What a fun video. I'm a huge Max Payne 1 & 2 fan, beat the PC/Mac versions several times, even suffered through the PS2 ports with terrible frame rates. I've actually managed to not watch/read anything about Max Payne 3, so that I may go into it with a totally open mind. It hasn't been easy though as they've been teasing us with this one for a while now.
I'm totally going to wait for the PC version, but I had forgotten it was even coming out soon. This really made my day!

Rockstar games always have a great story and voice acting. Thanks for the memories! I played this when it was released and I remember enjoying it. The bullet time reminded me of the then very popular matrix scene from 3D Mark (99. I never thought at the time that it would actually make it into a game as it was too much for any PC to handle in real time. Mind you, I never thought anything from 3DMark 99 was possible to control real time.

I remember when Max Payne Demo was released, I still didn't have ADSL back than, but I was buying one of those PC gamer magazines which had demos/shareware CD with it. I Installed the Max Payne demo, locked the doors, turned off my phone so nobody could bother me, and ran the game: ) I'll always remember it, and the excitement I felt when I started playing it. It was just EPIC, a masterpiece of game industry!

Pretty much the same. It doesn't notify you with an exclamation point if there's an important item nearby, and weapon selection is a little different. It has a dedicated melee/grenade key. You also get unlimited bullettime+shootdodge. The story is pretty weird too. I only recently played these games for the first time, so I guess they don't impress me like they would have in 2001, but they are fun.

I think Max Payne is one of the most fluent TPS ever. You don't just control Max, you are Max. .and I really respect games, that have so low system requirements and look so beautiful, even today (same thing with Warcraft III and No One Lives Forever. Will you ever review Heretic or Hexen? Thanks for all the great videos, I've learned lot's of rather useless interesting stuff; )

Actually, I'm using the AVerMedia Live Gamer HD, as Fraps tends to slow down games like MP1 and 2 quite a lot. Absolutely kills the framerate using it, so I have a hardware solution now that bypasses CPU encoding (which is what Fraps does. I'll actually have a video on the card this weekend if you're curious.

Hey Clint! You and other Max Payne fans might want to keep an eye on this upcoming movie I stumbled on called -Payne and Redemption. - The plot sounds eerily similar to Max Payne and James McCaffrey is rumored to be on the cast. If it is a Max Payne movie, let's hope they do it right this time!

Yeah man, the PC version is coming at the end of this month! I'm pretty freaking psyched. May be a good idea to not watch any trailers or anything, as I'm told by those who have played the game they are very deceptive. Love me some MP, and I can't see Rockstar disappointing.

I loved this game. It was SO dark, yet kinda quirky. -Lords and Ladies- and -Captain Baseball Bat Boy-. there were just so many little things all about.
Incidentally, Max Payne was my last big box game. Came with a frickin' sweet mouse pad too.
