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. The action scenes looked great, there are plenty of examples of the great MP gameplay throughout such as the tracing sniper bullet, dives, a cool shot to the head takedown that happens after a reload and may be the new reload move, bullet traces, etc etc.I don’t know if it’s narrative perfection, but it’s close. As many say the story was pretty closed, which is good that it's something different than using the same ideas again. I'm excited to see how Max has changed as a character after the events of the first two games. There are plenty of Maxs! open your eyes, there are so many Max models because the story skips all throughout a timeline, there was a beat up and bandaged Max, bald, original, and strong and bearded. The glass breaking in many scenes shows this along with enemy reactions to bullets.ģ. This is what makes Max Payne different from most games, each bullet had actual physics, and with Euphoria it's going to be amazing.
Environmental destruction is based on the bullets not hitboxes from what I see.
Max payne 3 voice actor serial#
Super detailed guns, bullets and casings, serial numbers!Ģ. I have been enjoying slowing down the video and pausing to see the little things that are thereġ. I think Brazil at night is much more fucked than NY. There were plenty of scenes at night and in different locations.
