Someone on GTAForums.com pried apart the files inside Max Payne 3 and found a vehicle list shot through with callbacks to past makes and models from the Grand Theft Auto series.
This only marginally qualifies as a spoiler alert, because if you’ve played Max Payne 3 for longer than 20 minutes, you’ve encountered this mission already. It revolves around a shootout in the locker room of the Galatians FC in Sao Paulo, Brazil, which, as a quick internet search plus common sense reveals, ain’t a real team.
Max Payne 3 throws a lot of highly stylised violence at you, and almost all of it is beautiful to look at. But you’ve got to keep moving through Rockstar’s latest release in to order to get Max the answers he desperately craves, which means you can’t necessarily enjoy the ambiance as much as you’d like.
In preparation for next week’s release of Max Payne 3 and the launch of the Crews system, Rockstar Games has given its Social Club site a complete overhaul, complete with user profiles, a new friends system, and integration with Facebook and Twitter. In short, this time it’s social.
Max Payne doesn’t wear tights. But, if insanely fast reflexes, deadly marksmanship and an ability to swill the worst whisky around count, you could argue that the gritty NYPD detective of Rockstar Games’ shooters has superpowers. Powers or not, he’ll be appearing in a new series from Marvel Comics which is being written by Rockstar’s Dan Houser and Remedy’s Sam Lake.
Just in time for his return to consoles, Max Payne’s also going to be making a debut into the comics world. Announced today, a new series coming from the House of Ideas will delve into Max’s early years — during the era of the first two MP games — with art from Fernando Blanco. The scripts will be written by Rockstar co-founder Dan Houser and Remedy’s Sam Lake.
Rockstar today released the full list of achievements for upcoming third-person shooter Max Payne 3, which will be out May 15.
