Support NeoGAF

[BigWeather]

I am looking forward to reading reviews about the single player. I'm a bit wary because it is linear, but if it is fun and supports interesting deviations on replay (due to AI, multiple paths through the environment, etc.), and is a decent length (15 to 20 hours) then I'm on board. Just not into the MP.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

Great OT.

I wonder though, If Player A activates Bullet Time and he aimed at Player B. Player C is watching Player A and Player B going head to head, what would Player A and B look like ? Are they slowed down or just normal people shooting each other ?

Player C moves at the same speed as Players A and B when Bullet-time is engaged. So Player C moves slow as well. Only Player A's aiming speed remains faster to make up for the slowing down of time. Everyone else aims slowly.

If I understand correctly, Player C will be in BT as well. BT is line of sight. When Player C looks at Player A, he'll enter it with them.

Definitely man. The great thing about Max Payne is that even if the story is a bit cheesy, the shooting is so damn fun... I can't tell you how SATISFYING it is to fly through the air and shoot at doods. I spent HOURS just going through and blasting guys away, finding new ways to enter a room like a BADASS and just shoot everything and everyone. I am so stoked for this game... I'm ready to bring back some childhood memories.

PS:
Max Payne for the Xbox was my first "M" rated game... I convinced my older sister to buy it for me, and when we were checking out, the nerd behind the counter said "Are you SURE you want to buy this? Max Payne stands for MAXIMUM PAIN; its pretty violent." I was like "wtf man nu uh." Ended up getting it anyways. Victory for 13 year old me.

I'm not all that pumped by the game, but that soundtrack contribution by Health is ripping my shit in half.

For those that are familiar with the expression.

I think it also matters who's on whose team. If Player A and Player C are on the same team, Player C also enjoys the normal shooting speed and reload times. If Player C is on the same team as Player B, then he's penalized and has slower shooting speed and reload times. At least, that's how I understand it. There's a blue haze around your screen if you're under positive bullet time influence, red if negative.

Christ! Go watch the videos explaining it online. It really isn't that hard to wrap your head around.

lol, article was already posted, but those look great. That looks like it'll be a really fun mode. Plus, for the people worried about too many cutscenes, this mode just skips them.

 

[ezekial45]

Those are just so awesome.

Yeah but you guys only posted the article and not the new screens :/

Anyway, yep those look so good. Also the new modes sound very interesting.

HOLD UP!


... Are there visible bullet wounds on the bodies, or no?

Yes.

 

[mickcenary]

Yes.

Cheers. That is word.

WAIT A SECOND!

... 360 is on two discs? That's not word at all. MP/SP division?

 

[keltickennedy]

I don't think anyone knows for sure how it is separated, but that would make the most sense.

 

[Catshade]

First disc contains MP and first half of SP. Second one has the latter half of SP.

Solving the Challenge of Bullet Time in Multiplayer

Multiplayer is sounding pretty good, imo.

I want the poster in the background.

They won! They brought the payne!

 

[Data West]

Do we have crews prepared or what?

Registration's not up yet. Probably at 12 PM EST.

sweet jesus look at the details

I'll need people to play with for the 360 version. Net you are still on my FL from SSX right?

I have the same view really want to hear about single player and if there is decent replay value. I doubt I will touch multiplayer much, just has me worried many of the previews seem to be multiplayer focused.

I will be on 360 until I can get pc version

and upgrade my pc :_;

 

[Wind's Howling]

Despite this being on two discs I am still getting the 360 version over the PS3 one. Knowing Rockstar this generation that just seems to be the safest bet. GTA IV and Red Dead Redemption were vastly inferior on the PS3. I much rather swap discs for a mere 5 seconds.

Yurp.

 

[theAntagonist]

Supposedly crews are live on Social Club. I haven't checked them out yet though. Whenever the Gaf crew is made, I'll send a request.

hmm...i wonder if my pc can play this on medium at least:
e8400 OC'ed
6770
4GB

;_;

Yup they are!! Let me see if I can create NeoGANG for 360 now but if it's too involved I'll tackle it later after work.

:EDIT: Here we go:
http://socialclub.rockstargames.com/crew/neogang

Now....anybody got any ideas on how to create the GAF logo?

 

[Net_Wrecker]

Uhhhhhhhh, yeah, good luck creating the GAF logo. Was messing with the creator for a while and realized I suck. Site's pretty slick though. Hope the in game integration is done well.

 

[JambiBum]

Requested to join the crew.

 

[Sleepy Buddha]

I just hope they put the soundtrack up for sale on Steam, like the Bastion OST. I fucking hate iTunes and would like for my purchase to be available for download at any time so buying it on Steam and having it as a game bonus on my account would be the best choice for me.

Why specifically xbox?

 

[Fjordson]

Sweet. Requested to join.

And yeah, no chance I would be able to make the GAF logo with this lol. My skills are sorely lacking.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

X360 crew only? No thanks.

 

[Freewheelin']

Added my name to the GAF gang doc. Is there going to be a PS3 crew?

 

[Messofanego]

I like the Kane and Lynch 2 pink lighting filter in the headings of the OP.

 

[Net_Wrecker]

Why specifically xbox?

X360 crew only? No thanks.

Unless I'm misunderstanding how this is going to work in-game, it wouldn't make much sense to mix and match console owners, would it? Unless it's one big GAF Crew and the game will sort it out automatically.

Me confuzzled.

One would assume so. That was a big reason for the social club in the first place. To link the community together while still making it obvious who's on what system.

Hmmmm, well the "Xbox 360 Crew" thing can be changed so whatevs. This will all be cleared up soon enough.

 

[Lord Phol]

Max Payne 2 is one of the best optimized PC games I have ever played, wonder if it will be the same with this one. Nonetheless looks interesting, will probably get on the PC!

 

[Aguirre]

when does review embargo get lifted?

 

[Blutonium]

Fuck it, I'm going to double dip. There's no way in hell I can wait untill june 1st while you bastards are off having a blast.

Diablo 3 is not an option for you? no interest?

 

[JambiBum]

Alright I made a GAF logo as best as I could using the emblem creator. Once I get accepted to the crew I'll upload it. If someone can make something better then go on ahead.

 

[Fjordson]

Noon Eastern on the 14th.

[-Amon-]

Has arcade mode been mentioned before?

http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/05/08/on-the-clock-in-max-payne-3s-arcade-mode

Looks pretty cool.

That's nice ! Fits perfect with this kind of game too.
