Why aren't more people super-psyched for Max Payne 3?

The game looks awesome, appears to have a cinematic, well-acted plot, features kick ass physics, smooth as butter controls for PC and console (at least it seems), and fast-moving, cinematic, third-person gunfights that would make Nathan Drake feel inadequate. I'm super-psyched, but it seems like not alot of people are.

BECAUSE THEY RUINED MAX PAYNE!!!!

Seriously though,I am hyped.Can't wait to get it.

I find that most Rockstar stuff is heavily overrated.

I want to play it, I just don't get why they keep showing trailers that look like the hangover 2 in brazil. Almost all the footage I've seen of the game is generic militay shooter 101. I hope it's some sort of plan to surprise us with Noir Bliss.

Im really happy I'm not the only one who sees this. RDR? I played the whole game. Good game? Undoubtedly. GOTY material? Not even freaking close. The thing that bugged me the msot about it is that Everyone was like "OMG teh story!" To be honest, the only part I liked about the story was John Marston and the ending. Rockstar got way too much credit for that game.

Because I don't like it.

I'm super pumped up for max payne 3.

Rockstar's games control like ass.

That's bad for max payne.

I'm really looking foward to it. The gunplay looks so good!

We already have great cover-shooters with slow-mo (Vanquish) and without (Gears of War). Max Payne 3 just seems inferior next to them.

LOL. No other TPS looks nearly as good as Max Payne 3.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9FTvPSnkV5A

Rockstar knows how to do animation and in a TPS realistic animation is crucial. From previews I've read the realism in the game is astounding: when you shootdodge into a wall Max will crumple and his aiming will be affected, heavier weapons will make his aiming slower, and carrying heavy weapons will make him move slower. Not to mention this is one game with 360 degree prone-targeting that actually looksreal.

I am super-psyched. The game has a high chance of being my GOTY, can't wait.

At first I wasn't thrilled with R* behind the wheel (the team behind Bully and Bully was only so-so) but I think they have done a great job of mimicking that true Max Payne-feel.

And I can live without the visual novel part in exchange for the euphoria physics engine. It looks so awesome in this game, and it's a real shame not more games use it.

Now all I'm hoping for is for the story to turn out good, because the Max Payne games had a great story. Sam Lake is a great (game) story-writer.

Man, the overall feeling of the game doesn't look that Max Paynish, but the combat looks pretty awesome, think I'll have to pick it up.

Also, it looks quite a bit better than Gears 3 for sure, not sure about Vanquish as I have only played the demo.

Never played the first two, and this one looks generic and boring, nothing intreset me about it.

I'm not very excited for Max Payne 3 because I dislike most action games released nowadays. It's as simple as that. I hate games with cover system, health regeneration, cutscene abuse, awful AI, generic gameplay and lazy, extremely lazy level design.

The fact Max Payne 3 will keep the traditional painkillers gives me a little bit of hope. But it's still not enough to make me excited about the game.

Also the cover system is entirely optional I read in a preview. You can use it as a place to catch a breath, but the game is pretty fast paced so you will get flanked and it's best to use the bullettime mechanic more in good-old max payne style.

edit: the cover seems also breakable so it won't be anything like in Gears of War (which is a good thing because one TPS shouldn't be the same as the other)

Because Remedy isnt making it.

Who hasn't ?

I've played them countless times, it's about time a new one came around.

Because it looks generic.

I want to play it, I just don't get why they keep showing trailers that look like the hangover 2 in brazil. Almost all the footage I've seen of the game is generic militay shooter 101. I hope it's some sort of plan to surprise us with Noir Bliss.

It's a shooter. That's why I don't care for it.

People think "noir" is dependent on setting, character design, and color pallette. :lol:

Gameplay doesn't make it part of the series, or else every FPS would be part of the same crappy franchise

It looks amazing and I'm shocked people aren't more excited, but I think Rockstar needs to start releasing more info and advertising about it too so people can get a chance to get excited.

It looks like the best third person shooter I've seen since Uncharted 2.
