We Chat with GamesRadar on the Weapons of Max Payne 3

Posted on January 13 2012, 10:08am | Author: R* Q | Filed Under: Games

We sat down with GamesRadar this week to discuss details on Max's deadly and destructive arsenal of weapons in Max Payne 3, covering insights into weapon design, dual-wielding and other aspects of the game's arsenal. Here's a taste:

"We looked at a lot of Brazilian-manufactured guns as inspiration for the game. We noticed certain weapons showing up in photos time and again during our research of the city and its various factions. Both the drug trade and police force in Brazil have specific preferences for shotguns and assault rifles to a point where those weapons have become wholly associated with their respective factions. This information helped us make some small tweaks to Max’s classic arsenal, and players will notice some subtle differences in the weapons Max has access to from the original games.  With that in mind, we made sure to include some classic Max favorites from the original games, such as the sawed-off shotgun and fully automatic SMGs."

                  Holy Moly! Just realized R* clearly took Max's Hawaiian shirt inspiration from this one: http://www.paradiseclothingco.com/prodimages/RJC/2007/Mens/104.98-Blk.jpg

                  It's real, guys! Wow!

                    Remedy praises R* http://kotaku.com/5876306/remedy-says-what-rockstar-has-done-with-max-payne-is-brilliant

                    "We absolutely love what they've done and couldn't be more proud of where the series is headed. I mean, they don't really make s**tty games, do they? It's as if the Rockstar logo has become this, Seal of Quality." – Oskari Häkkinen from Remedy

                      Nice.. Rockstar The Detalist ha! I Love This Detalism. Work Hard On This! Cause' I Think That MP Is A Nice Shooting Game. And More Realism And Better Gameplay Is The Thing That Attract Me To Buy Games (I LOOOVE GTA Because Of THis Too) And Your Games Have All This Requisites. I Was Reading This Article From The Same Site.. And I Saw Another http://www.gamesradar.com/10-games-we-probably-wont-see-until-2013/?page=3 Hope Some Fellas And YOU ROCKSTAR Read This

                            It's an interview with movie composer, Pedro Bromfman, who scored Tropa De Elite (Elite Squad) and talks about working on the score for Max Payne 3.

                                        Are you going to do some tribute to Miika Forssell?
                                        I think it would be a good idea.
