Why all the hate for how he looks? Not everyone looks the same 10+ years later :lol:

[QUOTE="AAllxxjjnn"][QUOTE="bstarter29"]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.LinKuei_warrior

Seriously doubt they will keep the noir theme. And no James McCaffery? This isn't even Max Payne anymore.

as long as max is still doing the 3rd person bad *** narrative thing, I think it should be fine

No, Alan Wake stole that from Max. ;)

I'd be less worried if Sam Lake was writing that narrative...but he is not.

[QUOTE="coltsfan4ever"]

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.

MAX FREAKIN' PAYNE looks like a 50 year old bald drunk...that's not good at all.

people are really exaggerating. he looks pretty buff. and besides, the best MMA fighter in the world has a similar physique to this "new" Max Payne. outward appearance means nothing.

He looks like one of the fat bastards he should be killing, and I'm very sceptical about keeping the noir theme. Might still be a good game but sounds like they just slapped the name "Max Payne" on some other generic action game they already had in the making.

We're not dating Max Payne.

An older Max tells me some effort is going into the story.

My question is will he be able to manuever like the younger max payne. I honestly can't see an old fat guy like this jumping 7-10 feet to the side while having perfect aim and not breaking his rib cage when he landed.

I guess the logical reason behind it's that Max Payne in Max Payne 1 and 2 was modeled after one of the Remedy's employees, Sami Jarvi (known as Sam Lake) and since Remedy no longer owns this IP, they were free to do whatever they would want, and funnily, 8 years after Max Payne's inception, Sam Lake still has head full of hair, so Rockstar is FULL OF FAIL. I don't like the direction where they took it. The "badass" type doesn't appeal to me, and I feel strong scorn towards the game now. I think the game will lose its own identity now.

As long as it plays well, but with Remedy doing Alan Wait, I guess R* can do whatever they want. I think it's silly, but whatever.

Epic...this is some awesome news...I'm glad they changed it, because otherwise it would feel like they were just milking the story. People grow older, they change in appearance, why would he be different? What a great pair of games, and I am certain this will be just as fantastic. I wonder what will be his driving force this time, or is he still on the same mission. Judging by his looks, it's not likely he hooked up with and lost another beautiful wife!

Sparty_basic

It's only 10 or so more years in the future... You think he would go from a young maybe 30 year old looking guy to a fully bald head and fat on top of it after only 10 or so years? lol I also found something rather funny...

Not every series with a badass as the main character has to go the route of Sam Fischer and Solid Snake.

My only question is Why? Why did they change his signature look.CrazyyyDylan

Signature look? He's looked different in every game he's been in. Hell, there was big up roar over the difference in 2.

I love the grittiness. Its more believable IMO. Why is everyone saying that he's fat? He don't look fat to me. He actually looks realistically muscular. Of course, he doesn't look like he has a 6pack, but how many grown men do anyway (especially at 40).
