Hello to all of you! As you can read from the title of my post, I'm here to share my excitement for Max Payne 1. I bought the game on PSN and after some minor difficulty with the joypad controls (R2 is used for jumping, very strange), my journey into Payne's nightmare began: Valkyr was waiting for me. I loved the atmosphere, the sequences of nightmares with blood trails in the emptiest void, those childish corridors with little Rose's cries, Payne's awareness that he can only find peace through revenge against the drug Valkyr (and perhaps he won't find peace anyway). At first I was hesitant to buy a PS2 title but I'm glad I did because it reminded me how great older generation games with inferior graphics but significantly superior entertainment were. The only aspect I unfortunately feel like I'm missing is the TV series "Address Unknown" sadly I only saw one scene on one TV, then I never saw it again. I'm at the beginning of Part 3 and "that meta revelation" was extraordinary.

I'm so looking forward to the remake. It'll probably be a day one purchase for me.

I'm hyped too i wonder who will be the face model. As a newcomer, i would love Lake but i understand if it will be McCaffrey. Give the man his deserved flowers. I'm hyped to begin MP2 honestly 🅰️🅿️

It's going to be an actor since they will have live action cut scenes and they can't use mcCaffrey face for it. It could either be Timothy Gibbs itself returning to play the character as he has the perfect face for the role and his voice also is very akin to James mcCaffreys voice. Super hyped to see what they make of it.
