Why We Feeling Apprehensive About Max Payne 3

It's been over five years since we last saw a Max Payne game, and fans have been been eagerly awaiting a return to the gritty film noir world presented in those games. Most people were initially pretty excited when the game was announced back in March, but since then some people have started to feel a little bit concerned that Max Payne 3 won't live up to it's predecessors.

Lets hope the gameplay is still as good

lociefer6163d ago

coz max was all about noire, now all i see is bright / been there done that character , location , ganeplay

CobraKai6163d ago

The noire feeling is what got me to give the game a chance and play it for the first time. It lost it and lost some of its identity. Now it's coming dangerously close to looking generic. But there is still a lot of dev time left so lets keep our minds open.

free2game3656163d ago

probably going to be downgraded a lot for being designed to be played a on a controller.

madpuppy6162d ago (Edited 6162d ago )

First off, why the hell is he bald?? It's like every male game character lately has no hair (except Drake). Is it that much of a PITA to render hair? also, Max Payne could have been down and out in NY city, He didn't need to go to some tropical hell hole. (even though, that does seem to be a standard plot point for City cops in movies. the main character is tired of the job and city and wants to buy a house on the coast in some tropical locale and retire early) It is just such a change from the games that we all loved to play that it is shocking. I missed the brooding noir atmosphere of the first game. The City coated in a thick, muffled blanket of snow from an ongoing, record breaking snowstorm. It gave the feel of cold,dark isolation. that Max was truly alone in his quest for justice.

The game may very well be great. But, It just doesn't fit with everything that made Max Payne a classic.

I guess we will just have to see, you never know, they may just change a few things after hearing all this dissent and, at the least GIVE MAX HIS HAIR BACK!!!

"He didn't need to go to some tropical hell hole"

Wow, thank you from Brazil. I agree when you say about the cold feeling of previous games, they maybe have gone wrong, but no need to say it like that.

Anyway, just try to not perpetuate this kind of behavior, everything is bad enough about regionalism and whatnot..

madpuppy6162d ago

crumbling, dirty building? The place depicted in the game looks like a place I would not want to vacation. damn, I'm from NY and I don't get my panties in a bunch when movies show parts of NYC in a bad light. because there ARE bad areas in NYC. are you saying there isn't any area in Brazil that is dangerous or dystopian?

eddvdm6155d ago

Sorry madpuppy I thought you were generalizing, it has been very common..

Here in Brazil this kind of scene is very common, on the called "favelas", big and poor communities scattered all around the big cities. We just have to find a way to live together, while the corrupt government does its stuff over and over again. But, yes, we have hell holes like that everywhere almost, I just thought you were calling all the stuuf a hole alltogrther, sorry ;P

Parapraxis6163d ago

Why we feeling the need... to learn proper grammar.

GiantEnemyCrab6163d ago (Edited 6163d ago )

/looks at the topic

"Why We Feeling"

/sees an English teacher in the fetal position weeping in a corner.

Kids, stay in school and put down the controller.

Ugh, the person doesn't even know the difference between its and it's. I hate to be a backseat writer, but damn, if you are going to write publicly at least have a grasp of proper English.

y0haN6163d ago (Edited 6163d ago )

Because he's bald, he's old, he's lost his original developers, art direction and his continent.

Poopface the 2nd6163d ago

I loved max payne bac in the day on pc. I still use the max payne mouse pad that it came with.

We should give the game a chance before we write it off as garbage just because hes bald and it takes place somewhere else.

maybe the ingredients for valkeyre come from some tropical country. Maybe max shaved his head because it was hot. Maybe his hair fell out because of the stress of having everyone he ever loved or cared about murdered.

having an out of shape character in a video game is pretty original, as every character in videogames now is some buff guy or a chick with huge boobs and a thong.

this game will be different because its a 3rd person shooter with bullet time.

Some areas may be bright but the game could still have a gritty and dark atmosphere as well. I think in real life some 3rd world country at night would be ALOT more scary than NYC ever could be.

give max a chance.

Also theres a chance that hes trying not to look like himself, as in "Fugative undercover cop with nothing to loose" only he might not be a cop anymore.

UJUSTLOSTONE6162d ago

Heres an original idea, lets wait for some previews at the very least before we start bashing a game.

I'm going to reserve judgement too untill I get some hands on time, or at least see the game in action. Also, the new Max isn't fat, he just spent sometime on the bench press, and hasn't done any sit ups.

Typical isolationist macho behavior. lol

I got 80% trophy completion on Ragnarok but left a few of the battles. Will come back to it one day.

Miraak82 1045d ago

Dragon Quest 11 is my top pick

RpgSama1045d ago

Dragon Quest XI was such an AMAZING game, I had a blast from the very beginning all the way to the very end, it actually got better the more you played, full of surprises as well.

Another game that I enjoyed from the very beginning all the way to the end of the 100% completion was Yakuza: Like a Dragon. Really, really, really fun game with a great heartfelt story.

badz1491045d ago (Edited 1045d ago )

Where is Horizon Zero Dawn?? where is Ghost of Tsushima?? I just got my Platinum on HZD and is now trying to finish the Frozen Wild expansion. so much care and love went into that game and it really shows. I especially adore the lore and have sunk many hours listening to the logs and reading journals. the back story is great and the gameplay is awesome. can't wait to replay on the hardest difficulty on NG+. next in my list would be to finish GoTsushima

Tacoboto1045d ago

Ghost was fantastic especially after Iki Island and the PS5 upgrade. 100%'d that, Horizon Forbidden West (not ZD), GoW (not yet Ragnarok), Spider-Man, and R&C: Rift Apart.

Each one absolutely worth it.

Aloymetal1045d ago (Edited 1045d ago )

100% I would like to add to you list RDR2, amazing as well and the perks from getting the Legend Of The East outfit is awesome.
Sekiro as well, have to play twice to get it but it's worth it!

Demetrius1045d ago

I agree I'm on my 2nd playthroughs of both horizon forbidden West(zero dawn I played also) ghost of Tsushima except I'm replaying it on PS5 this time, the iki island expansion is amazing

ClayRules20121045d ago

Yeah, GoT was already an AMAZING game on PS4, but playing it on PS5, along with that expansion, just even better.

Elda1045d ago

I just started my copy of GOW:R, enjoying it so far.

DefenderOfDoom21045d ago (Edited 1045d ago )

Okay the title of article should be top 10 , 3rd person games to complete 100 percent. Nine 3rd person games and 1 racing game on this list .
