Oh wow, Nathan Drake has really let himself go since the original Uncharted. What's that? Oh, sorry, this is actually Max Payne 3. So anyway, Rockstar has loosed the first screens of the latest game in its gritty, film noir inspired action series. ~~Bruce Willis~~ Max obviously got wrong directions from Google Maps and has ended up in Uncharted 2 -- or is it Resident Evil 5? No, it really is the next Max Payne. Can't say it's really the look we were expecting. How about you?

[Thanks, danzaiver!]

@ lepijaki,

If there was ever a perfect time to reuse the ASCII Picard pic from Temidien, it would definitely be right about now, (but I won't reuse it since I don't like bandwagons or chuck wagons or station wagons, or little red wagons, or wagon wheels or; you get the point).

I want a Condemned 2 clone!

Bullshit this franchise will be shit

That game looks cool, but where's Max Payne? o_O

I miss the old Max already.... :(

Why racist people, always say dumb things... Probaly because when you're racist your... DUMB !

Anyway, Max Payne 3 looks gorgeous !!!

Talk about the pot calling the kettle black !!

** Here's a hint; s-p-e-l-l-i-n-g !! **

When did Max Payne become such a hot daddy? MGS4 buttocks-mania all over again.

I'm still cool. It's just that bitch Linka gave me the clap.

Doesn't look like the other Max Paynes, judging by that pic, but I know it will still kick ass.

Good night Vancouver!

if it played exactly like Uncharted does I don't think that would be a bad thing.

It looks like the Ed Norton Hulk world to me.

Someone said that São Paulo looks a lot like NYC and that's actually true.
Paulista avenue. Just wiki it. Itaim Bibi. Liberdade - the brazilian Chinatown. There is so much to see there, people!

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE ROCKSTAR? THIS IS NOT THE MAX PAYNE THAT I KNOW AND LOVE FROM THE FIRST TWO GAMES!!!!! Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dr.Octagonapus 8[=================================== BLAHHHHHHHHHH

this is not são paulo.
favelas on hillsides? PALM TREES? dude, rockstar could very well pay for a fieldtrip so the art directors would know what they're doing...

I'm getting more and more pumped for this. You people better buy it, damn it!

Oh, new Max Payne game?
Lets see......not developed by Remedy, MP not voiced by James McCaffrey, not set in NY, running on GTA IV engine.....

F8CK YOU,Rockstar games.

This what happens when Remedy doesn't develop Max Payne.

WTF??? DAYLIGHT??? COLORS??? YOU ARE DEAD TO ME, MAX PAYNE!!!

As long as the game plays fun :) and add something new, i'll be happy XD But if it's the same, just with improved graphics... well, i'll just have to wait and see :)

Hey, it's Bruce Wilson from "What Just Happened."

*Willis

goddamnit

Looks great, and will be a day one purchase.

Modern Warfare 2?

"He's got a contact in Rio." I wonder if that's what the voiceover meant.

*Sigh*

The noir style was what elevated the first two Max Payne games to something beyond an average third-person shooter. Without that, I'm really not interested in the game. Especially when it looks like something as derivative of Uncharted or RE5 as those pics would seem to imply.

I don't approve. The character is ruined. Black suit, noir-ish film filters - that's what I want.

thought the guy looked like fisher from the new splinter cell?

Yippie-ka-yayyyy Motherfu-

Oh wait.....

Looks good even though it looks like RE5, Uncharted 2 & dare I say it Conviction as well but in the end it's all about game play as much as graphics. I just think the stereotypical hooded enemy are funny as hell.

I sure love shooting nameless foreign enemies in boring run-down desert-like environments over and over again so I'll buy like 50 copies of this boring-looking game.

LOL...for a moment there I did think that was Uncharted 2.

Seriously, what the hell is wrong with this game?!
It hasn't the same atmosphere as the other 2, with all those film filters and noir.

On top of it, Sao Paulo isn't ANYTHING like those pictures. Google Paulista Avenue. Sao Paulo is a freaking urban city, actually, it is the city biggest of the south hemisphere, with 22mil people living on it.

Rockstar is screwing it up BIG TIME.

One thing's 4 sure. They have battered Max Payne. Why the heck did they have to change the way he looks. He was far better than chicken necks around in other games. And common he wasn't as old as JM in Die-Hard series. By making him bald and fat they have murdered him and his image. That sarcastic smile and wet suits in New-York were haunting when I played MP1 & 2. This series was the only one which I have played twice over just to get the feel again. Looking @ the screenshot makes me puke over that SOB who designed this new MP.
