MAX PAYNE 3 VOICE ACTOR PC

Last year the same thing was said about Red Dead Redemption needing to sell 5 million copies to break even (fortunately the game was a hit and sold over 9 million copies). According to Sterne Agee's Arvind Bhatia a gaming analyst, Max Payne 3 will have to sell 4 million copies to just break even.

It comes to the PC June 1st.Rockstar Games sure like to spend a lot of money on create their titles and Max Payne 3 is no different.

Max Payne 3 is rated M for Mature and is available for the Xbox and PS3. It’s a somber look at a broken man who, with your help, rights the wrongs he sees. I still believe that Max Payne 3 is Rockstar’s best to date. The bleachers in the soccer stadium come to mind here, where enemies are hucking grenades at you but … you never get grenades of your own. There are certain parts of certain maps that just become an annoying grind. They also work not just across matches but across games, so the crews you make in Max Payne 3 will follow onto GTA V.īullet Time also works in multiplayer, though its useage is limited to yourself and whoever happens to be in your targeting reticule.īut there are two things about the game I damn well hated: The load times are frequent and rather long (and hidden behind cutscenes you can’t skip). In addition to that, they’re persistent, cross-platform and you get extra XP for helping crew mates. While searching for games, and if you’re in a crew, you’re more likely to get matched up with your crewmates. It also has a feature called ‘Crews’ - which is more than just a clan tag. It’s deep and robust, with those RPG elements (leveling up your character to unlock cooler stuff/attachments/whathaveyou) that are apparently mandatory in every game now. The guns and the bullets and the blood would not have the same impact without his voice. His acting in particular is what sells the character and the story. James McCaffrey - who is the only voice actor in the world who I ever want to see as Max - returns, and he’s perfect. There will be many bodies by the time you’re done.īut, as mentioned, the real star of the show here is the narrative and the delivery. And Bullet Time makes a triumphant return here, giving you that edge in the middle of combat with seemingly countless enemies. It’s a little loose but perfectly serviceable. The game controls like Red Dead Redemption and Grand Theft Auto IV. While you won’t see limbs flying off enemies, the bullets you put into foes look alarmingly very much like bullet holes.Īnd, of course, there’s plenty of blood spray. Think of it like Denzel Washington’s “Man On Fire” but tack on The Video Game at the end. It’s gritty and realistic, but has enough flair to stand out. And Max finds himself stuck in the middle of what is effectively an endlessly twisting war.

The wealthy Bronco family - who are under Max’s protection - find themselves in the crosshairs of a street gang called the Comando Sombra. So, with nothing to lose, Max takes on a gig as a bodyguard for rich kids in Brazil at the insistence of his former police academy pal Raul Passos.Īnd, of course, things go terribly wrong. He’s lost his wife and his daughter and his life as a NYPD Detective. He’s an alcoholic and addicted to painkillers. Max Payne 3 shows us a protagonist who, in his words, isn’t slipping, but “slipped.” Max is a battered shell of a man. I don’t know if it’s narrative perfection, but it’s close.
