**reddevil6** · 24-03-2009

It's been rumored for years and now Take Two Interactive's Rockstar Games' brand has finally made it official: a third Max Payne game is in development. This time the creative team isn't Remedy (who made the first two games and are now working on Alan Wake) but Rockstar Vancouver, best known for their work on Bully.

Rockstar has revealed little about Max Payne 3 other than it will feature you playing have "more of the classic elements and hyper-intense action that fans have come to love, while moving the story of Max in a new direction."
The press release adds, "Since leaving the NYPD and New York itself behind, Max has drifted from bad to worse. Double-crossed and a long way from home, Max is now trapped in a city full of violence and bloodshed, using his weapons and instincts in a desperate search for the truth and a way out."

We are starting a new chapter in the life of Max," said Saturday Houser, Founder of Rockstar Games. "This is Max, as you've never seen before, it is older and more cynical than ever. . After leaving the Police in New York, Max is in a downward spiral, trapped in a city where violence has no limits. The plot of this third component in any case seems to represent a priority for Canadian developers, and so much better. We now eagerly awaits the first images.

I think Rockstar come out with us a good game based on bullet time to the sauce but next-generation.
In addition to the history of air renewal with Max even worse than ever, and different from what we usually see, a bit like what Ubi wants to do with Sam Fisher.

They better not pull a Fallout 3, and just make a Total Conversion mod for GTA4. Max Payne as an Open World game just wouldn't work like the first 2. While Open World games are great for some applications, when you want to control a tight and time sensitive story an Open World can take you out of the experience.

And I hope they go back to the way Max Looked originally. Max in the second game look like Ted Danson.
