Majorly impressed by this, took a while to get going but fantastic so far.

Also the engine is phenomenal to look this good, and run this smoothly on 7 year old 360 hardware is plain crazy

Engine will be 1 revision behind the new GTA, New GTA one will be even better. Wondering if they actually holding off for the new consoles on that one.
I swear and hope MS lied when they said no new console at E3 as they wont have anything for the event if they dont. New GTA as a launch title for the new console - would be sweeet!

Totally agree, I hope the next GTA is indeed geared towards meatier hardware, with that said though I thought the 360 was well past its sell by date but somehow they made Payne look fabulous, a swansong for the current gen perhaps as I'm not sure something as open ended as GTA would fare anywhere near as well.

I just crave new console hardware I guess, but not the new nintyshizebox

How does the game respond on pad? I can imagine bullet time has either been made extremely easy or judging by your previous post you have to be a controller dexterity ninja to play it anywhere remotely as well as on PC?

My mate has it on pre-order, I'm scheduling in a weekend of beers and Max Payne 3 playthrough with him

I play it with no aim assists as you would expect, it's not 'hard' but it's not quite as good as I'd imagine with a mouse, entirely playable though

Completed on hard, can't see anyone being disappointed with this game, brilliant.

Why is the pc release date still 2 weeks away?

Clock'd 0Ne · May 18, 2012, 09:26:01 AM

Hopefully because they are doing it properly and not churning out yet another dodgy console port.

Picked up the Xbox version today. Not enough Black and White sequences so far. I thought this was supposed to still be Noir?

I read a review about all the split screen bits being "Ooh I went to film school" but it's just showing it's graphic novel roots.

Is there more to this game than a 5 minute cutscene after every 2 minutes of gaming?
Its a bit la noir at the moment.

Just got back from Tesco, Xbox copy hand....

I completed Max Payne before it was released as my mate worked in GAME and got it really early.

I completed Max Payne 2 before it was released because I worked for GAMESTATION and got it really early.

After 9 years I've finally got my hands on Max Payne 3 (had to wait for release this time!) and I'm sitting here looking at it because the wife is watching bloody Alcatraz!!! Man times have changed...

Too true

Bah I was wondering why everyone was saying it was out and steam saying it wasn't - stupid PC delay

zpyder · May 19, 2012, 15:53:34 PM

So long as the xbox version has an option for unlimited bullet time I'd be happy.

I bought Legend of Grimrock a few weeks ago, haven't even played it once yet

And now I'm too stuck into D3...

"The PC version of Max Payne 3, which raised a few eyebrows with its 35 GB minimum storage requirement, will ship on four DVDs, the game's Indian distributor E-Xpress Interactive has confirmed."
