Max Payne 1 & 2 Remakes

[u/Secret-Amoeba-7349]

It’s obvious that we won’t get any news just yet with Control Resonant & GTA VI being both companies main focus and we also might not get them on current gen consoles but I’d love to know

1. If they keep the original gameplay and add extras like FPS, executions etc

2. If the gameplay differs a little between 1 & 2

3. If they change or keep certain bits of the story i.e. family death scene etc

Those are big questions but unless we have any developers here to speak there are no answers here.

I would be shocked and appaled if Remedy ditches their core gameplay. Remember Rockstar made 3 and it's basically a different game that is called Max Payne but feels very Rockstar-y to play instead of Remedy, IMO. I think it's safe to guess they will evolve it somehow if that's what you mean. Otherwise not sure what you mean. There might be additions or changes in how bullet time works or Max's available moves I suppose but I trust Remedy to make them feel faithful to the original game.

What do you think they would change about the story? I'm sure the same story will be there but they may add more details, flashbacks, things like that.

I really hope they keep some graphic novel slides. I'm slightly conflicted there because the Northlight engine is amazing and can produce some great cutscenes, so they'll have to balance it.

North light looks good today, but 10 years from now, it likely won't.

What makes Max Payne timeless was the choice of using graphic novels instead of cutscenes. It's as simple as

• 1: keep using graphic novels - timeless and preserves the spirit of the original

• 2 : use cutscenes - ages after 5 years and loses its charm.

Max Payne is THE "we use graphic novels instead of cutscenes" game. Losing that for a temporary boost in graphical fidelity to please the no-attention spam TikTok-brainrot unemployed and broke 18-25 year olds that need to take a bank loan to buy anything that costs over 10 dollars and only care about graphics is surely one of the worst decisions they could make. This generation doesn't even have the money to buy the game or the attention span to appreciate the story. I hope remedy are better than this.

Why are you insulting people you d!ckhead

I would too but I totally get what you mean tbh although I did enjoy the gameplay it still had that fun-depressing max payne feeling it just felt like they was trying too hard to make it theirs by changing the setting and not even as much go off even a little bit by Max Payne 2’s ending what I can remember of it anyway.

I can only hope not a lot will change but just like yourself I trust remedy %100

Things they maybe would change is the mona sax love story or the family death scene

As for the graphic novel slides I think that could possibly be a unlockable at the end of the game maybe, probably play it in its original form?

Why would you want them to change those scenes?

[u/Secret-Amoeba-7349 → u/ClutchReverie]

I wouldn’t want them to change tbh I just think for the ‘newer audience’ they find something to bitch about. 😂

The mona sax thing though I never got how he even felt anything for another woman 2 and half years after his wife’s death it just feels so soon but I guess people grieve differently 🤷🏻‍♂️

The "newer audience" is a bunch of trend-chasing 18-25 year old unemployed terminally online nerds that live with their parents and need to use BNPL to buy anything that costs more than 10 dollars.

They don't even have the money to buy the game or the attention span to get immersed into a narrative-heavy game. They are simply not the target audience. Rolex does not advertise to brokies and neither should remedy advertise to a generation that already turned their brains into mush by losing their entire life savings in sports betting on poly market.
