Max Payne 3 - Announced

Quote from Thrik

Would be cool if they did something like the second series of 24 where he's all dishevelled, retired, and fucked up, but ultimately has to return to the job for some compelling reason. Then the Max Payne theme kicks in after the first chapter as he emerges from the bathroom after having a shave, and puts on his leather coat.

Lost? (bearded jack)

Er? I suppose there was some bearded Jack, but I think the 24 comparison is more relevant.

(Plus series two of 24 came out years before Lost.)

What's wrong with the link?! now I'm curious.

It might not work correctly if hotlinked. Try this:

That MP3 artwork is really avarage

Its funny, Sam Fisher went down the road to the beard and long hair in the new Splinter Cell that sorta disappeared off the radar.

":19ga3s5l]Course it did, project was canceled... or completely revamped.

Really, I missed that. It looked really good. Hopefully they stick to the 24 style, rouge agent direction.

/me hopes Gibbs is back

but judging from the fact that they did a poor edit of one of the pics from mp2's photosession, he wont be there again (oficially atleast).

I bet this art stuff is about 2 years old.

That's kind of cool, actually. I was thinking it didn't really look much like Max Payne in the previous games, but I guess it does.

the thing that was throwing me off about that concept art was how friggin wide his head is, he looked like an old washed up football player. But that lovely GIF explains it, they drew over half a picture of a not-quite-straight-on headshot and mirrored it, so it makes his head look huuuuuuge.

Seriously, thats really half assed. Looks like something you'd find on deviantart. Or maybe halfway through a speedpainting video on youtube. Even most of the blood splatter is mirrored.. look at the tip of his nose..

What the fuck? Did they give it the go-ahead, and decided it needed to be announced in the next 45 minutes? QUICK throw some art together!

I mean, it looks like something I'd make... That's not a compliment.

but anyways, I won't comment on the game itself. I reserve judgment until I play it. you never know.

Eh, on the teaser page itself you can barely see the other side of his face — if you look again it's not at all obvious that it's mirrored, and things like the mouth are still asymmetrical.

I think the width of his head is correct, it's just that he has a beard and more neck muscle which makes him look a lot bigger. Most people look fatter with a proper beard.
