New Max Payne 3 Details Unveiled | VGN365

New Max Payne details reveal that Max Payne 3 isn’t just a straight sequel.

You may have expected Max Payne 3 to take you straight into the life of the drunken, Bruce Willis lookalike Max Payne, but you’d be wrong. In the latest issue of Edge magazine, Rockstar revealed new details regarding the game. The Max Payne reboot takes place 8 years after Max Payne 2, but the story will be told in a very unique way. Art director Rob Nelson explained:

We’re always playing with time in the story, we move backwards and forward; we use really aggressive editing. It’s unlike anything we’ve done in any of our games before.

The game will show you how Max Payne becomes the alcoholic mess we’ve been led to believe he is. Max Payne 3 was meant to release in late 2009, and was subsequently delayed to 2010, and then 2011. Rockstar are yet to announce a release date for Max Payne 3, but the game is meant to release at some point between 2011 and 2012.
