Max Payne 3 May Have A Whiff Of Uncharted, But Hey, There's A Long Time For Things To Change.

You probably want Max Payne 3 sooner rather than later. Unfortunately, we’re afraid Take Two say you can’t have it. In a financial and earnings report yesterday, the publisher announced that Max Payne 3 has been pushed back to the company’s fiscal Q4 2010. That puts the game somewhere around the August, October 2010 point, rather than the previously announced (and unlikely) Winter 2009 date.

Don’t shoot the messenger.

Max Payne 3 Has More Than A Whiff Of Uncharted About It.

Replace the gaunt looking character from the above screenshot with Nathan Drake or Chris Redfield and you have the perfect Uncharted or Resident Evil 5 screenshot. Interestingly this is in fact Max Payne 3. Quite the shocker really. Alas this really is the new Max Payne game. Yeah, not much else to say.

Thoughts?

Max Payne 3 Is Due This Coming Winter.

Rockstar Games have just announced Max Payne 3 for the Playstation 3, XBOX 360 and PC. The game will hit this coming winter and is being developed by Rockstar Vancouver.

The sequel will tell the tale of a retired police detective “embroiled in a world of corruption, turmoil and intense violence.”

Sam Houser, founder of Rockstar Games had to say:

“We’re starting a new chapter of Max’s life with this game. This is Max as we’ve never seen him before, a few years older, more world-weary and cynical than ever. We experience the downward spiral of his life after the events of Max Payne 2 and witness his last chance for salvation.”
