Max Payne is old and bald. Front cover story for this months Game Informer! *56k

I swear I saw someone who looks just like that asleep on the pavement the other day. Replace the 2 guns with 2 bottles of cider and honestly it was a spitting image.

Mind you, trying to eat a very messy kebab after a big night out, I'm sure I've looked a bit like that as well.

Man am i the only one that thinks that looks bad ass? I say right on!

Eh I don't like that look.:? The game is probably still going to be great through.

I was fine with how he looked. I liked it. Then I saw those scans... oh dear.

I think he obviously needs to look older, and obviously haggard after what he's been through in 1 and 2, however that character design is a little OTT.

Looks like the years haven't been good on Max's appearance...

My earlier comment was a bit harsh but why does he have to be out if shape after 10 year? i mean sam fisher looks ok and so does snake. Why they make max payne looks like a middle aged drunk.

What the crap?

Don't know about anyone else but damn that looks ugly.

He's not supposed to look like sunshine and roses.

[QUOTE="AAllxxjjnn"][QUOTE="bstarter29"] I posted those scans earlier today over on the Alan Wake site (which has a Max Payne board), and another site, and I can say you are the first person I've seen that thinks it looks good.bstarter29

Yup, it's a little overboard. Though realistically it could obviously happen. Pretty sure nobody wants to play a kick*** character looking like that though :P

Seriously. Nothing about that reminded me of Max Payne, absolutely nothing. The designaestheticis extremely bland as well...i don't get the direction they are taking this in...

I don't know, but it's not good. To be honest, I wasn't looking forward to it too much before these screens because I knew Remedy sold the IP long ago. After seeing this today, it's even further from my radar now. I know the games aren't really similar, but the fact that MP3 is looking this poor so far, the wait for Alan Wake seems even longer now. At least we might have had some sort of Remedy spirit going in MP3, but R* just threw everything they created out the window.

[QUOTE="gmc2u_64"] I mean, 10 years (somewhere around there) has reduced Max Payne to this?!

True, true. It's definately less exciting playing as the hobo, hopefully they will tidy him up a *little* bit. Just don't change hime to be too clean-cut.

Max Payne 3: Blood on the Sand...

Yay!

I don't respect this Max Payne nor do I fear him. I...pity him. I pity Max Payne now...

I always had pity for his character. Some messed up **** has happened.

Exactly. He's gone through a lot of rough ****.

Why are people bashing the look? I like how he looks now. And as long as the gameplay and story is great he can use a cane and Ill still play the game.

Here are some more details: The story is he moved out of NYC to get away from his demons and that he is now private security for a wealthy family and is drawn in to the underworld of Sao Paulo. Oh, and James McCaffery will not return as Max Payne. Rockstar says they can keep the noir even in the slums of Sao Paulo.bstarter29

If he looks like that, I won't but the game.paul939

The original Max Payne was great yet 2 was kind of a disappointment to me so I don't care all that much about this sequel either way, looks like another franchise that's slowly getting stale, let's hope I'm wrong and give this the benefit of the doubt.
