I hope they don't trip over that bar, it's dangerous how they leave it on the floor

Oh wait, maybe those are my expectations of Rockstar

"Actually we are aiming for 'barely passable' with our new product"

Is that not what "Rockstar's standards" translates to now, after The Defective Edition?

I barely remember the story and original levels over the Kung Fu mod and Matrix Lobby level because The Matrix was the hottest shit at the time and Max Payne was the perfect game to turn into The Matrix because of its bullet time mechanic.

I hope the remake is just as moddable as the original.

Is the third game any good? I avoided it solely on the promotional material, it looked very much like "not Max Payne".

The setting doesn't really fit the theme of the previous two games but there are a few sections in New York that are absolutely true to the originals. The gameplay is great as well, probably the best shooting I've ever seen in a 3rd person game. I can definitely recommend checking it out.

Also great fun in first person with a mod.

Thanks for the recommendation, I might try it out, I was actually looking for something to play.

I would love that. But I doubt they can recreate that neo-noir style from the original. It probably ends up some third person action shooter. Well one can hope

Mafia remake ended up being a great one, I know they're not the same devs, but Remedy does well generally
