Max Payne 3 (Launch Trailer)
Werbung
Hier der neue Trailer zu Max Payne 3 als Werbeposting. Ich werde hier per Pay bezahlt (6 Cent pro View) und normalerweise lohnt sich das nicht wirklich, aber da ich Payne3 hier jetzt schon seit ein paar Jahren feature, mach’ ich mal ‘ne Ausnahme und bin gespannt. Hier ein bisschen PR-Gefasel, das mit dem Trailer ziemlich wenig zu tun hat:
Bullet Time, Max’ Schlüssel zum Überleben, ist das Herzstück des Gameplays von Max Payne 3. Das neueste Video aus der “Design und Technologie”-Reihe zeigt wie die Weiterentwicklung dieser unverkennbaren Mechanik neue Maßstäbe an Dramatik und Detailgrad für Third-Person-Shooter setzt. Max Payne 3 erscheint am 18. Mai für PlayStation 3 und Xbox 360 sowie am 1. Juni für PC.

Rockstar haben gestern ein Max Payne Infomercial rausgehauen und das sieht alles sehr, sehr toll aus: „The Design and Technology Video Series offers a detailed look at the targeting mechanics, movement and animation, enemy intelligence and other technical design innovations going into building an advanced, intense and immersive action-shooter with Max Payne 3.“

Nachdem Max Payne großspurig für 2010 angekündigt wurde, habe ich von dem Game nicht mehr viel gehört, letzte Woche dann ein Releasedate für März 2012, und hier jetzt der Trailer. Entgegen dem ganzen Gemecker im Netz kann ich mir sehr gut vorstellen, dass das ein gelungener dritter Max Payne-Teil wird, auch wenn er sehr viel anders aussieht (ach!), aber abwarten.
[update] Hier mehr Details zum Game aus einem Reddit-Comment:
More details on the game:
- The combination of Natural Motion’s Euphoria character behavior system and Bullet Time adds a new level to Max’s classic shoot-dodge moves.
- Shoot-dodge is not a canned animation, but a natural interaction with the environment, as Max will reach out to the floor as he dives, and naturally respond to objects in his way if you attempt to dive into a wall or obstacle. This marriage of slow-motion gunplay and Euphoria physics amplifies the cinematic action of Max Payne 3 significantly, and enemies will also respond realistically to each bullet fired.
- The ever famous Noir style is still there.
- The demo started with Max having hair and looking quite slick as opposed to the screens they showed a long time ago, but as the game progresses it will show just how crazy and desperate Max becomes to survive.
- Dual-wielding is back and has a bigger role, any weapon can be thrown into the mix now, so you can carry a pistol in one hand and an Uzi in another.
- The game will alter with time frequently taking the player back and forth to show what happened before and how it relates to the present.
- Other characters from previous MP games will be back.
- The game will not have regenerating health like many shooters nowadays, it will be the same as MP always had and health can be recovered by taking pills.
- Max Payne 3 extends the concept of Bullet-Time to now include game areas of the game that will trigger set pieces involving Bullet-Time. These provide epic moments of action that allow Max to take out enemies in a new interpretation of Max Payne’s signature style.
- Bullet-Cams return: in keeping with the stylish gunplay for which Max is known, Bullet-Cams deliver players a reward for downing enemies with a satisfying final kill
- Max Payne 3 takes the graphic novel panels of the earlier games and evolves them by utilizing in-game assets to create a motion comic-style approach.
- James McCaffrey, the original voice of Max, is back. Not only as the voice of max, but Max’s appearance, face and many of his movements in Max Payne 3 are all captured directly from James himself.
- Max Payne 3 features an integrated cover system. Cover adds an extra strategic element to the classic shoot-dodge/bullet-time/ run-and-gun mechanics of Max Payne, providing players with new options in any given situation.
- Based on what they say, the game doesn’t feel like a mindless corridor shooter where the game just respawns enemies infinitely at every corner. Every stage was thought out well and has more strategy thrown into the mix giving it a distinctive feel.
- Tremendous detail has been paid to every facet of Max Payne 3: Bullets destroy nearly everything in the environment, sweat will appear on Max’s face and shirt as the heat of battle wears on, and blood soaks the clothing of his enemies. You’ll also notice the minute details of the weapons themselves: hammers cock back, slides move, shells expel from the chamber and literally hundreds more.
- Partners and sidekicks will play a large role in Max Payne 3. Hundreds of hours of custom motion-capture were done for individual characters, making traditional in-game encounters completely unique, such as enemies sweeping a room or simply the way Max’s partners will behave as they move through the game.

Hier der geleakte Teaser-Trailer für Max Payne 3. Selbstverständlich ohne Szenen aus dem Game selbst, dafür gibt er aber schonmal eine Tonalität vor, die durchaus in der Tradition seiner Vorgänger steht. Abwarten, die Erwartungen an das Game sind natürlich sensationell hoch und ob die erreicht werden können, ist fraglich. Aber trotzdem schön, was neues von Max zu sehen.

Max Payne 3: Erste Concept Arts

Ein spanisches Forum hat HighRes-Scans eines GameInformer-Artikels zu Max Payne 3 mit jeder Menge Concept Arts. Rockstar schmeisst die Film Noir-Ästhetik raus und verfrachtet Payne in die Sonne nach São Paulo. Solange das Gameplay so unerreicht stylish bleibt, soll’s mir recht sein.

Yessss! Der dritte Teil des besten Action-Games, ever, kommt noch dieses Jahr für Xbox 360, PS3 und PC.
“We’re starting a new chapter of Max’s life with this game,” said Sam Houser, Founder of Rockstar Games. “This is Max as we’ve never seen him before, a few years older, more world-weary and cynical than ever. We experience the downward spiral of his life after the events of Max Payne 2 and witness his last chance for salvation.”
Since leaving the NYPD and New York itself behind, Max has drifted from bad to worse. Double-crossed and a long way from home, Max is now trapped in a city full of violence and bloodshed, using his weapons and instincts in a desperate search for the truth and a way out.
