After two years of delays, a Game informer cover story, a this infamous teaser trailer ax has came back out of hiding with third installment of Rock-star games critically acclaimed and pioneering 3rd person action shooter, Max Payne 3.
Dealing with the Demons of his past, and following the events of the past games (Spoiler warning)His family has been laid to waste, and his loss of love interest in the second, Max has completely left the NYPD, US, and the world he once knew. Max is now a gun for hire. Max is hired for a job to protect a business man and his wife from being kidnapped or killed.
Max is back with his signature bullet time technique, an arsenal of deadly weapons, and combat maneuvers to go after the bad guys, and get the job done.
Rockstar is also working to bring the high octane action from the single player to the online. They have also brought back their developer diary series.
They Explain how they got Bullet time into the game; how they made the game different and accessible for players who are vets of the series and newbies alike; the design of the game from sounds to cinematic; and of course the weapons.
They also talk about the multiplayer modes Payne Killer, Gang Wars, and Death-match. You can even form a crew, and own the leader boards, with the ability to carry them over into GTA V. They even ramped up the Rockstar Social club website. It has deep stat track across all Rockstar Games and Gaming Networks such as PSN, XBL/GFWL, Facebook, and Twitter. It has deep game tracking (If you ever have hooked up any of your accounts previously then your in for a treat), total game time, k/d ratios, in game medals, achievements/Trophies and more.
Rockstar is going for the gold, riding of the success of GTA IV and Red-Dead Redemption for the muitli-player. They’re going to offer all the mutiplayer content for $30. Which would be cheaper to buy, instead of buying all of them separate with the Max Payne 3 Rock Star pass.
