From all the stuff I've seen so far, it look like it doesn't have that Max Payne feel, the nighttime, bleak, noir setting. How the events take place over only a day or two and Max gets more and more beaten to shit over time.
Looks like it's going to be a good game, but I don't think it'll be a genuine Max Payne game. Sao Paulo? No

Hmm sounds close

It was a noir style film. Had a voice over almost like a Rod Serling short. It was about a guy that was walking home when a beam/brick/something fell from a building striking the sidewalk. A large piece of the sidewalk flew up and scratched his face. He then moved to a new city and started a new life.
I believe the film was done in a missing person report style.

hmmm I have no idea where I will find it. but I'm sure I first saw it here.

who knows.

Does what?

"Azealia Banks was born in 1991. Her mother raised Banks and her two older sisters in Harlem after their father died when she was two years old. At a young age she became interested in musical theater, acting, and singing. At age 10, she began performing in off-Broadway musicals with the Tada! Youth Theater in Lower Manhattan. She won lead roles in three productions (Rabbit Sense, Sleepover, and Heroes) in addition to performing as a soloist. Banks was classically trained in the performing arts at the renowned LaGuardia High School of Performing Arts in Manhattan, the same school Nicki Minaj attended. At age 16 she starred in a production of the comedy-noir musical City of Angels. Banks never finished high school, however, instead choosing to follow her dream of becoming a recording artist."
I would say so, yeah.

Her parents must be so proud.


Good for her. I think it's sad that in order to be really successful...she does this. Oh well.

Yay, finally a trailer for Max Payne 3. Oh, my mistake, it's only Grand Theft Payne, I was expecting a dark comic noir style sequel to two of my favorite games. What have they done? Where are the comic noir cutscenes? The only things reminiscent of Max Payne are the music and the voiceover.

That looks like Die Hard rather than Max Payne. No film noir, no New York, no snow, no darkness, no leather -- no interest.

And for the frenchies:
Manau - La Tribu De Dana lyrics

Le vent souffle sur les plaines de la Bretagne armoricaine,
je jette un dernier regard sur ma femme, mon fils et mon domaine.
Akim, le fils du forgeron est venu me chercher, les druides ont décidé de mener le combat dans la vallée.
Là, où tous nos ancêtres, de géants guerriers celtes, après de grandes batailles, se sont imposés en maîtres, c'est l'heure maintenant de défendre notre terre contre une armée de Simeriens prête à croiser le fer.
Toute la tribu s'est réunie autour de grands menhirs, pour invoquer les dieux afin qu'ils puissent nous bénir. Après cette prière avec mes frères sans faire état de zèle, les chefs nous ont donné à tous des gorgées d'hydromel, pour le courage, pour pas qu'il y ait de faille, pour rester grand set fiers quand nous serons dans la bataille car c'est la première fois pour moi que je pars au combat et j'espère être digne de la tribu de Dana.

REFRAIN
Dans la vallée de DAna La lilala.
Dans la vallée j'ai pu entendre les échos.
Dans la vallée de Dana La lilala.
Dans la vallée des chants de guerre près des tombeaux.

Après quelques incantations de druides et de magie, toute la tribu, le glaive en main courait vers l'ennemi, la lutte était terrible et je ne voyais que les ombres, tranchant l'ennemi qui revenait toujours en surnombre.
Mes frères tombaient l'un après l'autre devant mon regard, sous le poids des armes que possédaient tous ces barbares, des lances, des haches et des épées dans le jardin d'Eden qui écoulait du sang sur l'herbe verte de la plaine. Comme ces jours de peine où l'homme se traîne à la limite du règne du mal et de la haine, fallait-il continuer ce combat déjà perdu, mais telle était la fierté de toute la tribu, la lutte a continué comme ça jusqu'au soleil couchant, de férocité extrême en plus d'acharnement, fallait défendre la terre de nos ancêtres enterrés là et pour toutes les lois de la tribu de Dana.

REFRAIN

Au bout de la vallée on entendait le son d'une corne, d'un chef ennemi qui appelait toute sa horde, avait-il compris qu'on lutterait même en enfer et qu'à la tribu de Dana appartenaient ces terres. Les guerriers repartaient, je ne comprenais pas tout le chemin qu'ils avaient fait pour en arriver là,quand mon regard se posa tout autour de moi, j'étais le seul debout de la tribu voilà pourquoi. Mes doigts se sont écartés tout en lâchant mes arme set le long de mes joues se sont mises à couler des larmes, je n'ai jamais compris pourquoi les dieux m'ont épargné de ce jour noir de notre histoire que j'ai contée.
Le vent souffle toujours sur la Bretagne armoricaine et j'ai rejoins ma femme, mon fils et mon domaine, j'ai tout reconstruit de mes mains pour en arriver là, je suis devenu roi de la tribu de Dana.

REFRAIN

Noir Desir is great, and unfortunately marred by the actions of the singer... why did Cantat have to go and kill his girlfriend.. ?

I upvoted as soon as I hit noir.... too wonderful!!!! Back to watching it all now....

Thanks for the promote!

I've always liked Id's games, and Rage's look is pretty cool, and the characters look pretty good, but the world textures? geez... some of those look Half-Life 1 quality. I hope this was not the game running in a powerful PC with all details to full.

And after playing LA Noire, all lip sync looks terrible to me.

>> ^Xax:

The leaked press demo of Deus Ex: Human Revolution, however, handily answers the question of what the best game of the year is/will be.


There's a shitload of potentially awesome games in the works: Skyrim, BF3, GW2, Diablo 3, the new X game... bound to be more. The games industry owes us for the last 18 months or so.

Just finished the game tonight. A lot of people I know have been hating on that game in a big way, but I love how they've built upon the GTA engine to create some really unique games - from Read Dead Redemption to this one. I'm looking forward to what's next.

Is LA Noire perfect? No. There are many bugs that plague all the games using the GTA engine. But the face acting is a huge advance in video game technology. I hope it's used more and it excites me to think what they'll be doing for the next gen game consoles.

Rockstar still makes my favorite games. GTA IV, RDR and now LA Noire are probably the best game I've played in recent years.
