Max Payne: Old, Bearded
Rockstar drops the first hint about the next installment of the grandaddy of slo-mo man-shoots:
Do you like beards? What about scars? Blood? A possible hint of a shaven head? Oh, we could talk about this for hours.
Um.
Hmm.

Remedy sold the rights to make cash for Alan Wake apparently.
I love Max Payne games but I feel like they really completed his journey at the end of Max Payne 2. Still if they can do it right it should still be fun.
It's a terrible thing that Rockstar have made themselves a reputation for ridiculous bloatware and poor console ports after they made such a good name for themselves. Just goes to show how one bad decision can affect things, particularly when they should have known better.

It looks like the Rockstar Hype Machine is being bought up to full power.
The first one is pretty good as it's got that "home-made" kinda feel about it, all the characters are people that were in some way or another affiliated with the development team, which makes for interesting cut scenes.
I didn't like the second one as much but it's still a good shooter.
Aye, first one is really fun, moreso whence you patch it up to the latest just to crush a couple of odd bugs.
Great story and a handful of really *really* awesome levels.
And the Kung Fu mod available is just epic and most excellent, always worth a play.
The 2nd is ok, not special, but still a good game over all, the physics engine use is a bit forced in places as it was one of those to come out when proper physics was a new feature and not common place.
The first game had a nice story and setting, kind of noir, and the bullet time thing was original back then. It also had that psychadelic drug level, which is one of my favourite gaming moments. I didn't play the second.
Loved the first one, thought the second was a damp squib. Unless they introduce some sort of new dynamic to the third can't see how it will take off (other than hype) - as has been said, slo-mo old hat.
I thought the first one was great and the kung fu mod was winnar. Drugs bit does a very good job of fucking with the sense.
Played the second, enjoyed it but the wholesale face change sucked and some of the mona sax bits got tiresome.
Looks like Payne is doing a splinter cell. Getting all old and grizzly and such. Next thing it'll be a hueg packet of chewing gum floating around everywhere.
Also, what's going on with A. Wake? Seems a bit vapourware. Been deadly quiet for a while, I do hope remedy don't die out along with this game. They've got some great ideas.

one of the in-game TV shows is a sort of parody/dramatization of Max Payne 1. It's called Dick Justice, and one time he says "I have a permanent, constipated grimace on my face."
