Will we ever get another Max Payne game?

Nah

3 already gave us a literal "walk off into the sunset" ending. Unless they can contrive another reason for Max to start blasting fools again, he's retired.

Hopefully not. Without Sam Lake we got Max Payne 3, which was Max Payne in name only.

Alan Wake killed off Max Payne (Casey) in the novels which is Sam Lake retiring the character in a meta way.

>>385062576
>Unless they can contrive another reason for Max to start blasting fools again, he's retired.
They already contrived a reason for him to do so in 3. What's to stop them from just doing it again?

>>385062828

Nigga's old. He's easily in his 60s/70s in MP3, and the gameplay reflected that. MP4 would probably have him driving around in a wheelchair.

Beyond that, Mona's dead, he's got no progeny to carry on his name, the Payne is stopped. Unless Rockstar goes for a reboot, there's no logical progression for a 4th game.

>>385063153
>He's easily in his 60s/70s
Late 50's maybe.
>70's
Anon, please.

>>385062731
But Alan Wake came out before MP3

>>385063153
He's actually in his late 40s in MP3, but looks older due to alcohol abuse and whatnot. But the point stands, his story seems over after MP3. I could see a full reboot or a soft one, starting after MP2.

>>385062731
But Casey isn't Max, anon.

>>385063394
His story was over after 2, they still managed to trot out a sequel anyway.

Hopefully never because Max Payne 3 was garbage

>>385062576
Prequel or interquel, perhaps. Early days as a street cop, or maybe cover the time between leaving the NYPD and becoming security detail.

>>385062585
>>385062828
Why is it so popular to hate on MP3? It was a great game

>>385063275

I'm imagining max with a walker slowly moving through levels now. How would bullet time work?

What if they just made a new game IP that used the same mechanics? Why do we need endless sequels to IPs when game mechanics can live on in other ways?

What if they just turned Max into Wolverine, to compensate for old age.

>>385064238
That time is covered in Max Payne 3. He meets up with the other guy in the bar and blasts some don's son or whatever, so he decides to give brazil a shot.

>>385064278
>Why is it so popular to hate on MP3?
Because they played Max Payne 1 and 2. It's the same reason it's popular to hate on Bioshock 2 and Batman: Arkham Origins; people dislike cash grab sequels.

>>385064362
Because then you're just making a Max Payne game without the brand recognition on the cover. And people will play your game and say "isn't this just max payne?" Insert whatever franchise you want in the MP slot.

>>385064481
People who actually played BioShock 2 and Arkham Origins are actually split on whether those are good or not. It's not outright hate or love for either of them.

https://youtu.be/-_RrJPX3E78

So good.
Better than ingame cutscenes will ever be. I'm still pissed they didn't include them in Max Payne 3.

>>385064561

It would have Rockstar on the cover though which would help garner attention. In fact having Max Payne in the name of Max Payne 3 didn't do anything for it since it was pretty a niche PC franchise. Red Dead Redemption had no real brand history and it did great. Make new successful brands. How do you think successful brands begin at all? Out of the ether?

There was nothing noir about Max Payne 3. Also, they ruined Max Payne's character, both physically and mentally. Doing slow mo dodges with a beer belly was the stupidest looking shit ever.

>>385064481
Max Payne 1 >Max Payne 3 > Max Payne 2

2 was ten times the cash grab 3 was with all the shit they reused, 2 is the shittier game with the worse writing and the boss fight is the boss fight from 1 rehashed except stupider. I've replayed max payne 1 and 3 at least 5 times each. I tried to replay Max Payne 2 more than once and I just can't do it.

>>385062381
Max Payne 4 is going to be a restaurant sim where Max is just trying to make a decent living in his non action adventuring retirement.

Bullet time will be used to prepare and plate dishes incredibly fast to impress customers for extra tips.

It's been what, 13, 14 years now? The IP is gone, let it rest in peace.

>>385064820

>where do you think successful brands come from?

I don't know who you're talking to, because my post doesn't say anything like "don't make new IPs" anywhere.

Lots of people played Max Payne not just for its gameplay, but for the character, atmosphere and its unique noir feel. Why do you think people shit so much on MP3? The gameplay was amazing, but story was all over the place and it wasn't done in the same style as the previous games.

Quantum Break was just further proof that Remedy wants to make films/television, not vidya. Alan Wake was already attempting to be Twin Peaks Light, Quantum Break was literally a TV show with segments of shooting, any new project will probably be more rife with cutscenes than Max Payne 3.

That's all you really need. Besides, they at least gave visual reasoning for it, rather than some purely arbitrary "can't carry more than 2 guns at once" limitation
>cover
maybe if you're playing with a controller, using cover gets you killed faster

if anything, it felt pretty close to MP2 in terms of pacing, as in "narrative jumps all the fuck over the place while Max tries to remember what happened".

As a guy who has played all three Max Payne games, MP3 is by far the best in terms of gameplay and story. Anybody who says otherwise is just a nostalgiafag complaining about "muh comic cutscenes"

>>385066569

>>385064481

>>385066521
You get to see an old, cynical Max who has lost everything and is trying to restart himself just to have everything fuck up again. Also the monologues are WAY better than the first two games.

>You get to see an old, cynical Max who has lost everything and is trying to restart himself just to have everything fuck up again.
That's nice and all, but why did they have to pick such a shit setting?
>Also the monologues are WAY better than the first two games.
Aw hell no. Not even if I ignore them replacing the god tier graphical novels with cutscenes.

>>385066080
Sure 3 weapons are enough to beat the game, but a more varied selection like in the previous games is way more fun.
Are you saying that cover is a superfluous mechanic? Because that sounds like pretty shit design to me. The only reason it's in there is to conform to standard TPS gameplay, which is the exact opposite of what it should play like.
Also MP2 only jumps around once, and that's only because it's told in medias res, MP3 is too but there are several additional instances, such as the new york flashback and that one level with the cruise stopped in the canal that continue the pattern and make the game feel kind of schizophrenic

>>385065870
He's got the same build as Michael from GTAV - strong as fuck but has stopped maintaining fitness a long time ago.

>>385066928
>That's nice and all, but why did they have to pick such a shit setting?
Because he wants to get away from everything familiar. Also most mercenary shit goes down in Southern America so it makes sense. Also Max was on pretty much self destruct mode at the start of the game.

>Aw hell no. Not even if I ignore them replacing the god tier graphical novels with cutscenes.
They are good. Maybe not AS good as this guy is implying but they fit with Max's cynical world view.

>>385062576

Well, technically Max didn't outright state she's dead.

And I never got the whole argument that somehow the setting wasn't noirish enough. What, running through warehouses, docks, offices, nightclubs, condemned buildings, police stations, and airports are too different from the two games before it? Florida has palm trees and that shit too, but you probably wouldn't have complained about that location as much.

>>385070064

This. IIRC MP2 was made in 18 months after the first one to cash in on the success of the MP1. That's why it's so short.
It was an unnecessary sequel with an unnecessary story attached to it.
The boss fight at the end was shit. Slow-mo was broken. The only reason MP2 is always in the same category as MP1 is because they were both released way back then and they were both developed by Remedy.
Max Payne 3 is relatively new which means it's shit according to contrarians and nostalgia faggots.

You recall incorrectly. Max Payne 3 took several years to come to market after Max Payne 1. It was a continuation of a story Sam Lake wanted to tell.

>>385064278

Because it's so very much Dan Houser's work, has none of the charm or appeal of the previous games, unskippable cutscenes and yes I fucking hated the setting. I'm not an idiot to say "But gameplay totally excuses everything shitty about it" because that's the equivalent of "It's fun with friends" and that shit doesn't hold water either.

>>385075478
You mean MP2? Max Payne 1 was released in 2001. MP2 in 2003 and I heard only 18 months of those two years were spent developing it.

Get a Steam controller if you hate MKB so much, should be able to configure it any way you like. Still an odd complaint to have for a MKB game.

Then why does every console/controller game need aim assist?

She is dead, Jim. You see her grave in MP3.

>>385064238
maybe they could cover the case he and Winterson worked on when she first joined, even though it was kind of short. or they could make an MP3 where the "good ending"from MP2 is canon and Mona lives.
there are many ways they could do another game. this might be nostalgia talking but I really miss the comic book cutscenes

>>385082572
with corpse or without?

>>385082505
He doesn't have to marry her. He doesn't even have to be in a relationship. All is needed is something he cares about being threatened enough for him to return to his old ways "Unforgiven" style.

>>385082298
You mean Unforgiven.

>>385066035
yup, I felt the same way. when I first played it I would spend hours fucking around with that Kung Fu mod, man it was great.

No fucktard Samurai Jack. Fucking E-celeb bullshit

>>385082572
MP3 need not be canon or she dies in between MP3 and MP2 where MP4 takes place.

I think there's a mod for that

Link?

Leave Max alone, I say.
Also, I didn't really dislike 3 but it could not reach 1 and 2, they had their own special charme. Trying to recreate that full force would just end badly.
I could be down for a remaster but that would probably not go well either.

Thanks anon, you got me in the mood to play it again.

John Woo style third person shooters need to make a comeback.

I replayed MP1 and MP2 recently and I have to tell you, the second game is way worse than MP3 imo
the story and the whole Mona stuff felt forced, and the gameplay (while being more fluid than in the first one) is just weak, they made max a fucking superhero who's faster than lightning spinning around and shit

>>385062381
Just make a new franchise with bullet time.
Max Payne as a character is fucking done.
Turning that offhand background Dick Justice blaxploitation joke into a game would be better than having Max Payne 4

it's a rhetorical question

>27 is young

>>385093921
Don't forget, you're here forever.

>>385081910
but you can't skip levels where you just run around looking at shit, like the whole address unknown part
it was fun the first time around, but after that it totally broke the pace of the game and I always get tired of the game at that part even if I just run through it

Is Mona dead or not? I don't think she's dead because Max isn't grieving over her. I think they just had a bad breakup and he moved to get away from it all

It's one of those "it's not a bad game, it's just a bad X game". Max Payne 1 and 2 had this very heavy noir atmosphere. Winter, night time, New York city and so on. Moving the action to Brazil killed the atmosphere. It's a great shooter, but it's now what people expected it to be after previous two games.

MP1 had the best story, MP3 had the best gameplay

MP2 is the awkward middle kid and FUCKING RUINED VLAD

>>385095316
>Maaaaaaaax, dearest of all my friends!

>inb4 Max Payne 4: Gran Torino edition

Mp3's plot was infinitely better than 2s

For starters didnt dig up old characters just to diminish them

>>385062381
Though it would be great, the most recent one was a huge flop, which basically causes a lack of funding by the company

>>385095316

It dug up Max and diminish him into this whiny fuck.

>>385069356

No shit, it literally rips off Man On Fire beat for beat. They wrote an entirely different character in an entirely different setting and then just called him Max Payne.
