It's actually way better than I thought it would be considering it was done by the GTA Definitive Edition devs as it plays really good, runs at 60fps & is built off of the OG PC version and not the Xbox & PS2 ports.

BTW, this isn't my first time playing as I beat the Xbox version way back in 2016.

It's been 4 years since the announcement, we should be getting closer to more news, I get it since Rockstar is in charge of the marketing they probably will want to milk GTA 6 for all its worth

What's the point of having a meme and humour flair if you're just gonna take every post with that flair down?

Max Payne 1 Doing the GOAT game again.

We're just starting the Club mission, about to show this guy what the flesh of fallen angels is really about.

Some of my favorite dialogue in the game;

Thug:...Boss...Cognitti...It's Max Payne... he came an' started
cappin' us... He killed....uhhhhh...

Cognitti: Are ya freakin' kiddin' me?!! He's just one lousy cop!
Ya better be freakin' kiddin' me! Whack 'em! What's the
freakin' problem? Hello? Answer me! Hello?

Max Payne: The word was out. A deadly virus released into the
City's corrupt circulatory system. Something wicked this
way comes. Max Payne at large.

Also the "Vodka" lisccene plate kills me very time. Love everything there is about this game.

Discussion What do you think will be done with Payne’s look and sound in the remakes?

What do you think is the right direction for the inclusitivity of james mccaffrey in the remakes? Personally his face model is the best direction for me. As Sam Lakes face personally doesn’t quite match the grit of mccaffery’s voice. But I also do understand the love for the more campy-ness quality of it. I just couldn’t quite buy the connection between the voice and face with Alex Casey. (And I understand that what I’ve said would be considered sacrilegious.)

But given how the remakes will most definitely change how cutscenes and dialogue plays out. There will be gaps to be filled dialogue wise.

1) do you think mccaffery’s likeness should be utilised in homage if given rights? Or keeping the decision strictly between Sam Lake and Timothy Gibbs?

2) should max’s voice work be re-done? If so partially or not at all?

(Personally I believe james mccaffrey’s face model is best, and only minor additional dialogue from new actors should be added, keeping majority mccaffery.)

Help Stuck in second nightmare sequence in MP 1

5 Upvotes

FIXED!

Max does the jump animation but he doesn't actually leave the ground.

I already capped the FPS to 60.

At the beginning of the blood trail I can jump but after the first landing the game glitches and the physics don't work.

I bought MP1 and 2 on steam.

The first nightmare was hard but balanced I guess, i can't do this one

21 Upvotes

I mean, we're allowed to dream, aren't we? Why not imagine that, sometime in the next 15 years, we might finally get the proper sequel to Max Payne 2, as Sam Lake and the team at Remedy originally envisioned it before selling the IP? A game featuring all four seasons of the year, just as they had planned.

Could it actually happen, or is it just wishful thinking?

Max Payne 3 Max Payne 3 alternative ending

2 Upvotes

I’ve been thinking about the ending of Max Payne 3, and I feel like it would have been way more emotional if Max actually died at the end.

Instead of him walking away on the beach, he should have passed away from his injuries or a final sacrifice. Then, the game could have transitioned into a dream/afterlife sequence—similar to how the first game starts with his house, but this time, it's peaceful. He walks inside, drops his gun, and finally reunites with Michelle and his baby in heaven. After all the trauma he went through, this would have been the ultimate bittersweet redemption.

What I love about this idea is how it brings the trilogy full circle. Max's entire tragedy and living nightmare started inside that specific house in the very first game. Ending his story by having him return there—but in a peaceful, heavenly version—creates a perfect narrative loop. It brings ultimate closure to his character arc

Discussion Max Payne and Eyes Wide Shut

17 Upvotes

Was binge watching clips and analysis of Eye Wide Shut and it seemed to me that it is very similar to Max Payne: set in New York, mostly at night, elite conspiracies and the general eerie yet cozy vibe to it.

What do you guys think?
