    True, but it is hard to innovate in games like this, and bullet time is Maxs signature, so it had to be there. The video above makes it seam so seamless, fluid, and the addition of the controlable (partially) final kill cam, i reckon it will stand out from the wannabes.

    Anyway, that bullet time video sold me, it really shows how the enemies react to being shot, and it looks fantastic. The final kill cam where one dude is getting shot repeatedly and falls through a pane of glass... Wow.

    Gameplaywise those trailers look exactly what was served up ten years ago. I was expecting something more.

    Exactly, if it's classic Max in every respect I'll be much happier. The inclusion of MP is still worrying me tho.

    didn't Mp2 have multiplayer?


  • Moderators, Arts Moderators Posts: 10,515 Mod ✭✭✭✭5uspect


    Nope.


  • Registered Users Posts: 853 ✭✭✭EDDIE WATERS


    I wonder if I could pre order the CE of this

    I doubt it. IIRC there was a cut off date in January to get the full CE.


  • Registered Users Posts: 853 ✭✭✭EDDIE WATERS


    Ok but the Gamestop.ie still has them up for pre order


  • Moderators, Entertainment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 14,009 Mod ✭✭✭✭wnolan1992


    Maybe they changed it after the release delay. Must check my pre-order now... play.com were charging me 134e for the same thing. Must see if they've changed....


  • Registered Users Posts: 853 ✭✭✭EDDIE WATERS


    Its 95 on the Gamestop website


  • Moderators, Entertainment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 14,009 Mod ✭✭✭✭wnolan1992


    Its 95 on the Gamestop website

    Still 134 on play... WTF? Guess I'll be cancelling that ASAP. :P


  • Moderators, Arts Moderators Posts: 10,515 Mod ✭✭✭✭5uspect


    I love how they use the same guy who does the GTA IV radio movie trailer voice overs for the one at the end of the TV trailer. "Rated R for retarded" :)

    That's a very odd way to give specs. Why not give minimum, recommended or higher specs?
    What the point of a GTX680 and 16gigs of RAM as some upper limit?

    Sounds more like a hardware advert that anything else.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,182 ✭✭✭Genghiz Cohen


    Seems to be a Minimum settings - Highest settings sort of layout.

    rumour is the xbox version will be spread across 2 or 3 discs like la noire ! cant wait for this game its gonna be epic !

    The thought of switching between disks...

    The thought of the awesomeness of MP in that much detail...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,940 ✭✭✭Corkfeen


    I'm finding 16gb ram to max out the game to be rather odd. I could easily do it if wasn't for that part. :P


  • Moderators, Arts Moderators Posts: 10,515 Mod ✭✭✭✭5uspect


    What if I have more than 16GB? Do I have to take some out to play? :pac:


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,405 ✭✭✭gizmo


    It's more likely showing the highest level of hardware the game was tested with.


  • Registered Users Posts: 29,483 ✭✭✭✭Zero-Cool


    The original Max Payne will be on PSN on 2nd of May. Free for richy rich PSN+ people or 10 euro for the rest of us mere mortals.

    No problem with classic Max style shootdodging, but more with Rockstar claiming it's their innovation
