It's a release estimate and not a confirmed, concrete release date that will not see any delays.

Wait until we see some real gameplay videos, it will put the COD vs. BF3 articles to rest. I couldn't be excited because I'm expecting an announcement of a delayed release with a concrete release day in May. Just like the past 2 games that have been release so far that had some dealings with RockStar. I want a March release but wasn't RDR suppose to release that month in 2010? Then got delay til May?

You have to understand that when the original Max Payne was unveiled, it really did stand out from the competition. It was the first game to do proper bullet time and the visuals were also fantastic. Couple that with a very mature storyline and its distinct film noir approach and it stood out from the rest of the competition. Furthermore it's third person shooting elements were sublime at the time.

The market is a lot more saturated now, almost a decade later. We have had several third person shooters, bullet time has been used to death and the adult or 'mature' story angle has also been used a lot in games such as Kane and Lynch and others.

I think Max Payne isn't as fresh a title as it used to be; and the protagonist looks is a lot worse for wear too. However, we shouldn't write this off just yet. More concrete details about the game and its storyline might just reinvigorate interest into this title. It's all down to Rockstar.

I say give it a bit more time and lets hear a bit more about it.

we really do not know anything about this other then it *should* have been released by now, delay after delay.

We have had nothing to look at but just about the same screen shots from what.. a year or two years back?!!

I would not write it off at all for a number of reasons;

A. It's R*
B. Remember Red Dead Redemption, when it was first announced there was almost no hype for it at all. Nobody seemed to care at all about it. Max3 was also announced that same year. RDR got delayed for a long time, no videos, no new screens nothing and hardly anyone even cared.

Then R* gave us a date, then some videos and BLAM!! RDR exploded and was on everyone's mind. the hype went from like 1C to 1000C in a matter of weeks and then the game finally came out and it's still one of the best games this gen.

R* know how to make good stories, they know how to bring in good character development. We have seen them use bullet time with the rage engine in RDR and it was awesome.

Once R* get the hype train going for Max I am sure it will be a massive hit. Give them a chance.

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

Miraak82 1067d ago

Dragon Quest 11 is my top pick

RpgSama1067d 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.

badz1491067d ago (Edited 1067d 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

Tacoboto1067d 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.

Aloymetal1067d ago (Edited 1067d 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!

Demetrius1067d 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

ClayRules20121067d ago

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

Elda1067d ago

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

DefenderOfDoom21067d ago (Edited 1067d 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 .
