    Max Payne 3, developed by Rockstar Vancouver, tells the story of a retired police detective embroiled in a world of corruption, turmoil and intense violence.

    Quote

    The award-winning Max Payne franchise put players in the role of Max Payne, a hard-boiled New York City detective with a penchant for violence, out to avenge the death of his family. The latest installment delivers more of the classic elements and hyper-intense action that fans have come to love, while moving the story of Max in a new direction."We’re starting a new chapter of Max's life with this game," said Sam Houser, Founder of Rockstar Games. "This is Max as we’ve never seen him before, a few years older, more world-weary and cynical than ever. We experience the downward spiral of his life after the events of Max Payne 2 and witness his last chance for salvation."

    Since leaving the NYPD and New York itself behind, Max has drifted from bad to worse. Double-crossed and a long way from home, Max is now trapped in a city full of violence and bloodshed, using his weapons and instincts in a desperate search for the truth and a way out.

    Max Payne 3 will be available in winter 2009 for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.

    I have volumetric fog, I just didn't overuse it and It's a bit subtle. Might try to increase it a little bit more.

    About the color, I tried pulling more purple to the overall lighting, but I really dislike how it looks like in this engine! I'll see what I can do with it, the TimeOfDay editor has a color filter i might try to fiddle with that.

    thanks for the feedback!

    Here's my first attempt to compare what we got, to the actual scene of the movie.

    Oh, and I'm also studding possibilities for the second shot, where the APC will be the main piece, here's one of them, I liked this one, but most probably I'm gonna pick a spot in front of the North Lock door for the 2nd shot.

    [Blocked Image: https://migrationtest.mapcore.org/public/style_emoticons/default/mapcore_smilies/emot_shakehead.gif] Please god, don't let this game be the biggest disappointment of 2009.

    Btw, which engine is this running on?

    Edit:

    Quote

    Wolfenstein uses id's Tech 4 engine, which was the technology behind Doom 3 and Quake 4. The game is being developed by Raven Software, using engine technology from id Software, for the PC, Playstation 3 and Xbox 360. The modifications to the game engine include depth of field effects, as well as the addition of a supernatural realm, called The Veil. While in The Veil the player has access to certain special abilities, such as the power to slow down time, to get around obstacles that exist in the real world, or even to be able to defeat enemies that have an otherwise impenetrable shield.

    Btw just saw that TV show and the game does indeed looks good, I was a bit more impressed seeing ingame footage and gameplay, than that crappy trailer. Oh and what's with all the green?!

  • What have you purchased recently?

    Quote from VoodooBenshee

    its so great to buy games at amazon.co.uk. for all those games i payed something about 25 euros (and all are uncut, not that german cut shit). in germany at amazon.de i would pay for all 80 euros

    yeah, I buy ALL my games at amazon.co.uk for two years now! They're cheap (even with the VAT and Shipping), non-censured versions, and they arrive in your mail box in 2/3 days.

    yeah man I know, it's some sort of brownish-green texture. It's exactly the color I painted the difuse with!

    but I'm making the "Aliens APC for the exterior scene", not just the "Aliens APC", if you know what I mean. I tried making it a lot more green, but it just just looked bad and out of place, and the way it is right now it looks a bit more faithful to the scene I'm trying to recreate. So i fine tweaked the material and diffuse color in the engine material editor to achieve that final look you see on the two screenshots I've posted.

    The Wet/Rain shader looks so awesome in motion, but on screenshots it's nothing but noise, so I'm considering removing it for the final submitions screenshots.
