They believe everything is a clue over there these days.

does any one know how many weapons will be in the game? and will it be usable on mp?

The Roman Empire never existed and it was the Rockstar Empire that created Rockstar numerals as a numeric system.

Did the original Max Payne's have selective difficulties? Wonder what old school difficulty consists of if we have a hard and hardcore.

They did. The second one's hardest difficulty "Dead man walking" had a different ending to all the others, Mona Lived.

QUOTE (Freezer89 @ Tuesday, Apr 10 2012, 15:03) And what would this V mean?  You know it's the Roman numeral for 5, right? That wasn't created for GTA. 5 modes, I would guess.

Thanks, but I am not that dumb.. just was wondering why a V instead of 5 or so (when its the 5 multiplayer modes)?
I don't want be a conspiracy theorist, but this could be really a spoof to GTA V

Well, with the multiplayer characters/gangs carrying over into V, it's possible it's a small reference to GTA. Roman numerals are more interesting than numbers, though.

Probably only find painpills in medicine cabinets and bullets almost completely come from fallen foes. If I remember correctly, while I was watching my cousin play the first one pain pills weren't something you just came across or enemies dropped. They were only in med cabinets.

As much as I want to pre-purchase it, I'll wait til launch since I don't really need those 'packs' and I already have both MP1 & 2.

[GTAvanja]

Just look at this evolution of graphics and Max's face. For some reason he looks more like himself in MP3 and the game isn't even out yet. It makes no freakin' sense for me to think that!

[Indi]

Just pre-purchased Max Payne 3 on Steam. Jeez look at all of those bonuses!

@GTAvanja: Damn, 3 different faces for 3 different games. I think that's the first game that's done that.

The weird thing is that it doesn't matter. Max is more defined by his voice than his face. Not only does he look different in-game, he looks different in comic book cutscenes as well. Actually MP2 cutscenes is where he looks like MP3 Max the most.

[Indi]

Yeah I played MP2 just now for a bit and they do look different.

A quote I just pulled out from MP2 was this:
"After all the bad things in my life it always started with a woman, I couldn't save her."

That quote underlines clearly why Max has taken Fabiana's kidnapping so close to the heart.

Gah, Max is getting so close now.

Yes but Mona (and his wife for that matter) actually meant something to Max, emotionally, whereas Fabiana is just some random chick. If Max had his tuna sandwhich roll under the couch, he'd probably react more emotionally attached than to Fabiana.

Unless Fabiana and Max start rolling in the sack, I don't see it very believable.

I have a feeling the story in MP3 is more than it seems. I mean, a simple kidnapping? There is going to be some twists that will surprise us I'm sure.

And there has been changes in the main characters face in a series before; Hitman.

Well, yeah obviously. I don't expect that when you get to the end of the level, the b*tch is taken to the next level by the baddie and this just keeps repeating for the entire game until the end. I'm actually expecting her to be rescued 3/4 of the way through and there's some other plot point that's continued till the end, like Passos betraying you (which he will btw).

I just don't see why Max would care so much. In MP1, its his wife's death that fuels his revenge so obviously he's mad about it and MP2 had this weird chemistry with Mona where Max grows increasingly worried about her and realizes he loves her whereas and it takes the whole game to grow a realistic love story but in MP3, Max is thrust upon this girl who's taken away early on and has no emotional attachment to Max.

[X3MAC]

Will the Multiplayer have a freerome of some sort?

[GTAvanja]

It's not a free roaming game. Why is that so difficult to understand? So no, it won't have a free roaming multiplayer component.
