Max Payne 3 PC info

[QUOTE="ChubbyGuy40"]

[QUOTE="robertoenrique"]Hey guys how come I can't find it on Steam? robertoenrique

Here you go

Looks like I'll be able to run this bad boy really well! I'm really excited about this game. It's out next Friday, right?

BTW, some people seem to be having a hard time understanding what a console port is. Max Payne 3 is not a console port because it wasn't developed for consoles andthen ported to PC. It was developed for both consoles and PC from scratch, which makes it both a console game and a PC game top to bottom.

Not every multiplatform game is a port on PC.

Games like Gears of War, GTA IV, Lost Planet and Halo were ports in that they were released on consoles and onlyafter that did the developer work on a PC version using the material on consoles, therefore porting the game from consoles to PC.

I am not having a hard time understanding what a console port is and I can tell you now this is a port. The game is produced on an xbox dev machine and then ported to the PC and tweaked to work. I feel it necessary to point out that a lot of the BS Rockstar are spouting about Max Payne 3 was also said about GTA 4. You know they even said GTA 4 was NOT a port (despite the fact it had the exact same bugs as the xbox version). Ever since GTA 3 Rockstars PC products have been ports, EVERY SINGLE ONE. Now all of a sudden they are doing dedicated builds of PC games, yeah right pull the over one Rockstar it has bells on it.

That is their nature, after all

Yep you are right it is Rockstars nature to produce extemely poor quality products on the PC and customers naturally complain about that.

You mean where has Rockstar said that ? Naturally they haven't said that. Nope they have said all the right things, they have said the PC version was built from the ground up on the PC etc etc. They also said that with GTA 4 :-

According to Rob Nelson, producer at Rockstar Toronto, the PC version has been working on GTA IV PC since January with a team of around 50 members. He gave us some perspective as to why the PC version is coming out later than with Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions. "The earlier PC versions of Grand Theft Auto (since III) have always been put into production as soon as the console versions were complete; in this case, we've been working in concert with the console teams, and even a little before. The reason we're releasing six months later is due to the fact that we are building this as a pc game from the ground up and adding additional features to an already massive experience."Rob Nelson

It is exactly the same with Max Payne 3, they are telling you that this is "blah blah PC dedicated, blah blah not a port". I can tell you now with 100% certainty that Max Payne 3 is built and designed on an xbox dev's machine and then ported/cobbled together for the PC build. It is how Rockstar do it, they have done it since GTA 3, they will continue to tell you it "isn't a port" and at the same time just port the console code to the PC and as always there will be enough people to believe their BS.

After all they did, we better not get any QQ-ing from PC gamers. Seriously. 35GB? Holy **** Max. I already pre-ordered it and looking forward to it when it releases.Elann2008

While I agree for the most part, seems like they really are trying for the pc version...

If the game comes out broken, or poorly optimized, or something for actual release, then the complaining would be justified.

Though I actually think they might be doing pretty good with the optimization, just a feeling I have, along with a feeling I have for C&C:G2, I think it will look great, and run great at the same time. COH2 I know will look great, but I think it won't run quite as smooth.

Max Payne 3 looks good from what I have seen in the commercials (graphics wise), PC will look a tad better than those, lets hope you can keep 60fps with the hardware they have mentioned at 1080p, with MAXED OUT SETTINGS. If so, then it could be one of the most optimized titles for pc we have seen in quite a long time. :D

I think I should buy this just because of the crazy amount of support and love they are giving the PC version.

And also because it looks like a really amazing game and sequel to a series of amazing games?

from what he said, i should be getting around 60fps on 1920x1080 :D doesn't say anything about maxing it out though D: BrunoBRS

[QUOTE="DJ_Headshot"]Wish more console ports with take this kind of effort towards the pc version and all the graphical enhancements and bigger textures are very nice but its nice to see higher fidelity audio for once.Zubinen
