Max Payne 3 allegedly gets European release date, Rockstar disagrees
UK retail site PLAY has Max Payne 3 all set for an October 30, 2009 bullet-timed released. When Live Playstation followed up with the retail outlet for comment on where it got the date, the site was told the gaming chain was given the information by "the developers of the game."
We followed up with Rockstar Games -- the publisher -- and a representative stated it hasn't announced a release date. In fact, all the rep could do was refer us to the corporate announcement that the game was coming this winter. If things change, we'll be sure to update.

You know when I first heard the new Max Payne would feature a harder edge more cynical Max, I laughed because well...how the hell is that possible?
Well damn it they pulled it off! And all it took was some spaghetti sauce, a beard, and a shaved head.

Lol @ Spaghetti Sauce

It almost looks like they stole the old 'Emo-Sam" style from Ubisoft and just shaved his head.

wowza...
PLAY.com have generated a lot of free advertising for themselves over the past week or two with these false release dates...
Somebody in their marketing department deserves a pay rise!!!

Play shoudn't be trusted for future game dates. Ever. They constantly change, I've seen it many a time.

Wow. Just...wow.

The fact that you thought play.com sets release dates correctly made me laugh.

I just noticed on the live playstation link it says november 30th. And then he says 20th november for the US.

I dreamt last night that I was Alan Wake saving the princess from a mildly bald Max Payne with a stubble on a hunted version of Adabat Temple.

They also claim Gran Turismo 5 is coming out this year and that it was Sony that told them so.
eNrique @ Jun 22nd 2009 1:24PM
I remember James Armstrong from SCEE saying that Gran Turismo will come out this holiday in Europe.

@eNrique: They also mentioned Heavy Rain in the same sentence as a 2009 title and we know for a fact it's coming out 2010.
We'll have to wait and see I suppose.

This is bullshit, I hate play.com, They always pull release dates out their arse. The Gran Turismo 5 dates keep getting shifted around like pass the parcel!" Bloody irritating.
