Max Payne 3 trailer shows off bullet time tech
Rockstar's getting technical in a new series of trailers, kicking off with a look at its targeting, bullet time, animation, and AI. You needn't even ask: yes, things do get shot and explode in slow-motion.
Rockstar's getting technical in a new series of Max Payne 3 trailers, kicking off with a look at its targeting, bullet time, animation, and AI. You needn't even ask: yes, things do get shot and explode in slow-motion.
Max Payne 3's "extremely detailed" animation system blends thousands of animations, the trailer explains, and uses the Euphoria tech (as seen in Grand Theft Auto IV and Red Dead Redemption) to make things fall over nicely. Make Max twist and follow the crosshair with his movements, and you have a man who looks great shooting other men. Slightly less great when he's bald, mind.
Our Andrew was somewhat disappointed by how Max Payne 3 actually looked in our last preview, but he did note that--of course--the game's not finished yet.
Max Payne 3 will dive through a window onto PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in March 2012.

Wow. Those animations look amazing, and it looks so fun coupled with bullet time.

Looking good, think i'll play through the second one again.
-
Max Payne 3...Just wow.
Do we need to even bother with the "sold" or "I'm definitely gonna get it" comments?!
If anyone DOESN'T buy this game I'm going to bullet time their bottom.
And no sexual comments please, you know what I mean.-
It won't be the same without Lake's writing though.

That looks fucking amazing! Fuck you nay-sayers.

I still don't think it really feels like a Max Payne game, I'm much more reminded of Kane & Lynch, but there was a review on RPS about a dude playing a full 10min sequence, and using proper tactics and stuff, so it sounded like really deep combat - and I was excited!
An SP shooter that is focused on good combat is hard to find these days...
-
Euphoria tech is insane.
-
-
I would kill to see a good fantasy game use Euphoria. Skyrim or Dark Souls with dudes that react to hits using the Euphoria engine would be amazing.
-
I'm glad Rockstar is really taking the time to master it. GTA had great looking animation, but it felt a little sluggish. This looks like they are trying to make it look even better and at the same time feel way more natural.

Those animations look amazing.
-
uhhhh HOLY SHIT
-
I was expecting to be bored by this game but it looks amazing. They've really done some great work. But I wonder if the slo-mo shootouts will get boring after a while like they did for me in the other Max Payne games. Hopefully not, given the improvements in animations etc. Also I wonder whether the PC version will definitely release at the same time as the other versions (and whether the controls will be any good)?
-
In the still pic at the top, Max looks like David Boreanz... :P
-
Wow, that looks great.
-
That is certainly some cool tech--just what a modern Max Payne needs. What it doesn't need is a cover system and regenerating health...
-
I dunno, having a cover system in a game where you get shot at a lot kinda makes sense imho.

I sort of don't mind cover systems in a third person game. I loathe them in an FPS when they pull me out of it
-

Holy shit that backward dive...
-

Daygles.

This looks amazing.

Wow, that is really, really impressive. The animation looks absolutely gorgeous, and it seems like they did a good job of updating the bullet-time mechanic to make it still seem "fresh". Definitely gonna be picking this one up! Also, Rockstar once again proves that they make the best damned trailers in the industry. I love how they actually go over and examine the different elements of the gameplay, story, etc., in the trailers for their recent games.
-
Fuck it. I'm converted. I don't care if it's "Generic Shooter #3" It looks like it will be fucking awesome.
-
looks so good and fluid in action. I never had a doubt when Rockstar took over Max Payne; Dan Houser is lead writer on MP3, can't argue with that. Also McCaffrey back too, the beginning had me grinning.

God damn. Yes please.

A single player game based primarily around shooting bad guys doesn't interest me (looking at you RAGE) but this is more than RAGE's wingstick/shotguns/bum rushing enemies/first person mechanic. This looks really cool even if you are just watching someone else play it. I don't like bald, fat Max and I didn't think Max Payne 3 would be a surefire purchase but now it is a definite buy. Depending on where I am with Skyrim and New Vegas, MP3 may even be a day one buy. I like what I see in this video.

Maybe it's finally owning glasses or something but fuck that video is low res compressed shit.
Here's a copy which doesn't look awful.
