It's 60fps on Xbox. 720p. I suppose controls are a matter of preference.
I never liked the game, but the current way to play on Xbox is not bad.
Rumor: GTA IV and Max Payne 3 Remasters Likely in Development

So, 720p and retarded controls limited.

I was so disappointed when Max Payne 3 got its FPS Boost update on Series X but they left the resolution as is at freakin 720p
As far as im concerned all those games with BC that got FPS boosted may as well have been left at 30 fps because without improving resolution they all look like utter disgusting poop on a 4k tv.
What a waste of the BC program that was....and Max Payne 3 of all games could've looked incredible at 4k or even 1440p but MS wanted to take the lazy approach to BC.
Imagine how great the Series X could've been with a BC program that went all the way on updating games for modern displays! One of MS and Spencer's many fumbles

Did you mean to write BC update?
Max Payne 3 never got FPS Boost on Series X. It's still stuck at its original fps cap, which is, oddly enough, 33fps.
Add: Here's an off-screen video of the game on a Series X running on a 120hz VRR monitor.

The PC version of Max Payne 3 still looks great. I guess they could update it with raytracing, path tracing, and newer hardware features.

The xbox backwards compatibility version runs at 60fps though.

Enough with the fucking remasters. They are already playable on Xbox series X.

Yeah, thanks, but no. I'd rather "dick around" for 10 minutes installing a restoration mod pack that brings back all the 360 graphical effects, all the music, and unlocks the framerate to 60 FPS that's actually stable (unlike the Xbox Enhanced version, which literally can't be completed in 60 FPS mode) to get a definitive experience. What's 10 minutes compared to a 20+ hour experience?

I was talking about GTA IV before and I stopped reading the thread and when I came back some of you were talking about max payne 3 and I didn't realize it either.

It's fun reading the amount of contrarianism with these possible remasters.
Red Dead Redemption 1 didn't receive this much pushback, even from Series X owners.

I mean 720p....I can barely tolerate Battlefield 4 campaign 900p on ps5 pro with the enhanced hardware upscaler toggle On.

Whats wrong with the pc port? I played it a bit on desktop and played it on steam deck. Seemed to run fine. Way better than the ps3 I played it originally. That version was a vasalene smeared mess.

Instead of remastering old shit, how about releasing a new game more often than once per a decade?

Brilliant game imo great soundtrack too

indeed. it was one of the best looking gen7 games and they really perfected the euphoria animation system here (and then took 20 steps backwards with RDR2)

The MP3 platinum is my rarest. Absolutely incredible game, extremely tight gunplay, but if it released again with the same list, I wouldn't do it again. The Shadows That Rushed Me is too much, fun challenge when I was younger but practicing for hours to have a perfect run isn't my idea of fun anymore. I think it took me five tries, two of which I made it to the final boss and died there. No fun wasting hours only to fuck up at the very end.

I really would love a remake of GTA4 or at least a high level remaster because it looks like crap on a 4K tv playing through BC on Series X.

I enjoyed max Payne 3 but they turned it into a cover shooter I doubt I would want to play that again.

RDR2 released in 2018, RDOnline 2019. GTA6 is slated for next year. That's better than some studios out there. Look at Rare for example.
Wouldn't that be a colossal new release and solve the problem of releasing remasters? What would get worse?

Yea, but rare is dead, completely dead. Rockstar still has its talent, and a bunch of it, so they are in completely different situations.
We would get even less new games from them after the new gta online is at least 50% more popular than the current gta online. They'll be printing so much money, and for so long that the gta online will be like their Steam, they simply don't need to do much, and still print islands of cash.

Yeah it looks good with mods, still being a broken mess though

There is not a single mod there. With all that is "broken" is still far better than how it is on Xbox Series X BC.

It is better but its crap. The game has terrible LOD issues, aliasing everywhere, low res shadows, shitty textures and many problems. You need to spend hours modding the game to make it look and run decent. Even when I launch without mods, I cant even select 4k resolution
The port is a fucking mess and we need a remaster like RDR1 fixing most of these issues
crazyriddler

No, it is not, if you play it without mods the game has physics glitches, suffers from stuttering, has broken shadows and lacks graphical effects and other bugs.

It runs exactly like on the video with "night shadows" that are exclusive to PC version.
Funny you think 720p 60 limited is better than how it is running on the video. 
You need just ONE Mod that's drag and drop, Fusion Fix, this fixes most of the framerate issues, missing graphics effects, issues, etc...
This is from a small team of devs in their free time and they've also managed to expand the graphics options to include more modern like features such as shadows being CHSS, sun shafts, volumetric fog, and still improving the framerate and hardware usage.

That's simply not the case. There are plenty of drag and drop solutions out there. I've used this one. You just download it, copy and paste, and play. Zero issues, flawless experience.

This does not fix all the issues I have mentioned, the game has LOD issues that need a complete revamped in coding. I have hundreds of hours of GTA4, I know personally some modders that are still active working to bring new improvements to the engine and I know what I am talking about because I have spent many hours of my life trying to fix all the problems this game has with mods and different fixes. You can fix many things with some mod collections, yes, but the game is very outdated and has issues that are unfixable and probably only Rockstar can fix
Denying that the port is a mess is weird when the whole fucking internet knows how much a disaster that port is

I hope it's not remastered by the devs who remastered GTA 3, VC & SA. Those were really horrible ports, I simple couldn't play any of them, nothing felt right, random framedrops on a modern GPU, just a shitshow. Horrible car controls, plasticky world. Jank maximum.
Max Payne 3 is pretty crap, 5 mins unskippable cutscene -> 2 mins gunplay -> 4 mins cutscene -> 4 mins gameplay. I mean seriously, not fun. Also I really hated the time dilution mechanic, imo I don't like the slow-mo mechanic in any game, it's often janky and ruins the flow for me.
Max Payne 1 was pretty fun imo although it felt like clear a room full of enemies, save, redo. The graphics esp. art still holds up.
GTA 4 on the other hand, with the fusion mod is exceptional. One of the best games ever made. The driving, the characters, the writing, it's brilliant. The world however look a bit grey, rough today but it has aged like wine. Must play.

I finished the game with that modpack about 2 months ago, from start to finish, including a lot of side content. I have no idea what you're talking about. Nothing was broken, and the LOD handling was exactly what you'd expect from a game designed to run off a spinning disc. Is there pop-in when you're going at full speed? Absolutely. But calling it broken is disingenuous.
You clearly have no idea what you're talking about. Just a few minutes ago you were saying you need to spend HOURS to make the game run. Come on now.
