Rockstar Games released a launch trailer for Max Payne 3, reminding us of its release next week. It's out on May 15 for Playstation 3, Xbox 360, and PC.
Man I wish I could get this game but I already know where all my gaming time will be spent on next week. For me, this will have to wait.
Gamers in the Philippines - If you haven't pre-ordered the game but plan to, you still got time to do so. Datablitz is still offering, but the reward for making a pre-order isn't the strongest incentive.
Rockstar just released the first video of a new video series that introduces Max Payne 3's multiplayer, and it look pretty damn good. It talks about the multiplayer's core features - Gang Wars, Payne Killer, and integrating Max Payne's famous bullet time into multiplayer.
Gang Wars is said to be a battle between the faction in Max Payne 3. It's story driven with objectives changing depending on the outcome of each match. While in Payne Killer, two lucky players get to play as Max Payne himself and his partner Raul Passos in the game as they go against waves of enemy players Max Payne style.
What I found very interesting is that they were able to add bullet time into multiplayer. Bullet Time is Max Payne's signature move that gives him the option to slow down time to better pick off enemies and dodge bullets. For multiplayer, when someone activates Bullet Time, only players in his line of sight will be engaged in Bullet Time. It is said in the video that Bullet Time is one of the burst abilities available to players, meaning there will be other abilities to be revealed that would suit your play style.
It's looking pretty good, it's Rockstar after all. When I heard Red Dead Redemption will have an open world multiplayer, I didn't think it was possible but it actually works and turned out fun. Now they added multiplayer on Max Payne without leaving Bullet Time behind.
This is the first video if the video series that talks all about multiplayer, so look out for the next few videos in the future.
Gamers have interesting game choices this month. Max Payne 3 comes out on Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 May 15 and PC on May 29.
Can I say this is the first game delayed for 2012? No? correct me if I'm wrong in the comments. But yes, Max Payne has been pushed back from a March release to a May release.
The new release date is May 15, 2012 for the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360, the PC version will be out on May 29.
We do not take changes to our release schedule lightly, and this short delay will ensure that Max Payne 3 delivers the highest quality, groundbreaking entertainment experience that is expected from our company, said Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick of the delay
Why the delay? there's no exact answer to why they moved Max Payne 3 to May. One thing's for sure though, Max Payne has no competition during that month. In March, Max Payne 3 will be in the same month as games like Mass Effect 3, Dragon's Dogma, Street Fighter X tekken, and a couple more . In May, nothing else that I know are coming out on that month.
Rockstar Games just announced the contents of their Special Edition for Max Payne 3. It will be priced at $99.99 in the US and can be pre-purchased only from November 21 to January 15.
No word yet if this Special Edition will be accessible outside the US, but since the Special Edition is only for pre-purchase, chances are slim. Sad I know, contents are pretty sweet too if you're into the whole collecting video game statues and all.
