I wonder if they're gonna keep the comic cutscenes or turn them into real ones?

 

Having both - art being a toggle in settings would be really cool

 The closest thing I'd imagine to a new Max Payne game would be a prequel to Max Payne 1, or a spin-off game with Mona Sax.

I need a game set between Max Payne 2 and 3. I want to know what Max was doing in between those 9 years I don't believe that he was sitting down and just getting drunk and using painkillers for 9 years something interesting must have happened during that period.

No chance they're getting rid of the comic cutscenes. That sh*t is iconic as f*ck. I'm expecting an extremely faithful recreation by Remedy with most of the story beats completely untouched. This seems very much like a passion project for the studio heads so it's gonna be good for sure. On some real sh*t though shootdodging is gonna suck ass without Euphoria. I used to spend hours just pushing Max against walls to see how his body would react.

Please tell me it won't be an exclusive game on Epic Launcher!! I want it day1 on steam!
Remedy's recent games were exclusive on trash Epic Launcher! Even Alan Wake 2 will be there and I won't buy it!!!  bruh_optimised.gif

If it's published by R* it'll likely be on the R* Launcher!

Yeah I can't see them getting rid of those tbh but as I said earlier I honestly can't even imagine such an old game with its pretty specific art style on a modern engine, it's going to be interesting to see what they do with it and what they do to try and keep the atmosphere. They'll likely just remake the comic strips as well, or use higher resolution versions if they still have those.

I'm thinking It'll be like the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater remaster.

Max Payne 3 Remaster before MP1-2 remakes is a good option! It still looks amazing on PC!
How about MP3 Remaster + Ray Tracing = 30$ 
 

I'm glad they made MP3 better than nothing...

Spoiler

 

But for next, I mean after MP1-2 remakes, I hope Remedy will make MP4 or MP reboot or a Mona Sax Spin-Off ! pls!

The fact that they're building the games from the ground up ever since the concept phase is a indicator that they can change/add a lot of things into the game, including changing how the cutscenes are, to be honest Rockstar did a pretty good job making Max Payne 3's cutscenes in a way which resembles the original games but with motion capture and considering the game is being financed and published by them, I think someone from Rockstar still is overlooking this project to make sure it meets Rockstar's current standards for such games.

It's gonna be up to Remedy's AAA standards (so most likely directed by them), per the press release, but yes I wouldn't be surprised if R* allowed them to use their own mocap studios and stuff.

New Max Payne game will depend on how much this remake sells

 

Since R* is marketing and publishing, the remake has a chance of outselling the originals

As of 2011 the Max Payne series had sold more than 7.5M games, that was before MP3, so there's a chance for sure. 7.5M is still impressive for those two games.

Remember when Rockstar caused controversy when they replaced James McCaffrey with someone else? Lmaoo

https://www.gameinformer.com/games/max_payne_3/b/ps3/archive/2009/09/30/preview.aspx

Since Max is older, the team decided against using voice actor James McCaffrey again. Instead, they plan on casting a new voice actor who can better express the toll that the years have taken on the protagonist. In recent Rockstar fashion, don’t expect a big Hollywood name, but, as Nelson suggests, “We’re good at [casting].” No matter the actor, Max’s trademark internal monologues, which Rockstar sees as core to the franchise, will be in the game. “I can voice over some Max Payne stuff,” jokes Barrera, intoning in a mock serious voice, “I was desperate for some bullets, like the desperation of a child.”

Must have sucked to whoever ended up doing all of that work only to get fired and replaced later :kekw::kekw::kekw::kekw::kekw::kekw::kekw::kekw::kekw::kekw::kekw::kekw::kekw::kekw::kekw::kekw::kekw::kekw::kekw::kekw::kekw::kekw::kekw::kekw::kekw::kekw::kekw::kekw::kekw:

It's gonna sound controversial, but maybe if they decide to rewrite and redub the dialogue in the remake, they'll probably get a new voice actor for Max Payne.

 

That said, if they do decide to redub the dialogue and recast James McCaffrey as Max Payne, I hope they'll at least give him a voice cameo in the remake.

Do you people think there can be a Max Payne 4 before the first game or between some of them?

MP1-2 remakes must use latest version of Northlight engine so I can't wait to see how Alan Wake 2 looks!

I would not be surprised at all if they mocapped/scanned Sam Lake for real for the first game, so... :kekw: I also can see James McCaffrey redubbing anything that's necessary, however, if they have the original audio masters then they might use that instead.

I still can't believe about this part: The game’s development budget will be financed by Rockstar Games, the size of which will be in line with a typical Remedy AAA-game production. Under the agreement, Remedy has a royalty opportunity after Rockstar Games has recouped its development, marketing, and other costs for distributing and publishing the game.

I accept MP1-2 Remakes as a love letter from R*! Thank you so much Sam!(I mean both goat Sams!!! Sam Houser🐐 and Sam Lake🐐!) I'm glad there is no word of Take2 here!

I don't think it's controversial to think that. Redubbing is what I would expect from a remake. It should feel and play like a new game because they remaking it from the ground up.

Of course, that will come with a lot of changes some people may dislike, that's why they should keep the originals available to purchase. I hope they learnt from the GTA trilogy backlash and will keep those games available at stores.

I do believe they will use (younger) McCaffrey face since Sam Lake said this: (38:32)

There will most likely be a setting or easter egg to switch to Sam Lakes face

 

I'm also guessing that they will recreate the comic book panels with High quality 3D models

Eh, I don't think a Max Payne 4 is necessary, considering that Max Payne 3 served as a pretty good conclusion to the series.


I agree. Max walking off into the sunset (for me personally) was a perfect way for those three games to end. Gotta love the awesome music at the end as well. @5:27

The comic series that Rockstar did with Marvel (to promote MP3) more or less explained that, to be fair.

The cutscenes in Max Payne 3 are the best ones I have ever seen done in a video game, they're so well done (they should have made them skippable though, not that I'd skip them myself but I have seen people complain about them back in the day 😂)
