#MAX PAYNE 3 VOICE ACTORS MOVIE#
It’s all done in an action-packed, cinematic style, more like a movie at times than a game. Not only does this keep you in the action longer, but it you do miss and die, you at least can see exactly how you died so you can learn to watch out for that enemy the next time. If Max has painkillers left over but takes a fatal shot, bullet-time will activate and the reticule will aim at the enemy who “killed” you if you land a successful shot, it kills the enemy and spares your life. After a dive, Max can stay prone, shooting from the ground in all directions.Īlso new is a “Last Man Standing” last-resort tactic. Cinematic kill-cams show every last bullet penetrating through flesh and bone in a cringe-worthy way. Max still has his dodge and roll, his bullet-time, slo-mo diving, and shooting, but now he can duck and hide behind cover too. Though Max is getting old, he’s still nimble. Max feels more organic and genuine because of it. The original voice-actor, James McCaffrey reprises his role as Max, but this time provides for a full-motion capture, bringing Max Payne to life like never before. Max looks like shit because he’s been drinking and drugging for ten years (although Rockstar is purposely being vague about how far Max Payne 3 takes place after the last games), and his face shows off his lifestyle. Not in the beautiful scenery and landscape way, but in the sheer attention to detail in every environment, texture, and scene. Certain events that happen throughout the game trigger these flashbacks and help flesh out the entire story behind his downward spiral of depression and self-loathing.ĭespite the gritty picture that’s being painted, the game is stunning. While Max tries to rescue the kidnapped wife of the family he has been hired to protect, he suffers from flashbacks, which serve to fill in the blanks of all that’s gone wrong in Max’s life. Unfortunately for Max, this isn’t the vacation he was expecting, and he quickly finds himself in the middle of a war with a crime organization called the Comando Sombra. When Max’s old pal from his Police Academy days offers him a security job protecting a wealthy family in Sau Paulo, Brazil, he jumps at the chance to get away from New York City and start anew. Since then, Max has hung up his police badge for good and has been drowning his sorrows with booze and painkillers, trying to put the past behind him.

It’s been almost a decade since we last saw Max Payne, and although he’s a weathered, broken alcoholic and addict, he’s still the same fearless badass he has always been.įucked up shit happened during Max Payne and its sequel. The end result is definitely more in line with the quality and grittiness that Rockstar is known for, but it’s still the Max Payne you remember. The series' original developer, Remedy Entertainment, is out, and Rockstar Games has fully taken the reins for Max Payne 3.
