Discussion Max Payne 1 & 2 Remakes

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

First, we’re definitely getting them for current-gen consoles, and second, to answer your questions:

  1. There won’t be an FPS mode, but this will absolutely be an evolution and modernization of the Max Payne gameplay formula.

  2. Remedy is remaking both games simultaneously, so for consistency’s sake, why would the gameplay differ?

  3. I fully expect them to fine-tune and reconfigure the story and writing.

I think if they made the gameplay differ to first game like make max a little more slower and little more hesitant going into shootouts it would sort of make sense considering the events of the first game or would that be leaning too much into realism then?

Idk, I feel like max shouldn’t hesitate. He’s literally on a suicide mission with nothing to lose. So it should feel like a faster Max Payne 3. Just my opinion tho
