It's been a while since we've heard much about Max Payne 3, with the exception of screenshots that were released from time to time. Just last week, Rockstar Games officially released the first poster for the next installment of the Max Payne franchise. In addition to the poster release, Rockstar Games has also confirmed that Max Payne 3 will release sometime in March 2012 for the Xbox 360, Playstation 3, and PC. The game will also take place right after Max Payne 2, that was developed by Remedy Entertainment, along with the first game. Sure this seems awesome already, but this isn't stopping them with the hype train that many will be jumping into really soon.
Today, as promised since last week, the debut trailer has been released which has caused some nostalgia for many fans; from the music, to Max's narrative that we've come to know and love, and the character of Max himself! In addition, we also get the dark, gritty, and grimy feel of the story and the location, along with what's going on in Sao Paulo. Although, one thing has had many fans worried; Max's look when the game was debuted a few years ago via Game Informer magazine. As explained by Rockstar Games, we will be seeing flashbacks here and there, from which we will be seeing Max's look transition as time goes on as he drops into the downward spiral, which he goes through in the previous game. This time around, it looks like it gets worse for him.
Check out the trailer right below!
One of the first things that will be a unique experience that many are very curious about is the inclusion of multiplayer. As quoted by the post at Rockstar Games' "Newswire" section on their site:
In addition to an expansive single-player campaign, Max Payne 3 will also be the first entry in the series to introduce a thorough and engrossing multiplayer experience. In a unique twist, Max Payne 3 multiplayer delivers a compelling experience that dynamically alters maps and mode progression for all players in a match. Along with traditional multiplayer modes, Max Payne 3 will also include a deep reward and leveling system, persistent clans and multiple strategic load-out options.
As a fan of the original games, I'm not sure how multiplayer will be (as previously confirmed in EDGE magazine some months back), let alone, Max Payne always being a single player experience. Like many of you, I'm a bit more anxious to see more news that Rockstar Games will release in the next few months. I'm still not exactly down with Max's Bruce Willis look though...
I'm pretty sure we saw this coming. Even after being told that Battlefield 3's PC version would run at 60FPS, while the console version would run at 30FPS, we could've assumed that some sacrifices had to be made to get the console versions of the game on par. Well, looking at the very first Fault Line trailers, I don't think a console could've had that much power to get a game to play like that - after all, those trailers were from the PC version of the game.
Although, that's one thing. What was announced by DICE, the developers behind the big franchise, was that multiplayer will be getting some cutbacks for consoles. The most unique thing about Battielfied is the number of players on one- er-...battlfield, heh! On the PC version of the game, which is obviously the lead platform, will contain 64 players all at once, while console will support only up to 24.
Here's what Patrick Bach, executive producer at DICE had to say:
If you want the same quality of game, I would say it's really, really hard. We tried to get more players in [to the console version] but then you need to scale down all the graphics, scale down all the destructibility, and sometimes you need to scale down all the map sizes. Everything is a compromise on: where do you cut?
Everything is a compromise. It's not that we're evil or stupid. We didn't choose not to have more players - we would love to do 64 players on console but then we would have to cut away so much; people would get very upset that it looked worse, played worse and wasn't as fun as the PC version. We would never do that because the fun is always more important."
Another thing that has been confirmed by Bach was that maps will be more "compact" - just a bit smaller. From the sound of how he puts it, he is promising that it won't be anything major.
When we say they are smaller, it's not that we have cut them in half. But we tried to compact them slightly to keep the action up. If you compare it to Battlefield: Bad Company 2, the maps weren't really small on console. We actually had huge maps even for console. We have the same kind of angle on it right now [in Battlefield 3]. We want to create the same experience for PC as for consoles
As October is just a few mere months away, expect to hear way more about Battlefield soon. Not to mention that the multiplayer beta starts not long before the release date.
It's been such a shame that Sony Online Entertainment and Playstation Network's outage has gone on this long, but Sony is working very hard to get it all back up and secure for every single one of us. It's not just that, but they've also have been trying to make us all happy after all this time that with no online play.
Now we already know about the Playstation Network's "Welcome Back" program, but what about SOE and all of the games that servers are running from? Well, it's a good thing to hear since SOE will be compensating for a good amount of things actually. The first thing that's really worrying gamers are the days that they're still getting charged for on their credit cards for the days they're not playing; "30 days of game time added to the end of the current billing cycle in addition to one day for each day the system is down," as stated by their recent post.
That's not all, though. Players will also be compensated with cool extras in games that they're playing as well, such as DC Universe Online, Free Realms, Everquest and many more. The following is a quote from their statement, which can be found, right here
DC Universe™ Online: Batman™ and Two-Face™ Inspired Masks and 30 Marks of Distinction
Free Realms®: Free daily items (7 to collect)
Clone Wars Adventures™: Count Dooku v2 Outfit
EverQuest®: A series of events, including Double XP, Double Rare Mob Spawns and Double Faction Gains
EverQuest II and EverQuest II Extended: A series of events, including Double XP, Double Guild XP, Loot Bonanza, and City Festivals
Vanguard: Saga of Heroes®: A series of Double XP events
Star Wars Galaxies™: Bounty Hunter Statue, a miniature model of Boba Fett's ship, the Slave I™
Magic: The Gathering - Tactics™: Four of each of these spells: "Ivory Mask", "Duress" and "Angelheart Vial", plus 500 Station Cash
PoxNora®: Limited edition Carrionling, Welcome Back 5K Gold Award Tournaments and two Draft Tournaments, plus 500 Station Cash
For our lifetime subscribers, we'll grant in-game currency; specifically 20,000 coins for Free Realms, 7,500 Galactic Credits for Clone Wars Adventures and 10 Marks of Distinction for DC Universe Online (in addition to the items listed above).
And finally, our Station Access subscribers will receive 500 Station Cash, in addition to the subscription time and items listed above.
Don't fret, online gamers! Both PSN and SOE services will be up sometime soon!
