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.

Back to Max Payne, so any more thoughts from you gamers? still worth me getting this or give it a miss..... i need something whilst diablo 3 keeps F&*king me over in this patch loop which wont let me play.

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.

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
