The Fall Of Max Payne Announced

Thanks to an anonymous reader for pointing out Rockstar Games have announced Max Payne 2: The Fall Of Max Payne, the sequel to the third-person action title from Remedy Entertainment. The press release indicates the game will ship for PC this fall, but doesn't mention when the console versions will come out. This follows last year's announcement that 3D Realms/Apogee and Remedy had sold the intellectual property for Max Payne to Rockstar for around 35 million dollars in cash and shares, for those wondering which bottomless pit Duke Nukem Forever's development budget is coming from.

I hope they keep the Paynefull noir writing

It was raining pitchforks and cats the night I learned that Max Payne 2 was being developed. Outside the wind was howling to beat the banshee, a rising crescendo of tortured screaming like the kind that came from me when I found out that Duke Nukem Forever was delayed again. I smoked my cigarette (my "last one" I told myself) and loaded up slashdot. If Rockstar Games wants to bring the Payne then bring it on.

I think the odds against this are staggering, since a game with 5 years of development is going to have higher expectations than anything up to but excluding Master of Orion 3.

Why did you have to bring up the painful memory of that horrendous failure of a computer game? I drove across the city at way illegal speeds to pick it up the second I found out a copy had hit the shelves. My disappointment still makes me growl at the box sitting on my shelf. I hate you. I hate all of you. Especially you, MOO3! I'll kill you! Gaaarg!
