Check out a brand new interview posted at Digital Trends where we speak on the technology behind Max Payne 3, going into detail on the game's advances in targeting and animation design as recently highlighted in our recent Design and Technology Series Video.

"Max Payne 3 is about the beauty and the art of shooting rather than just the end result, and it gives players a sense of total control over every shot. While lots of games create epic cinematic moments, our goal has been to make the entire game feel cinematic, creating one intense, seamless, non-stop experience."
