About The Story
Max Payne 3 begins 12 years after the events of Max Payne 2, with Max visibly older, more violent, and more world-weary from the events of his own life. Having left the NYPD, Max has been taking odd jobs in security and consulting, and when we find him he is providing personal protection for a wealthy family in Sao Paolo, one of the world's deadliest and most crime-ridden cities. At absolute rock-bottom, Max discovers that trouble still dogs his every step, and he finds himself drawn into the brutal heart of the Brazil's dark underworld.
About The Game
Max Payne 3 retains many trademarks of its predecessors; a focus on story and character-driven action, a large number of sophisticated weapons with dual-wield capabilities, Bullet-Time, an addiction to painkillers, mature themes and Max's ever-present internal monologue. Max Payne 3 also utilizes Natural Motion and Rockstar's own RAGE engine, working with brand-new particle physics technology to deliver spectacular, highly advanced close-quarters combat, an intelligent cover system, and constantly varied gameplay in every level.
About Brazil
Brazil is the fifth-largest country in the world, by area and population, and is notoriously known to house a number of the world's worst drug traffickers, street gangs and kidnappers. The number one cause of death among the youth is murder.
Sao Paolo's young gangs are amongst the most violent in the world, and the most dangerous of those is said to be the Primeiro Comando da Capital. The PCC has organized prison breaks, prison riots, drug trafficking, highway robberies and kidnappings since it was formed in 1993. With one gun for every 75 people in the country and 95% of those firearms obtained illegally, Max will need every skill he has in order to survive.
Hmm.

So, basically it's 2014 in the game?
(MP1 is early 2001, which is why the Twin Towers are still there; MP2 is late 2002.)

Hm, somehow the concept of a haunted, world-weary gunman taking security jobs in Latin America reminds me alot of that crappy Denzel Washington film from a couple years back, Man on Fire.

Haha, that's awesome. I'm buying this game now.

Right. I dunno about you, but saturated bursts of colour in MY Max Payne? What the fuck were/are they thinking? Where's the
noire, damn it? Serious flashes of popcorn action flick in there at the end, from bullet time cutaways with zero panache to the hyper-spastic Michael Bay editing.
And layering that trademark mournful cello over the entire trailer as an accompaniment to James McCaffrey's trademark slightly tortured narration is a great kick of nostalgia, but having hip hop beats barge in all a-sudden with a ridiculous gang shooting just makes your trailer sound conflicted in all sorts of shitty sorts of ways.
Yes, I'm being hard on a one minute+ trailer. I like Max Payne. But what the fuck is
this?

I have faith. I have never liked game trailers, and R* has never truly let me down. GLASS IS HALF FULL, DAMMIT.

But Max's hair was so beautiful! The progression to unify his facial hair with his top hair was a welcome one but when I seen that razor, oh lord no!
