 Release Date: May 15, 2012 Developer: Rockstar Games Didn't see a thread for this yet. Is anyone else excited for this?? I have it pre-ordered. I was kind of skeptical after the release date kept getting pushed back, but now this is looking like a solid game. One thing that it seems this game will be missing in comparison with other Rockstar games is the free-roam experience. This new Max Payne looks like more of a single player, story-driven experience. This can be good and bad, as seen in LA Noire. However, I think MP3 will be fine like this, and keeping the game more contained may allow for a better competitive multiplayer and a better sense of direction in the story. Discuss. |

The videos don't make me think Max Payne, it makes me think more like generic shooter. I'll give it a chance but Max Payne was all about being dark and gritty and this.doesn't look that way.

Already pre-ordered and paid for. I love the first two Payne games. I am sure this one will be solid with Rockstar behind it.

I haven't played either of the first two, but I've read about what they were about to catch me up on the story since I will be playing 3. I think it will be a great game. Old school fans may be disappointed that its not the same as the old ones, but that doesn't automatically make it a bust. Anyone whose played the old ones be sure to come in here and give your thoughts after you've played 3.

I'm sure I'll play it when it comes. Hopefully it surprises me and can stand up with the first 2

Would love to buy this but I don't have the money. Loved Max Payne 1 & 2 but this is clearly nothing like them - in a bad way. Disappointing but Rockstar ALWAYS changes game sequels to nothing like the originals. First Mafia 2 and now this.

They make great games, something that the Mafia series is not. |

Its getting closer. Where did everyone pre-order from?? I got mine at Gamestop, and I'll be getting the pill bottle item as a bonus as well as the Cemetary Map. I think you only get the pill bottle item if you pre-ordered by April 15th.

In my opinion, game series should be totally unique and not feel like any other game series in any way. |

I got an email today saying Powerup members at gamestop will be receiving the Silent Killer pack, which includes the Anti-Tank Weapon, Slippery Burst, and the listening device. This is in addition to early access to the Cemetary Map, and the Pill Bottle item if you pre-ordered by April 15th. However, early access to the cemetary map is the only real thing given to people. All the bursts and weapons are still unlockable even if you haven't pre-ordered, you just have to rank up to get them. So if your worried about not getting a certain pre-order bonus, like the deadly burst that Amazon is offering, dont sweat it because you'll still be able to get it, just not early.

I believe Amazon is now also offering $10 credit with the game as well.
