It’s a lot more work!”įinally, it has been revealed as part of a big article in this month’s EDGE magazine that bullet-time, a concept that has now been done to death but was extremely popular in Max Payne, will make a return and will be fueled by the deaths of enemies. So you need a lot of custom setups, the environments need to be varied, and all of that while keeping the gameplay fun and responsive - people have become really specific about how they want things to be controlled. And though this is a more linear game for us, people want to be constantly surprised and entertained in new ways. Gamers expect a more fully realised cinematic experience, even if the main mechanic is still shooting. “Both the games and the audiences have become more sophisticated. Art Director on the project Rob Nelson says that Max Payne 3 will be trying to tell a story in the most compelling and surprise-filled way.

Rockstar did, however, promise with the release of those new screenshots that Max Payne 3 was indeed coming, and it turns out that more details were right around the corner.

There was a shot of Payne with hair and one of him in his familiar bald and bloodied form, with no information regarding when gamers might see the title or what form it has taken on now.
