Scheduled for March 2012 release.

The original was one of the first games to incorporate bitmap images flattened over 3D skeletons. It was the first to use awesome "bullet time" style gameplay. And, at the time, it needed some hardcore hardware to play at maximum settings.

The mix of Noir story and comic cut scenes was a good combination.

The best bit was that you could mod the game however you saw fit.

The third won't be doing anything special like the above lol... but it seems like they're not rushing it either. That being said, MP2 did come out in 2003.

I liked the matrixed reality mod. For an amateur mod, it was very well executed.

The constipated look was classic lol. They had changed the actor in mp2. He's also the guy they're using for mp3. Apparently there will also be a multiplayer mode, although I don't think it'll be any good;

According to this guy, Multiplayer mode is apparently more fun than previously thought...

Spending Bullet Time With Friends

You're pinned behind a bus in a Sao Paulo transit depot, with a half-dozen mercenaries ready to wipe you from the face of the Earth the second you peek your head past the headlights. You keep still, planning your next move, when out of nowhere some lunatic flings himself from a second-story window and manages to shoot every single one of those armed thugs before he even hits the ground. Immediately upon impact, he pops up as if to say, "I'm good!" and then proceeds to loot each of his victims like a ravenous hobo. Right now that guy might look like the craziest man on the planet, but he's also your teammate. And he just saved your life.......

.......When you engage bullet time, anyone caught in your direct line of sight will have their movements slowed down as well, indicated by their screen suddenly turning a reddish hue. The really interesting thing about all this is that this bullet-time effect can be chained from one target to another. So if your target also happens to have his sights set on a teammate of yours, slow motion will spread to that third player as well. This gives your opponent a chance to either go for the kill he already had his eyes on or simply break from your line of sight to escape the bullet-time effect altogether. It's a clever way of balancing the slow-motion effect in a competitive multiplayer setting, giving successive targets an opportunity to avoid frustration when they're caught in anyone's bullet time force field. And when you manage to turn right around on them and counter their attack with a kill of your own, it's immensely gratifying.

So if you haven't fallen into the Diablo III craze, MAX PAYNE 3 is receiving rave reviews for re-making the third-person shooter genre.

9/10 is not bad for a game that was supposedly never meant to be made...

Gamespot Review

The Good

  • Tight, terrific gunplay intensified by bullet time and hard-hitting violence
  • Great writing, voice acting, and cutscene presentation
  • Detailed environments that get destroyed in spectacular fashion
  • Impactful sound design
  • Fun, chaotic multiplayer.

The Bad

  • Max's shootdodge maneuver is sometimes frustratingly ineffective.

The game is scheduled for release this week - I can't wait.

Make sure you list your PC specs up the top of the pc and games section in the setup thread.

Never got to play AVP but always wanted to.

Something I never mentioned is that "Max Payne 3 was made in parallel with the console versions and is NOT a port to PC." In fact, the game pushes your PC's limits much like that of battlefield 3. "You're gaming experience is only limited by the capabilities of your machine."

If you're a PC buff, you HAVE to check out this link…

The benefits of having a high end PC are well paid off with Max Payne 3.

    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
