Max Payne 2 Gets Love Life, New Face

Posted by simoniker on Friday June 27, 2003 @05:46PM 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.")

It looks like the guy who scanned them in out of the Danish magazine tried to remove the moire pattern by adding some sort of blurring filter.

They all look enlarged too. I expect the magazine screenshots were no more than thumbnails.
