Video: Is Max Payne Still on Target on PS4?

I think it held it up pretty well, especially the actual shooting / bullet time aspect. The presentation and story are still unique. The controls however took a lot of tweaking, but thankfully the options are there. Also, although the PS2 version is solid, it's a step down from the Xbox and PC (more and better textures, less loading sections during gameplay).

Still, it holds up pretty well.

But yeah, I played it back in the day on our PC, I remember it running rather well. I also purchased, and beat Max Payne and Max Payne 2 for the Xbox, when they came out.

I had it on the original Xbox and the deadzone on the right analogue stick for this game was terrible, was it the same on PS2?

Nice video, Max Payne 1 was the most hyped game at the time of release on PC. It was super brilliant too. Pure Nostalgia, and the game seemingly holds up.

I'd rather they didn't release the PS2 version - it's a pretty awful port - just release a modified PC/Xbox version.

@adf86 my sa hasn't been patched that's the reason why i dont play it

I played Max Payne back in 2001 when it released on PC. So much hype surrounding the whole bullet time thing, especially after The Matrix movie. Funny I finished both Max Payne 1 and 2 recently in February. Still as awesome as always, and the loudness of the shotgun! Boom "chck chck!"

@Churchy what's wrong with the port? I played it on PC and Xbox do have no idea what the ps2 version is like.

@adf86 I wish we stuck to 50hz - we could have 1080p 50fps now, damn international standards.

The PS2 port isn't bad, but some of the textures have been dumbed down or are missing, and the levels are split up into segments with load times, while they were seamless in the PC and Xbox versions. Also the controls take a lot of tweaking to get up to quasi-modern standards, but alas, all of the options to do as such are in the game.

On the plus side, everything has been brought up to 720p through the emulation, which is a huge plus compared to the original console games. Also, although the PS2 has more loading segments, due to the emulation, these are all very brief, just a matter of seconds.

@sub12 nice, thanks bro appreciated.

@themcnoisy Obviously it's just my opinion, but all of the features that @sub12 has mentioned are pretty much why it's a bad port: down-graded graphics, long loading screens, loading screens that weren't there before, and a fiddly control scheme.

Also, you can't save wherever you want like the PC version, and the graphic novel text has been replaced by awful Ariel font with a grey background.

The graphics are really good on the PS4. No wide screen but also not the horrible stretching to fill the screen. The frame rates get dizzy at times which is very disappointing. I had to increase my brightness setting a lot from what i use on PS4 titles like Fallout 4 and Dying Light. Also cheat codes work and do not disable the few trophies included. No platinum.

A good purchase for me at the $6 flash sale price.
