Max Payne 3 - Coming Soon!!!

I have always been a hardcore fan of the Max Payne series and always wanted the developers to launch the third installment in the series. I guess my prayers are answered. So, its a reason enough to start my blog with this post.

Game Informer has displayed the artwork from Max Payne 3 on their July 2009 issue.

Take a look!



The main character, i.e. Max Payne has totally changed. You can look at the picture above. He looks more rugged, more violent and ready for some good bullet-time and shootdodging action!

Max Payne appears to be like Bruce Willis acting in DIE HARD 4.0 here.

I have never experienced the fun that I derived in Bullet-time and shootdodging while playing Max Payne. Let's see what this new installment has to offer apart from those features.

The looks would really kill, and if that wasn't enough, you can zoom into the tagline below the Max Payne 3 title, which reads,"Rockstar's Dark Hero Reborn".

The game is said to be setup in an era that is 10 years post Max Payne 2, with the rumor mills churning out the below features already:

- Max Payne is now 10 years older(obviously) and balder as well.

- Max Payne is addicted to pain killers(dunno whether this will affect the gameplay positively or negatively)

- Sao Paulo, Brazil is the location where the third installment has been set up.

- Guess, it's not a journey through the night for Paynie anymore! The game will be set up GTA style, with day and night cycles very much along the gameplay, which is quite interesting(gives us a true feel of the game).

- The environment will be fully destructible. Hit anything and everything. Every action will have an equal and opposite reaction.

- Guess what...yeah...the BULLET TIME is much more advanced and more violent than ever!

- Online gamers have something in store for them. No details out yet.

- Max Payne 3 will be powered by the RAGE technology from the gaming giant Rockstar.

Here's what Sam Houser, Founder of Rockstar Games said back in March,

"We're starting a new chapter of Max's life with this game. This is Max as we've never seen him before, a few years older, more world-weary and cynical than ever. We experience the downward spiral of his life after the events of Max Payne 2 and witness his last chance for salvation."

Though we are not sure about anything being announced by the game developers officially, we can expect some good clarification from the Game Informer issue hitting the shelves this July.

Max Payne 3 is said to be hitting PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in winter 2009.

So let's wait for our new and improved Bullet-Time Hero....MAX PAYNE.

The journey through the night...is about to end...to give way to a new dawn into the Max Payne series!

And we keep driving...into the night...I love these lines...let's see what we have in Max Payne 3...the song must continue...
