city, becoming one with it.
I can see them now, my wife and my baby. Honey, I'm home."
Guess Remedy's ending isn't canon anymore then?-
that's not the ending of max payne 2
-
That's from Alan Wake. It's from the manuscript pages of a book called "The Sudden Stop" and it's Remedy's ending for Max Payne, they basically hid it as a Max Payne metaphor inside of the Alan Wake universe. It's even narrated by James McCaffrey.
-
It looks like exactly the Max Payne 3 I wanted.
-
If they called it something else and got rid of the cello, you wouldn't even be able to tell it's a Max Payne game.
-
Come go and see, will not regret it Oh look

Is it just me or does the dialog sound like it were written by a wanna-be noir writer?
Sure, the first two games were cheesy, but what is up with the self references? Well this is happening AGAIN, like it ALWAYS happens when I'm pushed to the edge saving a woman I love AGAIN... So on an so forth. -
Looks pretty good, but still early to tell. I want to see more gameplay shots that aren't as quick cut. For fun, here's a Max Payne 1 trailer for comparison: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GW5m8nBAeAg Looks pretty similar to the MP3 trailer structure-wise, but shows more gameplay.
-
Hooooooooly shit.
Those first few notes of music hit me with crazy strong nostalgia. Wasn't expecting that! -
-
It does kinda suck but at the same time we are getting games now that focus a lot on art design and more efficient texture management, we are not getting bad looking games, just a clear struggle for more detail. Gameplay also gets better as a result, since people expect that more than good graphics.
-
Must see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIhjtSY-nxg
While we're on topic... -
So all the cut-scenes are in game now without comic flair?
-
By the look of the trailer, this is an open world game?
-
Damn.
I didn't get much out of that. I'd wait for a review to see if the mood of the originals is recaptured, but there's almost no gaming websites worth reading any more that aren't sycophantically shilling for the industry.
I actually want this to be good, but I'm getting a Kane and Lynch On Holiday vibe from this rather than a Max Payne one.
I want to be wrong. -
