Having played the first Max Payne way back when, I think that the trailer is going for a more 'Kane and Lynch' guerrilla look than the graphic novel noire presentation of the original.
I could very well turn out to be a well crafted game worthy of Rockstar's reputation but I just don't see much 'Max Payne' about this game.
It isn't really a 'normal' 3DS game. Its got more production values than pretty much anything else out there. Still, at $40 it should be much more appealing despite being worth $50.
I'm not against 2d games, I like some of the modern ones.
99% of ios games are 99 cents. Xbox live arcade games are $5-$10.
If you like 'copy and paste 2d' games for $50 then that's fine. Don't be ignorant to the cost of producing these 2D Mario games; Nintendo is making a killing off of these 'throwbacks'.
Me, I'd like to see Nintendo innovate and stop whoring out my childhood experiences.
Sadly, I think you are correct in pointing out the correlation between 2D games and sales.
Excluding Zelda, Nintendo lost me last generation with the direction of the DS and the Wii. Unfortunately, I think it'll be the same this time around :(
