Max Payne 3 details from Game Informer hit the web
Leaving the gritty film noir New York City of Max Payne and its sequel behind for a more tropical environment (though still a major city), Max Payne's next game takes him to São Paulo, Brazil. According to the latest Game Informer scans from the magazine's July issue cover story, the "disrepute" Mr. Payne has fallen into can be attributed to 12 "lost years" between the events of the first two Paynes and the upcoming game.
Rockstar confirmed to Game Informer the addition of multiplayer as well, though -- big surprise! -- the company is keeping mum on too many details regarding whether it'll be co-op, versus, or the always mysterious "something else." For all the details, you'll want to check out the magazine when it hits your mailbox or local brick-and-mortar.

Whoever he is, he forgot to pack a toothbrush.
sony boy @ Jun 13th 2009 3:54PM
he kinda looks like a pedo.

The Max Payne 2 character change was a step in the right direction, but this new character is just ridiculous.
John @ Jun 13th 2009 4:57PM
The guy who has nothing to lose?
ONi @ Jun 13th 2009 5:52PM
@John
except, ... you know... his hair : )
CH3BURASHKA @ Jun 13th 2009 6:35PM
Hopefully all of Remedy reads Joystiq, and react appropriately to all of our bitching.
That dude sucks! Bring the real Max back!

I actually just beat Max Payne 2 for the first time a couple weeks ago. I was starting to get used to his new look from the first one, and now I have to get used to this?
Young_Nastyman @ Jun 14th 2009 12:04AM
@CH3BURASHKA
Well, Ubisoft heard the bitching about Emo Fisher, so maybe
Deadpool @ Jun 14th 2009 12:21AM
Wait...wait...wait. They turned Max Payne into Obadiah Stane?

Sean Connery?
C.A. @ Jun 13th 2009 2:38PM
He looks closer to mountain-man version Sam Fischer than Max Payne. "Arrrrgg."
BIGGEN (LIVE-PSN: BIGGEN1103) @ Jun 13th 2009 9:11PM
looks like a pissed off sean connery
tmacairjordan87 @ Jun 13th 2009 2:43PM
Wait...so we don't get to see his super cheesy "old" face anymore?

tmacairjordan87 @ Jun 13th 2009 2:46PM
Ah, I forgot about the vanilla ice hair too. Damn Rockstar for changing it :(
Arturo @ Jun 13th 2009 2:46PM
Wow, we did the same thing. Creeeeepy haha.
tmacairjordan87 @ Jun 13th 2009 2:49PM

Lunastra78 (PSN: lunastra78) @ Jun 13th 2009 2:46PM
Would be scary to meet that guy in a dark alley hehe.
The Dark Wayne @ Jun 13th 2009 10:24PM
wow, Mark Wahlberg was spot on with the diarhea face
Lunastra78 (PSN: lunastra78) @ Jun 13th 2009 2:45PM
Old Snake, old Max, old Sam (Fisher)... is this a trend? Will we be seeing old Mario, old Lara and old Sonic soon?
soniccar @ Jun 13th 2009 3:08PM
Sam has always been older, they even had some line in one of the games about how people his age use the stairs to stay in shape, then they showed him doing something acrobatic.
KlatchZ @ Jun 13th 2009 3:24PM
I won't be surprised~! hahaha
ArchiGamer @ Jun 13th 2009 3:37PM
Old Lara? I wonder about the Boob-physics on her....
Sly [PSN SniperChameleon] @ Jun 13th 2009 5:21PM
old mario... *shudders*
that would be the most pedo-like video game character EVER.

This game truly is The Fall Of Max Payne. Looks ridiculous. Lets hope Remedy makes up for it with Alan Wake.
ratm @ Jun 13th 2009 3:02PM
Don't judge the game by it's cover. I think.
ShadowXOR @ Jun 13th 2009 3:46PM
I judge a game by the developer, at least before it comes out. And the developer isn't Remedy, therefore it fails.
Eggy @ Jun 13th 2009 4:03PM
It's not like Remedy is that great a developer, they have only released a few games of which Max Payne is the only recent one.
I will refrain from commenting on the looks as long as I have now idea about the feel. GTA 4 looked brilliant but turned out to be rather bland and boring imo.
Animus @ Jun 13th 2009 2:57PM
Sean Connery? Is that you?
NoughtSoClever @ Jun 13th 2009 3:06PM
Looks like he didn't take the movie reviews too well.
Night Elve @ Jun 13th 2009 3:29PM
Wait. Will it be released for PC too? My best memories of playing Max Payne 1 & 2 were on the computer and not in PSX and PS2.
ShadowXOR @ Jun 13th 2009 3:47PM
Many games already have bullet time implemented in multiplayer. It wouldn't be anything new or shocking.
Night Elve @ Jun 13th 2009 4:39PM
Not sure how your answer is related to my question. =|
Sly [PSN SniperChameleon] @ Jun 13th 2009 6:02PM
he was replying to the dude below you. wonky comment system moves up comments sometimes.
samik @ Jun 13th 2009 3:40PM
Its like watching Bruce Willis in Die Hard 4 and comparing with his pic from the first move
And how would multiplayer work with bullet time? And I hope they dont make this a console exclusive, all that high precision shooting works best with mkb
