Breaking news! Max Payne 3 looks like shit!

[MetalCraze]

Bet you didn't expect Max Payne 3 from Rockstar Some-Unknown-Substudio to look so unatmospheric and ugly without any neo-noir vibe...

...and have a popamole cover where bullets cannot penetrate a wooden door!

Well here it is! Suprise!

Skyway thinks a game looks like shit. :monocle shattering:

 

[trym88]

But he's right, this game looks utterly uber-megashit

 

[Vaarna_Aarne]

Poor Max. Your first game is still the best third person shooter ever and then this is done to you.

[Broseidon]

derp

 

[pocahaunted]

So they will be keeping with the original games' tradition?

My thoughts exactly.

 

[SCO]

I once saw the Max Payne movie.

True story.

I had some money and had bought the annual pass for the cinema here, and there was nothing else.

The movie was filled with dweebs, that got out of their seats in a flit of nerdrage and despondency at the end.

(the movie was utter shit as expected)

Will it be available on PS2?

 

[MetalCraze]

Max feels you bros. He even had a steroid addiction which also caused his hair to fall out.

 

[Clockwork Knight]

But he's right, this game looks utterly uber-megashit

Yeah, but like the guys above said, the previous games didn't exactly create any standards to uphold.

 

[Luzur]

gotta hold the power back for the consoles sake.

 

[MetalCraze]

But he's right, this game looks utterly uber-megashit

Yeah, but like the guys above said, the previous games didn't exactly create any standards to uphold.

If you weren't a newfag like "guys above" playing games for 3 years tops you'd know that Max Payne was a graphical breakthrough at the time just like Crysis was in 2007

 

[Clockwork Knight]

Not really. I remember laughing with my cousin over how lulsy it looked at times, specially Max "texture-for-a-face" Payne's character model. I think I even had a few magazines joking about his perma-constipated look. Didn't keep it from being an awesome game, obviously, so no need to get all butthurt over me posting that pic.

Then again, I registered in 2009 so that must mean I started playing games in 2009, rite

 

[MetalCraze]

Don't try to weasel out.

At the time no game could offer such photorealistic textures or enemy model variety. Game even kept track of hundreds of shell casings lying around which added to Woo'ish feel - something still not present in next-gen. And models also had separate fingers on their hands which was quite a big deal at the time among other things.

People were buying new videocards and more RAM so they could run this game in 32 bit colour mode which made a world of difference while the rest had to suffer through low framerates with their crappy Riva TNTs.

Only UT2003 really pushed off MP from its Top 1 Graphics Whore's Delight spot in the end of 2002.

If you actually played it at the time you wouldn't be "ololo look the 10 years old game looks dated!"

 

[Twinkle]

Yeah, but like the guys above said, the previous games didn't exactly create any standards to uphold.

Why do you play a retard? MP was the best looking TPS at the time, whether you and your cousin used to laugh about Max's facial expression is completely irrelevant.

 

[Clockwork Knight]

Why do you play a retard? MP was the best looking TPS at the time

you are wrong! I cant tell you why but you are just wrong baaaaaw

If you actually played it at the time you wouldn't be "ololo look the 10 years old game looks dated!

Because that's exactly what I did, compared it to modern standards. Yeah.

And I don't really get how "B-but everyone thought it looked awesome, so it must be true!" is valid for MP, but not for Oblivion.

edit: And the "high requirements for its time, people had to buy new shit to run it on" argument doesn't cut it, because it was the same with Ultima 9.

 

[ortucis]

I have to agree. Max Payne looked great and MP2 had damn fine looking characters with proper facial animations almost comparable to Source shit. MP2 also had pretty awesome use of physics back in the day.

No one found those games terrible looking and I remember only praise for the visuals when they were released. Again, has ANYONE here played Rockstars Bully or Manhunt? Compare those graphics to MP2.

 

[Vaarna_Aarne]

Because MP *did* look awesome when it came out.

 

[Twinkle]

you are wrong! I cant tell you why but you are just wrong baaaaaw

More like, bawww I desperately wanted to be anti-edgy and made a retarded statement. Why do everyone look at me like that, baaaaaw?

You need to decide before you flip-flop next time, my friend.

Getting really desperate?

 

[Vibalist]

Well it's always something that they scrapped the Bruce Willis lookalike thing they initially planned for Max Payne 3.

And honestly you fuckers, why are you such graphic whores? Does it really matter if this game looks like something from 2005 if it plays well?

 

[Unkillable Cat]

Skyway is late, the fact that Max Payne 3 looks like shit is OLD NEWS.

The fact that it probably will play like shit too, however, is still up for debate.

And Max Payne DID look great back in 1998. But man, it has aged horribly.

 

[MetalCraze]

They didn't scrap anything.

He still looks like he swallows steroids every day.

They probably have a plot line connecting normal Max Payne (which is why he looks OK on some screenshots) going into jail where he was fucked in the ass when he failed his soap handling QTE and then became what he is now. It's Rockstar after all.

And yes. MP looks like some console crap with zero style - in contrast to noir atmosphere which is what made MP so memorable apart from graphics.

Here we just get some 'roid-rage convict jumping into cover in a sunny Brasil and it's Max Payne because coming up with a new name requires more creativity than putting a few bots into the corridor.

 

[Vibalist]

You need to get out a bit, man.

 

[Admiral jimbob]

Max Payne 1 was more like "Shootdodge: The Game" than "the best TPS ever"

I still loved it when I replayed it a little while (oh god I think that "little while" was two years ago) back, though, so eh, it did something right.
