BigJKO Posted June 25, 2003 Author Share Posted June 25, 2003 Two more screens: Max certainly looks a tad different... And that blurryness in the left image might just be some visual-effect caused by the muzzle-flash. And that's mighty cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamandMax Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 Is it me, or does Max Payne really look like Guy Pearce in this one screenshot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crunchy in milk Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 Is it defenitely the same guy? I wonder what his motivation to go psycho this time is? Is he a cop again in this one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAL-9000 Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 I don't know what to say about the second one! I have been digging the net to find some more info but I didn't find anything useful. However, I agree with you Crounchy! He sure doesn't look like Max Payne and I most certainly don't know the plot. The only thing I am sure is that I hope this one is going to have a good plot! -Gabriel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 His look in this game reminds me a lot more of Max Payne 1's box art drawing of him than anything else really. Good to see the "i smell a really nasty fart" look has been left behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aranolorion Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 look very nice indeed. the first game was great, if a wee bit too short. will the narrative maintain the same dark, gritty feel, now that max has relieved himself ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marek Posted June 26, 2003 Share Posted June 26, 2003 Hopefully the story will not be as horribly cliched as the first one. Some say that it's okay to have crappy dialogue because Max Payne was meant to be a self-concious parody, but that's complete nonsense in my opinion. The only self-concious bit is when he thinks he's inside a game . It would also be nice if the story won't be told in contrived ways like that top-level maffia correspondence that's been casually left behind just so Max can pick it up and unravel the mystery. What was the mystery, anyway? Max Payne has one of the most convoluted plotlines in gaming history. That having said, I thought the atmosphere of the game was pretty damn good. The larger narrative structure was quite nice too, with the flashback and dream things going on. If the second game manages to keep that, while dramatically improving the acting and dialogue, I think I'm going to enjoy it a lot. The gameplay of the first game made you feel like you're a bad ass kung fu fighting machine that no one wants to mess with, which is exactly what action games should strive for.

BigJKO Posted June 26, 2003 Author Share Posted June 26, 2003 Oh, god those dream levels, or more accurately the platform and maze level, were boring as hell! I sure hope they don't include those levels in the same form in the sequels. They'd have been alright, if the follow the blood-maze and the endless, excact-same looking, maze hadn't been used.

BigJKO Posted June 28, 2003 Author Share Posted June 28, 2003 New pictures, and PC Zone has a preview on it in its newest issue. Apparently, the title refers also to the period of the year that the game takes place in, Fall. And those worrying the love story will overshadow the dark, gritty atmosphere of the first one will have nothing to fear. And, the story is much deeper this time, and will not be presented completely through the comic-style of the first one. It will be more integrated into the gameplay. And lastly, the bald dude is apparently Max's new partner. EDIT: Right, the link. Silly me. http://www.fragland.net/index.php?page=screenshots&gid=1327 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
