Max Payne 2 Shows Bullet Time Squared?

Thanks to IGN PC for their new preview of Remedy/Rockstar's Max Payne 2:The Fall Of Max Payne, as the October-due PC, December-shipping console title unveils a little more, particularly Bullet Time 2.0, the key new gameplay feature which "...will reward Max for good performance by increasing his action speed during Bullet Time. What this means is that you can start to move proportionally faster while in Bullet Time simply by killing multiple enemies." Elsewhere, GameSpot also get to "visit with the older, wiser Max Payne", particularly mentioning the "game's implementation of Havok physics", as this middleware physics engine also gets used in games such as Half-Life 2 and Starcraft: Ghost.

Thank god I can visit slashdot and see news of great technological importance such as the latest minor features of max payne 2. I'm sure this will change the face of computer gaming - or in fact of IT as a whole, and thus the world! - completely!

Next on slashdot - front-page article series on each of the weapons and ammo types in Doom 3 - one article per weapon. Plus, bonus article, usage of the "shift" key in Half-Life 2.

Don't like reading about games? Why not simply disable it?

Bullet time is one of the few original concepts to come out of the shooter genre in a while, I think it is great that they are improving it.
