Max Payne 2 Gets Love Life, New Face

Posted by simoniker on from the gritty-streets-of-helsinki dept.

Thanks to an anonymous reader for pointing to two separate stories at the Max Payne Headquarters, which firstly has brand-new information on the recently-announced Max Payne 2: The Fall Of Max Payne from a PC Zone preview, with lead writer Sam Lake saying of Max: "..we're taking a big risk by putting him in a love story this time around." Also new are some good-looking, magazine-leaked screenshots, complete with Scott Miller of 3D Realms commenting on why Sam Lake's face wasn't used for Max's likeness as it was for the first game ("The original game used Remedy developers, family and friends for faces... we all like Sam Lake better as Max.. [but] he doesn't have time to fly to New York to take part in the photo sessions.")

    Now it's my own damn fault for not using Firebird this time but god DAMN that's a lot of popups. And never before have I seen a single site ask to install both Gator AND Atomic Click from the same page.

    Are they bastards trying to capitalize on the Slashdot effect, or are they just bastards all the time?

  3. Damn these FPS games with a story... by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 1, Funny

    ..isn't just like having a porn movie with a plot - more stuff to try to fast forward though.

    Will it still have the cheesy, sappy descriptions of EVERYTHING?

    Max Payne love story?? I can see it now:

    The scent of her hit me like a sack full of kittens. I felt heady just standing by her, clinging to her like a rock in a hurricane of desire. My hand brushed her side, slippery smooth, butter on silk. My heart pumped a techno beat as I lifted her into my arms and carried her across the threshhold. Other men couldn't see what I saw in her, they just saw an AR15 assalt rifle, I saw my Sheila.
