Rockstar Games announces Max Payne 3

Rockstar Games announced today that Max Payne 3 is currently in development for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC platforms, with a release date scheduled for Winter 2009.

"We're starting a new chapter of Max's life with this game," said Sam Houser, Founder of Rockstar Games. "This is Max as we've never seen him before, a few years older, more world-weary and cynical than ever. We experience the downward spiral of his life after the events of Max Payne 2 and witness his last chance for salvation."

Since leaving the NYPD and New York itself behind, Max Payne has drifted from bad to worse. Double-crossed and a long way from home, Payne finds himself trapped in a city full of violence and bloodshed in a desperate search for the truth.

Hopefully we can expect more news on the game at this week’s GDC.

     I love the Max Payne storyline and gameplay from it's time.  I do however; Hope that they update the play machanics as shooting people in slow mo is a bit out dated.  I hope that they add some advance melee gameplay as well.

    multiplat lol this game will look horrible on the PS3 I can already see it. I did enjoy 1 & 2 though but with the way multiplats go on the PS3 im not expecting sweet graphics or detailed graphics. I just hope that the game isn't short and graphics don't overpower gameplay like in nearly all the games made now-a-days.

    Too bad Remedy isn't doing this one...

    They are too busy with the Alan Wake...

    I hope Rockstar can get it right and they don't lose the original soul of the first two games.

    for the people who think the graphics will be the worst out of both consoles. think about how gta iv did. it looked almost identical and was slighty better on the ps3. rockstar are masters of their craft and i wouldnt expect anything less from them. they have to be one of the best developers/publishers out thier. anything from them is goldust imo

    I have hope that this will be out this fall/winter since they acknowledged the possible existence of it since before the current gen started. Hope they been hard at work perfecting the third installment.

    the 360 version will screw the ps3 version over it will end up like a gta4 look a like with blurred graphics and bad physics
