entrerix Posted April 12, 2012 Posted April 12, 2012 alan wake was a disaster, and im not a remedy fan anymore. max payne was still a rad game though. this looks enough like my memories of that game for me to say it looks like a max payne spinoff starring some fat bald dude instead of max. Killing is kind of like playin' a basketball game. I am there. and the other player is there. and it's just the two of us. and I put the other player's body in my van. and I am the winner. - Nice Pete.
Morgoth Posted April 12, 2012 Posted April 12, 2012 Max isn't fat, just a bit muscular. I like his appearance, it looks more realistic. Can't expect an older dude to look like some skinny 20 year old sport. Rain makes everything better.
C2B Posted April 12, 2012 Posted April 12, 2012 Imo, Alan Wake was great (except for some parts). And I still truly respect Remedy especially now after the incredible support regarding the PC Version.

And having been educated solely by mkreku in this respect I am convinced that Finland essentially IS the wh40k universe.
entrerix Posted April 12, 2012 Posted April 12, 2012 i was really excited for alan wake, i love atmospheric and scary games. unfortunately, alan wake was a badly executed action game set in an atmospheric location. i don't need every game to have amazing action (i love silent hill 2 for example) but alan wake had so much combat in it, it was clear that the developers either wanted to make an action game, or didn't know how else to make a game... a game. silent hill 2 has some action in it, there are enemies around that must be avoided or killed, but its not really an action game, more survival horror with a strong emphasis on the horror part -with a lot of exploring and some puzzle solving too. alan wake on the other hand was more about shooting shadow people in the woods over and over again than exploring. just my 2 cents, i never finished that game, it was tooooo bad to finish Killing is kind of like playin' a basketball game. I am there. and the other player is there. and it's just the two of us. and I put the other player's body in my van. and I am the winner. - Nice Pete.
Delfosse Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 (edited) I really have trouble seeing anything resembling the first two Max Payne games in that video. Can't you see? The character jumps like the original Max Payne, plus you've got "Max Payne" in the title. So there! And the graphics are better, so the game must be better too, see? At least that's what's Morgoth tells us, and I don't see anything wrong with that, because what else is there in a game other than graphics? I mean if you want content, just go read a book, you ****ing weirdo. Games aren't made for aesthetically educated people, games are for school boys who love to shoot **** left and right yo! Don't believe me? Ask Morgoth, man, he'll tell ya, aight? Edited April 13, 2012 by Delfosse

Rosbjerg Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 You mean Warhammer right? not Gears of War. But yeah, blatant rip off. Fortune favors the bald.

Monte Carlo Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 Hmmm it is clearly a rip-off but then again the original GW tank is a rip-off of old WW1 MKIV tanks and the Israeli Merkava.
Flouride Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 Have you played the game already ? I have seen enough already to determine it will be better than anything Remedy will every be able to accomplish. Hello Volourn number 2. 1 Hate the living, love the dead.
Flouride Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 I'm surprised there are even Remedy fans left after the disastrous Alan Wake. But whatever. How exactly was it disastrous? I found it quite entertaining and the atmosphere in the game beats most generic shooters easily. Hate the living, love the dead.

Morgoth Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 That's a charming way to say "I disagree with you". Fair enough. But you know I'm right. Rain makes everything better.
Tale Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 http://www.gamasutra...ortem_Waves.php I love postmortems, so I'm posting it. Waves is an indie game that sold 15k. A full 96% of his sales were from Steam. I wonder if that's a good conversion rate from the demo. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
greylord Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 (edited) I like Max Payne. It is an enjoyable game. Max Payne 2 was okay, not as good as the first, but okay. Max Payne 3, no idea how it will be. The fat, bald guy doesn't look like any Max Payne I know though. I know many cops who actually exercised, stayed in shape and ARE NOT fat and bald. I think MP3 is designed by gamers who want to be Max Payne, they are all fat and bald, but could never do bullit time...so create the vortex of impossibility of someone who can via a computer game. Will it have the Noir feel to it still? Or will it simply be a Uncharted rehash now? Except instead of a fit guy who travels with fit companions (one who happens to be an older guy who adventures and is NOT fat and bald) it will be a fat, bald guy who somehow acts as if he's 25 and athletic! On another note: Yes, those tanks from EA certainly do look like a blatant rip of Warhammer 40K designs. Edited April 13, 2012 by greylord

Hurlshort Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 You seem really hung up on the baldness thing. Everyone ages differently.

Hurlshort Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 Greylord, Max isn't balding, he just shaved his head. When I shave my head, that's what I tell myself as well. 2
Tale Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 When my dad started shaving his head, he said it was to look like Bruce Willis. That's probably the reason Bruce Willis shaves his, too. Edit: Other news. http://blogs.valvesoftware.com/abrash/ Valve is also investigating wearable computing. 5 "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
