For the fans of Max Payne, it has been a long wait since 2003 when the last game was realesed. In 2004, when Take-Two mentioned taht a new follow up will eventually arrive. In 2008 Take-Two chairman once again mentioned that another installement might be in working but again he didn’t provide any firm details.

Now Take-Two and Rockstar Games have publicly announced that Max Payne 3 is in development and will be out in winter this year. It will be released on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC. The game is developed by Rockstar Vancouver. Finish outfit Remedy, which developed the first two Max Payne titles is now currently developing Alan Wake, which will be published by Microsoft.

Vancouver apparently will not be going far off from Remedy’s original design, but as Max Payne 3 again sees the retired NYPD veteran officer fighting internal demons as well as those which plague the streets.
Rockstar cofounder Sam Houser stated: “we’re starting a new chapter of Max’s life with this game”. Unfortunaly Rockstar did not reveal any specific game play details such as bullet time and slow motion techniques. But the publisher noted that "the latest installment delivers more of the classic elements and hyper intense action that fans have come to love."There are a lot of expectations about this game so you can imagine that the game will be produced to a high standard for now what is left to do is wait for the game to be released. Damian Gaslawski...signing off.
