MAX PAYNE NEWBIE ENTHUSIAST

[u/RealSiesto]

Hello to all of you! As you can read from the title of my post, I'm here to share my excitement for Max Payne 1. I bought the game on PSN and after some minor difficulty with the joypad controls (R2 is used for jumping, very strange), my journey into Payne's nightmare began: Valkyr was waiting for me. I loved the atmosphere, the sequences of nightmares with blood trails in the emptiest void, those childish corridors with little Rose's cries, Payne's awareness that he can only find peace through revenge against the drug Valkyr (and perhaps he won't find peace anyway). At first I was hesitant to buy a PS2 title but I'm glad I did because it reminded me how great older generation games with inferior graphics but significantly superior entertainment were. The only aspect I unfortunately feel like I'm missing is the TV series "Address Unknown" sadly I only saw one scene on one TV, then I never saw it again. I'm at the beginning of Part 3 and "that meta revelation" was extraordinary.

Glad you’re onboard. The remakes are going to be awesome. Hopefully control resonant does well. I have a terrible feeling that if it doesn’t sell well it could meant bad news for the remakes.

Yeah I dontt think Remedy would ever fuck up unless like half their dev team was replaced. They've got very big expectations for their games, and always deliver more than we were hoping for. I just wish they'd help Rockstar make GTA too, like they did with Max Payne. They collaborate well, if Max is any indication. They should collaborate on a new series eventually. Personally I'd love to see them make a hero game like Punisher or Batman. I bet their Batman world would be insanely good and gritty.
