Hmmmm, I was always going to give this game a chance (loved the series) but do you think theyre trying too hard to try to win over skeptic fan of the series with these behind the scene tech trailers?
That being said I'm a sucker for game design theory and enjoyed watching it.

To be fair, "cinematic" was the by-word for the first two games too. And you really don't see the similarities during the rooftop snowy shootout bits? Because, to me, that looked very similar to the first two games.Norix596 said:
Looks pretty good! I have to keep an eye on this...
But when did John McClane grow a beard? And a beer gut?

Rockstar are fast becoming a 'buy whatever they release' developer.
On a technical level, this looks incredible. Shame pushing the bar generally means nothing in this market.

I'm still skeptical. While the controls look much better than they were in the first two games (quite frankly, Max Payne and Max Payne 2 had terrible controls and unmemorable gameplay), I can't help but get the feeling the narration is going to suffer. I'm getting more of a Theme Park Noir feeling here. I'm not sure if I can describe it, but the trailers make it feel more like they had a checklist to go off of rather than a knowledge and feeling for the genre.
I might be proven wrong though. I still plan on waiting for the reviews to pile in before I think about buying it.

Good trailer: Almost entirely gameplay, varied, and isn't interrupted by the stupid dev diaries all games seem to have these days.
As for the game, it looks excellent. Inevitably there will still be fans bitching about Max getting fatter, balder and more cosmopolitan, but fuck 'em. They don't know what they want. If it was yet another constipated faced man mixing metaphors in a black and white new york, they would have moaned just as much about sequels being exactly the same and having no new ideas.

wow...
That told me absolutely nothing, pure spin on tech that already exists. The game looks nice though. That was enough to draw me in
